刚入这个行业的时候,我感觉课堂用语是教学中最简单的事情,比起上课、备课、语法,课堂用语要简单得多。可是经过这十几年的教学,发现简单的课堂用语其实并不简单。诚然,每个英语老师都会说上那么几句,但是,表达的是否正确?学生是否听得懂?能不能顺利得将课堂进行下去?都是老师在课堂上不容忽视的问题。可以说,课堂用语既是每个老师的基本功,但也可能是某些老师的软肋。尤其是在上公开课的时候,就显得尤为重要。
今天我想跟大家分享一下我理解中的英语课堂用语。
一、课堂用语是什么?
课堂用语是组织课堂的语言。而语言是实现师生互动和课堂管理的工具。英语语言是丰富多彩的,适当的师生对话能更有利于课堂的展开,更容易让学生感受到语言的魅力,从而让学生们爱上这门课程。
在现在的英语教学中,在老师们的课堂用语方面,确实也存在很多的问题。有些老师汉语偏多,缺少最基本的课堂用语;有些老师课堂教学用语用词过大,不够通俗,大部分学生听不懂;有些课堂用语语病偏多,出现错词;有些老师用语罗嗦拉杂,前后过渡生硬,缺乏整体性;有些随意性大,时而中文,时而英文;有些是中式英语。
既然存在这么多这样那样的问题,那么我们每个老师就都应该端正态度,对自己严要求,在平时的课堂中重训练,不仅要扩大自己课堂用语的amount,还要提高课堂用语的quality. 练就出色的课堂用语。
二、课堂用语遵循什么原则?
在我看来,课堂用语首先要符合孩子的语言特征。每个阶段的孩子的语言特点也不一样,所以不可以一概而论。其次可用用示范代替繁琐的解释。我们老师经常会碰到这种问题,就是解释一个问题解释半天学生越听越糊涂,其实这个时候完全可以才是示范一下,通过示范学生可以很清晰地知道老师的要求是什么。
当然,除此以外,课堂用语还应遵循以下六个原则:
1. 阶段性。 由简单到难,循序渐进。
2. 贯穿性。连贯整个课堂。如果在课堂中,英语老师尽可能用英语来表达,而且变化多样,学生们也会慢慢地适应全英语教学的。并在这个潜移默化的过程中,逐渐培养出语感,有利于发展学生口语。最重要的是,这样也更有利于培养学生用英语思维和表达的习惯,对孩子们写作也是有帮助的。
3. 规范性。 正确的语音语调,简单明了,无错误。比如:Do you know what is it? Together read. 等等。
4. 激励性。用来鼓励学生。在现在课堂教学中,老师应以表扬和鼓励为主,用以呵护学生的自尊和自信。老师在说话中,要做到语气委婉。这样才能创论轻松和谐的气氛,减少学生的紧张情绪。同时尽量避免使用过多的贬义词和否定词。比如: foolish, stupid, wrong, too bad. I don't like your opinion.等等。
5. 引导性。引导孩子参与课堂活动。
6. 交际性。严要求,重训练。可对孩子做出一些要求,比如: 凡在学校,见到英语老师,用英语打招呼;凡在课堂,尽可能用英语表达;启发、鼓励学生之间相互提问和对话;Speak English if possible, speak Chinese if necessary.
三、课堂用语的分类。
