新編高一（上）英語新教材說課材料
SEFC Book I Unit 7 Cultural Relics
一、教材分析
（一）單元背景分析
隨著人們物質(zhì)文化生活水平的提高，曾經(jīng)一度被忽視的環(huán)境已日益為人們所關(guān)注，從某種程度上說，環(huán)境的優(yōu)劣已成為衡量生活質(zhì)量高低、社會進步程度的標(biāo)志。相對文物而言，其環(huán)境的優(yōu)劣同樣影響文物存在的質(zhì)量。然而，在環(huán)保意識不斷提升的今天，文物環(huán)境并沒有得到應(yīng)有的關(guān)注。
文物保存環(huán)境是指文物所在的空間及可以直接或間接影響文物保存的各種自然因素和人為因素。在我國，由于受經(jīng)濟條件的制約，自然環(huán)境質(zhì)量的惡化，加上人文環(huán)境的影響，文物劣化速度不斷加劇，由于環(huán)境造成對文物毀壞的例子屢見不鮮，如石質(zhì)文物風(fēng)化、金屬文物腐蝕、紙張酸度增加、壁（彩）畫褪色等等。
文物是祖先留給我們的無價之寶，是金錢買不到的。日用品壞了，可以再生產(chǎn)制造，文物卻不同，它不能再生產(chǎn)，再生產(chǎn)出的東西不是文物，是仿制品或贗品，是沒有任何文物價值的。文物一旦損壞，就永遠不能復(fù)原。沒有眾多的文物史跡，文明古國也就名存實亡，失去其傳統(tǒng)的風(fēng)采和內(nèi)涵。文物受損后再修復(fù)是被動性的保護措施，而主動性的保護就是創(chuàng)造良好的文物保存環(huán)境，防治文物受損才是上策。保護文物環(huán)境，實際上就是保護文物古跡本身。整治環(huán)境不是一件小事，保護文物環(huán)境更不是一件容易的事，惟其艱難，需要文物部門付出更多的努力，同時也需要政府和社會的更多支持。所以，我們要好好愛護文物。
（二）教材內(nèi)容分析
本單元話題--文物古跡（Cultural relics ）歷來是全世界較為關(guān)注的焦點之一，尤其是在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭中，大量代表古人類文明的文物、古跡慘遭破壞，甚至毀滅！本單元所采用話題構(gòu)成了一個現(xiàn)代意義十足的時尚理念，能夠充分喚起學(xué)生的參與欲望。單元內(nèi)容極具生活化，富有活力，體現(xiàn)了本套新教材的一個重要特征，即緊扣時代脈搏，富有時代氣息。Listening 開門見山向我們介紹三個cultural sites，并要求根據(jù)所聽內(nèi)容熟悉各自的重要性，以及人們?yōu)楸Ｗo這些文物古跡所采取的措施；Speaking則要求我們制作一個即將被送入太空的、內(nèi)含能代表中國文化的五件物品的“cultural capsule”，讓學(xué)生成為主體，充分發(fā)揮他們的思維、展示他們無限的想象力；Reading通過對俄羅斯著名城市--圣彼得堡有關(guān)史實的介紹，以“A City of Heroes”為標(biāo)題謳歌了圣市人們?yōu)楸Ｗo歷史文物和重建家園所作的一切；Writing進一步要求學(xué)生以主人翁的姿態(tài)致信報社編輯，反映當(dāng)?shù)匚奈锕袍E遭損受毀的情況，呼吁全社會行動起來，為保護人類文明遺產(chǎn)盡一份力。整個單元自始自終圍繞保護代表人類歷史與文明的文物古跡這一主線。話題反映了《課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》所提出的“向?qū)W生滲透人文理念和注重對學(xué)生文化意識的熏陶”要求，非常具有現(xiàn)實教育意義，教師利用素材不但可以傳授英語知識，而且可以在教學(xué)過程中通過滲透的方式將文物保護知識有機地滲透于每堂課的課堂教學(xué)之中，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生愛護人類文明、保護文物古跡、熱愛偉大祖國的思想品德。
（三）教學(xué)重點、難點
1. Functional Items：Ways of giving advice or making suggestions.
2. Topic：Talking about cultural relics, including ways of protecting them.
3. Word-formation：“re + V.”（eg. rebuild, replaced, recreate）.
4. Key words and expressions：select, represent, in history, be kept as, give in(up), in ruins,
in pieces, bring … back to life, etc
5. Structure (Grammar)：The Passive Voice (I) - The Present Perfect Passive Voice
6. Writing：Write a letter to the editor on a certain cultural site, suggesting ways of
protecting the cultural relics.
【 “現(xiàn)在完成時”是中學(xué)階段英語語法教學(xué)的重點，也是難點，不過學(xué)生在初中階段已學(xué)過現(xiàn)在完成時和被動語態(tài)，本單元可以作為一個語法復(fù)習(xí)鞏固來處理。】
總之，本單元通過語法、功能項目與新話題的有機結(jié)合，充分體現(xiàn)《新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》“以學(xué)生為本，以學(xué)生的發(fā)展為本” 之要求。
二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)
（一）語言知識目標(biāo)
本單元要求學(xué)生除掌握必要的單詞、詞組和句型外，同時要求學(xué)生掌握一定量表達“提建議或勸告”的交際功能用語，以及現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)。
（二）語言技能目標(biāo)
通過本單元的學(xué)習(xí)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生良好的“聽、說、讀、寫”的技能，使學(xué)生能運用所學(xué)知識解決相關(guān)情景中的一些類似問題，并能結(jié)合所給任務(wù)，綜合運用新舊知識解決問題，完成任務(wù)，在此基礎(chǔ)上鼓勵學(xué)生大膽地根據(jù)各自的語言基礎(chǔ)與能力，有個性地解決問題，就如何最有效地保護文物古跡提出獨特的見解。
（三）情感目標(biāo)
1）激發(fā)并提高學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣，樂于接受新鮮事物，勇于嘗 試；體現(xiàn)課堂教學(xué)“主體者”的身份，積極主動參與教學(xué)各環(huán)節(jié)，成為學(xué)習(xí)的主人；具有個性，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造能力。
2）培養(yǎng)同學(xué)之間日常融洽相處的感情，樂于合作，善于與人分享喜好，培養(yǎng)正確的審美觀和價值觀。
3）培養(yǎng)學(xué)生具有良好的文明習(xí)慣，具有文物保護意識。
（四）教學(xué)策略
1）開放式教學(xué)策略。以有限的課堂為載體，帶學(xué)生進入廣闊的知識天地。
2）引趣激趣策略。創(chuàng)設(shè)多種情景（境）激發(fā)學(xué)生的興趣，只有讓學(xué)生真正有了參與的欲望，才能點燃他們的思維火花。
3）任務(wù)型活動策略。在做中學(xué)，在做中練，在做中鞏固，往往會使課堂教學(xué)產(chǎn)生事半功倍的良好效果。
4）循序漸進和尊重差異策略。由簡到繁，由難及易，為有困難的學(xué)生搭好梯子，讓有能力的學(xué)生“跳一跳”摘到果子。
（五）學(xué)習(xí)策略
1）課前認真預(yù)習(xí)，利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)或其他媒體收集國內(nèi)外文物古跡以及有關(guān)文物保護信息，課后能及時復(fù)習(xí)。
2）上課勤思考，多動腦，掌握所學(xué)詞匯，熱情、積極、主動參與課堂上各種活動。
3）注意學(xué)習(xí)方法，及時提問并注意傾聽他人意見。
4）確立“學(xué)用英語相結(jié)合”的思想，用英語開展思維，分析（復(fù)述）課文、發(fā)表個人看法、提出獨到的見解等。
（六）文化意識
1）了解文物古跡所折射出的不同時期、不同地區(qū)的特殊文化內(nèi)涵。
２）培養(yǎng)學(xué)生良好的社會公德意識，樹立文物保護意識。
三、教學(xué)原則
（一）以任務(wù)型教學(xué) (Task-based Language Teaching)作為課堂教學(xué)設(shè)計之理念，具體采用情景教學(xué)法（Situational Approach），交際教學(xué)法（Communicative Approach），整體語言教學(xué)法（Whole Language Teaching）等教學(xué)方法。從一定程度上說，人們使用語言是為了完成各種各樣的任務(wù)，而任務(wù)型的教學(xué)活動就是讓學(xué)習(xí)者通過運用所學(xué)語言來完成各種各樣的交際活動。學(xué)習(xí)者通過表達、溝通、交涉、解釋、詢問等各種語言形式來學(xué)習(xí)和掌握語言，實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)，感受成功。
（二）在教學(xué)中突出交際性，注重讀寫的實用性；同時適時進行情感與策略調(diào)整，以形成積極的學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度，促進語言實際運用能力的提高。
（三）堅持“教師為主導(dǎo)，學(xué)生為主體，任務(wù)為基礎(chǔ)”的教學(xué)原則，在課堂教學(xué)的不同環(huán)節(jié)教師應(yīng)扮演自身作為“設(shè)計者，研究者，組織者，促進者，協(xié)調(diào)者”的角色。
（四）貫徹“教中學(xué)，學(xué)中用”策略，真正使學(xué)生學(xué)以致用。
四、教學(xué)總體設(shè)計
（一）創(chuàng)設(shè)情景，營造氛圍，體現(xiàn)語言教學(xué)的真實性
語言教學(xué)的最終目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的言語技能。根據(jù)語言本身的交際性原則，本單元教學(xué)緊緊圍繞３P（Presentation-Practice-Production）教學(xué)環(huán)節(jié)，充分運用情景教學(xué)法、交際法、啟發(fā)法等教學(xué)方法，讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)過程中充分展示其所學(xué)知識。如針對本地區(qū)旅游業(yè)的不斷開發(fā)給文物古跡保護所帶來的負面效應(yīng)，要求學(xué)生用英語表達如何采取相應(yīng)的保護措施等。
（二）采用“任務(wù)型”教學(xué)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生綜合運用英語能力
本單元每堂課采用任務(wù)型教學(xué)，模擬真實生活中的任務(wù)，任務(wù)的設(shè)計注重由簡到繁，由易到難，層層深入，形成由初級任務(wù)到高級任務(wù)并由高級任務(wù)涵蓋初級任務(wù)的循環(huán)；同時多樣化的任務(wù)又由課內(nèi)延伸至課外，不僅可拓展學(xué)生的知識面，更可培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣，從而提高學(xué)生綜合運用英語的能力。
（三）面向全體學(xué)生，關(guān)注學(xué)生的全面發(fā)展
經(jīng)常性地開展pair work、group work、class performance，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的團體合作精神。
五、評價手段與操作方式
我國外語教學(xué)的評價方式過多地依賴于終結(jié)性評價，無論是學(xué)生、教師還是家長，更多地是以學(xué)生的外語考試成績評判學(xué)生外語學(xué)習(xí)能力的高低。這種不科學(xué)的評價方式使相當(dāng)多的學(xué)生喪失了學(xué)習(xí)外語的自信心和積極性，極大地降低了外語學(xué)習(xí)的效率；同時也造成了課堂教學(xué)幾乎完全圍繞考試內(nèi)容來進行，語法教學(xué)、題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)充斥外語課堂等不正常的現(xiàn)象�！墩n程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》則強調(diào)“建立促進學(xué)生全面發(fā)展的評價體系。評價不僅要關(guān)注學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績，而且要發(fā)現(xiàn)和發(fā)展學(xué)生多方面的潛能，了解學(xué)生發(fā)展中的需求，幫助學(xué)生認識自我，建立自信。發(fā)揮評價的教育功能，促進學(xué)生在原有水平上的發(fā)展�！蓖瑫r“建立促進教師不斷提高的評價體系。強調(diào)教師對自己教學(xué)行為的分析與反思，建立以教師自評為主，校長、教師、學(xué)生、家長共同參與的評價制度，使教師從多種渠道獲得信息，不斷提高教學(xué)水平�！币虼耍虒W(xué)評價既要關(guān)注效果，又要關(guān)注過程，應(yīng)是兩者的結(jié)合，既行為評價（也稱非測試性評價）與終結(jié)性評價（也稱測試性評價）相結(jié)合。
（一）行為評價（非測試性評價）：本單元通過對學(xué)生課堂回答教師提問情況、對話表演的參與程度及學(xué)生反應(yīng)、話題表達（如討論利弊）的創(chuàng)新性及針對性、與他人的合作協(xié)作精神及學(xué)生個體的書面作業(yè)等行為，對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)能力、學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度、團體合作精神及創(chuàng)新意識等做出過程性評價。這種評價有助于老師發(fā)現(xiàn)每位學(xué)生的閃光點，及時肯定、表揚，也可讓更多的學(xué)生體驗成功的喜悅，體現(xiàn)英語課堂教學(xué)的“全員”意識，利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。具體操作時，老師設(shè)計如下表格，對學(xué)生進行評定。
表一：課堂活動配合及對話表演反饋表

【注：評價等第為（積極 / 優(yōu)秀、尚積極 / 良好、一般、不參與 / 需努力）】
（二）終結(jié)性評價（測試性評價）：通過單元檢測形式來了解學(xué)生在本單元中學(xué)習(xí)的實際程度，通過整體效果和個體效果的綜合分析，利于教師在下一單元教學(xué)中及時調(diào)整教學(xué)策略。
（終結(jié)性評價：略）
六、單元教學(xué)設(shè)計（課時計劃及操作步驟）
依據(jù)《課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》及對學(xué)生教學(xué)目標(biāo)的要求，課堂教學(xué)中充分利用與教材相配套的教學(xué)掛圖、錄音帶、VCD 、投影片、練習(xí)冊、閱讀訓(xùn)練以及多媒體軟件等，并以此作為學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和教師教學(xué)的重要內(nèi)容和手段。適應(yīng)信息時代之所需，教師應(yīng)重視使用一些先進的現(xiàn)代教學(xué)技術(shù)手段來激發(fā)、提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣，主要運用多媒體輔助教學(xué)，以增加教學(xué)的直觀性和趣味性，加大課堂密度，提高教學(xué)效率。本單元計劃用六課時完成教學(xué)任務(wù)與測試評估。具體教學(xué)程序設(shè)計如下：
