新编高中英语教材图文并茂,几乎每一篇阅读课文均配有一幅与该材料密切联系的插图。基于对教师指导 作用的认识以及对新教材的理解,我多次尝试运用文中插图进行导语设计并付诸实践,收到了良好的教学效果 。


利用文中插图,通过问答、讨论的形式和言简意赅、提纲挈领的导语,逐步引入本课的话题,让学生适度 了解话题的内容,易激起学生内在的学习动力,使课堂气氛十分活跃。合理利用插图,能创设更多的交际情景 ,能锻炼学生的观察力和培养他们的思维能力。利用文中插图导入新课,能激活学生永久记忆中相关的知识网 络,使他们产生阅读的愿望和心理准备,并为下一步默读、朗读,分角色对话,带着问题快读和训练阅读技巧 铺平道路。以下为高一新教材插图导入语设计节选。
