新课程下高中英语语法教学的新思路 教学实例

NSEFC BOOK7 Unit5 Attributive & non-attributive clauses
语境感受与
初步认知 Task1.
1. To answer the following questions, please underline the relevant details/sentences in the reading passage;
①. How old is Xie Lei? What is she in England for? How long has she been in England?
②. What are some of the difficulties she faced when she first came to England?
③. What is the benefit of boarding with an English family?
④. What did the tutor expect from her essay?
2. 学生从结构形态、意义和功能的角度分析回答了上述问题的句子,并作尝试性的假设;
3. 教师在PPT上呈现参考答案,并对目标语法项目突出显示。
Suggested answers:
①. Xie Lei, who is 21 years old, has come to our university to study for a business qualification. She is halfway through the preparation year, which most foreign students complete before applying for a degree course.
②. “It’s not just study that’s difficult. You have to get used to a whole new way of life, which can take up all your concentration in the beginning,” explained Xie Lei, who had lived all her life in the same city in China.
③. Xie Lei lives with a host family who give her lots advice. … Living with host families,
in which there may be other college students, gives her the chance to learn more about the new culture. “When I hear an idiom that I don’t understand, I can ask my host family for help,” explains Xie Lei.
④. He wanted to know what I thought, which confused me because…
注:NSEFC BOOK7 Unit5的阅读课文有大量含目标语法项目的句式,笔者设置了上面的阅读任务。学生在完成读的任务同时,找出含目标语法项目的语句,进而通过教师的引导分析这几句话的句子结构,并按结构进行比较和分类。采用发现式的引导,让学生在语篇提供的情境中体会和领悟语法规则,并尝试性的总结限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句的形式、意义和功能;学生有了体验和思考的过程后再师生合作归纳出的语法规则,学生就有相对深刻的理解,并为说或写的语言运用奠定了基础。
形式操练与
对比讲解 Task2.
Look at the following sentences, some of which needs commas. Insert them and try to give reasons.
1. Mark Twain who was a famous American author wrote The Million Pound Bank Note.
2. The birdcages some of which were in poor condition were sold by the shopkeeper at half price.
3. Joan passed her exam which surprised me a great deal.
4. The minibus which I usually take on the campus had an accident yesterday.
5. Shenzhou-V which was sent into space on October 15th, 2003 was China’s first manned spaceships.
6. The dogs all of which were small and white with long hair barked loudly.
7. The battery to which the robots were connected failed to work last night.
注:此练习选自NSEFC教材,略有改编,共7句话,每一句都有(模拟)生活内容的对应,涉及2个限定性定语从句和5个非限定性定语从句,注重两类定语从句在形式、意义和功能方面的比较。这5个非限定性定语从句涵盖了需要使用这种从句的典型情况,如先行词为专有名词、先行词为关系代词前的整个句子等;可见,此练习设计能体现认知性和应用性的双重特征,有利于深化对语法的理解,学生获得语法经验。
模拟情景与
运用语言 Task 3.
Please describe the pictures, using which/that/who/whose/when/where

Yushu, which, that, where, 14/4, whose, when
( ● 后所列部分学生的造句,有改动)
 A major earthquake shook Yushu, which is a county in Qinghai province.
 An earthquake which/that measured 7.1 degrees struck Yushu on April 14th.
 Yushu, where live a lot of Zang minority people,was ruined by a 7.1 earthquake on April 14th.
 April 14th was a nightmare for Yushu people, whose homes were destroyed by the earthquake.
 People will never forget the day April 14th, when they lost their homes and relatives in the earthquake.

Soldiers, survivors, rescue, pray, who, whose
 Soldiers, who are loyal to people, are always the first to rush the quake-hit area to carry out the rescue work.
 A young man, who is probably a local resident, is helping with the rescue.
 Soldiers are racing against time to search for survivors who/that are buried under the ruins.
 A crying woman is holding a little boy, who is probably her grandson.
 A heart-broken woman is praying for her family, who are still under the ruins.
 A little boy whose eyes are full of tears looks sad and frightened.

Tents, which, that, where, students in Xuzhou, who
 The government sent to Yushu a lot of tents, which provided shelter for the survivors.
 People put up many tents, where they can stay in the night.
 Donations like tents are rushed to the earthquake-hit area, which is a great comfort and help to the victims.
 Some students who are holding candles stand in the form of a heart to express their concern for Yushu people.
注:六幅图片取材于网络,关联大家都熟悉的事件和人物,教师用多媒体一子把情境带进了课堂,教师无需过多的言语,在图片旁边打上关键词,让学生看着图片用定语从句说话。情境教学以其独特的优势把语法课堂一下子活跃了起来,学生发言积极,思维活跃。
朗读

背诵 Task4.
1. Based on picture-talking in Task3, in a group, write a short passage (6-8 sentences), including attributive and non-attributive clauses with who/that/which/whose/where/when.
2. Peer-editing and presentation on the projector
3. Recite the teacher-edited copy of the passage:
(下面是一小组的作文,已经教师加工,所用到的定语从句用斜体突显)
① On April 14th, when people began their day’s life at about 7:49 AM as usual, Yushu, a county in Qinghai Province, was shaken by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which came as a huge shock to people throughout the country. ② Almost all the buildings lay in ruins, but not all hope was lost. ③ PLA soldiers, who are always loyal to people and put people’s interests in the first place, reacted quickly and rushed to Yushu to carry out the rescue work. ④ Some local people who suffered the loss of home and relatives were so strong-willed as to help with the search, and it was a touching scene to see. ⑤ A lot of tents/shelters were put up for the survivors whose homes had been destroyed. ⑥ Medical supplies which/that were donated by many companies arrived just in time with doctors and other specialists. ⑦ People who cannot help on the site, like some students in Xuzhou, also expressed their concern and prayed for Yushu victims. ⑧ It is a great relief and inspiration for Yushu people that all the nationalities stick together and stand by them to face up to the major disaster..
注:有了学生在Task3说的准备,教师顺水推舟,引导学生“我手写我口”,把说的语句落实到书面,提高语言使用的准确性,继而把自己的得意之作背诵熟记于心,升华语言学习的过程,促就语感和语言运用自动化的形成。

2009年安徽省高考新题型“任务型读写”初探


灵璧一中高中英语组 • 234200 • 杨捷
2009年是安徽省实行新课程改革以后的高考“元年”,英语科增添了“任务型读写”,这是《2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试安徽省英语科考试说明》(以下简称《考试说明》)中最明显的变化。依据《考试说明》,该题型采用“短文+表格”的形式,考查学生对所读短文的有效信息进行筛选、整合和综合概括的能力。要求考生在阅读理解的基础上,对阅读信息进行二次加工,归纳要点,整合零散信息,并根据表格的形式把加工后的信息准确有序地表达出来。
一、“任务型读写”的命题特点
以下是《考试说明》中的样题:
四:考查写作
(一) 任务型读写
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在文章后的填上恰当的单词。注意:表格中的每个空格只填1个单词。
The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons. 50 others left because the lines were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6:00 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors(捐献者). But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers.
The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration(登记) and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints(品脱) of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes.
Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours.
“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha, the blood center donor organizers. “Many donors fail to see the importance of what they’re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can those who receive blood.”
Title Blood Drive at Civic Centre
(1) ____________ The Civic Centre
Number of people who donated blood About (2) ___
Reasons why part of the people present didn’t give blood ● (3) in the medical test
● Waiting too long
Process ● Fill out the donor registeration and screening form.
●Wait for their (4) _________ to give blood
●Give blood
(5) of blood one person gives One pint at a time
(6) for people who have given blood ● Don’t lift heavy things within 12 hours
● Leave the pressure bandage on for 2 – 3 hours.
● (7) smoking for not less than 30 minutes
● Don’t perform any laborious activity for a (8) day
People’s (9) towards the blood drive Enthusiastic, positive and concerned
(10) of donating blood ●Saving other people’s lives
●Contributing to a more harmonious society
答案:1. Place/Where 2. 200 3. Failing/Failure 4. turns 5. Amount/Quantity 6. Instructions/Tips/Suggestions/Advice 7.Avoid/No 8. whole 9. attitude(s) 10. Importance/Meaning/Significance
通过分析样题,可看出“任务型读写”的命题有如下特点:
1.样题采用“短文+表格”的形式。重点考查学生语篇理解、信息转化及书面表达能力,是读写结合的综合题型。考生要把握文章的篇章结构、主题要义和重要细节,分析主题要义与重要细节间的关系及细节内部之间的关系,还要文表结合、斟字酌句准确表达。整体上遵循从输入(读短文)到输出(填表格)的语言学习规律。
2.样题选材符合学生阅读理解及书面表达水平。短文300字左右。表格内共设10个小题,考查篇章结构主题要义的有1、5、6、9、10等五个,考查重要细节的有2、3、4、7、8等,也是五个。
3.样题答题不苛求答案的唯一性,同一内容可用不同的字词来表达。样题的10个小题中有多达6个小题给2—4可接受为正确的答案。这样有利于学生水平的发挥。

二、“任务型读写”的解题策略

从命题内容看,“任务型读写”融合了字、词、句、篇、文体等多层次的要求;其意图是促进学生发展综合运用语言的能力。从《考试说明》下发以来的教学的实践看,答好这类题需要行之有效的策略。

1. 理解语篇,梳理文脉,概括要义

从宏观上看,理解语篇是从整体上理解文章主题(theme)和各段大意(topic)。学生需调动头脑中已有的内容图式(content schemata)和形式图式(formal schemata)并运用思维与语篇交互作用,辨明主旨与细节。从较早采用此类题型的江苏等省的经验看,该题选材多为说明文和议论文。短文结构完整,文脉清晰,层次分明。学生可利用有关不同体裁文章的文体知识提高阅读时的针对性。如,若文章是说明文(exposition),那么它的主题是什么?作者用什么方式、从那几个方面进行介绍、说明的?作者有没有提出什么建议或说明会产生什么后果?如果文章是议论文(argumentation),那么文章的论点是什么?作者用什么方法、从哪几方面进行论的?如果是叙述文(narration),那么5W(when,where, who ,what, why)的信息是阅读是关注的中心!
样题的短文选材从整体上看为叙述文,叙述“a blood drive today at the Civic Center”,其中夹杂说明文字。第2、3段介绍说明献血流程和注意事项时,语篇衔接词的使用使得文脉清晰:The first thing the donors had to do… When they finished filling out the form,… Before leaving,…。通篇把握可知:第1段,综述a blood drive at the Civic Center,交代了时间、地点、人物、事件等信息;第2、3段介绍说明献血流程和注意事项;第4段,引用活动组织者的话说明捐血的重大意义。
值得一提的是,利用表格,文表结合也是理解文章的结构好办法:表格分左右两列,归纳概括各段大意的关键字词居左列;而具体要点和细节则在右列。
2. 归纳总结,整零聚散,列队排序
有了宏观的把握后,接下来要整合零散细节,分辨细节的功能,理顺细节与主题大意、细节与细节之间的逻辑关系。样题表格的第4、5、7、9行左列的大意分别有2-4个平行的支持细节,表格中用●示意:
Reasons why part of the people present didn’t give blood ● (3) in the medical test
● Waiting too long
Process ● Fill out the donor registeration and screening form.
●Wait for their (4) _________ to give blood
●Give blood
(6)_____ for people who have given blood ● Don’t lift heavy things within 12 hours
● Leave the pressure bandage on for 2 – 3 hours.
● (7) ________ smoking for not less than 30 minutes
● Don’t perform any laborious activity for a (8) _____ day
(10) _______of donating blood ●Saving other people’s lives
●Contributing to a more harmonious society
3. 前呼后应,左顾右盼,斟字酌句
从完成任务角度说,如果第1、2步的理解是基础的话,那么准确表达出来就是关键了。准确表达依赖前呼后应,左顾右盼的眼神和斟字酌句的语言功底。“前呼后应、左顾右盼”,即以先纵向后横向的方式读表,再回读短文,“斟字酌句”,力求表达对称准确。
纵向看样题表格 “Title→(10) _______of donating blood”,缺词空格处填名词为宜,且需大写首字母;“● (3) in the medical test→●Contributing to a more harmonious society”,缺词处填动词为宜,也要大写首字母;再细一步,“● (3) in the medical test”与 “● Waiting too long”平行,可知(3) 填动词的-ing形式;“● Don’t lift heavy things within 12 hours,● Leave the pressure bandage on for 2 – 3 hours.,● (7) smoking for not less than 30 minutes,● Don’t perform any laborious activity for a (8) day”四者平行,故 (7) 填动词的原形。所填词的大小写,动词形态,名词的单复数等细节往往决定答题成败。
横向看表格,每行的左右两列形成互推关系以第8行为例,如下图所示:
● Don’t lift heavy things within 12 hours
(6)_____ for people ● Leave the pressure bandage on for 2 – 3 hours.
who have given blood ● (7) ________ smoking for not less than 30 minutes
● Don’t perform any laborious activity for a (8) ____day
从右向左,可推知 (6)_____内填 Instructions/Tips/Suggestions/Advice才是概括这四个细节的恰当措辞;从左向右看,“● (7) ________ smoking for not less than 30 minutes”和其它3个同为支持细节,回到原文查读到“Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. …”,字句推敲,加工处理可知 (7) ________填 Avoid再好不过了。又如,表格中第4行,要完成 “● (3) in the medical test”,文字加工的语言表达技能有更高要求,需要完全理解“Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons.”后重新组织语言。
三、结语
“任务型读写”这一新题型在我省采用,对广大师生提出了新的目标和要求。然而,只要大家在平时学习中,尤其在课文学习时,将培养阅读技能与语言知识学习并重;练习时多揣摩、多实践答题技巧,就有足够的信心在高考中灵活地运用知识,展现技能。

关键词:茶馆问题 写作教学 合作学习 语法错误 教师角色 情感因素
导言:
人教版 SEFC 教材的教学目标是:在义务教育初中英语教学的基础上,使学生巩固和扩大基础知识,发展听、说、读、写的基本技能,使他们在学习英语的过程中,促进心智、情感态度、学习策略、文化意识的发展,形成正确的人生观世界观和价值观, 整体提高人文素养。写作是学生综合运用语言能力的体现, 高中英语教学应注重写的训练,培养和提高学生的书面表达能力。弗劳尔和海斯(Flower & Hayes)认为写作过程是一种复杂的、有目标的、循环往复的活动, 包括计划、述写和复查三个子过程。作者在写作前必须对材料进行剪裁,安排,重新组织并确立目标;然后把思维转换成文字;最后对写出的东西加以重审。该理论指出:在写作过程中,教师的角色就是给学生营造一个轻松,自由,支持性的写作氛围;并通过多样化的写作活动,让他们在反复的写作与修改中开拓思路,完善文章内容;学生对想要表达的内容的认识是由模糊,不完整逐渐过渡到相对完整和清晰的。英语学习中的听,说,读,写是一个有机的整体,然而目前高中英语教学对写作训练重视不够,教学效率低下。写作训练的加强要提高写作教学效率:1. 促进学生主动学习,提高学生学习写作的兴趣和参与度,让各类学生都能亲身经历合作学习和知识建构的过程;2. 更新写作教学观念,优化写作教学过程,促进学生有效地学习。
基于这种认识,笔者采用正在试验中的“茶馆问题”并且鼓励学生进行合作学习,口语和写作的结合,使得学生有目的的进行写作训练。茶馆问题(Teashop Questions)已经进行了进三个月,三个高一班级参加,人数达到 240 人左右,本文是对我们这阶段的写作教学实践的总结和反思。
一、背景介绍:
1.“茶馆问题”(Teashop Questions )的概念:
“茶馆问题”,顾名思义,就是取“茶馆”的意思,给学生创造一个比较宽松放松的氛围,不给学生“学习”的感觉和压力,具体实施过程也不复杂,即教师每周一次给学生三个话题,其中一个话题依据教材学习进度,与单元话题相结合,或者和单元的语言交际项目相结合,让学生在业余时间,在比较轻松的环境下合作学习相互交流,并各自写出谈话要点(Summary)。比如,其中一次话题是:
1. The National College Entrance Examination is coming soon, so what are you going to say to Senior Three students?(结合时事)
2. Do you want to be a farmer in the future? (结合高一第19单元话题)
3. Do you believe there is a God or not? why or why not? ( 结合中西文化差异)
还有一次是;
1. Tomorrow is Children's Day, what do you think of today's kidult? (结合时事)
2. How to be a better learner /Father /Mother? (要求学生必须使用高一21单元刚刚学过的动名词或不定式进行谈论,比如 It is a good idea to ..., There is no point in doing ..., Try to ..., try not to ...)
3. What do you think of my class? Any suggestions?(师生交流的有效方式)
2. 这种形式的可行性:
(1)在初中英语学习的基础上,学生掌握了基本的语言知识:认知 1200 个左右常用单词和短语,了解了简单的句型结构;并在口头和书面上具有了初步的语言运用能力.高一应是继续充实学生语言知识,进一步提高和发展语言表达能力的重要阶段,为高中三年乃至以后的英语学习打下坚实基础。“茶馆问题”是训练学生口头和书面语言表达能力的结合;由于学生谈话结果最终要落实到笔头,老师及时评估反馈,这对提高学生的“书面表达”能力定有裨益。
(2)由于条件限制,我校实行大班教学,每班 70-100 人,课堂活动检查面窄,效率低,学生利用闲暇 15-20 分钟时间谈论“茶馆问题”完全可行。
(3)相比高二高三,学生作业负担少点,课余时间充足点。对于这样的活动形式,比较有积极性,教师也有时间及时反馈和总结。
提示:茶馆问题是口语训练与写作训练的结合,但我们的落脚点是提高学生的“写作”暨书面表达。我们觉得对于中学生来说,更适合作为写作的训练活动。至少在我们这个地区学校,学生的写作和书面表达能力特别需要关注和提高。
二 具体实施:
1. 学生在班级内部,自己寻找“口语伙伴”。
2. 教师布置任务,提出要求:
(1)学生要主动去和“口语伙伴”取得联系,约好时间地点,每周一次;
(2)谈话后进行笔头的总结谈话内容(Summary);
(3)笔头总结必须体现是两个人的谈话,有两个人的观点,不是一个人的“独白”;
(4)写作时尽量采用第三人称;
(5)交代教师的对茶馆问题的评价标准 。
3. 学生结对活动;
4. 学生以书面作业的形式,反馈“茶馆问题”的谈话结果;
5. 教师评估作业;
6. 评估后的作业,反馈给学生;
7. 学生针对问题,改进重写。
在此过程中,学生获得了自主学习和相互交流的机会,鼓励学生通过体验,实践,合作,探究等方式,发展了说与写的能力;教师的角色就是:教学活动的组织者(Organizer), 帮助者(Facilitator),指导者(Instructor)评价者(Commentator)。
三、情况分析:
1. 同性异性伙伴的问题:
我们刚开始做的时候,要求学生最好寻找异性“口语伙伴”,但是因为班级男女生的比例不均衡,所以在具体操作时候大部分同学只有选择同性“口语伙伴”;实际结果来看,异性伙伴的效果要好一些。
2. 学生对教师提出的要求的理解和把握有偏差:
(1)有的学生把短文(Summary) 写成了两个人的对话形式;
(2)学生没有明白当时的谈话是两个人的交流,总结为 Summary 的时候应该体现两个人的观点,结果有的学生只是写了自己的观点;
(3)没有认真对待活动,书写不够认真;
3. 教师对茶馆问题作业的评估和反馈问题:
(1)以分数的形式还是以 A、B、C、D 等级的方式给予评价?
(2)从哪些方面给予评价:语法、内容、结构……
(3)语法错误怎么处理?
我们当时的做法:
(1)不评分,不对学生出现的语法错误评等级;
(2)着重语法错误,逐一指出。
4. 语法问题的反思:
(1)语法学习有一个时间上的渐进过程,有的语法高一学生只是见过,比如虚拟语气,高二才正式涉及,这个时候的批改是非常没有效率的。
(2)语法的学习过程不是“直线型”的,而是交错的,有层次的,动态的,甚至有时候会出现暂时的“倒退”现象;这种倒退不一定是“退步”而是学生 Interlanguage 的反映,针对学生的不同个体有不同的表现形式,不能一概而论;
(3)英语教师要准确把握每个学生的语法进展是不可能的;
(4)在给学生的作文评价的时候,模糊的语言比如“时态不好”并不能够避免学生以后不犯同样的错误,学生重复出现同样的错误是正常的。
四、我们的对策:
1. 重新确定评价标准,并向学生作出解释:
A. Topic sentence 4 分 B. Grammar 7 分 C. Content 8 分 D. Structure 3 分 E. Handwriting 3 分。 满分是 25 分(和高考的书面表达一致)各项分数分别为这样做较接近高考的“书面表达”的评分办法,告诉学生要科学看待得分,总得分要看,更要看各分项得分,明白自己的长短,以便有针对的提高。
2. 不定期的进行语法的总结,结合学生在“茶馆问题”中出现的错误,进行总结归纳分类,让学生知道出现错误的原因和改正办法,并辅以针对性的练习;比如,我们进行了“时态”的专题,辅助练习是2006年安徽高考英语试卷的书面表达题,此题综合地使用了“过去”“现在”“将来”的三种时态,有助于学生在书面表达时候有“时态”变化意识。
3. 鉴于上面的评价标准,不只是关注学生语法,应更多的关注学生文章的内容和结构(见下),表扬具有创意的同学(设立最佳创意奖),因为教学中我们发现如果我们的评价是针对学生文章的内容和结构的话(具体见下),学生更加注意从整体上把握;但如果采用片面强调语法的批改方式,学生比较容易受到打击;《课程标准》明确指出“在英语教学中教师应该自治至终关注学生的情感,努力营造宽松,民主,和谐的教学氛围”。片面强调学生语法的问题,不利于学生在学习中培养积极的情感态度。
评价标准 1 2 3 4
内容:

(Content) : Use of Description
(描述性语言的使用) Topic Sentence (主题句有没有) Focus (一段里有没有重点要说明一个问题) Use of facts and experience ( 使用事实和经验作为论据)
结构组织:

( Organization) Logic development of ideas and arguments (结构的发展和逻辑层次) Effectiveness of introduction and conclusion (首段开头和末段结尾的方式是否有效) Transitional Word between sentences (句子和句子间是否使用关联词) The flow of language (读起来是否流畅,表达是否简明)
4. 利用网络的力量,抽出有代表性的学生的文章,通过电子邮件发给英语为母语的英语教学专家(因为我们学校近年来先后邀请十几位外国教学专家到我校讲学,甚至举办全英语的暑假夏令营,我们和他们之间一直保持着网络联系)评价批改,并把学生的“茶馆问题”作业和外教批改后的作文打印及时反馈给学生,并且放在我们的英语教学网站上(www.tcsol.com.cn) 家庭有上网条件的学生可以参考。
其中一次反馈讲义如下(括号内斜体字是我们对外籍专家修改后文章的注解,以便对学生启发引导) :
Teashop Talk
Summer is finally coming. What a extremely hot weather! On a special hot day, Children's Day, Li Yang–my partner and I had a funny talk with cool drinks.
Summer has finally arrived, and the weather is extremely hot! So, on this special hot day, Children's Day, my partner, Li Yang, and I had a funny talk with cool drinks. (Introductory paragraph)
We began the talk with the question about Gaokao(College Entrance exam), Li said she would like to inspire her Xuege(male senior student) or Xuejie to be happy and confident, and wish them a good luck. For me I would encourage them to hold on to win this serious and cruel game. Otherwise, I might warn them that without a high score they would certainly be watching the World Cup with a garrulous mother.
We began our talk with the question concerning Gaucho (Topic Sentence), the college entrance exam. Li said that she would like to inspire senior students to be happy and confident and to wish them good luck. I would encourage them to stay focused so that they can win this serious and cruel game. Otherwise (Transitional words), they won't earn a high score and will certainly be watching the World Cup with a garrulous mother! (I like the word “garrulous” but it just means talkative—do you want to say that she will be angry, too?)
Nobody knows whether there exists a God or not. However, I insisted on the existence of the God, and I was sure I had felt him. because I could always get through hardship that beyonded my ability. It's certain that God's helping me, yet Li did not believe there's God, so she said a person's destiny was controlled by ourselves.
In response to the question about whether God exists or not(Topic Sentence), Li and I disagreed. I think that although no one knows if God exists or not, I have felt him. He has helped me get through hardships that would have otherwise been beyond my ability(虚拟语气的使用难度非常大). I am certain that God helps me. However(Transitional words ), Li does not believe that there is a God; she believes that people are in control of their own destiny.(注意这个段落的时态变化)
5. 鼓励课外阅读,加大语言输入:
让我们先援引克拉申的一段话: If ESL/EFL writing teachers are really concerned with improving their student's grammatical competency, they should, in lieu of offering grammar correction feedback, constantly stress in their classes the importance of outside reading. Studies have shown that voluntary, light, authentic reading (graphic novels, comics, the easy section of newspapers, popular literature) in the target language greatly helps the overall writing and grammatical skills of second language students (Krashen 2004a).
这段话说明,让学生多多进行课外的阅读,扩大知识面,对于英语写作能力的提高和语法错误的避免,不仅可以起到“治标”(只停留在“识别”层面)同时也能够达到“治本”(运用分析评价);故此一定要学生多多接触地道的英文,从中感悟并借鉴到自己的口语和写作中去,提高自己的写作水平。
五、问题探讨:
利用“茶馆问题”的形式进行高一的写作教学是我们的尝试,在高一年级两个快班一个普通班实验了三个多月,我们看到了学生在时态运用,篇章结构,行文逻辑等方面有了些积极变化,但是这种变化需要一个科学的评估办法;至于怎样量化评估还需要继续摸索实践。此外,如何避免这种形式带来的如写作体裁单一等弊端,也需探讨。以后我们接下来的工作重点会放在这些问题的解决上:比如对学生写作进行量化评估;如何培养学生发展自主学习和自我评估的能力――例如真正有效的进行 Peer-editing 等工作的开展,以及结合高考的各种不同体裁的书面表达进行更有针对性的训练.

高中英语课文标题与阅读教学实践
杨捷
(安徽省灵璧县第一中学高中英语组•灵璧•234200 )

【摘要】 解读课文标题是常见的课文阅读教学活动,教师在教学实践中,可在读前、读中、读后及课外四个环节进行多样的基于标题解读的教学活动,以有效发挥文章标题在阅读教学中的作用。
【关键词】 阅读教学,文章标题,预测,验证,赏析,探究

文章标题往往是文章的眼睛。透过标题,读者可以透视文章的主题,甚至可以预测作者可能使用的行文思路,迅速把握文章框架脉络。文章的标题具有概括性、针对性、醒目性三大基本特征。概括性要求标题应最大限度上覆盖全文,揭示文章的主要内容,体现文章的主题要旨。针对性要求标题不能过于空泛,而是要针对文章的主要内容和特点。醒目性是指标题要生动、精炼,以吸引读者注意力,唤起读者对文章的阅读兴趣。 [1] 另外,英语文章标题语言使用上还有其独有特点,如省略虚词。[2]
人教版《普通高中课程标准实验教科书•英语》(New Senior English for China,以下简称NSEFC) BOOKS 1-3这三本教材15个单元Reading部分共15篇课文:在围绕课文的教学活动中,BOOK1Unit2、BOOK2 Units1,2,3,4,5、BOOK3 Units1,2,4等9篇课文前的Pre-reading设有look at the title and the pictures and predict the content的预测活动;BOOK2 Unit4课文后的Comprehending中Exercise 4 “Explain in your own words what the writer means by the title ‘A night the earth didn’t sleep’. In pairs, suggest another title for the text.”为赏析标题和替换标题的活动;余下5篇在Pre-reading 和Comprehending部分未涉及有关文章标题的教学活动。分析一下,得到以下几点认识:
1. 课本在围绕标题的阅读教学活动的设计上,已给与了一些关注;
2. 课本围绕标题设计的教学活,60%是针对文章内容的预测活动,形式单一且深度不够;
3. 课本围绕标题的教学活动设计启示一线教师,在课堂教学实践中可自主探索设计更多样的教学活动,如赏析标题、替换标题等;
4. 围绕标题的教学活动不光在读前进行,读后也可以,甚至在读中环节,要因时制宜。

为最大效能地发挥文章标题在阅读教学中的作用,笔者在阅读教学实践中,在读前、读中、读后及课外四个环节设计了多样的教学活动,以下用课堂教学实例分别介绍。

一、读前预测:看标题预测文章主要内容和行文思路
这是围绕标题设计的最常见的一种教学活动。预测是有效阅读的一个重要环节。现代阅读心理学普遍认为,阅读不是读者被动接受文字信息的过程,而是读者通过已有知识,凭借思维与文章作者“对话”互动的过程。[3] 而这一过程的起点应是读者拿到文章看的第一眼,高效率的读者不会在这第一眼把标题忽略。
在教学BOOK 1 Unit 2 Reading 时,笔者把标题 The Road to Modern English写在黑板中央上方,并提出下面两问题供学生思考:
1. Look at the title and predict what the passage will probably be about.
2. If you get the title “The Road to Modern English”, what will you include in your writing and how will you develop the passage or organize the materials?
并提醒学生标题中road 和 modern 关键词。这两个问题旨在激活学生思维,分别对文章的主要内容和行文思路予以预测。
近几年,“理解主旨和要义”和“理解文章的基本结构”,在《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试安徽省英语科考试说明》中有明确要求。不同体裁英语文章各有其各自独特的行文思路和脉络。通过激活学生头脑中已有的有关内容和结构的图式知识,为下一步阅读作下铺垫。 学生细读标题The Road to Modern English (“通往现代英语之路”),对于问题1,2分别给出这样回答:The passage is probably about the development of English;I’ll write about a bit history of the English language in the order of time. / I’ll organize the materials in order of time (chronologically).

二、读中验证:根据标题作出的预测在阅读时与正文比对验证,读者自行监控调整阅读过程。
仍以BOOK 1 Unit 2 Reading的教学为例。在预测活动后,笔者设计了以下阅读活动:
1. Make a timeline of the development of English.
2. Circle the discourse markers(语篇标识词)in the passage.
学生通过略读(skim)各段首句 At the end of the 16th century,… ;So why has English changed over time? Finally, by the 19th century…; English now is… 便可意识到先前关于文章行文思路和脉络的预测有了积极的验证;查读(scan)并圈注语篇标识词 At first, then, So by the 1600s,Later in the 18th century有助学生准确迅速地获取文章的重要内容信息。
有效率的读者常以自我提问方式来监控自己的阅读。[3] 再如,在教学BOOK 2 Unit 4 Reading :How Daisy Learned to Help Wildlife 时,一小组读前预测的汇报为:The passage will probably be about different ways Daisy learnt to help wild life like attending lectures, surfing the Internet for information, doing some field research in the wild…指导学生阅读中将正文与这一预测比对,心里自问自答“is my prediction correct?”,发现文章行文思路并非完全如此,通过放慢读速等策略加强针对性,提高阅读效果。

三、读后赏析:读后通过质疑、反思、重拟题等活动,[4] 就标题的三大基本特征“概括性、针对性、醒目性” 品味赏析。
如,在教学BOOK 1 Unit 4 Reading: A night the earth didn’t sleep 的读后环节,笔者确保足够的时间让学生思考Comprehending中Exercise 4的问题,大多数学生能答出The title means the earthquake shook all night. Another possible title for the text is “Tangshan earthquake”.
有比较才有鉴别。学生拿自己重拟的标题“Tangshan earthquake”与原标题“A night the earth didn’t sleep”相比较,不难发现:自拟的标题虽然也能“针对性”地“概括”文章的主题,但“醒目性”大大逊色;原标题却能把主题信息 an earthquake happened 以诗意的方式(a poetic way)表达出来,激发读者兴趣,增加了文章的可读性。读者读罢全文,回味标题,恍然大悟:貌似a night the earth didn’t sleep,实是a night Tangshan residents didn’t sleep (as a consequence of the earthquake) !
又如,在教学BOOK 2 Unit 3 Reading: Who am I? 时,在读后环节,鼓励学生重拟标题,学生基本上给的都是“The development of computer”,未经老师点拨学生就自悟到这一标题与原标题比较的两大不足:1、陈述式的短语远不如“Who am I ?”活泼;2、标题第三人称与正文第一人称极不相称。
再如,BOOK3 Unit2 Reading: “Come and eat here (1)(2)”,讲述王鹏和雍慧开餐馆的故事,是篇记叙文,却以祈使语气的短句命题,何不用记叙的短语,比如,“The Story of Two Competing Restaurants”为题呢? 文章似乎在号召着什么?两个疑问引导着学生对文章作更深一步分析:全文明暗两条主线贯穿着——明线是,王鹏和雍慧从竞争开餐馆到两餐馆合并菜单合作经营,最终戏剧性地结婚过上了幸福生活; 暗线是,介绍食物的分类、食物对人健康的影响及均衡饮食的重要性,号召人们平衡膳食。由此可见,标题 “Come and eat here”的高明之处。学生也在质疑反思中深化了对文章的理解。
还有,在教学BOOK 3 Unit5 Reading: A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH ” 的读后环节,笔者引导学生比较赏析针对此文的三个标题:
1. A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH”
2. A TRIP IN “THE TRUE NORTH”
3. A TRIP ACROSS CANADA
这是一篇游记类文章,学生在前面的Warming-up部分的讨论中知道“the True North”一词源自加拿大国歌 “O Canada”: …With glowing hearts, we see thee rise / The True North strong and free … “The True North”代指Canada;并且,通过文章的阅读知道文中“the True North”是作者搭乘的a trans-Canada train。标题2和标题1(原标题)虽只差一介词,但已破坏原标题 “一石两鸟”的效果:搭乘列车“the True North”作穿越加拿大 “The True North”之旅! 标题3相比较标题1在文化内涵和韵味方面只能望其项背。

四、课外探究:课外延伸,搜集更多材料,探究英文标题更多特征,激发英语学习兴趣。
在学完NSEFC BOOKS1-3,笔者给学生安排了下面project-based 的学习活动:
▲活动名称:英语文章标题特征初探 (Explore the characteristics of English titles)
▲活动目的:接触常见媒体上的真实(authentic)英文材料,培养英语综合运用能力,(尤其是略读与寻读技能),激发英语学习兴趣
▲活动内容:搜集报纸、杂志,如21st Century, China Daily, Studio Classroom 及因特网上的英语文章,skim式阅读并摘录文章标题
▲活动时段及时长:学完NSEFC BOOKS1-3, 持续两周
▲活动形式:个人活动、小组活动、全班交流
▲语言知识要求:充分利用已学的词汇和语法
▲语言技能要求:听、说、读、写,侧重读:精读泛读结合、略读寻读结合
▲活动步骤:
①.全班56人分为7组,每组8人:组长1名,文书1名(复印必要的实证材料),组员6人;
②.学生个人或结伴搜集英语文章,摘录标题;
③.小组内集中搜集结果,结合文章分析标题的三大基本特征,并讨论探究英文标题还有哪些特征;
④.小组向全班汇报展示探究结果;
⑤.老师总结点评project实施情况

不管课内精读还是课外泛读,教师在阅读教学实践中,应加强对学生的指导,有效利用标题,提高对文章主题要义、结构谋篇、行文思路的宏观把握能力。学生通过对文章标题的探究可以培养阅读技能,加深对文章的理解,提高阅读效率,同时还能激发英语学习的兴趣。

1、教育技术论文
(1)主题。教育技术应用与教学方法创新。研究的学科与范围不限。
(2)格式。请控制在2000—6000字,有标题,文摘(200字以内),关键词(3-4个)。标题为4号黑体,文摘和关键词为4号楷体,正文为4号仿宋,参考书目为4号楷体,标题下请用4号楷体注明作者姓名(作者不能多于2人)、性别、职称、学历、单位、通讯地址(全称:省市县学校)、电话、电子邮件信箱、邮编等。请提交文字稿(A4纸)和电子稿各1份。
教育技术的含义
  提到教育技术,很容易让人想到幻灯、投影,电视、录象、计算机,还有那些为了解决多媒体教室中各种操作故障的技术人员,有许多人把教育技术看作是类似“拧螺丝”的物化技术,甚至有人索性称之为“机器”。在我国教育技术(国内仍称为电化教育)的发展实质上从改革开放开始的,对于这样一个新兴学科(教育技术学),人们产生一些困惑与误解是在所难免的,这种狭隘的观念多半来自人们对“技术”这个词的片面理解。“教育技术”来源于英文中的Educational Technology,从字面上可译为“教育技术”。但technology有“工艺学”的意思,代表了一门学问,它不同于technique(技术)。台湾的张宵亭教授把Educational Technology译为“教育工学”,也正是考虑到“技术”与“工艺学”的区别。桑新民教授也说过“电化教育(即这里所说的教育技术)强调了学科的立足点是教育而不是技术”。因此,教育技术决不可以简单的理解为物化技术,更不会是机器的同义词。
  根据美国AECT 1994年的定义,教育技术是“对学习过程和学习资源进行设计、开发、使用、管理和评价的理论与实践”。教育技术的研究对象是学习过程和学习资源,研究领域是理论与实践。教育技术的理论体系涉及哲学、教学理论、学习理论、传播理论、电子理论、美学理论以及系统论、信息论、控制论等。“教育技术的实践就是用科学的思想、原理和方法去解决教育、教学过程中存在的问题。可以说教育技术是思想、理论、技术和方法的综合。”(高利明)它所关注的主要不是现代信息技术本身,而是各种现代技术在教育、教学中的应用。它所追求的不是教育的机械化,而是教育的最优化。“现代教育技术是以计算机为核心的信息技术在教育、教学领域中的应用”。(何克抗)现代教育技术是教育技术在信息社会发展的新特征,标志是多媒体技术和网络技术在教育、教学中的广泛应用。现代教育技术是要为学习者提供一个有利于观察、思考、比较的信息化教学环境,开发有助于创造教学的软件资源,培养具有创新意识的现代化的教师队伍,开展教学试验,探索并构建创造教育的新模式,把学生培养成“积极的求异、敏锐的观察、丰富的想象、个性的知识结构的品质”的人。勿庸置疑,现代教育技术是教育改革和发展的制高点和突破口,是教育走向现代化的必经之途。
3、教学设计
(1)学科。教学设计以中小学学科为主。鼓励开展新课改实验的学校、应用农远工程三种模式的学校和英特尔R未来教育基础课程项目应用的学校积极组织参与。本次教学设计倡导按新课程改革后的学科分类、课程设置进行创意。教学设计方案不要求统一模板,可按教师自己喜爱的模板设计。
(2)格式。标题为4号黑体,正文为4号仿宋,参考书目为4号楷体,标题下请用4号楷体注明作者姓名(作者不能多于2人)、性别、职称、学历、单位、通讯地址(全称:省市县学校)、电话、电子邮件信箱、邮编等。请提交文字稿(A4纸)和电子稿(可附重要的微课件)各一份。
5、教育叙事研究
(1)教育叙事研究是指以叙事的方式开展的教育研究。它是教育研究者主要是教师通过对有意义的校园生活、教育教学事件、教育教学实践经验的描述与分析,从而发掘或揭示隐藏在这些生活、事件、经验和行为背后的教育行为、教育经验、教育理想、教育思想、教育理论和教育信念,进而发现教育的本质、规律和价值意义的研究活动。是教师用叙事的方法和讲故事的方式对教育的理解、阐述和解释。本年度评选的作品可以是教师在网站上发表的原创博客作品或其他作品,但最好是在信息技术教育环境中或应用教育技术过程中发生的有意义的教育故事。要求真实、有头有尾,有概括和思考,给人以启迪。
(2)格式。请控制在1500-2500字。标题为4号黑体,正文为4号仿宋,参考书目为4号楷体,标题下请用4号楷体注明作者姓名、性别、职称、学历、单位、通讯地址(全称:省市县学校)、电话、电子邮件信箱、邮编等。请提交文字稿(A4纸)和电子稿各一份。

Scaffolding Academic Learning for Second Language Learners

Scaffolding Academic Learning for Second Language Learners

Texas A&M University (Kingsville, Texas, USA)
http://iteslj.org/Articles/Bradley-Scaffolding/
Introduction
What is meant by the term scaffolding? "Scaffolding refers to providing contextual supports for meaning through the use of simplified language, teacher modeling, visuals and graphics, cooperative learning and hands-on learning" (Ovando, Collier, & Combs, 2003, p. 345). The teacher of second language learners has to facilitate that support. Then, "as students become more proficient, the scaffold is gradually removed" (Diaz-Rico & Weed, 2002, p. 85). Three types of scaffolding have been identified as being especially effective for second language learners.
1. Simplifying the language: The teacher can simplify the language by shortening selections, speaking in the present tense, and avoiding the use of idioms.
2. Asking for completion, not generation: The teacher can have students choose answers from a list or complete a partially finished outline or paragraph.
3. Using visuals: The teacher can present information and ask for students to respond through the use of graphic organizers, tables, charts, outlines, and graphs.
The development of academic language is vital to student success in the classroom. Each of the content area subjects contain a unique and demanding technical vocabulary. In addition, familiar words are used in completely different ways. The purpose of this paper is to share strategies that can facilitate a teacher's scaffolding of difficult academic vocabulary. Active student involvement is the key to success.
"The overriding drive in current changes occurring in second language teaching is the need to teach language through something essential and meaningful to the student. When the goal is to prepare students for academic success in classes taught in English, then ESL is best taught through lessons that teach meaningful mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts concepts simultaneously with second language objectives" (Ovando, Collier, & Combs, 2003, p. 310). This drive supports efforts toward planning thematic instruction. Theme studies provide a meaningful context for learning technical, academic vocabulary. In the sequence of activities described, a group of fifth graders are involved in the theme of great inventions.
The lesson design format integrates reading and writing and leads students from the pre-reading stage through the post-writing reflection stage.
I. Overview
Helping second language learners master academic content can be challenging. Scaffolding reading/writing
lessons emphasizing active student involvement provides the setting for success in this area.
• Theme: Great Inventions
• Using the book: Great Inventions
• Demonstration Lesson: Transportation and Under Water
• Overview: After a study of great inventions related to the history of transportation, students will research a topic, create a poster, and orally present it to the class.
II. Objectives
• Connect student background by making predictions about text.
• Predict text content through pictures.
• Make connections through personal experiences to text content.
• Interrelate concepts using a structured overview and visuals.
• Keep notes in margins while reading.
• Self-question as sections of the text are read.
• Work collaboratively in a group.
• Create a poster to present the most important information about your group's selected topic.
III. Pre-reading Activities
1. Pre-Reading #1 - Think About the Title:
• Ask student to think about what they already know about transportation on and under water. Give them a couple of minutes to share their predictions of the content of the text with a partner. Debrief as a total class, writing the responses on the board.
• Ask students to look at the pictures in the text (The text has vivid pictures of a sailboat, an aqualung, a submarine, a propeller, and several types of ships, as well as a lighthouse. Ask students to write down what they think the text is about, based on the pictures. Debrief as a class and add those ideas to the list on the board.
• Before actually reading the text, ask students if anyone has ever traveled anywhere in a boat or ship. Then ask the class if anyone has had any experiences in a boat. Students share their stories.
2. Pre-Reading #2:
Provide a structured overview that previews and highlights important information and the interrelationships of ideas.

For this activity, students can be placed in groups and given a set of index cards containing the inventions related to the reading selection. If inventions for land and air transportation have been previously studied, they could be included. Students sort the inventions under the appropriate category as shown in the structured overview. This can be done as a prediction prior to reading.
IV. During-Reading: Monitoring Comprehension
English language learners need to have an established purpose for reading something so they can
evaluate whether they are successful readers. The purpose of during-reading strategies revolves around
the teacher's modeling of questioning techniques in order to develop the self-questioning ability of students.
For example, the purpose for reading the selection "On or Under the Water," which was established during
the pre-reading phase, was to find out what inventions promoted the development of different types of boats
throughout history.
Two during-reading strategies that effectively assist students in monitoring their own comprehension are
using subheadings and headings and analyzing captions.
During Reading #1: Analyzing Captions
For example: One caption from "On and Under the Water" says, "Finding the Way." The pictures surrounding the text are of a lighthouse, which might be within the students' background knowledge, and a gold, circular object that they probably will not be able to identify (It is a mariner's ASTROLABE).
The teacher's role is to discuss the purpose of the lighthouse (or something students already know about) and then suggest that perhaps the other object is also something that will help ships "find their way," as the text says.
During-reading #2: Turn Headings and Subheadings into Questions
Using the same example, one of the subheadings reads, "Beneath the Surface." The teacher should guide students in the process of changing the subheadings into questions. The question should be a prediction of what the text will say below that subheading. For "Beneath the Surface," the question might be, "What invention made it possible to take a boat beneath the surface, or under the water?" Because expository, or non-fiction texts usually have headings and subheadings, determining where to ask questions is easier. Good readers use those signals and self-question as they read.
During Reading #3:
Read "On or Under Water" aloud, asking students to join in as they are able. (This is a short, two pages of text) Students have a copy of the chosen text so they can write notes as the selection is studied. During the reading, specific vocabulary words are identified as follows: navigation, invention, lighthouse, relied, chronometer, accurate, and satellite signals. Students write the words in the margin. Before having students reread the text silently, pre-teach this key vocabulary using a variety of techniques.
Examples:
a. Clustering -- In clustering, students guess the words meaning by the context of its use.
From "On or Under the Water" the cluster might look like this:

b. Word Scroll or Graphic

Completing the graphic helps readers visually see relationships that they might otherwise overlook. When completing a vocabulary graphic, a portion of the visual should include personal connections to the word, as in the previous example.
During Reading #4: Students Should Reread Either Silently, in Partners, or in Groups.
V. Post-reading
The goal of this activity is to have students actually participate in a process that has traditionally been
used by teachers to modify text for English language learners. Through the use of simplification,
expansions, direct explanations, and comparisons, comprehension is built in to create a clearer, more
understandable text, as in the following example:
Simplification: The government's funds were depleted. (It was almost out of money.)
Expansion of ideas: The government funds were depleted. (It had spent a lot of money on things;
equipment, help of the poor. It did not have any more money to spend on anything else.)
Direct definition: The government's funds were depleted. (This means that the government had spent
all of its money. (Diaz-Rico, & Weed, 2003, p. 230).
For this activity, the teacher models the first work after creating a bulletin board which is labeled as follows:

The end goal of this activity is to have students do this activity in groups, with the teacher circulating as facilitator. The amount of teacher-directed instruction is going to vary depending on the students involved. Organize students into small groups and have them brainstorm ideas about the history of inventions related to transportation. Then, have them share with the whole class. As ideas are shared, create a graphic on the board or overhead. Each cooperative group is to select an area for further research. An example of a graphic which might culminate study of transportation inventions follows:

VI. Writing
Each group is to create a poster "showing" their topic in an organized fashion.
1. Planning
The group has to decide how best to organize their information.
For example, a group who selects a study of inventions used throughout history to guide ships in the open sea, might present their information using a time line as a focus.
1200 1300 1400 1500 1600 1700 1800
|__________|__________|__________|__________|__________|__________|
Students select materials to use to best present their topic. (A variety of art materials should be made available as well as magazine pictures)
2. Writing
The first draft is produced.
3. Sharing
Posters are shared with the rest of the class. Each person in the group tells what his/her part was in the creation of the project.
4. Revising
The first draft is reshaped, incorporating the feedback from the sharing.
5. Editing
Students proofread for conformity to the conventions of the English language.
6. Evaluation
The writing is judged to determine if it meets the criteria on the evaluation or rubric and if it satisfies the writer and the reader.
7. Writing Log Reflection
Students write in their individual logs. Give them a guided question to get them started.
Example: Review the activities you have participated in during our study of great inventions. Which of the activities do you think most helped you understand the information? Why?

Figure of Speech

Figure of Speech
Figure of Speech, word or group of words used to give particular emphasis to an idea or sentiment. The special emphasis is typically accomplished by the user's conscious deviation from the strict literal sense of a word, or from the more commonly used form of word order or sentence construction. From ancient times to the present, such figurative locutions have been extensively employed by orators and writers to strengthen and embellish their styles of speech and composition. A number of the more widely used figures of speech, some of which are also called tropes, follow.
1. Anticlimax, sequence of ideas that abruptly diminish in dignity or importance at the end of a sentence or passage, generally for satirical effect. The following sentence contains an illustration of anticlimax: “Among the great achievements of Benito Mussolini's regime were the revival of a strong national consciousness, the expansion of the Italian Empire, and the running of the trains on time.” (Compare with climax, below.)
2. Antithesis, juxtaposition of two words, phrases, clauses, or sentences contrasted or opposed in meaning in such a way as to give emphasis to contrasting ideas. An example of antithesis is the following line by the English poet Alexander Pope: “To err is human, to forgive divine.”
3. Apostrophe, device by which an actor turns from the audience, or a writer from readers, to address a person who usually is either absent or deceased, an inanimate object, or an abstract idea. The English poet John Milton, in his poem Il Penseroso, invokes the spirit of melancholy in the following words: “Hail divinest Melancholy, whose saintly visage is too bright to hit the sense of human sight.”
4. Climax, arrangement of words, clauses, or sentences in the order of their importance, the least forcible coming first and the others rising in power until the last, as in the following sentence: “It is an outrage to bind a Roman citizen; it is a crime to scourge him; it is almost parricide to kill him; but to crucify him—what shall I say of this?” (Compare with anticlimax, above.)
5. Conceit, an elaborate, often extravagant metaphor or simile (see below) making an analogy between totally dissimilar things. The term originally meant “concept” or “idea.” The use of conceits is especially characteristic of 17th-century English metaphysical poetry. An example occurs in the poem “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,” by the English poet John Donne, in which two lovers' souls are compared to the legs of drawing compasses.
6.Euphemism, substitution of a delicate or inoffensive term or phrase for one that has coarse, sordid, or otherwise unpleasant associations, as in the use of “lavatory” or “rest room” for “toilet,” and “pass away” for “die.”
7.Exclamation, sudden outcry or interjection expressing violent emotion, such as fright, grief, or hatred. Two illustrations of exclamation are the line in the English playwright William Shakespeare's drama Macbeth in which Lady Macbeth says, “Out, out, damned spot .... !” and the line in Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet where the prince cries, “O villain, villain, smiling damned villain!”
8. Hyperbole, form of inordinate exaggeration according to which a person or thing is depicted as being better or worse, or larger or smaller, than is actually the case, as in the sentence from an essay by the English writer Thomas Babington Macaulay: “Dr. Johnson drank his tea in oceans.” (Compare with litotes, below.)
9. Irony, dryly humorous or lightly sarcastic mode of speech, in which words are used to convey a meaning contrary to their literal sense. An instance of irony is the suggestion, put forward with apparent seriousness by the English satirist Jonathan Swift in his “A Modest Proposal”, that the poor people of Ireland should rid themselves of poverty by selling their children to the rich to eat.
10. Litotes, understatement employed for the purpose of enhancing the effect of the ideas expressed, as in the sentence “The English poet Thomas Gray showed no inconsiderable powers as a prose writer,” meaning that Gray was in fact a very good prose writer. (Compare with hyperbole, above.)
11.Metaphor, use of a word or phrase denoting one kind of idea or object in place of another word or phrase for the purpose of suggesting a likeness between the two. Thus, in the biblical Book of Psalms, the writer speaks of God's law as “a light to his feet and a lamp to his path.” Other instances of metaphor are contained in the sentences “He uttered a volley of oaths” and “The man tore through the building.” (Compare with simile, below.)
12.Metonymy, use of a word or phrase for another to which it bears an important relation, as the effect for the cause, the abstract for the concrete, and similar constructions. Examples of metonymy are “He was an avid reader of Chaucer,” when the poems of the English writer Geoffrey Chaucer are meant, and “The hostess kept a good table,” when good food is implied. (Compare with synecdoche, below.)
13.Onomatopoeia, imitation of natural sounds by words. Examples in English are the italicized words in the phrases “the humming bee,””the cackling hen,””the whizzing arrow,” and “the buzzing saw.”
14.Oxymoron, combination of two seemingly contradictory or incongruous words, as in the line by the English poet Sir Philip Sidney in which lovers are said to speak “of living deaths, dear wounds, fair storms, and freezing fires.” (Compare with paradox, below.)
15 .Paradox, statement or sentiment that appears contradictory to common sense yet is true in fact. Examples of paradox are “mobilization for peace” and “a well-known secret agent.” (Compare with oxymoron, above.)
16.Personification, representation of inanimate objects or abstract ideas as living beings, as in the sentences “Necessity is the mother of invention,””Lean famine stalked the land,” and “Night enfolded the town in its ebon wings.”
17.Rhetorical question, asking of questions not to gain information but to assert more emphatically the obvious answer to what is asked. No answer, in fact, is expected by the speaker. The device is illustrated in the following series of sentences: “Did you help me when I needed help? Did you once offer to intercede in my behalf? Did you do anything to lessen my load?”
18.Simile, specific comparison by means of the words “like” or “as” between two kinds of ideas or objects. Examples of the simile are contained in the sentence “Christianity shone like a beacon in the black night of paganism” and in the line by the English poet William Wordsworth: “But, like a thirsty wind, to roam about.” (Compare with metaphor, above.)
19.Synecdoche, figurative locution whereby the part is made to stand for the whole, the whole for a part, the species for the genus, and vice versa. Thus, in the phrase “50 head of cattle,””head” is used to mean whole animals, and in the sentence “The president's administration contained the best brains in the country,””brains” is used for intellectually brilliant persons. (Compare with metonymy, above.)
