普通高中英语新课程阅读与写作教学设计
写是听、说、读、写四项语言技能的重要组成部分之一,更是语言能力的重要表现形式。然而,写作一直是当前英语教学中的薄弱环节,很多教师觉得写作教学费时费力,成绩提高缓慢,不愿在上面投入较多的精力,以致形成了“听到写作学生心烦,见到习作教师头痛”的现象。写作教学相对滞后,这与中学阶段很少开设英语写作课有关,教师大多只注重写作结果,而忽视写作前的引导过程,学生习作也多表现为信息处理凌乱,表达缺乏一定的逻辑性且言之无物,结果教师教得累,学生学得苦,收效甚微。因此,在高中阶段要加强写作训练是十分必要的,教师从高一开始就要充分重视写作教学,使写作训练贯穿于整个高中阶段英语教学的始终。
我始终认为没有大量的“输入”,即语言信息的积累,就不可能有“交际”,与相对滞后的写作教学相比,高中阶段阅读课的教学普遍受到大家的重视,有了一定的基础,且已经获得了长足的发展,我认为高中英语写作课的教学完全建立在阅读课教学的基础上,与阅读教学巧妙结合起来。阅读与写作密不可分,阅读是写作的基础,是作文素材和表达方式的源泉,通过阅读学生可以扩充词汇,扩大知识面,增强语感,从而汇集大量的语言信息,为写作打下扎实的语言基础。因此,教师在侧重培养学生阅读能力的同时,可以采用阅读扩写、阅读仿写、阅读续写、阅读改写及阅读缩写等方法,将阅读教学和写作教学结合起来,利用阅读教材对学生进行写作训练。
下面以新教材模块六第四单元的第五课时----Reading and writing为例,谈谈阅读与写作课的教学设计----阅读仿写。

分析作者所使用的写作手法,之后要求学生就同样的体裁采用同样的手法写出一篇短文,这一教学尝试完全符合新课程的教学理念,一方面它最大限度利用了有限的教学时间,将阅读与写作整合在一起,强化了学生对课文的理解以及对语言知识的积累,为学生创造了在写作中运用语言的机会,是阅读教学的有效延伸,提高了教学效率;另一方面它将学习的主动权还给了学生,学生将自己的生活体验应用于写作实践中,突出了他们的学习主体地位;同时,学生在写作过程中相互合作,分享信息与观点,锻炼了他们从多个角度分析问题的能力,培养了他们书面运用语言的综合能力。
