亲爱的各位老师,朋友:

  英语学习在我国日益受到重视和关注,然而老师们在教学中、学生们在学习中却依旧面临着缺乏英语学习环境,缺乏地道的学习材料等各种问题。事实上,网络带给我们的丰富环境中,资源并不缺乏,只是需要我们去收集、去整理、去共享,为己为人所共享。基于此,我们英语教学论坛想发起一系列活动,让大家共同来做些事,为我们的教学、学习生活创造更丰富的内容,带来更便利的资源!

希望有兴趣的老师同学共同参与进来!

下面是我们的系列活动1:



【活动名称】: 资源共创 发挥网络集体优势

                           ——西方文化特色英语阅读篇章集锦

 

【活动目的】:阅读,一直以来都是英语教学中的重中之重。学生通过每日阅读篇章的练习,不仅仅是训练阅读技巧,改进阅读能力,提高阅读分数,更是一种输入英语语言文化,拓展词汇句型最为关键和可行的方式。因而,对于教师而言,为学生选择适合的典型的阅读篇章,能够帮助学生极大地提高阅读效率和英语学习效率。

但是,当前市面上各种琳琅满目的阅读材料,滥竽充数者有之,翻译中文者有之,面对这样的状况,一则学生不知道该选择什么样的材料,二则非地道的文章读来不但乏味,对学生学习地道的语言益处也不大。因而,如何获得地道的展示西方文化、英语语言知识、西方风土人情的阅读文章,我相信,一定让很多老师大为头疼。

因此,本活动希望集合网络中不同地区不同学校老师们的集体力量,编制一套地道地展示英语语言文化特点的中小学生阅读材料(适合初学者和中级学者阅读),共同收集具有西方文化特色、风土人情特色、英语语言知识特点以及展示时代发展的各类文章。

 

我们每个人贡献一篇文章,10个人就是10篇,20人就有20篇,30人就有30篇,40人就有40篇……

 

活动所收集的阅读材料将根据文章体裁、主题分类整理,并制定成册,以PDF版、Word版分享给大家,以供各位老师在日常教学中参阅或直接打印便可使用。


【活动时间】本活动集中时间为218-420日,希望它可以不断延续下去……


【参与要求】任何人,只要有兴趣都可参与


文章形式:可以是结合阅读完型训练的,也可以是纯粹了解西方文化的小阅读、风趣故事

 

要求:给出文章难度等级、文章类型等信息,建议给出适合阅读的年级、文章字数信息


因为涉及到版权问题,最好能给出文章的出处。若为原创文章,请署名。

==> I am sorry. Coz I have to make the Chinese English teachers understand the activity well, it is firstly written in Chinese. :)

Actually, this is an activity in which we combine teachers from different areas to collect or create reading passages together. Definitely, these passages should demonstrate authentic western culture.   Passages about English language and literature, western customs, stories,  history culture. etc. are all okay. 

If you can give the information, like degree of difficulty, types, it will be better. And of course, the issue of copyright is important, so please add the source of the articles.

Then, we can make a e-profile to share with one another. 

Welcome you to join it!

Best

是否可以根据教材的不同版本,针对每个单元进行设计,阅读辅助英语教学会更好。


 
==> 朱老师这个提议非常好。我们可以分为两个系列来做,一个是根据学生阅读水平的发展递进的阅读材料,一个是围绕现有教材的辅助阅读材料。

两个可以同时推进。

欢迎更多的老师参与进来哦!

现有的阅读材料,初中初二-----初三阶段,学生的阅读材料问题体现在:
1、文章生疏单词的数量多。
2、文章语法体现不出与教材的同步性。
3、出现生疏词语的用法。
阅读是帮助学生复习和巩固所学内容的最好方式,也是提高学生学习兴趣的方式之一,同时可以了解西方文化。

Here is a passage about a person's experience staying in hotels:
 
In my new job as a software sales rep for a major company I travel a lot.  This means I have to be away from my family frequently.  I don’t like that aspect of the position, but the pay is pretty good.

 During a typical month I will stay in a hotel twelve nights a week.  The secretary at our office books all of my rooms so I don’t have to worry about that.  The meals I eat are all on the company.  Since I am tired after a long day of working I usually end up ordering room service.  I don’t stay at 5 star hotels, but the places I stay are not dumps either.  It would be bad for business if I had a client meet me at a seedy hotel in a bad section of town. 

My typical day on a business trip starts with a wake up call at 6:00 AM.  I go down to the lobby and check out the continental breakfast.  If it is good I’ll eat there.  I work all day and then I come back to the room.  Some nights I’ll have a drink from the wet bar, but usually I just eat and go to bed.  Some day I will get out of the traveling portion of my job, but for now I’m just glad I have a job.

==> Dear Andrew,

It is pretty good to offer this passage. You can just send  the passages through this Gmail group or edit it on this wiki page 

Meanwhile, can you provide the type of the passage, its degree of difficulty and its proper readers?
