2.通过对日常生活题材讨论,逐步提高学生语言的组织能力
对日常生活题材的讨论是训练学生口语能力一个重要阶段。在这个阶段中,通过组织多种形式课堂和课外的讨论活动,适时以引导学生广泛地对日常生活中的各类题材相互间进行会话,既增强了学生学习兴趣、逐步提高了学生对语言的驾驭能力又活跃学生的思维、扩大了知识面。此类话题涉及邻里关系、购物、运动与健康、家庭生活、抽烟与疾病、教育与发展、少年犯罪等等。下面是众多讨论题材中的两则:
A:
(1) Tell the class about your holiday. Did you go home or travel? What did you do with your family each day or where did you do/who did you see/visit? Explain.
(2) Discuss the customs of Chinese New Year. What do people do to prepare for the New Year/Spring Festival? Are there some interesting activities that you do in your family or hometown to celebrate? Explain.
(3) This Chinese New Year is the Year of the Dragon. What does that mean and what should happen in a Dragon year? Discuss the 12 years/animals of the new year and what each one is supposed to bring according to which animal.
(4) If you have a different favorite holiday other than Spring Festival, discuss what it is and why it is your favorite holiday.
(3) What is the best place you have ever traveled to? Why did you like that place and what made it special?
B :
(1) What kind of service do you get in stores? Has it gotten better or worse over the years? Do you think more shops are employing a "The customer is always right" attitude and greeting people more often with a smile? Or are stores too aggressive now in promoting sales?
