倡导任务型活动，启发探究式学习

金 山 （青海省格尔木市第二中学 816000）

引导学生由单一、单纯模仿，被动接受的学习转变为运用观察、发现、推测、理解、记忆、对比、分析、联想、归纳、内化等策略进行学习，可以启发学生动脑思考，大胆想象，提高学生的英语实践能力。

英语 课堂教学 任务型

高中英语必修教科书中，创设了大量的语言运用活动，使学生能够通过亲身的参与和实践，感悟和体验英语，进一步培养学生的语言技能，提升综合语言运用能力。与此同时，这些任务型的教学活动，也帮助教师由灌输式教学转变为启发式教学，为学生的发现和探究提供了空间。

大多数任务型活动涉及社会科学和自然科学，如信息技术、航天技术、环保、法制、文学、医学、音乐、体育、美术以及工、农、商等任务型教学内容。倡导任务型教学的目的就是让学生主动参与，自主学习，启发他们动脑思考，大胆想象，旨在激发思维，开启心智，发挥创新精神，提高实践能力.

下面我就以高中英语必修五Unit 3 Life in the future为例，谈谈任务型活动的设计，以飨读者及同行。本单元的中心话题是谈未来，内容涉及人类对今后生活环境的想象、猜测和思考。所以，任务型活动可以围绕“未来生活”这一中心话题进行设计，启发学生开展探究式学习。

该项目地下室顶板总长55.13 m，其伸缩缝间距大于规范规定的伸缩缝允许间距要求，原设计说明中要求采用跳仓法施工，以减少混凝土水化热引起的温度胀缩.但实际施工过程中采用整体一次性浇筑的方式，施工过程未设置后浇带或施工缝，地下室顶板厚度为300 mm，如此大体量混凝土养护过程中造成了内部大量的水化热，其水化热的释放过程造成混凝土明显胀缩，引起混凝土板的开裂.

我国基础教育英语新课程标准的教育理念是“倡导任务型教学模式，让学生在教师的指导下，通过感知、体验、实践、参与、合作等方式，实现任务型的目标，感受成功。”在英语教学过程中，如何合理设计任务型活动直接影响到教学的效果。因此，广大英语教师必须要在实际的教学过程中积极探索，大胆实践。只有这样，才能真正发挥任务活动的价值效用，为教学的深入实施提供助力。
