在英语教学中创造性使用英文电影资源

在英语教学中创造性使用英文电影资源

英语教学的特点之一是要使学生尽可能多地从不同渠道、以不同形式接触和学习英语。亲身感受和直接体验语言及语言运用。因此，在英语教学中，除了合理有效地使用教科书以外，还应该积极利用其他课程资源，特别是广播影视节目、录音、录像资料、直观教具和实物、多媒体光盘资料、各种形式的网络资源、报刊杂志等等。众所周知，英文电影是文字、图画、声音、影像的有机结合，是一个立体的语言环境。电影中大量丰富多彩的真实的语言材料为学生提供了一个听、说、读、写活动真实的场景，让学生能够充分利用视觉、听觉的认知，激发学生对英语学习的热情和兴趣。同时，电影所蕴含的社会文化内涵能拓宽学生的视野，增加学生文化知识积累。因此，英文电影可以作为英语课程的重要资源。

一、创造性的使用电影材料教学实践中开发与利用英文电影这一课程资源，在听、说、读、写等方面培养学生的综合运用英语的能力。

1、听说训练听是信息的输入，是人们获得信息的重要途径，而说是输出，是人们表达自己思想的重要手段。语言学家认为说的能力是在有足够输入的前提下出现的。

电影The Pursuit Of Happiness （《幸福来敲门》）是一部描写美国著名黑人投资专家克里斯?加德纳父子情深的励志电影。片中的一个片段是主人公Chris 与朋友Twistle 打电话并记录对方电话号码的情节。笔者选取了该片段并将其中的数字设空，作为学生的听力材料，锻炼学生的数字理解记忆能力。

-Twistle: Write this number down so you can call my secretary, Janice. She can give you all the specifics.

-Chris: Yep.

-Twistle: Okay, 415

-Chris: _415.

-Twistle: 864

-Chris: 864

-Twistle: 256256

-Chris: 256256

-Twistle: Yeah, extension 4796

-Chris: 4796

-Twistle: Right. Call her tomorrow.

-Chris: Yes, sir. 415-864-0256

听和说相辅相成，相互促进，是密不可分的整体。因此在听力训练中应充分

利用语言材料，做到说中练听，听后练说、听说结合。然而，许多中学英语听力课的常见

模式是：教师放录音------------ 学生听---- 学生做题 -- 教师对答案。这种教学

模式形式单一，相对枯燥，久而久之，就会使课堂教学变得模式化，进而僵化。在教学实践中，笔者安排学生在听完听力后先完成填空练习，再模仿影片进行对话朗读，最后让学生模仿对话自编对话以练习目标语言。比如：

Studen A: Is that Mr.White speaking?

Studen B: No.He is out for lunch.

Studen A: Can you tell hin to call me back?

Studen B: Certainly. Can I have your name?

Studen A: John Smith.

Studen B: OK. What ' s your telephone number?

Studen A: My number is 555-7619.

Studen B: 555- 7619. I ' ll tell him as soon as he he comes back.

Studen A: Thank you.

Studen B: You ' re welcome.

这些在“听”之后的“说”的练习，既符合语言学习的规律，又适合学生的最近发展区，学生会说而且愿意说，大大提高学生参与课堂的广度和密度。

2、配音配音不是简单地看着画面，朗读对白，对上口型。配音首先要求发音标准，语速恰当，学生们需要反复地聆听、推敲、模仿、对比、再听、再模仿。从这个意义上讲，学生们的英语语音、语调、语速和听力都得到了集中的强化训练。其次，为了配音时能够情感表达传神，学生必须认真研究电影对白，有了大量的语言输入则强化了读的技能。

影片Titanic （《泰坦尼克号》）中有诸如问候、引荐、称赞、致谢、宴会等多段生活情境浓厚的精彩对白。笔者选取了男女主人公Jack 和Rose 生死诀别时感人至深的一段对白作为学生配音的内容，以锻炼学生的语音语调和语言的流利度。

Rose: I love you Jack

Jack: Don ' t you do that

Jack: Don ' t you say your goodbyes.

Jack: Not yet. Do you understand me?

Rose: I ' m so cold.

Jack: Listen, Rose. You're going to get out of here. You're going to go on. You're going to make lots of babies, and you're going to watch them grow. You' re going to die and old, an old lady, warm in a bed, not here, not this night, not like this. Do you understand me?

Rose: I can't feel my body.

Jack: Winning that ticket was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you, and I'm thankful Rose, you must ...you must ... do me this honor. Promise me that you'll survive, that you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me, now, Rose, and never let go of that promise, never let go.

Rose: I'll never let go, Jack. I'll never let go, I promise.

3、表演

电影片段表演较之配音其要求更高，它不是对原版电影的简单模仿，而是对电影的自我再创作和演绎。学生通过自己的想象和理解，表演片段中的场景，是一个由简单记忆语言到逐步内化语言，再到最后能熟练运用语言的过程。

Kung Fu Panda 《功夫熊猫》是一部语言诙谐幽默，人物性格鲜明，为众多学生所喜的影片。笔者选取了盖世五侠（鹤Crane ，毒蛇Viper ，老虎Tigress ，猴子Monkey ,螳螂Mantis ）对初入师门的主人公阿宝（Po）不同态度的桥段作为学生表演的内容。

-Mantis: There's no words.

-Viper: No denying that.

-Mantis: What was Master Oogway thinking? The poor guy's gonna get himself killed.

-Monkey: He is so mighty! The Dragon Warrior fell out of the sky on a ball of fire! When he walks, the very ground shakes ！

-Tigress: One would think Master Oogway would choose someone who knew kung fu.

-Monkey: Yeah, or could at least touch his toes. Or even see his toes.

-Po: OK. Great. Hi. You're up.

-Crane: I am now.

-Po: I was just...Some day, huh? That kung fu stuff is hard work, right? Are your biceps sore?

-Crane: I've had a long and rather disappointing day, so, Yeah, I should probably get to sleep now.

-Po: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. of course. OK, Thanks. It's just, Man, I'm such a big fan! You guys were amazing at the Battle of Weeping River. Out numbered a thousand to one but you didn't stop. You just...out number .Sorry about that.

-Crane: Look, you don't belong here.

-Po: I know. I know. You're right. I don't have... I just...My whole life I dreamed
