建构主义学习理论认为,学习不是简单的信息积累,更重要的是包含新旧知识经验的冲突。以及由此而引发的认知结构的***。“联系”与“思考”是意义构建的关键。小学英语句型教学应培养学生通过对知识的主动探索和发现来建构所学知识的意义。
《牛津小学英语》教材的编写采用循环式编排方式。以时间表达的句型为例,这套教材在3B、4A、5B的教材中先后三次在相关单元安排了时间表达的不同句型,体现了“循序渐进、逐步扩展、综合复现”的原则。有一位教师在教学5B第七单元“A busy day时安排了4个教学步骤:1 教师出示教具钟。T:What’s the time?(旧知S1:It’s three o’clock,(旧知2 教师将时间拨到3:30。T:What time is it?(新知S2:It’s three thirty,(旧知3 学习新句型后,教师让学生向教师提问。S3:What time is it?(刚学的新知T:n’s halfpast three,(新知4 教师出示新旧句型,让学生读一读,比一比,想一想,说一说。
这种根据教材内容的编排特点,帮助学生实现由旧知向新知的迁移的教学方法,既突出了知识的连贯性和整体性的教学,从客观上降低了学生理解新知的难度,又有利于学生循序渐进地建构新知。
Dear teacher,
We'll have a class meeting this afternoon. All of us students hope that you can attend it. Please accept our sincere invitation.
In the class meeting, we will make some plans about all the subjects, including English. We do have some puzzles and we need your help. So we hope you can set some time aside to be with us in the class meeting. We will feel honored if you can come to attend our class meeting.
Looking forward to your coming.

在语篇教学的推进过程中。需要建构的,不仅仅是学生,更需要教师的主动建构。
首先,教师新的角色意识的转换。在语篇教学的过程中,教师不仅应该是教会学生语篇的人,更应该是引导学生经历语篇学习过程的组织者、促进者。只有教师完成这种角色的转换,才能在语篇教学中思考:在学习该语篇之前。学生已经具备了什么?还需要通过学习获得什么?在此过程中我可以为他们做些什么?学生还需要哪些资源?他们有多少自主学习的空间?等等。经历了这样的思考,我们的语篇教学才会真正注重学生英语能力的培养。注重学生的英语学习能力和学习习惯的培养。
“书读百遍,其义自见”,只有这种解读和理解才能使得我们对教材的使用成为建立在每一个不同教师原有教学经验之上的内化和建构,才能真正用出“精彩”。
在当前的语篇教学中,我们往往把注意力过多放在新单词、新句式的教授上,一节课常常顾此失彼。教学目标不能达成。我在进行语篇教学的过程中,比较关注对学生学习策略的引导。譬如,在引入一篇对话或短文时,教学生抓住全文的关键信息:如果采用听的方式,我会教给学生速记的方法;如果采用阅读的形式,我会关注学生扫读的技巧。在引导学生学习一篇文章的过程中,我会注意引导学生学会根据上下文去猜测某些新单词的意义。而在对一篇对话或短文进行归纳总结的时候,引导学生学会抓住关键词作为提示可以提高学生学习的效率。我认为,在语篇教学过程中,我们为学生解决的,应该不仅仅是语言知识的积累,更重要的是学习方法的指导、学习习惯的养成,好的学习方法和习惯会让孩子们获益终生。
在语篇教学过程中,我常采用这样三个环节:1 导——设置话题,着力于激活与本语篇相关的背景知识,为学生提供建构的基础与可能,同时进行新单词新句式的适当铺垫(铺垫那些会对语篇学习形成较大障碍的内容;2 听/读——根据技能训练的不同要求,以听或读的方式为学生提供能够独立接触语篇的机会,让学生对语篇获得一个整体的、自己的感知。在此基础上,对文本进行进一步的处理,引导学生借助对文本的听或读获得信息、整理信息、转述信息,同时不断验证老师提供的学习策略或学习方法,使之逐步成为学生自己的学习经验;3 练——设置任务型的语言活动,以交流互动、有效合作等方式为学生提供语言建构的情境和机会,促进学生语言运用能力的养成。
dear teacher ,
i am writing to you to express my thanks for your help in learning english and speaking english.
during these days in your class, i have learned much from you and it is very helpful to me. firstly, you let me know what is the west thinking pattern—straight thinking pattern. and, i think, it is very important to understand the west’s thoughts. as you know, this can help me with my examination and interaction with foreigners. secondly, i have got enough confidence in speaking in english from your class and it took me a long time to gain this confidence. now, i always express my ideas in english as possible as i can. it’s great to do that. the last not the least, i find that learning english is not an boring thing as before and i’m interested in studying english which was just a necessary task to pass examinations. reading, listening or speaking all become interesting and i really enjoy it.
above all, i want to say thanks again to you. and thank you for your time.
good luck ^_^
Dear Miss Brown,
I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for caring me in the last two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering, I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep going.
Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere appreciation. Best wishes for you.
