七、教学过程建议

1．面授辅导

“文学英语赏析”课程的教学目标是通过阅读文学作品，培养学生阅读、理解、欣赏文学原著的能力。本课程的教学方法主要是学生自学与辅导教师辅导相

结合，可采用讲授、讨论、练习等形式进行教学，把教师辅导（集体辅导和个别辅导相结合）、课堂讲评、集体讨论、口头和书面练习等环节结合起来，灵活运用。

教学组织形式分为“个别化学习”、“小组学习”和“集体授课”三类，按照“以学生为中心”的原则组织课堂辅导和课外学习，以学生利用多种媒体教学资源自主学习为主，辅之以面授课、课堂讨论。

面授辅导课视学习需要和具体情况安排，最好每1~2周安排一次。辅导课应重点引导学生对文学作品进行文本细读，通过阅读与欣赏英语文学作品, 提高学生的英语理解水平和表达能力。辅导课上可适当地介绍历史、文化背景知识，进行难点答疑、作业讲评。教师的辅导与答疑宜用英语进行，以便弥补学生缺少运用英语面对面进行交流的缺憾。此外，还应适当安排收听、收看与学习内容相关的音像材料，并就所学材料进行分组讨论，引导学生积极主动地参与小组活动，培养他们综合运用英语的能力。

辅导课后教师应要求学生利用课程导学完成自主检测、自主评价、自主矫正等环节。对学有余力的学生，应要求其完成本课程网上扩展阅读材料，以扩大学生的语言输入总量，接触更多的诗歌、小说、散文、戏剧等不同文学体裁的作品。

2．支持服务

在教学过程中，面授辅导站应通过函授、电话、传真、语音信箱、视听阅览室、语言实验室、多媒体学习中心、英语角、学习小组、电子邮件、电子信箱、网上咨询等形式为学生提供支持服务。在组织各类活动时，既要注意及时解决学生在自学中碰到的共性的问题，也要注意针对具体情况提供个别化辅导。

另外，支持服务不仅包括学业上的指导和帮助，还包括为学生提供心理和精神上的支持。

3．作业安排

为了督促并检测学生平时的学习，本门课程应安排不少于四次的书面作业。每次书面作业的成绩要备案，作为评定平时成绩的依据。

八、课程考核

本课程的考核由形成性考核及课程终结性考试两部分组成。形成性考核占课程总成绩的30%，课程终结性考试占课程总成绩的70%。形成性考核内容和方式按照《形成性考核及学习档案》的要

高中英语选修课：英语文学欣赏 Sister Carrie 学生版讲义资料

Chapter III WEE QUESTION OF FORTUNE--FOUR-FIFTY A WEEK Once across the river and into the wholesale district, she glanced about her for some likely door at which to apply. As she contemplated the wide windows and imposing signs, she became conscious of being gazed upon and understood for what she was--a wage-seeker. She had never done this thing before, and lacked courage. To avoid a certain indefinable shame she felt at being caught spying about for a position, she quickened her steps and assumed an air of indifference supposedly common to one upon an errand. In this way she passed many manufacturing and wholesale houses without once glancing in. At last, after several blocks of walking, she felt that this would not do, and began to look about again, though without relaxing her pace. A little way on she saw a great door which, for some reason, attracted her attention. It was ornamented by a small brass sign, and seemed to be the entrance to a vast hive of six or seven floors. "Perhaps," she thought, "They may want some one," and crossed over to enter. When she came within a score of feet of the desired goal, she saw through the window a young man in a grey checked suit. That he had anything to do with the concern, she could not tell, but because he happened to be looking in her direction her weakening heart misgave her and she hurried by, too overcome with shame to enter. Over the way stood a great six- story structure, labelled Storm and King, which she viewed with rising hope. It was a wholesale dry goods concern and employed women. She could see them moving about now and then upon the upper floors. This place she decided to enter, no matter what. She crossed over and walked directly toward the entrance. As she did so, two men came out and paused in the door. A telegraph messenger in blue dashed past her and up the few steps that led to the entrance and disappeared. Several pedestrians out of the hurrying throng which filled the sidewalks passed about her as she paused, hesitating. She looked helplessly around, and then, seeing herself observed, retreated. It was too difficult a task. She could not go past them. So severe a defeat told sadly upon her nerves. Her feet carried her mechanically forward, every foot of her progress being a satisfactory portion of a flight which she gladly made. Block after block passed by. Upon streetlamps at the various corners she read names such as Madison, Monroe, La Salle, Clark, Dearborn, State, and still she went, her feet beginning to tire upon the broad stone flagging. She was pleased in part that the streets were bright and clean. The morning sun, shining down with steadily increasing warmth, made the shady side of the streets pleasantly cool. She looked at the blue sky overhead with more realisation of its charm than had ever come to her before. Her cowardice began to trouble her in a way. She turned back, resolving to hunt up Storm and King and enter. On the way, she encountered a great wholesale shoe company, through the broad plate windows of which she saw an enclosed executive

高中英语文学欣赏课教学实践探讨

高中英语文学欣赏课教学实践探讨 作者：朱倩倩 来源：《作文成功之路·中旬刊》 2017年第7期 江苏省新沂市第一中学朱倩倩 【摘要】 随着全球化发展，英语越来越受到重视。当前国内高中英语教学形式单一，英语文学欣赏 受重视程度不深，对英语的学习只限于学习语言本身。由于各方面因素的影响，高中英语教学 只注重语言本身知识的掌握，忽略对作品的欣赏及人文素养的培养，高中英语文学欣赏教学对 促进学生英语语言能力有着积极有效的作用，而且是提高学生文化素养的重要手段，在高中英 语教学中应该把文学欣赏作为重要任务之一。 【关键词】 高中英语文学欣赏存在问题探讨对策 在当下的高中英语教学中普遍存在着重知识、轻能力的现象，教学内容主要以词汇和语法 为主，英语口语学习少，文学欣赏课程安排量少，导致学生难以形成听说读写的综合语言运用 能力及思维创新能力，遇到知识难点只能僵硬地学习，学习效率不高。本文对高中英语文学欣 赏课教学实践进行探讨，针对其相关问题，提出相关建议，以供参考。 一、高中英语文学欣赏存在的问题 （一）英语文学欣赏课程安排数量少 高中教学受应试教育的影响，大多数学校主要以高考应试成绩为教学目标，基本英语教学 形式以一种课本、一个进度、一个目标、一种方法进行英语教学，只注重英语语言本身的学习，单一向学生灌输语言、语法知识，忽略对文章文学欣赏的提高，以至于英语文学欣赏课程安排 数量极少，大多数课程都是应试教学，同时我国地域广阔，经济水平、文化水平差距大，英语 教学受重视程度不同，对于经济水平落后地区来说，基础英语教学开展难度都很大，很难在进 行英语文学欣赏课的开设。 （二）教科书文学欣赏作品少 自从新课标推广以来，教学内容和形式有了极大的改善，文学欣赏作品数量有所增加，但 仍然不能达到最佳效果。文学欣赏是英语教学的重要部分，能够有效地促进学生学习效率及运 用水平，在新课标英语教学内容上，教材对文学欣赏没有做出说明和具体要求，虽然教材内容 多以说明文为主，仍是侧重语言知识和语法知识，文学素养体现不足，难以促进学生对文章的 深刻了解，反而会对文章内容感觉枯燥、兴趣不足。 二、促进高中英语文学欣赏教学的策略 （一）改善英语文学欣赏作品的教材选编 目前我国还没有一本专门为高中英语文学欣赏编写英语教材，这就需要英语教师自己动手 选择编排适合高中生学习的英语文学作品，学校可以开展英语文学欣赏选修课，以满足英语教 师文学欣赏教学的需要。例如，教师根据学生的知识发展水平，教材选编符合英国文学经历文

The Disillusion of American Dream in Death of a Salesman 英语112 冯文娟 11425203 Franklin showed the people by aphorism and even his experiences,the myth that as long as you hard work,it is possible to achieve the American dream of fame and fortune. And his 13 virtues,which brought him great success,has made many ambitious young men regard it as the motto, they are doing Cinderella-like dream, a dream to one day become a prince. Later,American Dream becomes one of the most important themes in American literature,it convinces people that if they work hard, everyone can get rich.However, the harsh reality broke many people's American Dream into pieces, resulting in a series of tragedy.Many writers in American literature attempt to reveal the illusion of American Dream through their works, to explore the conflict between the reality and the American Dream.Among them, Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman reveals the illusory American dream by analyzing the reasons of the character,Willy Loman’s death.It has exposed some of the ills of American society, crushing the myth that "everyone can be successful." When I read the brief introduction of this book,there is a question constantly around me.Why Willy chose to commit suicide finally?But when I finished this book,I find the answer.Perhaps because of the sever reality,Perhaps when hopes dashed , Willy’s heart can no longer afford.Willy Loman is the play's tragic figure. His tragedy is to own his wrong values tightly, and can not face the reality. His whole lifetime is spent in the whole dream , as well died resulting from the wrong dream . As far as I am concerned,Willy represents his class, so he's tragedy is also the unfortune of a group of people who are holding the successful dream.As his name, Lowman ,implies that he belongs to the low-rise character of society.He has nothing.As a salesman,he has no pay, only led commission.He just sells other people's stuff and he convinces that as long as likable, charming,the door of the world is open to him. His life is built on such dreams.He admires David Sigelman very much because David sells products successfully and he does not have to leave the hotel, only a phone call can bring him a successful deal.When he died at the 84-year-old age, there are so many consumers and companions take part in his funeral procession.So Willy always lives in a world of his own imagination,considering the fantasy as the reality,and often boasts. As he said “I’m the New England man.I’m vital in New England.”Regardless of the fact that his products are unwelcomed,he boasts how important he is in New England and how high his sales volume is.Consequently,he falls into his own lie and can never escape. What’s more,to his son,Biff Loman,he also tries his best to instill the thinking:As

英语小说欣赏入门The Lady Or The Tiger

The Open Window Based on a story by Frank Stockton About the author: Frank Stockton (1834-1902) was born in Philadelphia. Stockton was an engraver by trade, but he spent much of his time writing stories. His earliest stories were for children, but later he began writing for adults. Stockton was one of the most famous American writers of the 1880s and 1890s. He was widely admired in his day and even Mark Twain was one of his fans. “The Lady or the Tiger?” is Stockton’s best known work. When it was punished in 1882, it caused a sensation throughout the country as readers debated what the ending should be. The text Many years ago there lived a cruel and savage king. This king had a wild and violent imagination, and since he was king, he had the power to make his wishes come true. The king loved to discuss things with himself. When he and himself agreed on something, the king commanded that it be done, and it was done at once because everyone in the kingdom was afraid of the king. When thing went smoothly, the king was pleasant and calm.

You see, the idea of an arena was not new, but the way it was used here was different, and came solely from the brain of the king. He thought of it because it delighted him and gave him pleasure. On the day of the trail, a large crowd would gather in the king’s arena. After everyone was seated, the king entered, followed by his court. The king sat on his royal throne on one side of the arena. When the king gave a signal, a door would open and the accused man would step out into the arena. Opposite him, on the other side of the arena, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. The person on trail would walk to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased. No one spoke to him or offered any advice. The choice was his own. Behind one of the doors was a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel that could be found. If the man opened that door, the tiger immediately leaped out and tore the man to pieces. That was the punishment for his guilt! Then iron bells began to clang, cries of sorrow were heard, and the vast crowd, with heavy hearts, slowly made its way home. Everyone felt sad that the man had deserved to meet such a horrible fate. But if the accused person opened the other door, a lady stepped out. She was as perfect a
