交际教学法是指教师给学生营造一个情境,学生在情境中与他人展开对话,通过不断对话的方法积累英语知识的一种教学方法。
1.英语交际教学法提高学生的学习兴趣
教师在引导学生学习初中牛津英语时,教师要求学生以对英语的看法为情境,自己编故事展开对话,以下是两名学生的对话过程:
A:Are you studying any languages here?
B: Yes, I’m studying in the Foreign Language Department.I am majoring in English.
A: I suppose it is difficult to learn because you should learn all about English-speaking countries, such as their literature, art, and history.
B: Right.I just go into the English world as it is a widely used language.But it’s interesting and I find it could be more interesting during my research.
A: I am happy to hear it.It’s important to learn the whole culture of a nation, especially USA and UK if you would like to learn the language well.
B: You’re right.
两名学生在对话中都对英语有自己的独特理解,他们一个问一个答,谈得非常投机,即使教师不再让他们继续对话,学生也会自主地将这个感兴趣的话题不断的拓展。
2.英语交际教学法让学生总结学习错误
学生在展开英语交际教学时,有时学生由于说话说得太匆忙、知识掌握得不牢固、对词句的理解不够深入,他们在对话时有时会出现错误。学生在学习时出现错误是一种重要的学习资源,教师可以引导学生大胆地说,让学生暴露出错误,日后让学生自己思考自己犯下过什么错误,怎样做才是正确的。以教师引导学生进行英语交际教学为例,以下是两名学生展开的英语对话:
A: Hi, Profeor Andrew.
B: Hi, Ann.How are you doing? What’s up now?
A: Well.I’ve just finished the draft of my research paper.I wonder if you could spare some time to take a look at it.
B: You’ve already finished it in le than two months? I can hardly believe it.
A: Well, it’s only a rough draft.I just want to know if there are any strange expreions etc.Could you take care of it carefully in following weeks?
B: Let me have a look.Oh, you’re doing pretty better.When do you want it back?
A: It’s due in two weeks, I think.
B: I’ll try to finish it earlier, within one week.
A:That’s very kind of you.Thanks a lot.
两名学生在这段对话中出现语句不流畅、部分词汇说得不准确、犯下语法错误、词汇应用错误的问题,教师恰巧将学生的这段对话录下来。日后,教师可以让两名学生自己去听自己的交际对话,自己去思索交际对话中出现什么问题。学生通过自主的学习,发现自己在交流中出现的错误,他们在找出自己的错误并解决自己的错误中自主的学习了英语知识,他们的英语水平也能得到提高。
3.英语交际教学法让学生拓展未知知识
教师在实施英语教学法中,可以有意识的先让学生去阅读一些自己不太熟悉的资料,然后让学生在阅读资料以后开展英语交际,通过这种方式,学生既能有效地学习到知识,又能通过英语交际教学加强自己口语输出的能力,达到一举多得的高效教学效果。
以下为两名学生的谈判对话:
Amy: It is none of my businees.The price in USA should be really competitive.And you have to reduce your profit forecast.
Cindy: Absolutely.We really need your big effort and help to develop the market.
Amy: We have to make joint efforts.
Cindy: Right.I have to re-check with my bo and try to quote you best offer sheet.Furthermore, let us talk about the quality.If you could place 10k pcs together, I am sure you will get a good discount.
从这段谈判中可以看到,两名学生通过阅读材料初步了解到商业谈判的知识、知道应当如何与商业客户进行谈判,教师在这场教学中拓展了学生的实践知识。如果教师长期以往的应用交际教学法拓展学生的知识,那么日后学生不仅能掌握商业知识,还能在交际教学法中掌握各中实践技巧,学生的实践应用能力也得到加强。
