激发兴趣，把握难度，培养说话能力

    2.创设情景串联对话 以往对话教学多采用让学生听对话录音、重复、背诵、模仿编对话等方式。这种操 练往往脱离真实的情景，忽视了语言内容的真实性，教学形式比较呆板，高中生很容易生厌。针对这种情况， 我们的教学不是停留在这个阶段上，而是进一步创设新的情景，培养学生在新的情景中进行交际性操练，努力 达到创造性地运用所学语言知识进行交际。如在教对话时让学生了解词语和句型内容后，充分发挥学生的想 象力，让他们联系新旧知识，创设情景进行对话练习，拓宽学生的思路，取得了较好的效果。有些学生可以把 许多情节串联起来，以对话的形式表演出来，内容贴近学生日常生活实际，所学语言知识得到灵活运用。例如 我们在课本第一、二册中学过Asking the Way，Inquiring about Health， Inquiring about Weather， Asking forStreetDirection；第三册中学到Giving Advice about Having MorePhysical Exercise，他们把 内容串起来编成下列对话：

    S[,1]:(Picking up the phone)Hello, may I speak to LingLing?

    S[,2]:It’s Ling Ling speaking.Is that Zhang Hai?

    S[,1]:Yes, I‘m calling to tell you that our formerclassmate Li Yinis ill in hospita l.

    S[,2]:I’m sorry to hear that. What‘s the matter with him?

    S[,1]:I’m not very clear about that. I‘m only told that heis in the No. Six Hospital of Shan ghai.

    S[,2]: Then we’d better go and see him in the hospital.

    S[,1]:That‘s what I think. He’ll be glad to see us.

    S[,2]:When shall we go?

    S[,1]:How about this Sunday afternoon?

    S[,2]:That‘s a good idea. But by the way, what willthe weather be likethat day?

    S[,1]:I’ve just listened to the weather forecast. Theweatherman saysit will be fine.Andit will not be very hot.The high will be 30℃.

    S[,1]:Let’s meet at the No.224 bus-stop at two.
