教学研讨丨Active Learning 教学分享会

作者：杨爽

初中部英语组的黎萌老师近期在组内进行了Active Learning的教学分享。在黎老师的带领下，组内的中外教对如何提高英语课堂的教学效果进行了讨论。

主动学习是经验性的、思想性和参与性的学习。

通过主动学习，我们可以探索体验更有效率的、更有趣味的学习经历，也可以让大家担起自我教育的责任。

（Active learning is experiential, mindful, and engaging.

Through it you can explore a set of learning experiences that can be more effective and interesting, and you can take more responsibility for your education.）

在分享会上，黎萌老师和大家分享了几种可以鼓励Active learning 的教学方法：

1. Questioning to activate learning：（提问式主动学习）

Image questions（图片问题）

¢ See—what do you see?

¢ Think— what do you think?

¢ Wonder—what do you wonder?

The Socratic Method（苏哥拉低对话式方法）

¢ Clarify

¢ Challenge assumptions

¢ Probe for evidence and reasons

¢ Consider different viewpoints and perspectives

¢ Consider implications and consequences

¢ Question the question

Application: Do you think it is right to do animal testing?

¢ Clarify—what did you mean when you said animal testing was wrong?

¢ Challenge assumptions—does this mean that you think animal testing is always wrong or could there be some situations where it is right?

¢ Probe for evidence and reasons—what examples can you give to demonstrate that animal testing is wrong?

¢ Consider different viewpoints and perspective—do you think other people view animal testing as wrong? Why might their view be different?

¢ Consider implications and consequences– what if animal testing was made illegal?

¢ Question the question—would you still describe animal testing as wrong?

 2. 将Active learning理念应用到写作教学中：

          ¢ Wind blows. Sails fill. Journey begins.

¢ A thousand wrinkles. A thousand stories.

¢ In the end, everything simply began.

¢ “Goodbye mission control. Thanks for trying.”

¢ Knife hidden, he rings the doorbell.
