教学设计理念:高职院校以培养学生从事某一职业或职业群所需要的应用知识和专业技能为目的,要求学生把课堂所学运用于实际生活。因此高职院校的改革应减少对学生纯书本知识的要求,而应把他们的主要精力集中在大理念的形成上,这些大理念将使他们在以飞速变化为特征的未来社会中受益匪浅。

一、学情分析

报关与国际货运专业07级的学生这学期结束就将离开学校预就业实习了。作为他们来说,首先,英语能力一般,更不用说口语了;其次,即将离开学校,难免有些浮躁情绪。但是有一点可喜的是,他们敢于开口说,这恰恰是练好口语的关键。所以在日常视听说教学中,我更加注重学生对语言的感觉以及对训练项目整体的把握,而不是计较他们的词汇量大小以及语法错误等等。

二、教材分析

《外贸业务综合实训—口语模块》选用的教材是外研社出版的由马龙海主编的《新视野商务英语视听说》,该教材每单元的选题进口当今商务行政和国际贸易活动的某一个方面,各章节练习围绕学生在该领域将要面对并应该了解和掌握的问题展开;每一个模块都给基于一个模拟的商务交际情景,使学生在掌握语言技能的同时,能够在模拟商务场景中操练商务交际技能,并了解相关的商务知识。

三、教学内容分析

本单元以接待来宾为中心话题,主要内容涉及在办公室及在机场接待来宾时的商务交际用语。

六、教学反思

本次课完成了既定的教学目标,课堂气氛活跃。我对本次课的安排做了精心的设计:第一步,布置了本次课的实训任务,给定情景来完成对话;第二步,用本单元视频中的对话作为示范,让学生熟悉机场迎宾的流程;第三步,从几个方面给学生归纳在机场接机时的一些商务交际用语;第四步,对学生进行分组,4人一组来完成前面所布置的实训任;第五步,让学生来汇报表演,老师及其他学生进行点评;第六步,复习巩固对话练习中出现的机场接机是常用的交际用语;第七部,课后作业的布置。

从学生的实训任务完成的情况来看,存在着几个问题:①虽然能基本听懂示范视频中的内容,但是运用到自己的对话中时还欠流利,主要在于平时的练习少;②很多学生在完成实训任务时,声音放不开,甚至不敢抬头看对话的另一方,心里对于说英语有着莫名的害怕,不愿说,不敢说,太缺乏自信;③有少数学生首先在思想上就不重视口语课,他们认为,我是学报关的,以后也不需要说英语,其实,英语现在在各行各业都被广泛的使用,它是一个必备的工具。

作为商务英语视听说的授课老师,我需要做很多的课前准备和课后分析。收集与主题相关的材料,依据学生实际情况设计课堂活动,调整教学内容。因为商务知识和经验的欠缺,学生在回答问题或表演时有可能出现无话可说或严重离题的现象。以后遇到这种情况,我就要特别注意评价的技巧,多鼓励,少批评,以免打击学生的积极性。
