【编者按】为什们很多老师对“大道理”有厌恶感？因为那些“道理”太大、太抽象、太空洞，无骨无肉，不能解决教学中的实际问题。相反，老师们比较喜欢教学上的“点子”和“小技巧”，因为它们接地气，很具体，一学就会。教学上的“点子”即英语的“technique”,对提高教学效益是有很大帮助的，我们不要小看。教学上的“点子”程序和步骤简单，因此易学，可操作性强。

由于工作关系，我每年都要听大量的英语课。听课的时候，教学上的“点子”是我关注的内容之一，以便传递给其他老师学习。

【案例描述】

2018年我到河北省一所高中参观学习，有幸听了一节高三英语复习课。这节课给我印象深刻，原因是执教教师复习词汇的方式与众不同。他是这么做的：

1. 首先在黑板上列出本节课要复习的重点词汇，分三组给学生进行训练；
2. 然后，教师口头说出包含有这些词汇的句子；
3. 接着，让学生或个人，或集体跟着教师说这些句子；
4. 最后，学生分组用黑板上的词汇，通过查阅词典造句，小组选出代表展示所造的句子。

【妙在何处？】

1.“单词放在句子里，又会用来又易记。”教师突出词汇学习和复习的语境化，这是很有效的词汇教学方法；

2.精心组合要复习的词汇，帮助学生构建词汇的网络。例如：教师把“include”“including”归为一组；把“decide”“decision”“determined”“determination”列为一组；把“excite”“excited”“exciting”“excitement”分为一组，最大限度地强化了词汇的记忆与活用；

3.通过让学生口头跟着念的方式培养学生的语感，强化记忆。这种诵读方式与语言大师林语堂先生倡导的理念不谋而合：“英语学习唯一的正轨，不出熟诵与仿效。”

4.让学生分组造句，并在课堂上展示句子，凸显“Learning by doing”的教学理念。合作学习，与人分享，按照“金字塔学习理论”是很能够促进学习之后的保留率的。

5.“有声音”是语言的一个重大特征，教师通过简单具体的步骤使词汇复习与口语训练有机融合，促进学生对语言保持良好的感觉;

6.这节课老师几乎没有说一句汉语，是一节有味道的英语课。

7.教师的例句很妙，地道，学生造的句子也很精彩。我们仔细品味之后会发现这么一个道理：课堂语言、训练的内容其“性价比”很重要。

执教这节课的教师一定记不得我了，但他的课给我的印象极为深刻。
