重点和难点:了解 新课程改革和《英语课程标准》的主要相关内容;第二、三两部分是重中之重。

内容与要求:

What do language study consist of?

There are four things that students need to do with “new” language: be exposed to it, understand its meanings, understand its form (how it is constructed), and practise it.

How should we expose students to language?

• Because many people acquire languages by hearing them first, many teachers prefer to expose students to the spoken form first.

• The teacher can play the tape more than once so that students get a good chance to hear the materials. She may also say part of the materials herself and she may feel it a good idea to show the students a written version.

• The teacher has to choose different ways to meet the needs of learners of different levels.

How can we help students to understand meaning?

• Here are some of the ways of helping students to understand meaning: objects, pictures, drawings, gestures, expressions, etc. (esp. when dealing with fairly simple concepts)

• Using questions

• Anything which helps students understand meaning is worth trying.

• Showing them enough examples of the word being used so that its meaning emerges naturally.

IV. Why do students make mistakes?

• The students' own language get in the way.

• Grammatical considerations matter.

• Interference, over-generalization, positive transfer, negative transfer.

V. How should we correct students?

Since we can upset the students and dent their confidence ( if we correct them in a insensitive way), we have to be careful when correcting them. We can ask if one of their colleagues can help out. Being gentle is the most important.

内容与要求:

I. Why teach writing?

1. Reinforcement

2. Language development

4. Writing as a skill

II. What kind of writing should students do?

The answer to this question depends on the students' age, interests and English level. One thing the teacher should make sure is that the students have or can get enough language to complete the writing task.

III. How should teachers correct writing?

• The teacher had better keep a balance between being accurate and truthful on the one hand and treating students sensitively and sympathetically on the other.

• Two ways of avoiding “over-correction”:

• For a particular piece of writing, the teacher is only going to correct mistakes of punctuation, or spelling, or grammar etc.

• The teacher may use a list of written symbols (S= spelling mistakes; WO= word order mistakes)

3. The last but least, correcting is important, but it can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially when it is difficult to know what the mistake is because it is unclear what the student is trying to say. Still, the correction is worthless if students just put their corrected writing away and never look t it again. So teacher have to ensure that the students the problem and then redraft the passage correctly.
