语类圈活动在外语课堂中的应用

Genre circle activities and their application in foreign language classroom instruction

本文基于整体外语教学理念,针对教学流程中意义协商活动的'再现'环节,设计了叙事、描述、说明、论说、指示5种语类圈活动。语类圈活动是一种小组合作学习活动,学生通过角色扮演再现语篇内容,体验并反思语篇意义的建构过程,进而盘活并内化语言知识,发展语言技能,提升综合素质。语类圈活动能为教师开展课堂互动教学提供操作方案,对提升课堂教学效果具有重要作用。

Drawing on the theoretical underpinning for the Holistic Approach towards foreign language teaching(FLT),this paper designs five types of genre circle activities for narrative,description,exposition,argumentation and instruction,in order to exemplify the'Engaging Activity'at the meaning-negotiation stage in the teaching cycle.Genre circle activities are group learning activities,in which students reproduce discourse contents,experience and reflect on the discourse meaning construction process through role-play,thus activating and internalizing their language knowledge,developing their language skills,and improving their comprehensive quality.As operational schemes for interactive classroom instruction,they would play significant roles in improving classroom instruction effects.
