【編者綜述】
孩子們喜歡故事,老師也喜歡故事,因此,通過故事的方式引導小學生學習英語已經成為當前一種有效的英語教學方式。《義務教育英語課程標準》(2011年版)在“語言技能”二級要求中就英語故事教學做出如下描述:“能聽懂簡單的配圖小故事,能在教師的幫助下和圖片的提示下描述或講述簡單的小故事,能正確朗讀所學故事或短文,能在教師的幫助下表演小故事或小短劇。”為此,當前很多小學英語教材都在權重板塊設置了“Story Time”,旨在通過故事的方式引導學生開展富有趣味的英語學習活動。確實,故事教學給小學英語課堂帶來了新的活力、新的氣象,然而,當一些英語小故事被抹上過于濃重的“教學味”的時候,它們在學生眼中便失去了原有的魅力,所謂的“Story Time”也就或多或少地缺失了故事該有的滋味。因此,如何使故事教學更具有故事的味兒,也是我們當今面對的一個重要課題。多年來,錢希潔老師對此進行了深入的實踐與探索,本文主要以她執教的譯林出版社出版的《義務教育教科書· 英語》(五年級上冊)Unit 1 Story time板塊中的故事“Goldilocks and the three bears”教學中的幾個片段為例,闡述了她對小學英語故事教學的思考,旨在與廣大同行朋友們探討:如何使小學英語故事教學散發出更為濃郁的故事味。我們相信,這樣的探討對于其它學科的教學,也有一定的借鑒意義。
