《普通高中英語課程標準(2017版)》提出:學科核心素養是學科育人價值的集中體現,是學生通過學科學習而逐步形成的正確價值觀念、必備品格和關鍵能力。英語學科核心素養主要包括語言能力、文化意識、思維品質和學習能力。義務教育階段的英語課程具有工具性和人文性雙重性質。就人文性而言,英語課程承擔著提高學生綜合人文素養的任務,即學生通過英語課程能夠開闊視野,豐富生活經歷,形成跨文化意識,增強愛國主義精神,發展創新能力,形成良好的品格和正確的人生觀與價值觀。
外研版小學新標準英語六年級下冊第七模塊第二單元中的She couldnt see or hear.是一篇人文性很強的課文。本課用過去時態完整講述美國盲聾女作家Helen Keller的生活、學習及成名經歷,使學生提升語言素養的同時,提升學科核心素養。本課的德育元素大于知識元素,重點是讓學生能在實際情境中運用目標語句:She couldnt see or hear. She learnt to read, write and speak. She is a model for blind people.難點是靈活、清晰、流暢地使用could,couldnt及常見動詞過去式描述人物具備和不具備的能力。
【學情分析】
學生在六年級下學期已經積累了600個詞匯和200個句式,掌握一般現在時、一般將來時、現在進行時和一般過去時的基本用法,80%的學生養成了良好的語言學習習慣,具備較強的綜合語言運用能力。在本課學習過程中,學生可能遇到illness, learnt, travelled, model等詞匯的發音障礙,教師需反復強化;在復述課文或靈活表達環節,學生可能出現不流利的情況,教師應及時提供詞匯線索,助其完整表達。
【思路梳理】
基于高品質課堂實踐的落腳點——立足于對學生生命的尊重與關懷的高度,弘揚“愛”的崇高,彰顯“育人”的核心主題,堅持能力為重的鮮明主線,追求學生健康成長的終極目標。結合高品質課堂高尚、本真、豐厚、靈動的基本要素。本課我以話題做導引,在激趣創境中和學生一起經歷粗讀、精讀到深挖文章內涵的過程;設計問題鏈,帶領學生理解、朗讀課文,提升語言能力;用特殊疑問詞when, where, what, how, why組成思維導圖,幫助學生靈活運用所學語言復述課文,提升思維品質;組織勵志體驗活動,讓學生在參與中感悟生命的意義,珍惜今天的幸福生活。

【課后反思】
一是潛移默化,訓練思維。本模塊以語篇帶動詞句學習,課前我與學生共讀《假如給我三天光明》,初識海倫·凱勒;課中與學生經歷“句子歸位”“故事復述”活動組句、說句活動,拓展學生的英語思維,使他們熟識海倫·凱勒。
二是創設語境,提升能力。基于學情和教學內容,本課我力求創設自然且有意義語境,通過填一填、寫一寫、說一說、讀一讀及問題鏈的形式幫助學生感知探索海倫·凱勒身殘志堅的生命歷程,借助思維導圖鼓勵學生復述文本、找尋閱讀方法,提升語用能力。
三是聚焦個體,收獲情感。我讓學生戴眼罩耳塞模擬進入海倫·凱勒的世界、觀看尼克·胡哲的勵志視頻,激發學生內在情感,培育其堅毅的道德品質和健康的身心狀態。
【案例評析】
《義務教育英語課程標準(2011年版)》指出,語言具有豐富的文化內涵,在學習英語的過程中,讓學生接觸和了解英語國家的文化,有益于學生對英語的理解和使用,能提高學生對中外文化差異的敏感度和鑒別能力,進而提高跨文化交際能力。本課是一節基于語篇理解帶動文化體驗的英語課,課上師生同心攜手經歷了一段鮮活的生命歷程和一場安靜的文化之旅,整節課體現了教育立意的高尚、學生學習的本真、文化傳播的豐厚和情感升華的靈動。
本課亮點有如下三點:一是彰顯課程育人的文化價值,二是凸顯教師的主導作用,三是凸顯學生的主體地位。這是一節語言課,也是一次“漫長”的生命體驗課,學生經歷過程,體會滋味,產生感悟:無論處于何種人生境遇,擁有陽光的心態、堅定的信念和頑強的毅力都會成為再次成功的基石。
本課中,學生一邊習得語言,一邊感悟生命真諦,他們的心靈被高尚的情操悄悄地灌溉,他們的身心在珍惜和感恩中茁壯地成長。一堂課,一本書,一個人物,一種人生,一次體驗,Helen Keller帶給我們諸多對生命的珍視與思考:唯有活在當下,活好當下,不斷超越自我,方可不負初心,勇敢前行。
