参加BC雅思官方培训总结与感想

发布时间:2015-03-30 17:03

 

  上周,我校雅思团队姚骏鹏与曾铮一夫受邀参加了雅思考试主办方英国大使馆文化教育处举办的‘雅思内部教师培训’活动。老师们参加了British Council培训后,感触很多,特归纳总结了培训内容。上海新航道学校致力于雅思教学水平的不断提高,教学管理部及时将本次培训的核心内容和全部授课教师分享,将的官方雅思培训技能和广大雅思学员分享。

  

  听力部分:

  首先,培训一开始使用游泳作为例子引入了一个简单的系统来代表目前四种学生类型。

  1. 左上代表运动能力上佳,接触过游泳,目标想要学会自由泳的(语言基础很好,熟悉雅思,需要高分)

  2. 右上代表运动能力强,但是没接触过游泳,想学会游泳(语言基础好,无雅思经验,需要高分)

  3. 左下代表运动能力一般,游泳知识丰富,想学会游泳(语言基础一般,考试技能丰富,能过就行类型)

  4. 右下代表自身运动能力差,不熟悉考试,但是想要学会自由泳的(自己语言能力与需求完全不匹配类型)

  简而言之就是因材施教,作为老师需要大致确定属于哪一类学生,再对其采取相对应的培训侧重点。

 

  学生1几乎不需要培训,稍加练习直接考试即可。学生2需要熟悉考试题型及一些常见的考试策略,如阅读的定位词使用,判断题的原则等等。学生3需要一方面训练本身的语言基础知识,同时在做题的同时熟悉题型及考试策略。学生4当天的老师建议先不接触真题,先巩固语言基础(词汇语法),然后再考虑做题。

 

  之后进行的关于雅思听力评分标准中比较值得注意的一点为:听力部分拼写错误一定会扣分,但是大小写无关紧要

 

  当天的另外一个侧重点在于课堂活动的介绍,听力的课堂活动主要围绕着听力文本进行展开。即听后如何利用好文本,以下介绍一些简单的听力课堂内可以借鉴的活动

  1. 同意替换朗读:老师提前选出文本,把其中的一些词语或词组使用同义词替换。朗读时,让学生拿着未替换过的文本把听到的进行替换的地方圈出来.

  例如:教师文本:Water was the chief power source for the early trades and some of the water wells were originally founded in 1900s, would you believe? At that time, craftsmen in the area first set up an iron forge at the back of the village here on the river bank. During the 1600s and 1700s, the region's rivers sustained over 160 water mills and many of these still operated in the nineteenth century. But with the invention of the steam engine and then the railways came and the centers of industry were able to relocate from the rivers and the rural villages into the towns.

  学生文本:Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twentieth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the region's rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centers of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns.

  圈完后再考察一遍学生关于这些词语的同意替换。

 

  2. Change and Replace活动:

  同样此活动以文本为基础展开。在听完这段文本后,要求学生将场景替换,并且根据替换的场景讲文本中的词语进行调整。例如:

  原文:

  Now I’m going to give you a plan of the site and I’d just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. I’ve already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the ticket office. You won’t need that because you’ve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shop. 3 / 20 that is where you can get copies of the guide like this one here. Now beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle.

  替换成自己家的场景后:

  Now I’m going to give you a plan of my room and I’d just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. I’ve already pointed out my huge bed, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is the comic books section. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the door. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the toys display section. You won’t need that because you’ve got your own toys, but just pass it are the fridge, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the study desk as you can see. And to the left by the door are the ornamental plants. That is where you can get model of the trees like this one here. Now beyond the plants, all the snacks are arranged in a half circle with a bottle of sugar in the middle.

  然后可以选一位同学读,其他同学听这道题换成这样的场景后,答案会发生什么样的变化。

 

  3. Encourage students to create their own questions

  顾名思义,这个活动,是给学生文本,鼓励学生基于文本,自己作为出题人出题,比如本来是一道地图题,要学生出成单句填空。选出几名学生的题目,放听力材料再尝试做学生们新出的题。这样不仅让学生熟悉了文本,也提高了听力材料的利用率。

 

  阅读部分:

  主讲老师针对阅读和听力进行了考试内容,评分标准,教学方法上的讲解,有些内容对教师的启发还是很大的。在阅读考试信息方面,官方强调了以下三个方面:

  (1)阅读的难度和文章长度不会变难,变长。

  有许多同学轻易听信其他渠道列如网络的非官方消息,认为雅思阅读由于越来越多考生获得高分,会提升难度。官方表示,这是很不负责任的说法。每年BC在题目研发,测试,审核上花巨大的资本和时间去开发,不会轻易在短期提升难度和长度。

 

  (2)一些比较容易出现的做题规律,会进行适当调整

  这里所谓的做题规律,我个人认为就是我们培训机构一直宣传的“技巧”。我觉得BC做这样的调整原因有二:,官方认为技巧掌握得太多会影响语言能力测试,违背考试意图,自然需要规避。第二,市面上充斥着太多的“机经”,官方必须快速更换新题来避免机经的冲击,这其他包括了做题规律。但是核心考察的能力不会变,比如浏览和扫读。

 

  (3)希望培训机构更多从学生的兴趣和英语能力出发。

  这点也非常符合新航道的教学理念“”。目前市场上的培训机构大多从技巧方面着手提高学生分数,但是这是违背雅思阅读考察的目的的,自然最终的结果也不会特别理想。官方特别喜欢ESL的教学方式来引导学生自学语言,因为雅思学术考试的针对目标群体是有“自学能力”的人,当我们的学生还不具备这个能力,是不适合考雅思的。

 

  从阅读教学上,官方也向我们各位老师展示了许多有用的课堂活动,在这里我想就小标题配对,展示一个主讲老师采用的课堂活动:

  准备:一篇难度稍大的小标题配对文章和题目,因为之后需要同学们合作,考虑难度稍大,太简单不利于思考。将所有文章的段落做成卡片,打乱。讲headings做成卡片,打乱。

  步:将同学分组,每一组选一个段落,讨论段落大意,派一个组员写在白板上。

  第二步:在一组heading中选出符合本组写的段落大意,查看两者意思有何不同的地方。或者让所有同学将白板上的和真实heading进行匹配。

  第三步:将段落进行配对。

  这个课堂活动的目的非常明确:锻炼学生段落信息配对的敏感度,但是降低了课堂单纯练习的枯燥性,同时又提高了学生之间的交流,更培养了学生总结句子,和表达能力。英语的课堂教学更应回归本源:高能才会高分。
