美妙的前奏高中英语课前五分钟教学纪实周春燕【摘要】：本文针对当前我国英语教学中的难题如何为学生创造一个良好的英语学习环境和氛围，结合自己的教学实践，就英语课前5分钟活动作了一些探讨。阐述了在各个不同的学期所采取的不同的课前活动形式以及这些课前活动的具体做法和作用。【关键词】：课前五分钟 课前活动一、问题的提出英语课一直是以传授语法知识，提高阅读水平和英语运用水平的能力，这样的文化课让学生稍稍感到枯燥，为了提高学生学习英语的兴趣，让学生们在英语课堂上能够敢于开口说英语，乐于说英语，主动地创造性地运用英语交流、表达思想，这是我们努力的方向，利用好英语课前五分钟，我们就朝这种目标迈进了一步。通过这分钟的热身创造一个英语课堂气氛，将学生的思维、注意力引导到课堂上来，进入接收新信息的积极状态。二、让学生享受的课前5分钟教学1. 英文歌曲走进我们的课堂众所周知，英文歌曲一直以来深受英语学习者的青睐，不仅因为音乐和歌曲有陶冶性情、提高道德情操、振奋精神、鼓舞斗志、增进健康、延年益寿的功能，更主要的因为音乐和歌曲对于学习文化知识、技能、语言、特别是对外语这个涉及心理和运动神经技能的课程的确有促进作用。科学已经证明，音乐和歌曲能够有效地提高大脑记忆功能。很多人到老年仍然会唱童年的歌曲已是司空见惯之事。生理学家曾断言人类的大脑左半球处理语言和逻辑，而右半球处理节奏和旋律。当人唱歌时，大脑两个半球的功能会同时活跃起来，使人很容易记牢歌词，比仅仅反复默读、死记硬背更为有效，甚至终身不忘。假如歌曲的速度与大脑电波长一致，就能使大脑以更高效率执行记忆的功能。因此我把一些英文歌曲当成学习英语的生动教材，更好地为教学服务。A、选择合适的英文歌曲开学初，我就让学生推荐两至三首自己喜欢的英文歌曲，然后我的任务就是从网络上面下载这些歌曲，并在每堂课前播放这些歌曲。我发现学生喜欢的歌曲具有当前的流行元素，歌词不是太难理解，有一定的意境，反映人生当中真的、善的、美的一面。如：Westlife组合的 My Love, Fool Again, If I let you go, Against the odds, Swear it again。Blackstreet组合的 Never gone, Just want you to know等等。还有很多欧美经典歌曲如：Yesterday once more, Right here waiting, My heart will go on, The power of love, I will always love you, Heal the world, hey Jude, Rhythm of the rain, I believe I can fly, Tell me why, Auld Lang Sang,等等。还有一些翻唱我们中文歌曲的，比如：Take me to your heart, by my side, the day you went away, proud of you 等等。B、设计适合学生提高听力的歌词填空1.听整首歌曲，让学生同时写下听到的词汇或句子；2.以完形填空的形式呈现歌曲，让学生听并填出空缺的名词、动词、代词、形容词、副词、介词或连词等； 以Richard Marx 的Right Here Waiting 为例: Tick the correct words:Oceans apart day after dayAnd I slowly go insane/in sameI hear your voice on the line/nightBut it doesnt stop the painI took for granted/granny, all the timesThat I though would last/less somehowI hear the laughter/left, I taste the tearsBut I cant get near you nowFill in the blanks:I wonder how we can surviveThis_But in the _ if Im with youIll take the _又如Celion Dion的A new day has come 为例A new day has come,A. Tick the correct words:A new day has come,I was wasting/waiting for so long,for American/a miracle to come,Everyone talked/told me to be strong,hold on, and dont shed a tear/tea,Through the darkness and good times/time,I knew Id make/made it through,And the word/world thought I had it all,Butter/But I was waiting for you,B: Write down the words you hear.Hush, love,I see a light in the _,Oh, its almost blinding me,I cant believe Ive been _ by an angel with love,Let the rain come down and _ away my tears,Let it fill my soul and drown my fears,Let it shatter the _for a new son,A new day has come,A new day has come,3.以排列句子顺序的形式呈现，让学生听出顺序并编写序号；4.以接力赛游戏方式呈现，即把整首歌曲分解成若干完整的句子写在纸条上，发给一组学生，听到自己句子的学生以最快速度站起来，依次完成歌曲，用时短，无错误、无遗漏的小组为胜；5.以完整的歌曲呈现，让学生听并划出语音方面的内容，如连续、爆破、浊化等现象。通过上述方法训练，我发现学生的热情极高，并且听得认真，有些学生还从中总结积累出不少听听力的小技巧、小方法,受益匪浅。C、帮助学生理解和欣赏美妙歌词读一首好歌就是一首好诗。我们欣赏的英文歌曲中，绝大多数的歌词是用美国白话文写成的，其中运用了许多美国俚语、习语甚至时髦话，还有各种修辞手法，这些都是书本里很少有的口语，即“活的语言”。学生记住并会运用这些常用词语肯定是对日常英语教学大有裨益的，加之抑扬顿挫地朗读这些美词佳句，久而久之可以培养学生的英语语感。另外，一些叙事性强的歌词完全可以作为一篇课文来阅读，让学生找出所学过的知识点，以便复习巩固。因此，教学中我常常让学生或个人或三三两两或集体有节奏地、绘声绘色地朗读所有的歌词。同学们乐此不疲，这无疑有利于提高他们的阅读能力。D、提供学生学唱和表演的时间唱这是英文歌曲欣赏中的重头戏。 每个走进课堂的学生都希望能美滋滋地哼着新学的曲子走出教室，因此这一环节中要确保每位学生都能开口唱、大胆唱。这就要最大限度地消除部分学生的羞怯感，不断鼓励,不断指导(尤其是唱英文歌曲时的发音)，帮助他们树立一定能唱好英文歌曲的自信心，因为只有会唱，学生才有成就感、满足感，所以要让他们反复地唱，或放声高歌，或低声吟唱。在一遍遍教唱、跟唱、合唱、轮唱、对唱、重唱、赛唱之后，最终会发现同学们各个喜形于色，按捺不住。2、Talent show现在的学生都很有表现的欲望，特别是刚刚步入高中的他们希望教师给机会表现。我一般先进行班情研究调查，让有某种特长的学生先带头。他们的才艺往往让我大开眼界：唱英文歌、英文绕口令、讲英文故事、朗诵英文诗歌、英文智力题、英文笑话、校园英语新闻报道等等。3、China Daily 融入我的教学为了自身专业水平的提高，丰富自己的业余生活，开阔眼界，我订了手机报China Daily。后来我发现课前5分钟和学生一起分享让我的手机报发挥更大的作用。A、News home and abroad 让学生关注世界比如中国神舟七号的发射新闻：（1）、Shenzhou VII Blasts offThe spaceship Shenzhou VII blasts off on a long March II-F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 9:10 pm Thursday after a breathtaking countdown. Onboard pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected to orbit the earth for 4 days. The highlight of the whole program will be the 30-minute spacewalk when the Shenzhou VIItravels around the earth during its 29th orbit.（2）、Zhai completes space walkChinese taikonaut Zhai Zhigang safely returned to the orbital module after completing Chinas first spacewalk in space Saturday afternoon. Zhai waved to the camera mounted on the service module after pulling himself head first out of the capsule at 4:43pm, a video monitor at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center showed. “Shenzhou VII taikonaut is now outside the spacecraft. I feel good. I am here greeting the Chinese people and people of the whole world,” the 42-year-old taikonaut reported to ground control in Beijing.尽管新闻中有一些新单词，但学生能根据自己的常识猜测。我同时从网上载了很多对于神舟七号发射的评论：? It is an encouraging issue that the Shenzhou VII had just launched successfully. It gives us most encouragement. and there is long way to go in the space. Good luck China.? Good luck to the three astronauts. I keep my fingers crossed and hope that everything goes well as planned.? China wants to show that China is more powerful than the past. We Chinese have made great achievement in space field. This is a way to make the world know China is improving all the way. As we all know, military technology and space technology are both important and key point to show a countrys mightiness and advancement. ? Great pleasure hit me when witness of shenzhou VII launched this evening, a big progress for space program compared to the last two missions, appreciated all people who involved the research, service team, your action is meaningful for human being, I am proud of you . your effort realize the Chinese space exploration ambition. Thanks for all of you.然后让学生发表评论，我发现很多学生的接受能力很强，很快就把刚刚学到的单词、句型用起来。? 还有学生比较关注的新闻：Top global universities list? The Times newspaper has released its list of top international universities. Harvard comes top for the 5th year running, followed by Yale, with Cambridge and Oxford in 3rd and 4th place. Four Chinese universities, including 3 Hong Kong universities and Peking University, are in the top 50. But Peking University fell from 36th to 50th place, and Tsinghua University fell from 40th to 56th.? MP3 may lead to hearing loss? Often listening to MP3 with a high-volume may lead to permanent hearing loss, according to an EU report released Monday. The report said those who listen for 5 hours a week at high-volume settings expose themselves to more noise than permitted in the noisiest factory. Maximum volume on some devices can produce as much as an airplane taking off nearby.B、Language tips 培养学生阅读时的猜词能力为了培养学生阅读时猜词的能力，我选了一些句子，让学生先猜测词义，然后翻译句子。比如：（1）? The truth is that Tom never likes his rich Uncle John. But you should have seen his crocodile tears when the old man died and left him 1m dollars.? crocodile tears 猫哭老鼠假慈悲（2）、? Today is the Double Ninth Festival, also called Seniors Day. On this day, people climb mountains, enjoy chrysanthemums, eat Double Ninth cakes and drink chrysanthemum wine. To have a healthy body, it is important to have a 3 square meals a day that have all thenecessary nutrients.? a square meal营养均匀，健康的一餐（3）? Hes a real doubting Thomas- he simply wouldnt believe Id won the car until he saw it with his own eyes.? doubting Thomas 不肯轻易相信别人的人? My brother Mike is a smart, good-looking guy. But none of my friends want to go out with him because hes such a cheapskate.? cheapskate吝啬鬼，小气鬼C、Hot words 让学生更关注英语在日常生活中的运用我发现很多学生不能很好的将课本里学到的语言知识点用到日常生活中去。把某些词融入到新闻中，学生易懂也易记。? （1）The government has vowed to overhaul the countrys milk collection system to prevent contaminated milk from reaching food-processing plants.? （2）Women who binge drink in first 3 months of pregnancy have an increased risk of having infants with cleft lip and cleft palate, according to findings in the American journal of Epidemiology. ? （3）Nuts and boltsA. 小零件 B. 琐碎杂物 C.基本要素、具体细节D. Talk show 给学生提供模仿的机会因为学校聘用了一位来自美国的外教，口语地道，风趣幽默，学生很想和他进一步的接触。但是由于本身英语口语水平的限制，许多学生无法从容的面对外教，怕出丑。因此，我一边鼓励学生要自信，一边给学生提供更多的口语训练。比如： ? Im broke.? 我身无分文。? I couldnt be more sure.? 我再肯定不过了。? Brilliant idea!? 这主意真棒！? Do you really mean it? 此话当真？? Go to the point!? 有话直说。? Who am I gonna ask? 我应该问谁呢？? What if I dont wanna do that? 如果我不想做呢？? Well, it matters to me!? 但对我来说很重要。? I am behind you.? 我支持你。China Daily 不仅给我们师生带来了丰富的英语知识，优化了英语教学，更使我们的师生关系进一步融洽，是我们学习英语必不可少的调味品。China Daily 手机报的内容很多，教师在选择的时候要注意以下几个选择条件：a) Close to the times （keep pace with the times）与时俱进b) Close to
