英语专业精读教学中学生赏析能力的培养——以“A Dill Pickle”为例作者:刘少仙来源:《校园英语》 2020年第36期文/刘少仙【摘要】精读作为英语专业的核心课程,其中心任务是提升学生的阅读能力,即提高学生的理解能力、赏析能力和应用能力。
如何提高学生核心能力之一的赏析能力,是一个值得研究却被忽视的问题。
本文笔者尝试从课文标题、课文主题、写作技巧和修辞手法四个方面,对《一块莳萝泡菜》进行赏析,希望起到抛砖引玉的效果。

精读教学在本科英语教学中的核心地位毋庸置疑,其中心任务是提升学生的阅读能力,即:理解能力,赏析能力和应用能力。
赏析能力要求学生理解文章、努力提高欣赏水平,“学会细细品味文章的思想美、修辞美、结构美、逻辑美、音韵美。
了解不同的题材、作家、时代、观点、文体和风格,关切人世间各种问题,倾听过去各种优秀人物的真知灼见”。
只有学生有了一定的赏析能力,他们才能从赏析的视角去理解原文、剖析原文、挖掘原文的言下之意和言外之意、体会文章的主题美、思想美和语言美。
赏析能力的培养如此重要,笔者却无法在知网中找到与在精读教学中培养英语专业本科生赏析能力直接相关的论文。
因此,本论文尝试以杨立明主编的《现代大学英语精读》课文“A Dill Pickle”(《一块莳萝泡菜》)为例,从英语专业精读教学的角度出发,探究如何在精读教学中培养学生的赏析能力,以期填补这一研究上的空白。
一、“课文标题”赏析“居文之首,勾文之要”是对标题在文中特殊作用的概括。
标题是一篇文章的点睛之处,是作者的神来之笔。
大凡名篇佳作都有一个好标题,它们能够成功拨动读者心弦、激发读者的阅读兴趣、引发读者的遐思。
它们或揭示中心思想、或概括主要内容、或暗示行文线索、或奠定文章基调、或明确描写对象、或交代故事发生的环境、或设置悬吸引读者……在进行英语专业的精读教学时,对文章标题美的赏析必不可少。
《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》教材分析【摘要】教材是教师进行教学活动的依据,也是学生学习的根本,而综合英语教材是英语专业教学最基本、最重要的内容。
《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》作为目前使用较广泛的专业英语教材,其重要性是不言而喻的,因此,对其进行综合的分析是必要的。
【关键词】《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》教材分析优点不足一、引言作为英语教学中最基本的因素,教材是开展教学活动的主要依据和学生学习的中心内容。
而对英语专业教学来说,综合英语教材更是重中之重。
因此,选用合适的精读教材对于精读课来说是至关重要的。
《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》是目前使用较为广泛的专业英语教材之一,因此,对其进行综合分析是十分必要的。
本文着重分析《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》这套教材的优点与不足之处。
二、对教材优点的分析1.题材广泛、内容丰富、主题深刻、语言优美《现代大学英语精读(第二版)》的文章都选自英美国家的原创文章,选材全面广泛,涉及西方社会、政治、经济、历史、文化等各个方面。
选材主题包括如下:学习态度(如Another School Year―What For?);家庭关系(如Message of the Land);人生感悟(如Half a Day);神话故事(如The Nightingale and the Rose);悬疑小说(如Midnight Visitor);历史灾难(如Pompeii);生态环保(如The Rite of Spring);生活轶事(如The Boy and the Bank Officer);人性探讨(如The Man in the Water);种族优越感(如Say Yes),等等。
此教材题材的广泛性和体裁的多样性体现了综合英语知识内容综合的特点,在很大程度上提高了学生的学习兴趣。
课文语言优美,写作手法多姿多彩,还大量运用了各种修辞手法,如比喻(明喻、隐喻)、借代、对照、夸张、讽喻等,使文章生动活泼,富有情趣。
试论语篇分析在英语专业精读课教学中的应用摘要:语篇分析的应用对提高学生的阅读速度、对文章的理解深度、语篇水平、语言交际能力具有必然的踊跃作用。
本文通过对英语专业精读课教学现状的分析,探讨了语篇分析教学的理论依据,着重论述了语篇分析在精读课教学中的具体运用。
关键词:语篇分析英语精读教学应用1. 精读课教学现状在目前的大学英语精读教学中存在这样的问题,很多学生掌握了大纲要求的词汇,语法知识也很扎实,却可能在读一篇生词不多的文章时抓不住其主旨。
还有的学生学了多年的英语却写不出一封简单得体的书信,至于在课堂上就一个问题发表自己的看法时,表述不清、前后矛盾的情况就更为普遍了。
究其原因,主要是教师在教学过程中往往着重于字、词、句的分析和语法讲解,对学生语音、语调、词汇量的培训,却忽视了学生实际运用所学语言能力的培养。
这种脱离语境、以逐个语言点和词句为单位的教学模式忽视了篇章的结构,既不利于语言知识点的理解与吸收,又不利于对文章的整体把握,更谈不上理解该文章的思想性与艺术性。
针对这些问题,本文试图从语篇分析理论入手,寻求一种能有效解决支离破碎的语言点与文章宏观把握之间关系的方法,以期进一步改进英语精读教学,以此来提高教学效果。
2. 语篇分析理论黄国文教授认为:“语篇通常指一系列持续的话段或句子组成的语言整体。
语篇无论以何种形式出现,都必需合乎语法,而且语义连贯,包括与外界在语义上和语用上的连贯,也包括语篇内部在语言上的连贯。
”语篇分析是指对比句子更长,以交际为目的的对语言段落所作的语言及交际功能的分析,是从语篇的整体动身来分析解构整个篇章。
语篇分析以篇章为大体单位,从篇章的整体动身,先分析理解篇章结构,然后分析句子与句子之间,段落与段落之间的衔接及逻辑思维的连贯,从而使学生具有通览全篇的能力,掌握文章的主题,同时掌握句子在表达篇章整体意义上所起的作用。
3. 语篇分析在精读课教学中的具体运用文化背景知识的导入有助于进行语篇教学只有联系一篇文章所反映的政治、经济、历史、文化等背景知识,才能对该文章的主题即作者的写作意图、观点等做出正确的评价与反馈。
现代大学英语精读重点讲解现代大学英语精读重点讲解Beneath my clenched fingers the alder was wriggling like a small, frightened snake. My father saw that I was about to drop it."Hang on to it!"“The branch is squirming," I repeated. "And I hear something that sounds like a river!""Open your eyes," my father ordered.I was stunned, as though he'd awakened me while I was dreaming."What does it mean?" I asked my father."It means that underneath us, right here, there's a little freshwater spring. If we dig, we could drink from it. I've just taught you how to find a spring. It's something my own father taught me. It isn't something you learn in school. And it isn't useless: a man can get along without writing and arithmetic, but he can never get along without water."Much later, I discovered that my father was famous in the region because of what the people called his "gift": before digging a well they always consulted him; they would watch him prospecting the fields or the hills, eyes closed, hands clenched on the fork of an alder bough. Wherever my father stopped, they marked the ground; there they would dig; and there water would gush forth.Years passed; I went to other schools, saw other countries, I had children, I wrote some books and my poor father is lying in the earth where so many times he had found fresh water.One day someone began to make a film about my villageand its inhabitants, from whom I've stolen so many of the stories that I tell. With the film crew we went to see a farmer to capture the image of a sad man: his children didn't want to receive the inheritance he'd spent his whole life preparing for them—the finest farm in the area. While the technicians were getting cameras and microphones ready the farmer put his arm around my shoulders, saying:"I knew your father well.""Ah! I know. Everybody in the village knows each other... No one feels like an outsider.""You know what's under your feet?""Hell?" I asked, laughing."Under your feet there's a well. Before I dug I called in specialists from the Department of Agriculture; they did research, they analyzed shovelfuls of dirt; and they made a report where they said there wasn't any water on my land. With the family, the animals, the crops, I need water. When I saw that those specialists hadn't found any. I thought of your father and I asked him to come over. He didn't want to; I think he was pretty fed up with me because I'd asked those specialists instead of him. But finally came; he went and cut off a little branch, then he walked around for a while with his eyes shut; he stopped, he listened to something we couldn't hear and then he said to me: "Dig right here, there's enough water to get your whole flock drunk and drown your specialist besides." We dug and found water. Fine water that's never heard of pollution.The film people were ready; they called to me to take my place."I'm gonna show you something," said the farmer, keeping me back." You wait right here."He disappeared into a shack which he must have used to store things, then came back with a branch which he held out to me."I never throw nothing away; I kept the alder branch your father cut to find my water. I don't understand, it hasn't dried out."Moved as I touched the branch, kept out of I don't know what sense of piety—and which really wasn't dry—I had the feeling that my father was watching me over my shoulder; I closed my eyes and, standing above the spring my father had discovered, I waited for the branch to writhe, I hoped the sound of gushing water would rise to my ears.The alder stayed motionless in my hands and the water beneath the earth refused to sing.Somewhere along the roads I'd taken since the village of my childhood I had forgotten my father's knowledge."Don't feel sorry," said the man, thinking no doubt of his farm and his childhood; "nowadays fathers can't pass on anything to the next generation."And he took the alder branch from my hands.桤木树枝在我紧握的手指下扭动,如受惊的蛇一般。
・97・大学英语精读课教学中的语篇分析荆楚理工学院外国语学院朱家科[摘要]本文分析了大学英语精读课教学中存在的问题,论述了语篇分析与大学英语精读教学,对语篇分析在大学英语精读课教学中的实践进行了探索。
[关键词]语篇分析大学英语精读教学语篇是人们用语言系统进行交际的意义单位,是一种交际活动。
精读课语篇教学不但是对语篇的评估,而且更关键的是,要在实际教学中发展学生的英语交际能力。
目前大学英语精读课教学中传统的教学模式严重地影响和妨碍了学生分析和应用语言能力的提高和发展。
针对这种现状,教师应当把语篇分析应用于大学英语的教学。
一、大学英语精读课教学中存在的问题长期以来,国内非专业大学英语教学依然偏重语言形式和结构,相当一部分教师采取的仍是传统的精读教学法,即结合语言现象、语言难点、语法规则、翻译等语法式教学。
当然,这种方法有其特有的长处,能帮助学生掌握一定的语言表达方式,扫除语言障碍,打下一定的语言基础。
但是,我们应该注意的是,这种传统的教学以教师为中心、以语法为纲,只注重语言系统知识的讲授,忽视了交际能力的培养;只注重句子,忽视篇章;只注重质量,忽视了数量。
相当一部分学生错误地认为,上英语课只是认几个单词和语言点,对语篇的深入剖析毫无用处,只是浪费时间。
到头来,因没有足够的语言背景作依托,词汇也没有被真正掌握,语篇能力就更无从谈起。
这最终导致学生实际运用语言能力的低下。
二、语篇分析与大学英语精读教学语篇分析为大学英语教学提供了自上而下描述和理解语言的理论框架和实践途径。
语篇分析教学从语篇的整体出发,对文章进行理解、分析和评价。
它不仅重视语言形式,而且重视语言功能,同时还注重文章涉及的文化背景知识和相关知识。
语篇分析教学是与句子教学相对而言的,是句式教学的升华。
它是以获得语篇整体信息为目的的教学,其本质在于使教学的过程成为更符合学生习得语言能力的过程。
语篇教学要求学生课前进行准备,要求学生对文章中的词汇、语法等方面的基础知识自行解决并要求学生结合文章,探讨文章的中心思想,篇章结构、文章题材、写作手法及语言特色等方面的内容。
