指向学科核心素养发展的传统文化单元拓展阅读教学的探讨
湖南省长沙县第三中学 彭星辉
《普通高中英语课程标准(2017年版2020年修订)》指出:英语学科核心素养主要包括语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力。而文化意识的培育有利于增强学生对国家认同和家国情怀,文化自信,学会做人做事,成长为有文明素养和社会责任感的人。本单元(必修二第三单元 译林出版社)主题语境是“人与社会”,讨论的话题是“节日与风俗”。整个单元的教学,意在帮助我们学生来初步了解世界各地不同文化与风俗习惯,理解文化的真正内涵,能够比较不同文化差异,坚定我们中华民族文化自信,提高多元文化沟通能力以及向世界展示、传播中华文化的能力。
1、 Extended reading(拓展阅读)板块内容特点:该部分给学生呈现的是一篇有关中国家庭享受年夜饭的文章。语篇中主角LuoYan一家三口乘高铁回老家陪父母过春节。英国著名历史学家阿诺德·约瑟夫·汤因比,两次赴华后,曾预言:中华文明将引领世界。他指出:文化是一种习惯,或至少是一种先前规定的习惯。本文通过一系列的春节独有的画面——剪窗花,贴对联,挂年画,吃饺子,看春晚,送祝福等传统活动,给我们呈现了一幕幕幸福、温馨、美满的画面。旨在让学生通过阅读来较好地体会中华民族的最重要的传统佳节——春节的种种文化习俗,从而理解它所承载的核心价值理念。

5、 Why do people stay up late on the Chinese New Year's Eve?

Give the Ss ten minutes to find the answers.Then get several Ss to answer them, explaining the language points the Ss may have problems.(听、说、读等相结合的方式更能提高阅读效率。)
Step three: group discussion
Get the Ss to discuss in groups of four :
