用任务型教学方法在小学里实施文化教学

论文摘要

文化教学对语言的影响一直是外语界普遍关心的一个问题。众所周知,语言与文化的关系密不可分。语言是文化的主要载体,文化体现在语言之中,正如人类学家克拉克洪所说,离开了文化,语言就失去了内容和意义。语言教学与文化教学是紧密相关、相辅相成的。无论是从事外语教学的老师,还是语言学家和应用语言学家,都对文化教学是外语教学中不可缺少的组成部分这一点达成了共识:仅仅教会学生一套机械的语法规则,一定数量的词汇,学生是无法无阻隔顺畅的参与到言语交际活动中的。如何在外语教学中实施文化教学已成为当今世界各国十分关注的棘手问题,也是我国外语界极为重视的一个热点问题。自教育部决定从2001年秋季在小学逐步普及英语课程以来,我国小学英语教研已经从“小学英语的必要性和可行性”发展为“如何有效实施”阶段。我国2001年《国家英语课程标准》把文化也列为教学内容与目标,并提出在起始阶段的要求是使学生对英语国家文化及中外文化的差异有粗略的了解,较高阶段的要求是扩大学生接触英语国家文化的范围,提高对文化差异的敏感性和鉴别能力,培养初步的跨文化交际能力。但是如何根据儿童的特点进行有效的实施,哪些模式可以综合使用,本文对国内较有影响的PPP和TBL两种
