高职英语“课程思政”教学是高职思想政治教育工作的现实需要,也是高职英语课程建设与发展的必然要求。落实高职英语“课程思政”教学实践,授课教师需要深入挖掘教材,发现思政教育元素,明确课程思政教学目标,注重课堂教学设计,在教学实践中总结经验启发教学。
一、研究背景
习近平总书记2016年在全国高校思想政治工作会议上强调,要用好课堂教学这个主渠道,各类课程都要与思想政治理论课同向同行,形成协同效应。
二、必要性
(一)现实需要
培养什么样的人,如何培养人以及为谁培养人,是各个院校的人才培养方案中都必须涉及到的问题。大学生处于知识体系,思维方式和价值观念的形成时期,易受各种现象、观点、言论、思想的影响,这就要求教师在课堂教学中,不仅要传授知识和方法,还要做好思想引导和价值引领。推进课堂思政,要求每位老师,每门课程,每个课堂都发挥育人作用,从而实现立德树人的根本任务。
(二)必然要求
公共英语课程不仅是一门语言基础课,还兼有语言的工具性和教育的人文性,具有受众覆盖面广,授课学时长,跨度范围广,教学内容丰富等特点,这些特点使其成为隐形课程思政的重要组成部分,成为潜移默化提高学生人文素养,思想觉悟和文化自信的重要阵地,也成为全员育人,全程育人,全方位育人的先锋阵地。
三、教学设计
本案例立足于公共基础英语课堂的教学实践,以中国传统食文化为主要实践内容,利用信息化教学平台,引导学生在日常生活中形成注重礼仪的好习惯。
现以《新编实用英语综合教程2》第五版第2单元food(食物)section II Listening(听力)部分为例来进行教学设计。教学步骤分为以下几步:
Step I Lead-in 导入
Show some wonderful pictures about delicious food.
(呈现一些美味食物的图片,由此吸引学生的兴趣,直接进入我们的主题--食物。)
Step II Food culture 食文化
Divide the class into 6-8 groups, the students in each group collect information about delicious food according to their own interests, either major Chinese cuisines or local flavor.
(课前预习时,将班级分成6-8小组,各小组成员根据自己的喜好搜集关于美食的资料,可以是著名菜系可以是特色小吃。)
The students or representative of each group share the information about the food using simple words, other students in other groups write down or repeat key words.
(各小组成员或者小组代表用简单的英语词汇分享自己或本组搜集的信息,其他组成员记录或者复述关键词。)
Examples:(例:)
Shandong cuisine: seafood; pure; not greasy; shallots and garlic(葱和蒜)
Guangdong cuisine: light; crisp; fresh; strange foods
Sichuan cuisine: hot pepper; cooking fish; high humidity;many rainy
Jiangsu cuisine(Huaiyang cuisine):fish; freshness; carving technique; sweet; light
教师总结:中国幅员辽阔,地大物博,传承我们美味的食文化,品味独具特色的风味小吃是多么惬意的事情啊。(思政元素:由此可以引导学生传承中华优秀食文化,培养文化自信。)
Step III Sentences 句子
1) I want a table for 4 at 6:00 this evening.
2) Is there a seafood restaurant nearby?
3) Could I have the menu and the wine list?
4) Would you like anything to drink?
5) Could I take your order, please?
6) What’s your special today?
7) What do you recommend?
8) How much is the service charge?
9) Is it necessary to tip the waiters?
10) Bring me the bill, please
See if students can read the vocabulary correctly; deal with the vocabulary together.(学习词汇。
)
Read the sentences and see if they have any problems.(读句子。)
Deal with the problems if they have.(解决其他困难词汇。)
Read these sentences carefully by themselves.(学生仔细读句子。)
Check students’ reading.(检查学生读句子。)
Close their books and listen to the audio and try to write these sentences. (合上书本,听音频,写句子。)
Ask 5 students to write these sentences on the blackboard, the rest students will write all the sentence on the pieces of paper.
(5名学生到黑板上写句子,其他学生写在纸上。)
Open the books,check answers by themselves first, and then we’ll check together.(打开书本,核对答案。)
Read all the sentences together as consolidation.(齐读句子,巩固。)
Let’s have a look at all these sentences, they are expressed in a polite way. We should know that it is necessary to be polite and behave well when we have meals.
融入思政教育:观察所有句子,它们都以礼貌的方式进行交流。我们需要知道当我们进餐时,注意文明礼貌很有必要。
Step IV Dialogue 对话
Listen to a dialogue and decode the message by finding out the correct choices in the brackets according to what you have heard.
(听对话,根据所听到的内容,选择正确的选项。)
Elicit answers from students, and then play the audio again to check answers.(引导学生给出答案,再次听音频,核对答案。)
Ask students to read the short passage by themselves, and then read together.(学生自读短文,然后齐读。)
Present the original dialogue, students read by themselves.
(呈现对话原文,学生练习对话。)
Drills the dialogue in groups.(分组练习对话原文。)
Script:
Kim: Where’s our food? The service in this place is really slow.
Dan: They seem to be very busy today. I’m sure the waitress didn’t forget our order.
Kim: I’ve got to ask her to hurry things up. I’m thinking of never coming to this restaurant again.
Dan: Relax, Kim. We’re not in a hurry. Our food should be here soon.
(A few minutes later)
Kim: Waitress. What happened to our order?
Waitress: It will be ready any minute, sir.
Kim: What’s holding it up? I gave you our order over twenty minutes ago.
Waitress: I’m sorry. We’re very busy.
Kim: I hate to complain, but we’re on our lunch hour. Do you think you could speed things up?
Waitress: I’ll do my best, sir.
教师总结:同学们可能也遇到过类似的经历,那个时候的你,是不是也很生气?很气愤?但我们换个角度想一想,如果此时的等待是为了即将来到的美味,心情是不是好多了?保持平和的心情,用温和的态度对待服务员,让自己和大家都能在愉悦的环境中就餐,这应该是一件美满的事情。
课后任务:将学习通平台上发布的音视频中听到的与饮食相关的词,句子写出来。
在本堂课中,学生练习了句子和对话,但是学生课前任务--了解中国的食文化,也许传承美食文化,培养文化自信都在这个过程中渐渐滋生,这是一种思政教育;课中句子和对话练习中,都体现出“礼貌”的重要性,这也是一种思政教育。因此,高职公共英语课程思政教学改革的基本思路是将课程知识与能力的要求融入教学项目中,通过学生直接参与教学项目的全过程,实现以学生为中心,以项目为中心的转变。
