“Brainstorming”这种外语教学中常用的教学技巧可以直译为“头脑风暴法”,是一种通过小型会议的组织形式,让所有参加者在自由,愉快, 畅所欲言的气氛中自由交换观点,并以此诱发集体智慧,激发学习者创意与灵感的学习方法,头脑风暴的特点是让参与者敞开思想,使各种设想在相互碰撞中激起脑海中的创造性风暴。此刻,正值期末复习,随着中考的临近,学生的精神压力也越来越大,身心疲劳。面对英语复习中的单词,短语,句子记忆,语法讲解,学生毫无兴趣。作为老师,我们怎样让学生轻松的复习原本枯燥无趣的旧知识,让他们的头脑“风暴”起来呢?
为此,我在课堂教学的实践中,大胆的尝试了“Brainstorming”这种教学技巧。
那节课上,我没有和往常一样直接领着学生开篇就复习,而是灵机一动,英语新课程标准不是强调把课堂还给学生吗?现在我何不“偷”一回懒,让学生成为课堂的真正主人,大家一起来 “Brainstorming”呢?于是,我在大屏幕上就打了一个单词 fitness,说:“新授module10时,老师把单词短语基本句型以及重难点都已经解析过了,今天,就看看你们掌握的怎样,由你们当老师,咱们换换角色吧! ”一堂师生角色互换,别具一格的英语复习课拉开了帷幕!
Teacher: As we know, fitness plays an important role in our daily life. Can you think of something about fitness or health?
Student A: To keep fit, we should go running ,go swimming, do weight training or some other sports.
Student B: After doing some exercise, our arms or legs will ache a bit or so much sometimes.
Student C: We should not only do exercise but also pay attention to our diet, so try to eat healthy food.
Student D: No , I don’t agree, because our lunch at school doesn’t taste good, I refuse to eat. I prefer junk food, because it’s tasty.
Student E: To be healthy , we should also sleep well……
同学们一下子兴奋起来,对于健康各抒己见,我不断的表扬同学们的机敏和聪慧,不时的参与着他们的讨论话题,体验着,快乐着,课堂氛围相当活跃……当同学们几乎把第十模块的所有单词,短语和句子都呈现之后,我给每个组发了一张纸,提供一个展示他们小组合作实力的机会!并要求他们的组员进行充分系统的归纳总结,区分和辨析,为了体现公平性,分组时我遵循着“组间同质,组内异质”的分工原则。同学们的创造性是很让我慨叹的,以下是利用“思维导图”把单词和短语进行分类归纳的最优秀的课堂作品:
Words and phrases
(1) fitness, fit, fitter, fittest, unfit
health, healthy, healthier, healthiest, unhealthy, healthily
(2) ache, headache , toothache, backache, somachache
(3) interest, interested, interesting
(4) do/ take a lot of exercise
do morning exercises, do eye exercises, exercise your mind
(5) interest sb; show a /much/no/ interest in……, a place of interest, be interested in ……
(6) do weight training , weight lifting , lose weight , put on weight
(其中的划线部分,是在展示过程中,其他组合老师加以补充的)
这样,老师给学生提供了广阔的空间和时间,营造了动态的交流场面,引发了学生群体的思维碰撞,在不断的碰撞中擦出了快乐的火花。在让学生进行语言输出的同时,也让学生有模有样的当了回小老师,过了把“老师”瘾。可见,学生的素质是可挖掘的,潜能是可以开发的,学生得到鼓励的同时,老师也真正体会到了成功的快乐!
如果说对基础知识的把握是相对容易的,那么,次日的语法复习课上,同学们的表现更是让我刮目相看。围绕低语从句关系代词“whose”进行“Brainstorming”。首先,我用“whose”描述了Jamie Oliver: I have known a friend whose English is very excellent. He is a man whose cooking is good. Maybe he is a cook whose ideas are changing the school dinners all over Britain. Guess who he is? 我在黑板的一侧写下了 “whose”. Can you describe somebady or something with “whose” , especially Miss Zhang? 学生们都上下打量着我,几个活泼的学生的思维一下子开阔起来,争先恐后的描述他们眼中的“我”。下面是同学们对我的描述的精彩句子:
(1) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose classes are always interesting.
(2) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose husband is handsome.
(3) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose eyes are big and beautiful
(4) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose jeans are in fashoin now.
(5) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose son is cute.
(6) Miss Zhang is a teacher whose health habit is serious, because she doesn’t like drinking water or doing any sports……
在这个环节中,学生踊跃的表达他们心中的“我”的形象,课堂很轻松,似乎没有体现出语法学习的枯燥和乏味,“我”也积极迎合着他们的表扬和赞美,对同学们的表现及时的鼓励和肯定,老师和学生一样饱含激情,享受着学习的快乐。这样一来,老师不再是复习课堂上一味的对旧知识的重复着,而是转换成了学生学习的伙伴和引导者,在老师的参与下,学生学得更有兴致了,课堂愈加丰富生动,积极有效。
几次教学比较下来,我深切的感受到,有效的课堂必须是情感的课堂,必须是师生情感相互感染,相互碰撞的课堂。教师充满亲和力的微笑,幽默风趣的语言,清晰激昂的声音,流畅欢快的语调,必定能带动大部分学生的学习情绪。如果说课堂是一道菜,激情便是其中不可或缺的一味调料,它让原本平淡的课堂变得让人回味无穷。
作为一名在一线工作的年轻英语老师,我的肩头担负着初中英语教育阶段沉重而又艰巨的教学任务。然而,正因为我年轻,我便更有激情。我要带着我的激情走进课堂,带着智慧开启学生的心灵,同时点燃学生的激情,激励自己也鼓励学生“ Nothing is impossible”!我迫切的期待着我的英语课堂能迸发出更多的激情碰撞的火花!
