以读写教学培养学生人文素养的案例分析

“Cool”is a word with many meanings.Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold.As the world has changed,the word has had many different meanings.

“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street,maybe you will say“It's cool.”You may think,“He's so cool,”when you see your favorite footballer.

We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of“cool”.You can use it instead of many words such as“new”or“surprising”.Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited.On one student's paper was just the one sentence,“It's so cool”.Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words.Without“cool”,some people have no words to show the same meaning.So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word“cool”?I can.And I think they are also very cool.

(一)课堂简录

根据语篇内容,设计两个问题:第一个问题与理解相关,检测学生对文本的理解力,属reading comprehension训练;第二个问题属开放题,目的是促使学生了解,在语言表达中,要注重词汇及语言的积累,从而使自己的表达更有含义,更有文化底蕴。

Questions:

(1)What does the author want to show with the story in the third paragraph?

(2)Is there a word you often use to express many different meanings or feelings?

(二)阅读与人文素养培育

有这样一句话:“If sometimes you change your words,you are likely to change the world!”可见语言的强大,词汇的力量。英国语言大师D.A.Wilkins也曾经说过:Without grammar,little can be conveyed;without vocabulary,nothing can be conveyed.进一步向我们明确了词汇的地位与作用。

同时,从跨文化交际学的角度分析,语言中受文化影响最大的便是词汇。在关于英语词汇教学研究的文章中,文化因素或是以背景知识的形式作为影响词汇习得的因素一直被提及,还有语言研究者对跨文化交际和词汇教学的关系也有系统的论述。
