近日,，我校初中高端英語項目組舉行了主題為“英文原版小說教學策略探究”的中外教聯(lián)合教研活動,。會議由初中教務副主任張麗君主持。本次活動旨在探究英文原版小說閱讀教學的有效性，逐步形成“以學生為中心,，教師為引導的小說閱讀教學模式”,。
來自蘇格蘭的外籍教師Amar Sumal 為本次workshop的主講人,，研討題目為“How to teach a novel class”,。Amar講到，初一年級目前在閱讀的原版小說,，符合初中生的年齡特點,，集娛樂和學習為一體，可以促進學生自主閱讀,，提高閱讀速度,，擴大詞匯量，能夠幫助學生提升英語閱讀能力,。研討從目前學生在小說閱讀中存在的問題入手,，如逐字閱讀，缺乏語境意識,，無法連貫而專注的閱讀和思考,，課后閱讀存在偷懶現(xiàn)象等問題，提出四大需要各個擊破的小說教學問題,，如：課前教師要做哪些準備？如何有效指導學生展開關于小說的討論,？引導學生沉入語境的最佳方式是什么,？如何確保學生能夠保質保量完成閱讀作業(yè)？中外教分小組就以上問題展開集體研討,。
研討過程中,，Amar重點強調了小說閱讀教學中經(jīng)常被忽視的“close reading”（細讀文本或文本分析）理論的重要性，并以小說Nania第十一章為例,，引導教師如何在細讀教學中提升學生的思維品質,，讓學生不僅關注文本說了什么，更要關注作者的敘事方式，以及文字后面的深層含義,。即閱讀教學要有“境”,，緣“境”生“情”，以“情”激“思”,。引導教師精心設計文本問題,，避免學生機械作答。以問題為抓手,，引導學生沉入語境,，開啟學生心靈，拓展其思維品質,。Amar講到基于文本設計的問題應涉及理解類（understanding）,分析類（Analysis）和評價類（Evaluation）,。
來自石家莊外國語的三位老師全程參與了本次研討，他們反饋到特別欣賞我校的中外教聯(lián)合教研模式,，在整個教研過程環(huán)環(huán)相扣,，層層深入，中外籍教師在教研活動中各抒己見,、精誠合作,、積極學習相關理論，所有老師都對英文原版小說教學策略有了更深刻的理解,，對于如何深挖文本有了更為感性及理性的認識,。
中外教培訓會感想
@ Ricky Today’s workshop was very well done. Between the activities requiring us to think critically and determine the proper preparation required to teach novels, and the activities we had practicing what the students will have to do in a classroom, I feel well prepared to properly introduce the concept to the children. My favorite part was analyzing the text and figuring out if a question was an “A”, “U” or “E” question. Thanks Amar!
@ Lily Thank you Amar for giving us the wonderful workshop. Novel reading is a good way for students to improve reading abilities. As for teachers , we are supposed to try our best to make it easier for them to become interested in reading novels. I have learned more from your presentation. Firstly, get well prepared before starting the book and before each class. Secondly, I’ve learned a lot from the close reading. Our teachers worked in a group to experience what students do in the class while reading. This really helped us to understand the essentials of close reading. Hopefully, I will do my best in designing the effective reading classes to get my students involved and we can bring about a change in students' reading.
@Grace Novel plays an essential part in English learning. Both foreign and Chinese teachers teach novels in English class. So it is important for teachers to know how to teach well and effectively in class. Armar provided useful ways about novel reading class. I really appreciate it and learn a lot from this workshop prepared carefully by him. Before teaching, teachers need to read the entire book first and make sure to have a clear understanding the entire book. And also if teachers wish to maximize instructional time, creating a thorough plan for the unit is critical. Besides, he provided us how to do close reading well. Questions can be divided into three kinds: understanding, analyzing and evaluating. I really appreciate and learn a lot from the workshop.
