在最近的高中英語課堂教學聽課活動中，有不少教師把自己要問學生的每一個問題（無論難易）都做成課件，上課點鼠標，讓學生按教師課前預先設(shè)置好的問題進行回答，而不是按照課堂上各種情況不斷出現(xiàn)適時巧設(shè)問題進行問答。結(jié)果這種人機對話造成了課堂氣氛沉悶、師生間問答缺乏真情實感、缺乏真摯的思想碰撞和交融的局面。師生問答顯得冰冷、書面化、呆板不靈活及學生被動情況的出現(xiàn)。加之問題不能貼近學生日常實際生活，學生對教師所問相關(guān)問題又缺乏生活體驗，造成學生回答問題有困難或不愿回答教師的提問并直接作出否定回答?；谏鲜銮闆r的出現(xiàn)，我在處理人教版高中英語選修6第三單元A healthy life中Warming up時，摒棄了不少教師的習慣做法，不用課件，與學生進行直接、平等、民主、自然和隨意的對話交流，即使學生對我的設(shè)問給予否定回答，我依然順勢發(fā)問，改變問題方向，使師生問答繼續(xù)深入下去，確保了設(shè)問的有效性，使Warming up真正收到了實效。師生間的問答是這樣展開的：

T:Let’s come to the reading of Unit 3.

在教師與學生之間展開問答時，學生對教師的提問有兩次給予了否定回答，如果此時教師讓學生坐下，那么問題對這兩個學生來講一定是無效的，原因是兩個學生此時無問題體驗，不好回答。為了使師生之間的交流得以繼續(xù)，教師很快調(diào)整了問題方向，變無效問題為有效問題，且問題與學生密切相關(guān)，從而將師生間的對話繼續(xù)順利深入進行下去，以達到為學生進入閱讀部分學習熱身的目的。因此，課堂教學有效性和學生學習的主體性得以展現(xiàn)出來。從案例可以看出，教師課堂教學的有效性反映在教師問題設(shè)置的有效性上，如果教師把課堂上要問學生的問題都放在課件上，并按預先設(shè)置好的程序提問，會對給予否定回答的學生課前未作出預測，在上課時突然出現(xiàn)這種情形，會使教師感到束手無策，預先設(shè)置好的程序被打亂，師生間的對話一時無法進行，或者教師干脆讓否定回答的學生坐下，另叫其他學生回答。教師這樣做會使作出否定回答的學生失去回答的機會，會使他們的思維得不到激活，久而久之這些學生得不到練習說的機會，就很難張口說，學習的主動性就不能發(fā)揮不出來。學生學習的主動性往往又取決于他們思維是否得到啟發(fā)，是否被激活。當教師設(shè)問被學生否定時，正是教學有效性潛藏的時刻，正是考驗教師把握并挖掘出有效問題的時刻，也正是考驗教師應變能力，為教師轉(zhuǎn)換問題角度提供最佳時機的時刻，同時也考驗教師如何將無效問題向有效問題轉(zhuǎn)化，對教師既是挑戰(zhàn)，也為教師創(chuàng)造了一次絕好的應變鍛煉機會，如果教師經(jīng)常抓住并能運用這種良機，不錯過，不放棄，教師的教學智慧、教學的有效性和實效性定會逐步提高。
