江苏省南京市金陵中学河西分校高中英语牛津版选修6《UNIT 1 LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR YOU》阅读教案设计（第1课时）.doc

1、高二（6）班英语模块六第一单元阅读第一课时教案设计Stand-Up For Your Health!金陵中学河西分校 朱桂春一、设计思想本课型为英语阅读教学，它的载体是一篇课文，而课文承担着多重功能，主要有以下几种：一、提供语境帮助学生学习词汇，扩大词汇量；二、提供使用语言的情景，巩固所学知识和技能；三、为训练阅读技巧提供平台；四、传播文化，发挥语篇的信息功能。其中，前三个为语言学习功能， 它们与文化信息功能相辅相成。一方面，文化信息为语言学习提供内容，学生在通过语篇认识世界，传承人类文化的时候，学得语言；另一方面，语言学习为文化的传播和信息的交流提供工具，从而发挥语言的交际功能，以利于学生通

2、过语言更好地认识世界。根据外语教学的特殊性，英语课文阅读教学应当以语言学习为主，即以课文的学习功能为主，这就意味着，学生要在理解课文，获取信息的基础上，来同化新的语言知识，提高语言技能。 因此，课文的理解致关重要。课文的理解主要由以下两个因素决定。 一是学习者的知识和技能，包括现有的英语语言能力和相关的世界知识，二是课文新知识点的量，尤其是生词的密度。学习者的语言能力越高，理解就越全面，越深刻，速度也越快，获取信息的能力就越强；而生词的密度越大，理解就越难，速度越慢，所需时间就越多，记忆负担也越重。因此，我们应根据以上两种因素，采取相应的教学模式。另外一点要强调的是师生在阅读教学中的角色。对于

3、一堂英语课文阅读课，学生是阅读的主体，教师主要角色是帮助者。教师的主要任务是通过组织语言活动，帮助学生正确理解课文的表层意义，在此基础上，发展学生的阅读技能（或称信息收集和加工能力），检测学生的理解程度，帮助学生巩固新的语言知识，尤其是生词。而学生要充分运用所学的语篇知识和相应的阅读技巧，收集和加工信息，完成相应的阅读任务，尤其是需要一定整合和概括能力的任务。在充分理解课文的基础上，学生要利用课文的信息，记忆新的语言知识，并尝试着运用新的语言知识，重新加工课文信息，最终能够自如地运用于交际中。分清了角色，教学活动就有了争对性。二、教材分析根据普通高中英语课程标准的描述，学生学完模块五，获得相应

4、学分后，英语水平就达到了七级要求，其中，七级阅读能力要求为：1）能从一般性文章中获取和处理主要信息；2）能理解文章主旨和作者意图；3）能通过上下文克服生词困难，理解语篇意义；4）能通过文章中的线索进行推理；5）能根据需要从网络的资源中获取信息；6）能阅读适合高中生的英语报刊或杂志；7）除教材外，课外阅读量应累计达到23万词以上。而模块六的第一单元上承七级水平，下启八级要求，这就意味着学生在完成七级水平任务的基础上，开始发展八级水平。普通高中英语课程标准对八级阅读能力的要求是：1）能识别不同文体的特征；2）能通过分析长句结构理解难句和长句；3）能理解阅读材料中不同的观点和态度；4）能根据学习任务

5、的需要从多媒体中获取信息并进行加工处理；5）能在教师的帮助下欣赏浅显的英语文学作品；6）除教材外，课外阅读量累计达到30万词以上。根据七级和八级要求，本单元课文教学至少要体现七级要求中的第1-4项和八级要求中的第1-3项。 整个课文分为三个部分，第一部分介绍了单口喜剧及类型，第二部分介绍美国著名喜剧演员Billy Crystal,第三部分说明了笑声有利于健康；每个部分都有小标题，有利于学生迅速找到所需信息。课文的字数为733个单词，其中生词为42个，生词密度为5.7%，且整个文章的词汇密度不大，因此除几个重要生词外，对文章主要信息的理解影响不大。但课文内容较长，生词的绝对量较大，对学生的记忆有

6、一定的挑战。课文的话题是stand-up(单口喜剧)，是本单元主题“笑声与健康”的重要组成部分，它为本单元后续的听说读写活动提供了素材，是单元教学中最重要的一块，同时它又是本模块主题“Making a better world” 的有机组成部分。另外，文章的体裁有所变化，总体上它是一篇说明文，但个中含有说明、叙述、议论，且板块分明，可以说是以往体例的集大成者，有利于学生全面运用各种语篇知识和阅读策略，有利于提高学生的阅读技能。上课时Welcome to the Unit为本课时提供了一定的背景知识和相关的词汇。三、学情分析高二（6）共有40个学生，现有的认知水平和能力可粗略分为A、B两个层次。

7、A层次学生能在不预习情况下，克服生词困难，较短时间内理解课文大意，且达到一定深度，具有较强的整合和概括能力，能较好地重组课文信息，流畅地表达出来，这样的学生约占40%。剩余的就为B 层次学生，这些学生词汇量较小，在应该掌握词汇的60%以下；就本课而言，估计有25个左右已学单词难以识别，加上新词42个，将有67个左右的生词给他们的阅读带来困难；同时，这些学生切分句子获取信息的能力也相对较弱，这就意味着他们要借助工具书、同学等资源，花费较长时间，才能理解课文的表层含义；他们主要借助翻译达到理解的目的，且整合信息的能力较弱。在上课时中学生已经学习了影响课文理解且在文中无法猜测的生词，这些生词有sta
