英语课文任务型教学模式例说

       《英语课程标准》倡导任务型教学模式，要求教师应避免单纯传授语言知识的教学方法，尽量采用“任务型”教学途径。采用“任务型”课文教学法，学生从一开始就处于主体地位，在教师的指导下学会思考，学会发现，从而逐渐培养自主学习、自我发现的能力和大胆尝试、勇于探索的精神。
        下面笔者以必修I Unit 3为例，对任务型教学模式的运用作简单的探讨和分析。
        Step 1 Leading in and warming up
        开展生动活泼的读前活动，其目的是激发学生阅读前的兴趣和求知欲，并使其初步感知课文内容，为正式阅读作准备。行之有效的方法之一是利用插图，通过问问题、讨论的形式和言简意赅、提纲挈领的导语，逐步引入本课的话题。也可根据课文的类型特点，向学生介绍与课文话题相关的背景知识和内容，让学生对将要阅读的内容有一个总体印象，激发学生的阅读欲望，为下一步带着问题快读和掌握阅读技巧铺路。
        Task 1: With the development of modern society and economy, travelling is getting more and more popular with people. As we all know, travelling is a fun way to gain life experience, especially in summer holidays. Where have you ever been before? How did you get there? If you are given a chance to travel around the world, what kind of transportations will you choose and why? What will you take along? Now look at the following pictures and discuss them in pairs. The following may help you: enjoy beautiful scenery, enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizons, make friends, be good to health. (give students time to talk freely)
Step 2 pre-reading
        通过Pre-reading，让学生了解有关湄公河的知识，为学习课文打下基础。 
        T: Have you visited the Mekong River? If not. Let’s learn something about it. 
        Show a picture of the Mekong River and the brief introduction of it. Ask them to point out the countries it flows through. At the same time, let them enjoy the beautiful sights along the Mekong River to arouse their interest in it.
        Step 3 Fast-reading
        学生快速阅读全文，理清文章脉络，了解课文大意，明确文章的主题思想。这一过程旨在培养学生快速阅读技巧和获取文章整体信息的能力。阅读前教师要先向学生提出问题，让学生带着问题阅读。

        Step 4 Detail-reading
        这一步主要是引导学生逐段仔细阅读课文，了解课文的主要情节和信息，培养学生把握文章事实细节的能力以及对文章的深层理解。
        Task 3: Read the text again carefully and get the answers to Ex. One on page 19.
        Task4: We have got the general meaning of the passage and we know Wang Wei and Wang Kun have some similar and different attitudes about the trip. You may have a short discussion with your partners and finish Ex 3 on page 19.
        Step 5 Language focus
        该阶段帮助学生疏通疑难，对一些新词、词组、句型结构、惯用法、语法现象等语言障碍进行排除，旨在巩固所学语言的难点和重点，发展学生用英语解决问题的能力。
        任务型教学模式是语言教学的有效途径，因此，需要教师在教学中积极探索，大胆实践。更重要的是，教师要根据阅读教学的目的和需求，针对学生的整体水平，精心设计一系列由浅入深、由易到难且形式多样的阅读任务，也可充分利用课本上的习题，使不同程度的学生都能在教师的引导下自读自练，并从中体验成功的乐趣。
