巧用讨论，活化课堂 习水县习酒镇中学高克健 一、问题的提出 《英语课程标准》指出：英语课程改革“强调课程从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式。”因此，新课程只有面向生活实际，才能提高学习兴趣。教学要以学生为中心（student-centred），鼓励学生对教学内容的自我理解、自我解读，尊重学生的个人感受和独特见解。教师应根据学生的年龄、心理特点，通过让学生参与讨论，努力寻求独特的认识、感受、方法和体验。英语课本中每单元中的综合技能课即阅读课（Integrated Skills），如果仅以课本为中心，按“学生听--- 填答案—读对话”的模式去教的话，学生很难有兴趣参与教学活动，课堂气氛沉闷，教学效果欠佳。因此，如何指导学生主动参与各种灵活多变的、有意义的交际性活动，使以课本为中心的练习活动向以生活为中心的练习活动转化(transfer from text-based activities to life-based activities)非常值得我们研究，而讨论不失为实现这一转化的一个较好的方法。以下是人教版八下 Unit8 How was your school trip? 的Integrated Skills的一个教学案例分析，就如何利用讨论激活课堂做了初步的尝试，愿与大家共同探讨。 二、教学设计 设计意图：运用“讨论式”的英语教学模式和采用“任务型”英语教学途径，培养学生的听说读写能力，突出听力和口语训练，为写作打下基础，并注重学习策略的培养，使学生在积极的讨论中领会语言信息的输入与输出、听与说之间的内在联系，并引导学生独立思考，以讨论、合作学习的方式练习口语。 主题内容: 人教版八下 Unit8 How was your school trip? 相关领域：旅游、信息技术 任务布置：1.网上查寻我国的著名旅游城市以及可进行的娱乐活动，并作汇报。 2.课堂讨论、交流 3.口语输出:以对话形式和同学讨论“五一”假期旅游计划及春节旅游计划。 讨论题的分层次设计 英语讨论题的设计，一般分为三个层次，其特征可见下表： 三、教学过程(Teaching procedures) 本课时我安排了三个层次的讨论。 1． Pre-listening Discussion 讨论前的准备：(preparation for discussion) 由于本单元的话题How was your school trip?对于农村中学学生较为生疏，因此课前一周教师给学生布置如下任务:利用信息课在网上查寻： （1）Where can we go for holiday?
