在進行閱讀理解策略的教學時,教師的提問非常重要,教師的提問能引發學生的思考,但因為學生學習的英語句型有限,因此教師在提問時,需要複雜的思考簡化成有系統的步驟。例如教師要學生比較教材中女主角花木蘭與朋友的異同時,因為無法用Can
you tell me what’s the same and different characteristics between
Mulan and Han?老師就循序漸進的引導:
T: What do you think about Mulan?
S: She is a girl.
T: Is Han a girl? (引導學生以同一個要素進行比較)
S:No,he is a boy.
T: So, they are different. You must write “a girl ”here, write”
a boy” here.(老師一邊解釋,一邊將a girl寫在Diagram圖木蘭的圈內,將a boy寫在Diagram圖Han的圈內
)
T:What else?
S: Han is a soldier.
T: Good. Is Mulan a soldier?
S: Yes, she is a soldier.
T: So, they are the same. You can write “a solder“ here.
(老師一邊解釋,一邊將a
solder寫在Diagram圖兩者交疊的圈內)
