How I Taught Unit 1 of College English I in September, 2017
——以《全新版大學(xué)英語》教程為例

河西學(xué)院外國語學(xué)院 張富民

一、引言

大學(xué)英語是必修課，屬于通識教育課程，絕大多數(shù)的本?？粕家獙W(xué)習(xí)，西部地方本科院校的學(xué)生也要學(xué)習(xí)。河西學(xué)院2017級理工農(nóng)醫(yī)類本科生選用《全新版大學(xué)英語》教程，2017-2018學(xué)年第一學(xué)期學(xué)習(xí)這門課程。根據(jù)教學(xué)安排，本學(xué)期筆者擔(dān)任物理與機(jī)電工程學(xué)院電子171班，電子172班，電氣工程171班，電氣工程172班學(xué)生《大學(xué)英語I》授課老師。2017年9月上、中旬，我為四個班的學(xué)生講述了《大學(xué)英語I》綜合教程的Unit I和聽說教程的Unit 1-2這一部分。

二、教學(xué)資源

2017級新生的大學(xué)英語課是從第2周開始講授的，講授內(nèi)容包括綜合教程Unit 1，聽說教程Unit 1-2，以及閱讀教程1這三部分。除此之外，學(xué)生手中還有《語法手冊》。除了課本之外，信息化環(huán)境下教育資源的合理選取與利用也格外重要。所以，結(jié)合2015級學(xué)生的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗，我向?qū)W生推薦了這幾個教學(xué)平臺：（1）批改網(wǎng)——訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的寫作、翻譯能力和四級考試備考能力；（2）英語點津——訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的英語聽力理解能力；（3）九教實訓(xùn)樓506自主學(xué)習(xí)教室——學(xué)生配合與教材配套的教學(xué)資源開展自主學(xué)習(xí)。在課堂上，《大學(xué)英語I》這門課主要使用《綜合教程》和《聽說教程》，學(xué)生課下自行閱讀《閱讀教程》，并把《語法手冊》作為參考書配合使用。另外，為了構(gòu)建英語課堂教學(xué)氛圍，本學(xué)期督促自己努力用英語授課。以上所述就是《大學(xué)英語I》最主要的教學(xué)資源。

三、教學(xué)內(nèi)容

第2-3周的教學(xué)內(nèi)容包括讀寫教程Unit 1和聽說教程Unit 1-2,其中讀寫教程Unit 1授課3大節(jié)，6個學(xué)時，聽說教程Unit 1-2授課1大節(jié)，用2個學(xué)時。具體如下：

四、教學(xué)策略

上述內(nèi)容教學(xué)過程中主要采取以下教學(xué)策略：

1.傾向于使用產(chǎn)出導(dǎo)向教學(xué)法。能力為主是大學(xué)英語教學(xué)的重點，即大學(xué)英語教學(xué)的重點是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生聽、說、讀、寫、譯的能力和思辨能力。所以，教學(xué)當(dāng)中要設(shè)計和開展許多有利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生上述能力的活動，以教師為主導(dǎo)，把學(xué)生作為學(xué)習(xí)的主體，為學(xué)生搭設(shè)和鋪設(shè)學(xué)習(xí)支架，促使學(xué)生主動、積極參與各種教學(xué)活動，有步驟有目的的培養(yǎng)自身各方面的語言運(yùn)用能力。同時，教師通過自身對某一現(xiàn)象和話題的理解，向?qū)W生講授與之相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生培養(yǎng)思辨能力。

2. 積極大力加強(qiáng)英語輸入，構(gòu)建英語課堂教學(xué)環(huán)境，把學(xué)生浸入在英語氛圍中，促使學(xué)生有更多的機(jī)會學(xué)習(xí)英語，包括聽說和讀寫能力的培養(yǎng)。

3. 優(yōu)化教學(xué)設(shè)計，合理鋪設(shè)支架，幫助學(xué)生釋疑解惑。

4. 課堂教學(xué)活動和話語有明確的教學(xué)目的和能力培養(yǎng)傾向，旨在提升課堂教學(xué)效益和提升教學(xué)品味。

5. 注重引導(dǎo)和啟發(fā)，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)活動，啟發(fā)學(xué)生思考和學(xué)習(xí)。

6. 努力凸顯自身教學(xué)風(fēng)格和特色，把技能培養(yǎng)和知識傳授有機(jī)結(jié)合。

As far as Listen and Speaking is concerned, the main method I adopt is to inspire, to help and to lead them into practice of the skills of speaking and listening while I check up their comprehension of the exercise and encourage them to learn it or guide them to learn it. No matter what it is, the learning and teaching of Focus Listening and Speaking is quite different from that of Integrated course.

六、教學(xué)反思

良好的開端是成功的一半。所以，大學(xué)英語課程能否成功的關(guān)鍵在于教師如何理解和設(shè)計這門課程的教學(xué)。在以往教學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)上，反思其中的不足，本學(xué)期，我把教學(xué)的重點放在了學(xué)生英語語言應(yīng)用能力的培養(yǎng)上，同時鞏固學(xué)生熱愛英語學(xué)習(xí)的興趣，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對語言的深度認(rèn)知能力。譬如，課堂教學(xué)中的許多經(jīng)典的例子，勿用手機(jī)、當(dāng)頭棒喝、循序漸進(jìn)、知難而進(jìn)、積極參與、語用語域、習(xí)習(xí)相傳、SCI、外文文獻(xiàn)獲取能力、學(xué)與不學(xué)、事半功倍等。所以，好的老師應(yīng)當(dāng)注意把教書與育人有機(jī)結(jié)合，在吸取好的經(jīng)驗、總結(jié)好的經(jīng)驗、反思差的教訓(xùn)的基礎(chǔ)上，百尺竿頭更進(jìn)一步，更上一層樓，成為每堂課都能講的好的一名大學(xué)英語老師。其中，英語浸入法、討論法、啟發(fā)式、參與式、略讀、尋讀、細(xì)讀、泛讀等能力以及應(yīng)試能力都得到了培養(yǎng)。
