摘 要:通過對學生英語學科核心素養(yǎng)的培養(yǎng),使他們樹立正確的英語學習觀,保持學習英語的熱情與興趣,能夠在不同的語境中利用自己的語言知識與技能,有效地進行人際交流;在不同文化的碰撞中,能夠比較文化異同,堅定文化自信,形成正確的價值觀。
關鍵詞:傳統(tǒng)文化教育;英語術語;契機
英語學科核心素養(yǎng)包括語言能力、文化意識、思維品質和學習能力四大要素,取代了課標(實驗)中學生語言技能、語言知識、情感態(tài)度、學習策略及文化意識五維目標。四大要素的提出是對五維目標的進一步完善與整合。通過對學生英語學科核心素養(yǎng)的培養(yǎng),使他們能夠樹立正確的英語學習觀,保持學習英語的熱情與興趣,能夠在不同的語境中利用自己的語言知識與技能,有效地進行人際交流;在不同文化的碰撞中,能夠比較文化異同,堅定文化自信,形成正確的價值觀。
當前我們英語課堂上英語教師都在時不時滲透對中國傳統(tǒng)文化的教育。我們英語教師應該充分利用契機,讓學生既學習了英語知識,又對中國傳統(tǒng)文化有所了解。
例如,假定你是李華,想邀請英國筆友David今年寒假來你家體驗中國春節(jié)的風俗,請你給他寫一封信,內(nèi)容包括:簡述寫信意圖;簡要介紹春節(jié)及春節(jié)期間的傳統(tǒng)活動;表達歡迎他來做客的愿望。
教師要有目的地設計出想法,為自己的英語課堂訓練學生的英語寫作水平鋪設比較有利的條件。首先,學生會對有關春節(jié)的常見術語不是特別的了解。英語教師就應當在課堂上給學生灌輸這些術語。
春節(jié)常用英語術語
學生掌握了這些術語之后,在創(chuàng)作之前,可以看一篇有關節(jié)日介紹的范文,讓學生有一個對節(jié)日介紹的比較好的了解。例如:
The Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, Chinese New Year, is the most important festival for all of us. Before the festival coming, all the families will clean their house. Then the family members get together on New Years Eve to have a big meal and watch the spring festival party. At about 12 oclock,some parents and children light crackers. The whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly. How busy it is!
On the first early morning of one year, many senior citizens get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door. Some houses windows are stuck on red paper cuttings.
The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days. And each day has its own food, such as dumplings, noodles, rice glue ball and so on. During the fifteen days, we always visit our relatives from door to door. At that time, children are the happiest because they can get many red packets from their parents,grandparents, uncles, aunts and so on. The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival. It is named the Lantern Festival.
So the Chinese New Year comes to the end.
如果你的班級英語水平比較高,教師可以讓學生欣賞以下這篇關于春節(jié)的應用文,從中讓學生得到更大的提高。
A Letter to Lawrence
Feb.? 3, 2016
Dear Lawrence,
It has been five years since we met each other last time. How time flies! How are things with you? The happy time we spent together is always on my mind and I really hope to meet you again. As you know, Spring Festival, Lunar New Year, is the most favorable holiday for us Chinese. With its colorful and rich traditions, it is celebrated almost in every part of China. Everyone is indulged in the dominant atmosphere of joyous family reunion and with the fresh and vigorous look people greet the New Year.
The celebrations vary from place to place, but there are three traditions that have never differed throughout the country. First, the New Years Eve dinner is a symbol of family reunion, with all family members sitting around the steaming table, tasting a variety of delicious food and wishing each other health, success and happiness. Second, people, during the holidays, will visit each other to express their best regards and wishes. And finally, we can enjoy the marvelous lion and dragon dances symbolizing happiness, good fortune and prosperity.
The day is drawing nearer, my families and I sincerely invite you to join us for this years Spring Festival. If youd like to, we can make further arrangements. Looking forward to your reply!
Yours Yuan Chao
英語教師尋找合適的契機,把中國傳統(tǒng)文化應用在自己的教學當中,是對英語教師一個非常大的挑戰(zhàn)。隨著英語核心素養(yǎng)在課堂上的逐步實施,相信會有更多的英語教師逐步改變自己的教學理念,迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)!
