在“Stand-up for your health!”中贯彻启发式教学原则
在“Stand-up for your health!”中贯彻启发式教学原则发表时间：2011-01-14T17:02:51.373Z 来源：《中学课程辅导·教学研究》2011年第2期供稿作者：王美[导读] 模像直观是运用各种手段对实物的模拟，包括图片、图表、模型、幻灯、录音、录像、电影、电视等摘要：在现代教学中，启发式教学能极大地调动学生的求知欲。
学生能力的提高，关键是教师是否认真研究学生学习英语的规律，探索各种有效的教学途径。
关键词：启发式教学；教师；学生作者简介：王美，任教于安徽省芜湖县一中。
启发式教学是“教师充分调动学生学习的积极性和主动性，遵循教学的客观规律，以高超精湛的技艺适时而巧妙地启迪诱导学生的学习活动，帮助他们学会动脑思考和语言表达，生动活泼、轻松愉快地获得发展的教学模式”。
它是当前教育界所广泛使用的一种教学模式。
新时代背景下的教育者,掌握启发式教学的各种形式和方法是必须的,谙熟启发式教学过程中所应遵循的原则更是必要的。
在中国，“启发”一词,源于古代教育家孔丘的“不愤不启，不悱不发”。
朱熹解释说：“愤者，心求通而未得之意；悱者,口欲言而未能之貌；启，谓开其意；发，谓达其辞。
”孔子以后，《学记》的作者提出“道而弗牵，强而弗抑，开而弗达”，进一步阐发了启发式教学的思想，主张启发学生，引导学生，但不硬牵着他们走；严格要求学生，但不施加压力；指明学习的路径，但不代替他们达成结论。
采取启发式教学的根本目的是为了更好地发挥教师的主导作用、学生的主体作用，从而充分调动教学中各种因素发挥积极作用，提高教学质量，使课堂教学过程取得最优化的效果。
而有效的阅读活动是培养个性，发展智力的活动，阅读是一个综合运用语言知识的过程，是一个充满了积极思维活动的过程，也是一种创造性实践。
那么，如何在英语阅读教学中贯彻启发性教学原则，以最少的教学时间和精力，取得最佳的教学效果呢？一、直观手段呈现学生熟悉的旧知识1．实物直观实物直观是通过实物进行的，直接将对象呈现在学生面前，在学习生活中比较生疏的内容时，实物直观能够最为真实有效和充分地为学生提供理解、掌握所必需的感性经验。
高中英语Unit 1 Stand up for your health说课稿
高中英语Unit 1 Stand up for your health说课稿Good morning, my dear judges. I'm the No.3 candidate. It’s my great honor to have this opportunity to share my teaching design with you. The lesson I’m going to talk about is “Stand up for your health”This is a reading class.Firstly, let’s come to the analysis of teaching material. The topic of this lesson is about “comedy”. This lesson is from the reading part , Unit 1 of senior high school English. After learning this passage, students will know about the stand-up and laugh can help you keep healthy. Also, students can use the target language and useful phrases properly. Meanwhile, encourage students to use the scanning, skimming and mind map strategies, which can help them have a better understanding of this text and form a good habit of reading.Secondly, students are the subject of our class. As for the students of Grade two, they have known quite a few knowledge of the grammar structure of passive voice sentences. And they learnt to use the passive voice in past tense in the last lesson. What’s more, the topic “comedy” is close to students’daily life. They will be very interested in this topic and willing to get some information about comedy in this reading material. So, it may not be so difficult for them to understand the content of this passage and express their feelings about the inventions in this lesson.By analyzing the New Curriculum Standard in English, teaching material and the students in my class, I set the following three teaching objectives.The first one is knowledge aims:(1)Students grasp the main topics of the three sections---types of stand-up, a famous comedian and the fact that laughter is good for your health.(2)Students can learn some useful new words and expressions in this part.The second one is ability aims:Students will improve their reading skills and how to use different reading strategies to read different reading materials.The third one is emotional aims:Develop students’ sense of group cooperation and team work.Stimulate students’ interests in learning English.According to the analysis above, I set the key points and difficult points as the followings.Teaching key points:(1)State the main idea of each paragraph in own words.(2)Know something about Billy Crystal.Teaching difficult points:(1) To practice laughter is the best medicine in our daily life.Now, I would like to talk about the teaching methods and studying methods. As to the teaching methods, Communicative Approach and Task-based Teaching Method will be adopted in this lesson. Based on the learning condition of my students, I arranged some activities to make the reading process more attracted. For example, I will ask students to make competition in groups, which can help them form a good sense of cooperation.Then I’d like to talk about the teaching aids. Multi-medium will be used in this class.Now, let’s come to the most important part of this lesson: the analysis of the teaching procedures. There are 5 stages in my design, there are lead-in, pre-reading, while-reading, post-reading and summary & homework.Teaching procedures:Step 1: Lead-inAfter greeting Ss, I will show some pictures of Mickey mouse, Donald duck, Tom and Jerry, Mr. Bean, and some comedians on the screen, then ask them some questions: Seeing these pictures, you can’t help laughing. Why ? What can make people laugh? What are the health benefits of humor and laughter? I ask these questions step by step. In this way, students’ learning interest will be aroused. And this free talk can make a good preparation for further reading.Step 2: Pre-readingThen, I will work with students to learn some new words. In this way, I will present some new words (stand-up, comedy, comedian…) for the better understanding of the text. After that, I will ask them to predict the main idea of this passage according to the topic we talked about in Lead-in part and the title of the text. It can help them to use predicting skill properly.Step 3: While-readingAt this stage, I will arrange 3 activities. Activity 1: ask students to read the passage quickly to find out the main idea of each paragraph, and then check their answers. Activity 2: divide students into several groups, each group includes three students, and then asks Ss to scan the passage again and answer these questions on the screen. One group answers, other groups complete the answer. I will write down the key words on the blackboard. Activity 3: ask Ss to read this text carefully and then1. Read the part of “Types of stand-up”. Ask the Ss to find out the different types of stand-up and explain them.2. Read the part of “A famous comedian”(1) Ask the Ss to read the first few lines and answer the question “Who is mentioned here as a famous comedian?”—Billy Crystal(2) Ask the Ss to read this part carefully and try to complete the file for Billy Crystal. When talking about Billy’s idols, give the Ss some information about Bob Hope and George Burns.(3) Ask the Ss to discuss in groups of 4: “What special qualities should a comedian have?”(The teacher can give some answers after the discussion, but don’t limit the students’ answers.)3. Read the part of “Laughter is good for your health”. Ask the Ss two questions:(1) What does your brain do when you laugh?--When you laugh, your brain sends chemicals around your body that are good for you.(2)What is the English idiom about laughter mentioned in the text?--“Laughter is the best medicine”All this activities are mainly used to help them have a better understanding on this text and cultivate their awareness of using reading strategies, like scanning, skimming, predicting and mind map.Step 4: Post-readingAt the post-reading stage, Retell the passage according to these words on the screen.Listen to the tape and try their best to imitate the pronunciation. Divide the Ss into several groups and ask them to make a conversation which includes the main ideas in this class:How to keep healthy. They can express their feelings about this topic freely. Also, they have more opportunities to use the passive voice in past tense.Step 5 Summary and HomeworkAt the end of the class, I’d like to make a summary about this lesson and present my homework to consolidate what the students have learned in this period. Ask students to search for more information about the topic, such as videos, stories, books and so on. Let them share what they have collected in the next class.That’s all for the teaching procedures. And these are the blackboard notes. It’s mainly about questions and activity. I write them on the blackboard to remind students to use them as much as possible in group work throughout the lesson. And show them the key points of this lesson.That’s all for my teaching design. Thank you for your listening.Blackboard Design：。

One such person is Billy Crystal.Summary:_____________________________________________________________________这么可爱的婴儿_______________________ 十本这样的书_________________________ 没有这样的人_________________________ 所有这样的喜剧演员___________________Step 4 Beautiful sentences1. A stand-up comedian may tease an audience member, or might decide to tell different jokes depending upon how the audience reacted to his or her previous jokes.2. While this kind of humour may sound cruel, it usually only works if both the comedian and the audience have affection for or admire the person being made fun of.3. Instead of telling the joke he had planned, Crystal made up a new one.4. It seems appropriate that he got his start in silent films!5. He says it is because when he started practising stand-up as a child, he told himself jokes while standing i n front of the mirror, brushing his teeth.6. One reason Crystal has become so famous is that he is very quick thinking, and is often able to come up with new jokes about the people and things around him.7. Whatever the reason, research shows that in the end, the English saying,' Laughter is the best medicine', may be true after all.Step 5 PracticeChoose the best answer.1. Everything comes with ____ price ; there is no such ____ thing as free lunch in the world.A. a, aB. the; /C. the; /D. a; /2.
