【案例背景】

随着课程改革的深入发展和推进,英语绘本教学已经逐步成为小学生补充、完善英语知识的重要途径。绘本,英文称Picture Book,顾名思义是指一种以图画为主,文字为辅,融合视觉艺术与语言艺术而呈现出来的故事书籍。为了能够切实提升学生的英语核心素养和英语学习能力,近年来,南京市小学英语学科教师在教研员张老师的带领下进行英语绘本教学的研究。对于英语绘本教学,每一位教师可能都是初学者,那该如何上好一节英语绘本教学课呢?如何让自己的英语绘本教学更精彩呢?对于一名年轻的英语教师来说,这是一种挑战,也是一个新的成长平台。

在市举行的首届“绘本教学大赛”中,有一节英语绘本教学课给我留下了深刻的印象,其中预测策略在课堂中的巧妙运用,充分激发了学生英语学习的兴趣,使得课堂教学精彩纷呈。

【案例反思】

本节课虽然是一位年轻的英语教师执教,但着名的英语教学专家张伊娜教授给予了很高的评价:“这是一节让学生很感兴趣的课堂!这是一节让听课评委和听课老师很享受的课堂!作为一线教师,让学生对自己的英语课堂有浓厚的兴趣,可以说是我们每一位教师不懈努力、孜孜追求的目标。”美国教育家布鲁纳曾说过:“学习的最好刺激,乃是对所学材料的兴趣。”那幺,我们的课堂,学生的兴趣去哪儿了呢?我们在教学中不妨尝试从儿童的天性出发,运用预测策略,建构高效的绘本教学课堂。
