高中英語研討會(huì)發(fā)言材料：關(guān)于校本教研選取美文選讀的幾點(diǎn)思考

1、 關(guān)于校本教研選取美文選讀的幾點(diǎn)思考尊敬的各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、老師們，下午好。今天我要講的主題是關(guān)于選修課的，我相信在座的老師中有些可能早已在本校開設(shè)了選修課，有許多好的想法與做法，也已經(jīng)在這方面積累了豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，所以我今天真的是班門弄斧了。我們學(xué)校雖然說生源比較差，但對(duì)校本這一塊一直是非常重視，經(jīng)常請(qǐng)兄弟學(xué)校的老師和專家來給我們做相關(guān)的講座。上學(xué)期開始落實(shí)研發(fā)工作，但是還沒有真正起步，所以我今天在這里只是和大家分享一些我的粗見和不成熟的想法，沒有什么經(jīng)驗(yàn)之談，不到之處還請(qǐng)多多指正。下面我主要講兩塊內(nèi)容：一是我為什么選擇美文選讀；第二是和大家分享我的選修課程的初步設(shè)計(jì)，歡迎大家拍磚。我所選取的選修課的方

2、向是美文選讀。選擇這個(gè)角度，主要是出于以下兩方面的因素：首先，是基于我個(gè)人的閱讀體驗(yàn)。概括來講是：一句話和一本書。出于職業(yè)需要，我平時(shí)看的比較多的是教學(xué)類的期刊，同行和專家們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)總結(jié)和建議經(jīng)常能給我的教學(xué)指點(diǎn)迷津，開拓我的視野，給我?guī)韱⒌?。但是，有一天一位同行的話使我改變了我的閱讀習(xí)慣，她說：教師的閱讀，不在于成就教師的技巧，更在于成就教師的內(nèi)心，轉(zhuǎn)化成成就學(xué)生的力。而正是出于為對(duì)這句話的認(rèn)同，我開始嘗試廣泛地閱讀。其中，讓我深刻體會(huì)到閱讀對(duì)人的影響的是始于一本小說：the alchemist,翻譯成中文叫煉金術(shù)士或牧羊少年歷險(xiǎn)記。說來慚愧，自從參加工作以后，這應(yīng)該是我看的第一本原版小說。

3、這本書激發(fā)了我看原版書的熱情，因?yàn)槲野l(fā)現(xiàn)我居然還能看懂。另外，我再給大家推薦mitch albon的have a little faith和tuesdays with morrie兩本書，non-fiction，two true stories, but they can really touch your heart。我繞這么大一圈子，其實(shí)是想說通過這樣的閱讀，我收獲的不僅僅是語言層面的東西，更重要的是它們帶給我內(nèi)心的感動(dòng)和思考，并重新審視自己的職業(yè)和人生。通過這件事，我開始思考這樣一個(gè)問題：既然閱讀這樣的文字可以感動(dòng)我改變我，那不是也可以通過這樣的方式去影響我的學(xué)生嗎？在學(xué)習(xí)外語的同時(shí)，他

4、們還可以通過文本體驗(yàn)到真實(shí)的語言和真實(shí)的情感，這不是一件兩全其美的事嗎？所以，當(dāng)學(xué)校要求每個(gè)老師開設(shè)選修課的時(shí)候，我覺得這是一個(gè)可以實(shí)踐我教育理想的好機(jī)會(huì)?？紤]到閱讀原著對(duì)我們的學(xué)生而言不切實(shí)際，因此我選擇用篇幅適中、難度適宜的美文來代替，作為選修的文本。其次，選擇美文選讀，也是想嘗試給現(xiàn)行的教材做一個(gè)合理的補(bǔ)充。教材毫無疑問凝聚了專家學(xué)者的智慧，但教材也是編寫者根據(jù)特定的教學(xué)目標(biāo)編制而成，往往使用規(guī)范的語言，并且有目的地包含和突出部分詞匯和語法，因此必然在選材上存在一定的局限性。閱讀文章缺乏經(jīng)典性和趣味性也是一個(gè)比較突出的問題。有些文章蘊(yùn)含的思想性比較空洞，斧鑿之痕明顯。外語教育名家章振邦先

5、生回憶自己的英語學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)有這么一段話：當(dāng)時(shí)用的是林語堂編寫的開明英文讀本。這部教材我認(rèn)為是當(dāng)時(shí)編的最好的，也是我從中得益最大的中學(xué)英語讀本，它有以下幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)給我印象最深：一是語言材料豐富，每篇課文能保證有一定的長度，語言地道、生動(dòng)活潑，有個(gè)讀頭，不像現(xiàn)在有些中學(xué)課本，語言材料單薄，寫得不生動(dòng)，干巴巴的，讀來乏味。二是課文內(nèi)容貼近生活，容易讀，容易懂，容易上口，學(xué)了就能用。三是趣味性，書中編入了一些膾炙人口的神話故事，這些故事多為英國文學(xué)中常見典故的來源，經(jīng)林先生用生動(dòng)的當(dāng)代英語一改寫便栩栩如生，躍然紙上，讀來興味油然。由此可見，如果我們選擇語言地道而又意味雋永的文本，學(xué)生必然對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語產(chǎn)生興趣

6、，在豐富自己內(nèi)心的同時(shí)繼而提高語言能力。那么什么樣的英語文章是美文呢？我的理解是：凡是文字優(yōu)美，耐人尋味，能激發(fā)讀者思考、引起思想和情感上共鳴的，能提升人文素養(yǎng)的文章，不拘體裁，都是美文。因?yàn)橥ㄟ^這樣的文字，我們學(xué)到的不僅僅是知識(shí)，更重要的是智慧。基于以上原則，我選取了不同體裁的文章作為選修課的素材，有詩歌、散文和演講等。同時(shí)在文章的長度、難度和深度上也進(jìn)行了考量，盡量適合本校學(xué)生所處的語言水平，又稍稍帶有一點(diǎn)挑戰(zhàn)性。課程設(shè)計(jì)初步擬定如下： parti poems第一周 unit1 love 第二周 unit2 life第三周 unit3 friendship第四周 unit4 scenery
