教育戏剧让“身体”回归小学英语教学

Educational drama brings the body back to primary school English teaching

21世纪以来,尽管我国对小学英语教学进行了全国性的“课标”设定以及较大规模的改革,但目前我国小学英语教学依然存在“重心抑身”“重知识轻实践”的倾向。对于小学生而言,身体知觉是他们感知和认识世界的第一来源,而教育戏剧通过身体的“全息”参与,一定程度上能够达到增长知识与智慧的教育目的。以教育戏剧为切入点,从身体现象学的视域审视当前小学英语教学中“身体缺失”的现象,阐述教育戏剧如何让“身体”在教学中得以“显现”,可有助于达到活化小学英语教学的目的。

Since the turn of the century, although China has carried out a national curriculum standard and large-scale reform in primary school English teaching, there is still a tendency in English teaching of stressing on self-suppression and putting more emphasis on knowledge than practice. Primary school students usually have some free physical activity opportunities only in the physical education class, and this can only be called physical exercise, not the real sense of physical education. For primary school students, body perception is the first source of their perception and understanding of the world, and the clever use of educational drama can achieve the purpose of body education to develop knowledge and wisdom to a certain extent. From the perspective of body phenomenology, this paper takes educational drama as a starting point to examine the phenomenon of body deficiency in primary school English teaching, and expounds how educational drama can make body appear in teaching, so as to achieve the purpose of activating primary school English teaching.
