第四节整体阅读教学课型探讨

美国教育心理学家林格伦(H.G.Liggren) 指出：“……凡习惯于准备理解整体的儿童将比全身贯注于细节部分的儿童读得多……阅读缓慢的人在同一时刻只集中于某一局部细节，而一旦同时注意的细节太多时，他就陷入困境。解决这个问题的办法是改变儿童的心向，使他开始对整体，而不是对局部作出反映。”心理学家布鲁纳(J.S.Bruner) 也认为：“……语言必须有完整的形式、完整的结构，单个的词语不是语言……”

阅读教学的整体模式对培养学生全方位的阅读能力产生积极的推动作用。但随着阅读教学研究的不断深入，人们逐渐用辨证观来认识从整体到局部或从局部到整体两种阅读模式，分析二者之间的相互关系，并通过介入二者之间的“结合形式” (interactive model) 研究，对两种模式的运用扬长避短，去粗取精，并根据文章的类型和学生已有的知识经验来决定是“交替渗透使用”还是“互立分别使用”这两种模式。“分段教学”和“整体教学”是这两种模式在教学中的具体化。在现阶段中学英语教学中更多的是体现和运用这两种模式的结合式。这种结合模式可演变为“归纳演绎型整体教学”、“任务型整体教学”、“功能结构型整体教学”。

一、任务型整体阅读教学

任务型整体阅读教学包括如下四个部分：

(1) 整体预见性推测与判断；

(2) 整体综合性理解与任务型实践；

(3) 整体发展性评价与验证；

(4) 局部分析性操练与检测。以Bill Gates 一课为例：

内容：

BILL GATES

Bill Gates was born on October 28 ，1955.He grew up in Seattle ，Washington.Bill Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather.He was a very clever

boy.His favourite subjects at school were science and maths.When people asked him what he wanted to be in the future ，he always said ，“A scientist. ”

In 1973 ，Bill went to Harvard University.At Harvard，he developed the BASIC language for the first microcomputer.In his third year ，he left Harvard to work for a company called Microsoft.Bill began this company in 1975 with his friend Paul Allen.They thought that the computer would be a very important tool in every office and in every home.So they began developing software for personal computers.They improved the software to make it easier for people to use computers.

Bill married Melinda French on January 1 ，1994.They have two children ：a daughter and a son.Bill enjoys reading very much.He also enjoys playing golf and bridge.

任务：为比尔·盖茨填写一份履历表

操作过程：

Step 1 ：整体预见性推测与判断

说明：调动、激活学生已有的知识经验，预测大意，激发兴趣，营造阅读所需要的语言环境，提供阅读所需要的语言文化背景知识。

要求学生运用想象和对比尔·盖茨的点滴了解解读比尔·盖茨。

1. 要求学生换位思考，回答应该由比尔·盖茨回答的问题，老师适当介绍其趣闻逸事，激发兴趣并加深对比尔·盖茨的感性认知。

(1)How much money do you have?(46.6 billion)

(2)How will you spend all your money?(contribute it to the world)

(3)How much money are you going to leave to your children.(only 1000 million)

(4)Are you a good student?(No,I didn't finish my Harvard University 's four years of education.I think practice is a college but I also stress finishing normal universty education is necessary.)

(5)Are you strict in work and careless in life ? (Yes.老师可以讲比尔·盖茨动辄捐款过亿，却在咖啡店忘付三美圆一杯的咖啡，而成为报纸头条的故事。)

(6)What's your favourite well-known saying ?( If I were to be thrown in the desert,naked and penniless,I would become a millionarie on condition that a team of businessmen were
