《英语》：强化乡土意识和环保理念

杨洁

人教版小学PEP《英语》五年级下册第二单元执教结束，为帮助学生进一步加深对不同月份和季节的感受，增强用英语描述所闻所见的口语能力，并在这一过程中渗透爱家乡、爱环境的理念，充分体现思想政治教育的必要性和实效性，笔者组织学生开展了一场以真情实感为基础的讨论，确定以昆明的自然人文环境为主题，鼓励学生就生活在昆明的感受畅所欲言，收到了超出预期的效果。

一、为什么喜欢昆明特定的某个季节

T： Boys and girls， by the end of this unit， we all know althought the four seasons are different， each has its wonderful sights. So， in our beautiful “Spring City” Kunming， which season do you like best？ Why？

（师：同学们，学完本单元，知道了四季各有不同，但都有各自的美景。那么，在我们美丽的“春城”昆明，你最喜欢哪个季节？为什么？）

S1：I like summer best in Kunming. Because I can go swimming and eat ice cream in summer. They can make me feel really cool.

（生1：我最喜欢昆明的夏天，因为夏天可以去游泳，还可以吃冰淇淋，有一种让人很爽很爽的感觉。）

S2：I like spring best in Kunming. In spring， grasses wake up， willows turn green， flowers bloom. We can not only enjoy many kinds of pretty flowers but also can have a spring outing with classmates and go on a picnic with families.

（生2：我最喜欢昆明的春天，因为春天里，小草苏醒了，柳枝绿了，小花也开了，我们不仅可以欣赏到各式各样漂亮的花朵，还可以和同学去春游，与家人去野炊。）

S3：I like winter best in Kunming. Because in winter， We can play in the snow and people are more likely to eat hot pot with friends， this is funny.

（生3：我最喜欢昆明的冬天，因为我们可以在雪里玩耍，人们也更喜欢和朋友们吃火锅，很好玩。）

S4：My favourite season is autumn， because it is a harvest season. In autumn， the ears of rice turn yellow， the sorghum is red， the apples are ripe. I can pick apples and I can also paint outdoors.

（生4：我最喜欢秋天。因为秋天是丰收的季节，稻子黄了，高粱红了，苹果也熟透了，我不仅可以摘苹果，还可以在户外绘画写生呢。）

二、从具有昆明特色的事物引发的环保思考

T： You are right， kids. This is our beautiful hometown Kunming. It is warm throughout the year. It has blue sky， white clouds， fresh air and colorful plants. The “Spring City” Kunming is really a comfortable place to live in. As the saying goes：“every season brings its joy.” Spring， summer， autumn， winter， among the four seasons， what else can you see in Kunming？

（師：是呀，这就是我们美丽的家乡昆明，它不仅有四季如春的气候，还有蓝天、白云、新鲜的空气和五彩斑斓的花花草草，确实是宜于人类居住的地方。如同谚语所说：“春有百花秋有月，夏有凉风冬有雪。”那么，在昆明的春、夏、秋、冬四季中，你还能看到哪些风景？）

S1： In spring， lots of children go to Yuantongshan Zoo. They play games， enjoy sakura and have a picnic there.

（生1：我还看到昆明的春天，有很多小朋友去圆通山动物园玩，去玩游戏、赏樱花、野餐。）

S2： There are so many jacarandas in Kunming. They blossom in summer. When they blossom， many people will enjoy them， especially on Jiaochang Road， Wuhua District.

（生2：我还看到昆明有许多蓝花楹，它们都在夏天盛开，这个时候就会有许多人来欣赏蓝花楹，尤其是在五华区的教场路。）

S3： In the autumn of Kunming， I can see golden ginkgo leaves， red maple leaves and so on. They are really colourful and beautiful.

（生3：在昆明的秋天，还可以看到黄色的银杏叶、红色的枫叶等，各种树叶色彩斑斓，好看极了。）

S4： In the winter of Kunming， I often feed the seagulls in Haigeng Park. My family and I really enjoy the time when we live in harmony with the seagulls and the environment.

（生4：我在冬天的昆明，经常去海埂公园喂海鸥，与家人一起享受海鸥与人类和睦相处的乐趣与优美环境。）

T： Kids， you are really the person who sets mind on the lives. And you all have the eyes to find beauties. When you enjoy the beauties of nature in Kunming， have you ever thought how we can build our homeland better？ What can we do to protect our “Spring City” from pollution and harm？

（师：孩子們，你们真是生活的有心人，有一双发现美的眼睛。你们在享受昆明之美的过程中是否想过，接下来我们该如何共建家园、保持美丽的春城不被污染，不受伤害呢？）

S1： We should care about the environment. Don’t litter any where to keep the soil from being polluted.

（生1：我们要爱护环境，不乱扔垃圾，不让土壤受污染。）

S2： We should plant trees. Don’t cut casually to protect the environment.

（生2：我们要植树造林，不乱砍滥伐以保护生态。）

S3： We need green travel： take the bus or ride shared bikes more often and drive less so that we can reduce air pollution.

（生3：我们要绿色出行，少开燃油车，多乘公交车或者骑共享单车，才能减少空气污染。）

S4： We can read e-books and use recycle books to save paper and reduce cutting down the trees.

（生4：我们要多看电子书，多用循环书，才能节约用纸，减少对树木的过度砍伐。）

T： You all have great ideas and I think you can do them well. We live in Kunming， all of us have the duty to protect it. We should plant more trees， grasses and flowers to build a better homeland. We should try our best to save water，save electricity and save paper. Even more， we shouldn’t waste food and we advocate “Clean Plate Campaign” in our daily life. Only in this way， the seagulls would love Kunming， the flowers would love Kunming， the blue sky would love Kunming as before...Let’s take actions to protect Kunming. Let’s make contributions to build Kunming better. I believe， with our efforts， the “Spring City” Kunming will become more and more beautiful. Can you do it？

（师：同学们想法很好，我认为你们也做得好。我们生活在昆明，每个昆明人都有责任保护好美丽的春城，我们不仅要在多栽花种草、植树造林上共建家园，还要倡导节约用水、节约用电、节约用纸，更还要在光盘行动与反对铺张浪费上做文章，才能继续让海鸥爱上昆明，鲜花爱上昆明，蓝天爱上昆明……让我们一起共护昆明，为昆明变得更好做贡献。我相信，通过我们的努力，一定会让春城昆明越来越亮丽。你们能做到吗？）

整个讨论中，学生在寻找喜欢某个季节的理由时，很多美好的经历和回忆得到联动，诸多带有网红性质的事物，如教场路的蓝花楹、海埂公园的海鸥，更易激发学生对昆明这座城市的喜爱，对保护好昆明生态环境重要性的认同，思想政治教育功能以一种很自然的方式实现。同时，英语学习中听说读写能力的训练，尤其是口语能力的提升，得以同步完成。
