优化课堂教学结构,激发英语课堂活力《英语课程标准》指出:“英语课程改革的重点就是要改变英语课程过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授、忽视对学生实际语言运用能力的培养,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和任务型的教学途径,发展学生的综合语言运用能力,使语言学习的过程成为学生形成积极的情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践、提高跨文化意识和形成自主学习能力的过程。
”然而,长期以来受应试教育的影响,大部分教师仅把英语作为语言知识来传授,忽视了语言实际应用能力的培养。
教师上课主要是讲解语言知识以及进行一些机械操练,在课堂上很少给学生语言实践的机会。
分析这种教学模式,发现学生多是以被动接受知识为主,基本上是按照老师的要求完成任务。
学生的学习是机械的被动接受,老师提出问题,学生作相应反应,之后是作业练习,这样使学生学习英语的主动性被压抑。
而成功的英语教学不只是看一节课教了多少内容,最重要的是看学生练了多少,学会了多少,在实践中能用多少,这种”学会”,”能用”就是”内化”,为此,在英语教学实践中,就要以此为目标优化教学内容,优化教学手段,优化”识记——操练——运用”的教学过程,让学生在整个教学活动中,有强烈的求知欲和成功感。
要优化教学内容,就必须吃透教材,活化教材,使教材内容生活化,让学生感到书本语言和我们生活实践贴得很近,对教学内容具有亲切感,进而产生浓厚的求知欲,强烈的进取欲,变被动吸取为主动探索,因此,创造性地钻研教学内容,在利教、便学、易记上下功夫,在培养学生能力上下功夫,是切实有效地提高英语教学质量的有效途径。
优化教学手段,必须充分利用和创设情景,无论是语言情景、实物情景、声像情景都可以激发学生的学习兴趣。
如听录音、看投影,角色对话等,让学生入情入景,努力使书本语言和实际运用统一起来,使课堂教学在全方位多层次的活动中轻松愉快地进行。
优化教学过程,必须把重点放在提高学生语言运用的能力上。

What does Mr. Stark think of his nicknames?He is called “the Da Vinci of our time”, as he is a great genius in inventing weapons. But he thinks this nickname is ridiculous. He is also called “theMerchant of Death”, as henot only creates weapons but also promotes hisweapons to countries all over the world, thus causing casualties in battles. He thinks this nickname is not bad, and he doesn’t take the nickname seriously.2. According to Mr. Stark, what is the philosophy of his father? When beingcriticized as “war-profiteering”, how does Mr. Stark defend this philosophy?What do you think of this philosophy?Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.He defend this philosophy by showing that military fund benefits medical and agricultural technology.(Open question) This philosophy is reasonable. Having a bigger stick, i.e. stronger military force, allows you to achieve a sort of diplomacy through the threat of force. / This philosophy is ridiculous. Developing weapons definitely causes danger to world peace.Excuse me! Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?-Security: She's cute.-Tony: She's all right? Hi.-Christine: Hi.-Tony: Yeah. Okay, go.-Christine: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?-Tony: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.-Christine: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?-Tony: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?-Christine: Brown, actually.-Tony: Well, Ms. Brown, It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we've got.I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I’ll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.-Christine: Rehearse that much?-Tony: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.-Christine: I can see that.-Tony: I'd like to show you first-hand.-Christine: All I want is a serious answer.-Tony: Okay, here is serious. My old man had a philosophy: Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.-Christine: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.-Tony: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project.A lot of people, including your professors at Brown would call that being a hero.-Christine: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.-Tony: Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology, or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.1. Can you summarize what has been reported in the TV news in this scene?The Ten Rings cause violence in the outskirts of Gulmira, driving villagers out of their home. Refugees need help from the outside.2. After watching the news, how does Mr. Stark react? What does he do to helpchange the reported situation? What do you think of his behavior?He is angry, and set out on his Iron Man suit to the place in the report immediately. There he saves the refugees from being kidnapped and battles with the ten rings.(Open question) His behavior is great and heroic. /He has no right to crossthe country boundaries as he like./ He shouldn’t have intervened othercountries’ affairs.Movie Clip 2-TV: The fifteen miles hike to the outskirts of Gulmira can only be described as a'descent into Hell', into a modern day heart of darkness. Simple farmers and herders from peaceful villages have been driven from their homes, displaced from their lands by warlords emboldened by a newfound power. Villagers have been forced to take shelter in whatever crude dwellings they can find in the ruins of other villages or here, in the remnants of the old Soviet smelting plant. Recent violence has been attributed to a group of foreign fighters, referred to by locals as the Ten Rings. As you can see, these men are heavily armed and on a mission. A mission that could prove fatal to anyone who stands in their way. With no political will or international pressure, there's very little hope for these refugees. Around me, a woman begging for news on her husband, who was kidnapped by insurgents, either forced to join their militia... Desperate refugees clutch yellowed photographs, holding them up to anyone who will stop. A child's simple question: “Where are my mother and father”? There's very little hope for these refugees, refugees who can only wonder who, if anyone, will help.Section 2 In-class ActivitiesB Task One General understanding of the main ideaTask Two Further understanding of detailsDirections :Listen again and work in groups of 4 or 5 to take notes.

It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations or insinuate that I'm a superhero.-Reporter: I never said you were a superhero.-Tony: Didn't?

Part I Language through Movie B Extensive Listening ActivitiesMovie Clip 1Listen to the conversation between two gentlemen in their first meeting and answer the following questions. What defect does the gentleman seated on the sofa suffer from? He suffers from a stutter/ stammer ---- a speech impediment(妨碍,阻止 口吃,结巴;) How do they mutually prefer to be addressed? And why, according to your understanding? Bertie addresses Lionel as “Dr. Logue”, but Lionel prefers to be called “Lionel”—the given name. Bertie hopes Lionel to address him formally as “Your Royal Highness” or “Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George”, while Lionel prefers to call the other party “Bertie”. Lionel believes it’s better for treatment if they’re equals, but Bertie values the rigid hierarchical relationship between them. Watch the scene on a series of treatments the doctor offered and answer the following questions.1.2.Movie Clip 21. In the process of treatment, what physical exercises did the doctor carry out? Lionel carried out some mechanical practice/muscle therapy to relax Bertie’s jaw muscles and strengthen his tongue. In addition, he helped Bertie loosen his shoulders, take deep breath and expand his chest by mechanical practice. 2. Do you think Bertie's problem is only a physiological(生理学的;生理 的)one? From your viewpoint, what (other) practical treatments can be applied? (Open) Bertie’s problem may not be simply a physiological one, because the physical treatment turns out to be not sufficiently effective, only dealing with the surface of stammer problem. If it is psychological, it may be workable for Bertie to undergo some mental consultation or therapy.1Section 2 In-class Activities A Class Lead-in1.

让高中英语课堂充满活力和活力论文让高中英语课堂充满活力和活力论文高中英语新课程标准对学生的语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等五个方面分别提出了要求,以往陈旧的教学方法与手段已不能适应目前课堂教学的需要。
这就要求老师在正常的课堂教学中除了“合理有效地使用教科书以外,还应该积极利用其他课程资,特别是播送影视节目、录音录像资料、直观教具和实物、多媒体光盘资料、各种形式的网络资、报刊杂志等等”。
这些资的最正确运用形式就是将信息技术应用于英语课堂教学,即进展信息技术与英语学科教学的整合。
一、运用信息技术,营造教学情境,激发学生兴趣托尔斯泰说,“成功的教学需要的不是强迫,而是激发学生的学习兴趣。
”心理学家认为,学生在兴趣盎然的状态下学习,观察力敏锐,记忆力增强,想象力丰富,会兴致勃勃、心情愉快地学习,表现出个性的积极性和创造性。
可见,兴趣是学生主动学习的内在动力。
学习情境的创设是外语教学中关键的一环。
外语交际教学法认为,创设一种真实的交际环境,才能使学生在真实的交际活动中开展其语言才能和交际才能。
因此,在英语课堂教学中如何创设真实的教学情境,将决定课堂教学的质量,影响学生的学习动机和兴趣。
老师在讲授时一定要生动、形象、详细,深化浅出,循循善诱。
理论证明,老师运用信息技术对教学内容的精心设计,创设与教学内容相吻合的教学情境,营造学生乐于学的学习气氛,可在课堂教学中不断激发学生浓重的求知欲,增强学习的信心。
例如:教学Module2 Unit3 Computer—Using Language Andy—the Android时,上课前老师播放《变人》片段〔选取两姐妹在海边玩耍到Andrew为向小姐抱歉,用树根雕刻了一匹小马给她,并且得到了她的原谅〕,影片完毕时,老师随即提出问题:What is the Robot in the video doing?让学生观看该段有关机器人影片的剧照或片段,自然地导入该课的主题,以帮助学生大致理解机器人在日常生活中可以做的事情,同时能活泼课堂气氛,为下一步阅读策略的教学作了有效的铺垫。

Only with the existence of rules, laws and moral standards, can we have true freedom, happiness as well as a harmonious society.澳洋医院办公楼及综合楼网络方案目录第一章.概述................................................................................................... 错误!未定义书签。
