很多教师通过情景的创设将读前词汇与文本词汇结合起来。这些情景一般通过图片、情境、问题、翻译学习词汇来实现。
选修6 Unit3 A healthy life, Warming up and Reading: Cigarette smoking课中,阅读时教师尝试借助图片使学习的内容更加直观,图片中用笔圈注出了吸烟情景和重点词汇 adolescent,突出展示了青少年吸烟的原因的讨论。讨论中学生运用原有的语言发表见解,如misunderstand,learn from, show等,教师通过引导输出预设的目标语言,如:be well aware of, be falsely influenced by, it's cool to 等。
Why do some adolescents smoke?
They are not well aware o the harm of smoking.
They are falsely influenced by some media such as TV series and movies.
It is cool to smoke.
翻译练习:
JAMESN年轻时就迷上了吸烟。习惯了抽烟以后,每次他有空,就会想吸一根。他知道吸烟有很多坏处,但戒烟真的很难。他爷爷希望James能过和他一样长寿的健康生活,就给了他很多建议。最后James成功地戒烟了。
During adolescence, James became addicted to smoking. Accustomed to cigarette, he flet like smoking every time he was free. although he knew smoking has many harmful effects, it was tough to quit it. His granddad hoped that James could lead as long and healthy a life as he had. he gave James some advice. Eventually James did manage to quit it.
教师从学生使用的词汇为切入点,利用同义词、近义词和反义词转换带出新的语言,即图式理论中所倡导的利用学生大脑中已有的语言学习心得目标语言。
