With all the media attention and sponsorship possibilities,Michael's life would never be the same again.Itwasn't just because he won the National Junior Olympics andset a new world record.And it wasn't because he had just in-creased his personal best by 91/2 inches.It was simply be-cause Michael Stone is blind。但如果单纯停留在让学生记忆的基础上,则失之枯燥呆板。因此,教师截取了本段中重要的表达法,如with…possi-bilities,it wasn't because…,it was simply because…,引入了真实发生的事件,请学生模仿课文段落,翻译下文“随着公众质疑以及可能随之而来的各种采访,他的生活肯定也会不同以往。这不仅是因为他四年前获得了雅典奥运会冠军,且是近年来中国唯一的世界田径冠军,也不是因为他曾是世界纪录的保持者,而是因为他在数十亿观众面前在主场退出了比赛”。借助已有知识图式,学生可以较为轻松地将该段译为 “With all the publicsuspicion and interview possibilities,his life would never bethe same again.It wasn't just because he won the AthensOlympics four years ago and became the only world championin track and field for China.And it wasn't because he had setthe world record.It was simply because he was sidelined athome in front of billions of spectators”。如此,学生获得了操练所学单词(如suspicion,interview,champion,track and field,etc.)和短语的机会,也依托课本所提供的语法框架,能准确流畅地描述评价曾经真实发生的重大事件。 3.2网络教学环境中自主学习过程中时事内容的导入网络教学环境是教学改革中的新生事物,可提供丰富生动的文字、声音、图像信息,是培养学生自主学习能力的最佳平台,也是学生搜集时事内容相关资料,特别是口语课所需语言材料的重要途径。语言是一种社会文化现象,是社会文化发展的产物。任何语言的生存发展都离不开其赖以生长的社会文化环境(白靖宇,2017:3)。教师应从文化视角出发,一边确定口语课主题,一边进行资料搜集,以确认选材的可行性和可操作性。教师应多方搜集相关多媒体材料,尽可能为学生提供跨文化思考的方位和角度,以达到对课堂的自如掌控和引导,也让学生感到能从课堂有所收获。在教师确定口语课主题后,学生需自主完成资料搜集与整理的工作。自主学习能力autonomous learning被Holec定义为“the ability to take charge of one's own learning”(Gardner&Miller,2017:6)。学生需借助网络课自主学习时间,或课外自行到图书馆翻阅报纸、杂志、工具书,或上网获取相关词汇、内容线索,并利用已有精读课中积累的语法及词汇 |
