專家點評

鮑當洪老師執(zhí)教的 A Telephone Call是一節(jié)真實、自然、生動、有趣的小學英語課。該課教學目的明確，教學過程 有序，教學活動設計合理，教學各環(huán)節(jié)過渡自然，學生思維活躍。這節(jié)課在組織和設計上主要有以下特點：

1.注重學生的主體地位，實現(xiàn)了教師角色的轉(zhuǎn)變。

執(zhí)教教師從學生的興趣出發(fā)，通過創(chuàng)設情景，示范教學內(nèi)容，啟發(fā)學生的思維，組織學生實踐，培養(yǎng)學生的語言交際能力。教師在整個教學活動中成功地扮演了多個角色。首先，他是一個示范者，他為學生展示語言結(jié)構(gòu)、意義和語言運用的情景；同時他又是一個啟發(fā)者，啟發(fā)學生思考，引導學生想象；其次，他還是一個情景的設計者和學習的指導者，他通過多媒體課件展現(xiàn)生動、逼真的交際情景，幫助和引導學生在語境中理解語言的結(jié)構(gòu)和意義；此外，他更是一名課堂活動的組織者、學生學習的激勵者和促進者，他通過玩具小電話、身體語言設計情景，組織學生開展游戲和兩人小組活動，給學生提供模仿、體驗、實踐和創(chuàng)造性運用語言的機會，并在活動中適時地鼓勵和表揚學生，保護學生的自信心和學習的積極性，使學生學有所獲。

2.注重把語言結(jié)構(gòu)和語言功能有機結(jié)合，實現(xiàn)了從知識到能力的轉(zhuǎn)變。

本課教學內(nèi)容涉及關(guān)于打電話的表達方式，執(zhí)教教師能夠注意處理好結(jié)構(gòu)與功能的關(guān)系，將語言結(jié)構(gòu)的學習融于模擬的交際情景之中。教師在教學的設計上采用分解難點、分步呈現(xiàn)、逐步擴展、層層深入的方式，注重示范質(zhì)量，保證學生對語言意義的正確理解，通過各種模仿和操練活動，使學生掌握新的語言形式。例如，教師運用多媒體創(chuàng)設了不同的生活情景，讓學生兩人一組選擇其中的一種，并運用所學語言進行模擬交際，促進了知識向能力的轉(zhuǎn)化。

3.注重教學內(nèi)容與學生的生活經(jīng)驗相結(jié)合，實現(xiàn)了學以致用的教學目標 。

鮑老師通過創(chuàng)設情景，將學習內(nèi)容與學生的實際生活相結(jié)合，使學生身臨其境，從而達到了學以致用的目的。例如，他在給某個學生打電話之前，先用英語了解學生家的電話號碼,然后撥號給該學生打電話，讓學生感到真實和親切。同時，他設置的三個情景：約同學踢足球，約同學看望老師，約同學參加生日晚會，也都反映了學生的實際生活。追求語音、語調(diào)自然，教態(tài)親切、大方，風格友善和幽默也是鮑老師教學成功的重要因素。當然，本節(jié)課還有改進的余地，例如，在學生兩人小組活動中，教師對學生角色的描述不夠明確，使得學生對話中的一些語言顯得不夠得體。此外，讓學生向現(xiàn)場聽課的老師詢問電話號碼時，應該適時教給學生使用得體的語言，以避免學生在特定的場合出現(xiàn)使用不得體的問話方式。
