《英语教学理论与实践》教学大纲Theory and Practice for English language Teaching课程代码:RRX036316 学时:36 学分:2理论学时:36 实验或讨论学时:0适用专业:英语课程性质:选修执笔人:李银玲审定人:康光明一、说明1.课程的性质、地位和任务“英语教学理论与实践”是面向英语专业高年级学生开设的一门个性发展课程。
是一门多边缘的、发展中的、理论与实践相结合的理论学科,课程在回顾外语教学历史、研究语言和学习规律、介绍先进教学理论的同时,要求学生通过语音、语法、词汇、听力、口语、阅读、写作、等课堂教学的实践,掌握教学理论,灵活运用教学理论。
因此,本课程具有知识介绍和理论实践两大特点,既注重知识的传授,又注意教学能力的培养。
2.课程教学的基本要求该课程要求学生有很强的自主学习能力和参与意识。
根据人才培养模式的要求和本课程设置的特点,学生在学习时应做到以下几点:1)做好充分的预习工作该课程要求学生必须在上课前做好充分的预习工作。
在课前预习时应该做到以下几点:预习教材,完成所有的tasks;阅读相关的辅助材料,如上海外语教育出版社和外研社都出版了成套的英语教学和研究类图书,另外很多国内的刊物,如“外语教学与研究”“外语界””国外外语教学”“中小学外语教学”等,国外的如TESOL Quarterly, ELT Journal, Forum等上面都有很多理论与理论应用性的研究,阅读这些书籍和刊物不仅可以扩充自己的知识,也可以学习一些研究方法;自己应该能够根据教材中的教学理论,设计各种微型课堂活动。
2)注意互惠性学习所谓互惠性学习即在学习中与其他同学合作,互惠互利,进行信息共享,共同分析问题、解决问题。
如有可能可以结合成固定的学习小组。
3)加强反思性学习在学习过程中应注意将所学教学理论与自己的教学实践相联系,从理论的角度评估自己的教学。
如在学习“阅读教学”时,根据阅读教学的理论对照自己的阅读教学实践,寻找教学中的差距,这样不仅可以加深对教学理论的理解,也可通过对自己教学的反思,提高自己的业务素质。
3.课程教学改革本课程注重理论和实践相结合,注意学习过程中的“教学行为研究”。
模拟讲课一般是安排在教学课程完成之后,但是,在学习教学的过程中让学生有意识地将教学行为研究纳入自己的学习日程。
辅导学生注意发现学习中存在的问题,分析问题的原因,然后根据所学教学理论设计解决方式,在课堂上与其他同学交流,同时征求辅导教师的意见。
二、大纲内容内容㈠课程理论教学(理论学时为30学时)本课程系统讲授国内外外语教学及教育科学方面的新成就,并注意提供实际而具体的教学建议,为培养合格中学英语教师打下良好的英语教学理论基础。
培养学生初步掌握的英语教学的方法和技巧。
课程在回顾外语教学历史、研究语言和学习规律、介绍先进教学理论的同时,要求学生通过听力、口语、阅读、写作、语音、语法、词汇等课堂教学的实践,掌握教学理论,灵活运用教学理论。
