小学英语阅读教学不仅可以向学生传授语言知识,提高学生的语言技能,还可以引导学生形成正确的价值观,培养他们的道德素质,从而实现立德树人的目标。本文将探讨如何在小学英语阅读教学中落实立德树人的根本任务,努力实现英语学科的育人目标。
一、解读教材语篇中的德育元素,发挥立德树人价值
英语阅读教学中涉及的语篇、主题和文化知识等蕴含着丰富的育人素材,为实现课程育人提供了有利条件。教师需要根据学生的需求,全方位解读教材,寻找教材与立德树人的关联点,充分发挥教材的育人价值,从而培养学生良好的思想道德品质,帮助学生树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观,实现英语阅读教学和立德树人目标的有机统一[1]。
以译林版英语四年级上册Unit 5“Our new home”的教学为例。“Story time”呈现了Su Hai和Su Yang一家搬家的情境。笔者融合绘本Home is Best,启发学生思考家对于每个人的重要意义,帮助学生聚焦主题“Love your home, love your family”。以下为课堂教学片段。
T:Dear children, we all have a home. Mr Parrot has a home too. Does he like his home? Read the story quickly and find the answer.
S1:No. Mr Parrot doesn't like his home.
T:What do you want to say to Mr Parrot?
S2:Our home is the best.
T:Yes. Home is the best. We love our home. We share happiness and sadness with our family. It's the best place all over the world. Do you think so?
笔者围绕教材话题“家”对教学内容进行合理拓展,努力挖掘教材的育人价值,帮助学生建构对于家的深层理解,从而发挥英语课程的育人价值。
又以译林版英语四年级下册Unit 8“How are you?”
的教学为例。教材围绕Yang Ling生病后不能上学,给Miss Li打电话请假为情境展开。笔者在课堂中引导学生紧扣“care”一词,聚焦文本细节,分析背后的意义与价值。以下为课堂教学片段。
T:Look at Yang Ling. What's the matter with her?
S1:She's ill.
S2:She's staying in bed now.
T:What's she doing?
S3:She's making a telephone call to Miss Li.
T:Why?
S4:Maybe she can't go to school.
T:If you were Miss Li. What would you say to Yang Ling?
S5:I'm sorry to hear that. Take care, Yang Ling.
T:Wow, you are so sweet. You care about her. Does Miss Li care about Yang Ling?
Ss:Yes.
T:How does Miss Li care about her? Please read and find. What do you think of Miss Li?
S6:She is nice.
T:Miss Li really cares about her student, right? Try to care about each other in your daily life because we are happiest when we show care.
笔者联系学生的日常生活,深化学生对“care”一词的认识,引导学生主动关爱身边的朋友和亲人,切实发挥英语课程的育人作用。
二、有效应用信息技术,渗透立德树人理念
教师可以基于教材内容,应用文字、声音、视频等不同形式的信息资源,为学生打造真实、多元的语言学习环境,丰富学生的感官体验,更好地渗透立德树人理念,培养学生的道德品质。
以译林版英语六年级上册Unit 7“Protect the Earth”
的教学为例。笔者在导入环节应用多媒体设备播放自创的优美小诗,并配上一幅画。
T:The trees are where birds live. The rivers are where fish live. The sky is where clouds live. The soil is where seeds live. Where do we live?
S1:The school.
S2:Our class.
S3:The earth.
T:What do you know about the earth?
S4:Our earth is big and beautiful.
S5:There are many plants on the earth.
T:But nowadays our earth is facing big challenges.Please have a look.
T:What should we do?
S6:We must stop that.
S7:We should protect the earth.
在多媒体的辅助下,笔者有效地激发了学生保护地球、保护环境的欲望,实现育人目标。
三、利用德育绘本资源,挖掘德育主题
绘本是教师常用的阅读教学资源。教师可以利用体现德育主题的绘本实施阅读教学。
以绘本Octopus Is a Friend为例。此绘本讲述一只巨大且有些丑陋的章鱼想和斑点鱼成为朋友,却被斑点鱼无情拒绝;而在斑点鱼遇到危险时,勇敢的章鱼挺身而出,成功救下斑点鱼,并与之成为好朋友的故事。绘本的主题思想是“人不可貌相,要与人为善”。笔者通过问题,引导学生学习。
T:If you see someone in danger, what would you do?
S1:I will ask someone to help.
S2:I will call 110.
S3:I will try my best to help him.
T:You are wonderful.I am proud of you. But boys and girls, don't forget sometimes there is a limit to human. Look before you leap.
在阅读到章鱼奋不顾身救斑点鱼时,笔者引导学生思考。
T:If you were the octopus, would you help the spotty fish? Why?
S1:I will help the spotty fish because I want to save him.
S2:I will not help him because he was rude to me at first.
S3:I will try to help because he is so poor.
T:You can keep your idea. As we all know the octopus helps the spotty fish. What do you think of the octopus?
S4:He is friendly and helpful.
S5:He is kind.
S6:He is smart because he saves the spotty fish's life.
在绘本阅读教学的尾声,笔者请学生给绘本起标题并巧妙引出“不要以貌取人”的主题思想。教学片段如下。
T:Look at the cover of the book. The title is missing. Try to name it.
S1:A helpful octopus.
S2:A friendly octopus.
T:Well done. When we read a book, we should read the cover. But never judge a book by its cover.
笔者努力为学生搭建思维支架,设计融合学习理解、应用实践和迁移创新的阅读活动,鼓励学生针对不同的观点进行交流和辨析,帮助学生树立正确的人生观、价值观和世界观。
四、全过程渗透德育,深化立德树人目标
教师要将抽象的立德树人理念与学生的生活有机结合,引导学生在真实的生活情境中解决问题,培养学生正确的人生观、价值观和世界观。
以译林版英语五年级下册Unit 5“Helping our parents”的教学为例。此单元涉及“家庭与家务劳动”和“劳动与人们的生活”等内容。“Story time”部分以“家务劳动”为主题,围绕Mike和Helen周末在家帮助父母干家务活展开,要求学生会读、会说家务类短语clean the car、sweep the floor、wash the dishes、clean the table。
(一)课堂伊始,以问促思
笔者搜集并分享学生在家开展家务劳动的照片,揭示本课主题“Helping our parents”,以下为教学片段。
T:Do you help your parents do housework? What housework do you usually do?
S1:I help my parents clean the house and sweep the floor.
T:Why?
S1:Because my parents are tired after working for a day.
