浅谈英文歌曲在英语教学中的运用
作者：丛爱农
Policeman felt alone and confused
Father “this is for the best”
Mother “we’ll teach them how to live a proper life”
Archie “go and get their dad!”
3､让学生双人活动,给第一段歌词排序,然后听第一段歌词,核对答案;
(1)Set us up on mission land
(2)This story’s right, this story’s true / I would not tell lies to you
(3)Snatched from their mother’s breast / Said “this is for the best”
(4)Like the promises they did not keep / And how they fenced us in like sheep
(5)Said to us “come take our hand”
(6)Then they took the children away / Took the children away/The children away
(7)Took them away
(8)Taught us to read, to write and pray
[答案：(2),(4),(5),(1),(8),(6),(3),(7) ]
4､让学生听二到七段,做填词练习｡现节选第三段如下:
come
One dark day on Framingham falldown
came__and didn’t give a damn
My mother__cried__“go get their dad” tell
He came running__,fighting madgrow up
Mother＇s tears werefalling down__tear apart
Dad shaped up and__stood____his ground
He said“You touch my kids and you fight me” take care
And then they__took__us from our family run
They took us away, took us away
Snatched__from our mother’s breast stand
Said“this is for the best” say
took us away snatch
5､学生课后上网查询“Australian Policy of Assimilation”并交流｡歌词读起来琅琅上口,唱起来娓娓动听｡学生在视听英语歌曲的过程中,深深地受着文化的熏陶,由此获得的认识､情感,必将迁移到以后的英语学习中去,产生不可低估的作用｡
四､改写英文歌曲,提高写作能力
高中英语新课标要求学生从简单的语言输出上升到利用语言做事,并能根据自己的体验和感受,运用多种词汇､语句和文体写出具有个性的文章,近年各省市高考作文题都注意考查学生的语言实际运用能力,如今年的湖南卷要求考生展开想象,将英文短诗改写为一篇短文“My Teacher Mr. Moore”｡改写是一种被广泛采用的语言教学手段,它的目的在于让学生广泛地了解和学习各种不同类型和风格的文章,如要求学生把学过的短文改写成对话､把对话改写成短文､把说明文改写成记叙文等｡让学生根据英文歌曲进行改写练习,可以让学生自己去欣赏､品味､关注､思考歌曲内容,激发他们的写作兴趣,使其有话可写,有感而发,还能增强其写作信心,使其写作能力､技巧得到提高｡
