序言

语言表达能力是一个人总体能力中非常重要的一部分,是一个人逻辑思维能力、理性分析能力、组织能力、决策能力、感召能力、个人魅力的总体表现。而语言表达中的幽默、哲理又是一个人智慧的体现。

在公众面前发表演讲是衡量一个人语言运用能力的重要标志。能用英语和他人就一个主题进行辩论是外语学习较高层次的要求;写演讲稿也是写作的高层次要求,因为演讲稿是一种特殊的文体,从用词、修辞、句子结构到篇章结构都有严格的要求。从不同的方位和各个层次把问题分析得有条有理,给听众提供信服的证据和结论也是演讲家必备的能之一。高等教育不仅要培养工程师、教师、科学家、医生、各种管理人员,同时培养企业领导人、国家领导人以及雄辩的演讲家和辩论家也是高等教育的目标之一.要培养良好的语言表达能力需要大量的语言操练和科学思维的训练, 同时要加强背诵讲稿的能力。里根总统在当演员是就练成了非凡的记忆力。演讲时配合得当的手势、恰如其分的面部表情,以及清晰的发音,准确的句子和词的重音都是需要长期训练的。

Basic requirements for Public Speech and Debate Speeches are not magic.A speech is a combination of information and opinion

written on paper and spoken.If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important.The following are the basic requirements for a public speech.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.The speech should focus on one topic so that the audience can easily get the gist.The speech that covers too many thoughts, opinions or ideas could only confuse the audience.No speech should last more than 20 minutes.The more important the message, the less time required to say it.The more you speak, the more boring the audient find it is.In other words, the shorter your speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!The Gettysburg Address given by President Lincoln lasted only about 3 minutes.Complicated sentence patterns should be avoided.And parallel structure may very often produce amazing effect.Choose your words carefully.It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and comprehensible the first time they are spoken.A clear pronunciation is necessary since a lot of words sound alike and the speaker has to give a distinct pronunciation of every word, but sometimes he has to speak very slowly, sometimes very quickly with exciting rhythm.With the help of gesture, the speaker sometimes has to invite the audience for participation, resulting in an exciting atmosphere.Humor is vital.Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the top.Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke at the beginning of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter.It helped him relax.It also helped the audience relax.While debating with others, the most important is to collect convincing facts or data to support your point of view and come to a convincing conclusion.Debating is an art that needs techniques as well as intensive training.The rational analysis of the question concerned and a quick response are based on the participant’s wide range of knowledge.Don’t forget to say thanks.Say your thanks in the manner or with the tone.Offer a compliment or a warm word whenever you can.英语演讲及辩论课程计划

篇2:英语演讲与辩论 课程教学大纲

一、引言

英语演讲与辩论是英语语言综合能力的体现。随着英语风行全球及国际间往来的频繁,人们用英语发表演说或进行辩论的机会越来越多:正式的学术报告,外国友人的宴会,各级各类的演讲与辩论比赛,等等。英语演讲与辩论是学生必须掌握的基本技能,理应在学校教育中受到重视。《普通高中英语课程标准》(实验)在语言技能目标(八级)中有这样的表述:“能经过准备就一般话题作3钟演讲。”九级的目标描述是:“能经过准备就一些专题作5-10分钟演讲,并回答有关提问。”而且,讲演与辩论作为语言应用类,也被列为高中任意选修课之一。

英语演讲与辩论不仅是一个选修课模块,也可作为常规课堂教学的一种方法,用以训练学生的口语表达能力。

二、课堂演讲实例:Are we Endangered?

本课题取材于新版全日制普通高级中学教科书(必修)Book 1A, Unit 10.教学目标:

1、引导学生了解一些动物濒危的现状,提高环境意识。

2、指导学生分析动物濒危的原因,并探讨保护环境的办法。

3、提高学生自主学习意识和合作精神,培养学生在公共场合连续发言的能力及表达自己观点的策略。

教学重点:

学生对环境知识的掌握及运用。

教学难点:

以公众演讲方式提高学生当众讲话能力。

教学方法:

任务语言教学法;情境教学法。

教学步骤:

1、情景导入

播放Michael Jackson 的歌曲《Earth song 》MTV。创设情景,导入课题。

2、图片激趣

—展示一些濒危动物的图片(学生预先搜集好的),学生小组讨论,找出这些动物濒危的原因。

—教师点评,引导学生归纳演讲技巧(body language, eye contact, speech, pronunciation , facial expression_r_r, etc.)

此环节循序渐进地使学生深入进语言情景中。

3、设定赛程。

—以竞赛形式、小组为单位划分赛区,选出相应的选手、评委、计时员等。—制定评分标准:Content, Language ability, Voice, Stage performance, Time control, Answers to the questions, etc.4、选手展示:

此环节旨在充分考虑学生的认知水平与接受能力,使其有据可依,步步深入,在有相当难度的挑战中提高自身的口语表达能力。

5、反馈评价:

—学生互评。选手进入其他各组交流,征询反馈意见;选出优胜者,各组代表评价。

—选手自评。自我评价使学生体会自身不足,认清努力方向。

—教师评价并小结。

本课旨在针对学生交际操练匮乏、开口意识薄弱、语言语调不规范等弱势,试图充分挖掘教材,把课堂还给学生,并体现语言是文化的载体这一论断。

三、课堂辩论实例:Is it right or wrong to use animals in experiments? 本课题取材于新版全日制普通高级中学教科书(必修)Book 1B, Unit 16.教学目标:

1、引导学生就“动物实验”话题做发挥性语言表述,强化语言知识。

2、指导学生明确英语辩论的特点、技巧,提高他们的思维应变能力。

教学难点:

以“辩论”的操练形式强化学生的英语思维能力,在公众场合的听说能力及临场应变能力。

教学过程:

1.准备

—提供辩题,整理材料:将学生分为正方和反方两组,利用教材

“Integrating Skills”中的材料和学生已有的知识,整理辩论初稿,并设定英语辩论的实施方案、步骤及所要采取的谋略。

—交流互补,理清思路:通过师生交流,资料的整理,呈现英语辩论的特点、技巧、评价标准及角色要求。

A、The first affirmative speaker must: define the topic;present the affirmative’s team line;begins arguments against the negative side.B、The first negative must: accept or reject the definition;present the negative team line;rebut some of the main points of the first affirmative speaker;presents strong negative arguments.C、The second affirmative must: reaffirm the affirmative’s team line;rebut all the remaining points of the negative’s case;present a summary of the affirmative’s case;round off the debate for the affirmative.D、The second negative must: reaffirm the negative’s team line;rebut all the remaining points of the affirmative’s case;present a summary of the negative’s case.2、实施:

准备阶段为学生了解过程、明确思路做好一定的铺垫。由此,辩论开始。现将正反两方的部分观点归纳如下:

Positive: It is right to use animals in experiments.Argument

1、Animal testing has helped to develop medicines against many diseases.Doctors cam become more skilled from working on animals.Argument

2、Human life is more important than animal life.Millions of animals are killed for food every year.Using animals for medical science is much more important.Argument

3、Few animals feel any pain.They get painkillers and if the experiment does not work, they are killed before they feel pain.Negative: It is wrong to use animals in experiments.Argument

1、Millions of animals die in experiments that are not successful.Doctors can learn the same things from watching other doctors or videos.Argument

2、Animals have the same rights as human beings.Animals are still used to test cleaning products , skin creams and shampoos.There are already many such products;we don’t need more of them.Argument

3、Can we know they don’t feel pain? We have no right to kill them.四、结语

篇3:正确认识英语演讲与辩论课程

一、课程性质

从辩证唯物主义理论的角度来看, 正确认识事物应当先认清其本质。本质决定现象, 现象要通过本质体现出来, 要透过现象抓住事物的本质。英语演讲与辩论课程旨在向学生介绍英语演讲与辩论的要领, 策略, 技巧, 通过大量多媒体资料观摩和课堂实践, 学会演讲的方法, 逐步培养, 训练学生的交际能力和演讲与思辨的能力, 使学生能够富有逻辑地, 艺术性地, 策略性地表达自己的观点, 成功地说服观众。从中可以看出口语表达能力的训练是现象, 其本质在于培养训练学生看问题深度和广度的拓展。就其性质而言, 演讲是表象, 思辨是实质。

二、社会需求

演讲指演讲者在特定的时间和环境中, 运用口语和体态语为载体, 向听众传播信息的一种社会活动。即演讲就是一种有观众的讲话。也就是说, 大家在生活, 学习, 工作中几乎从未停歇地做着大大小小, 种类繁多的演讲。演讲已经成为人们不可或缺的一个重要社会活动, 其重要性更是在政治、经济、文化、教育、生活等各领域内得到了突出体现。

但大多数人对“演讲”理解过窄, 认为演讲是在正式的场合和严肃的气氛下进行的, 甚至是带有一定政治色彩的活动, 例如领导的讲话、报告、座谈会发言, 律师的法庭陈词等。人们带着崇敬的学习心态去聆听去观摩他人的成功演讲, 却羞于积极主动地畅谈自己的心灵感悟, 从而压抑了其演讲能力上的突破, 局限了其对演讲的正确认识。其实, 演讲包含十分宽泛的内容, 像欢迎辞、祝酒辞、答谢辞、婚礼致辞, 导游对景点的介绍, 推销人员对产品的宣传, 主持人主持节目等也都是演讲的丰富组成部分。

《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要》 (2010-2020年) 明确指出, 中国要“借鉴国际上先进的教育理念和教育经验, 促进我国的教育改革发展, 提升我国教育的国际地位, 影响力和竞争力。适应国家经济社会对外开放的要求, 培养大批具有国际视野, 通晓国际规则, 能够参与国际事务和国际竞争的国际化人才。”目前, 中国教育与国际接轨需要语言作为载体, 大学生英语演讲整体水平的提升能够增强其跨文化交流能力, 促进其了解西方文化的积极性, 激发其对外传播中国文化的热情, 更为熟练地参与到国际事务和国际竞争中去。

三、职场需求

语言表达能力是是一个人逻辑思维能力、理性分析能力、组织能力、决策能力、感召能力、个人魅力的总体表现。在公众面前发表演讲是衡量一个人语言运用能力的重要标志。能用英语进行主题辩论是外语学习较高层次的要求。

研究报告表明, 即便是在高度专业的领域, 雇主在确定招聘或升职的人选时也会坚持雇员的语言交流能力列为最重要或是近乎重要的技能。一项针对中国500名公司管理和专业人员的调查表明, 听说能力是他们工作中所需要的最重要的英语技能。今后中国会需要越来越多的英语演讲人才。

四、指导意义

首先, 要正确地区分英语演讲与辩论课和英语口语课。许多师生在正确认识前者重要性方面, 时常会偷换概念, 认为前者是以英语为载体的一门口语训练课程, 这实际上是把它看做是英语口语课的一种变身, 或外语角的训练场地之一。人们在感受全球化经济发展的同时, 也放大了对英语的崇拜, 盲目地认为说英语即使用英语, 这也是从现实的角度折射出来大众对这门课程正确认识的欠缺。

其实, 它与英语口语课联系紧密, 但也有显著区别。二者都是以训练学习者口语会话能力为指导方向的课程, 但二者在目标设定上层次截然不同。后者侧重于学习者日常会话锻炼, 前者则更侧重于会话深度和力度训练。即前者是教学生把想法观点正确地表达出来, 通过运用演讲技巧和辩论思维使其语言富有魅力, 说服力和感染力。前者要求学习者从“会说话”阶段向“说得好”阶段推进。后者只是让学习者把心中所想用英语说出来, 而前者更着重于让学习者用丰富的语言去征服听众, 不仅要求学习者流畅地表达自身观点想法, 更强调其就实际环境中对方的反馈做出准确迅速思考, 从而更有效地说明自身意图, 并成功地说服和激励他人, 实现自身目的。

从全方位能力培养的角度来说, 前者的锻炼则更贴近于学习者未来职场实践操作需求。学以致用是其课程训练在职场上的直接体现。现今社会对大学生的职场需求不仅指他们把专业理论知识转换成直接经济价值的能力, 还包括在职场活动中人际交往能力, 组织策划能力, 临场应变能力, 团队协调能力和对工作环境的迅速适应能力等。这类能力可能体现在工作岗位的竞聘中, 与同事之间就工作内容上的细节讨论中, 部门策划案的提出, 宣讲过程中, 企业产品的推广, 营销活动中, 与客户谈判沟通协调进程中等。这些活动对于大学生的口语会话和逻辑思辨能力的要求也反映出现今社会发展对高校人才培养的全方位需求。

从良好心态培养的角度来说, 英语演讲与辩论课上的锻炼对学习者自身做人做事态度的养成有着积极作用。课程对于学生思辨和合作能力的要求在培养学生积极行动的心态, 相互学习的心态, 乐于给予的心态, 换位思考的心态以及包容合作的心态上起到了实战演练的作用, 提前让学生在模拟活动中感受和经历未来职场生存中的各种挑战, 从而弥补了其在对职场环境认识上的不足, 帮助其根据现实的环境调整自己的期望值和目标。

英语演讲与辩论是一门理论和实践并重的课程, 正确认识其重要性对于高校人才培养和学生职场求存都有着重要的指导意义。

在人类历史上,演讲与辩论作为一种语言艺术在传播思想、建立学说方面扮演了重要的角色。在西方文明史上其历史可以追溯到以柏拉图为代表的古希腊时期,而在中国,其历史可以追溯到百家争鸣的春秋战国时期。当今世界,在很多国家尤其是美国,演讲与辩论已经成为了大学生的一门必修课程。近些年来,随着英语专业人才培养要求的提高和英语专业建设的发展,演讲与辩论课程在越来越多的中国高校获得了越来越高的重视度。特别是CCTV杯大学生英语演讲比赛、21世纪杯英语演讲比赛,以及外研社杯英语辩论赛等大型英语演讲比赛和英语辩论赛的进行,更是激发了英语专业学生对于英语演讲与辩论技巧的关注和进行探索的热情。

英语演讲与辩论课程不同于其他的理论性课程,具有突出的实践性特点,在课堂教学中改变了以老师讲述为主的课堂惯例,更多地要求以学生为主体的互动式教学。此课程的目的并不是将每位学生都培养成演说家,而是让学生在活跃的课堂氛围中,在语言表述能力得到提高的同时,还能在交际能力、心理素质以及思辨能力等多方面有全面的提高。

2 . 英语演讲与辩论课程对语言能力的提高

要成为一个优秀的演讲家,首先要具备的是对于语言的掌控能力。因此,在此课程的教学中无疑会将提升学生的语言能力放在首位。

首先,为了在公众场合流畅地表达个人思想,就要提高学生的口头表达能力。在口头表达中,有两个重要的指标,即准确度和流利度。准确度主要是考察演讲者是否有正确、清晰的发音,流利度主要考察演讲者是否能连贯地表达个人思想,有没有出现过多的、不必要的停顿和重复。在传统课堂中,老师是主要的课堂讲述者。而在演讲与辩论的课堂中,学生成为了主要的讲述者,通过一系列的课堂活动,督促学生有意识地纠正个人发音上的瑕疵,使个人的表达更加流畅。

其次,很多学生在学习中发现,仅仅做到发音标准,对于演讲和辩论来说还远远不够。如何做到言之有物,如何做到言之有理,都还需要学生掌握丰富的信息。而阅读可以给学生带来这些丰富的材料。在学生准备演讲与辩论的过程中,会阅读大量的中英文资料,在此过程中,学生的阅读能力也得到了提升。

第三,英语演讲与辩论还可以提高学生的写作水平。演讲稿和辩论词不同于一般的应试作文,也不是简单的词汇堆砌和句子排列,而是如何将个人思想有逻辑性地、有条理性地展示给自己的听众。因此成功的演讲与辩论都是以好的演讲稿和优秀的辩论词为基础的。在撰写演讲词时,学生需要考虑如何有效地运用自己所掌握的资料,形成逻辑性鲜明、感染力强的文字。同时为了保证自己在讲述时思维的清晰,学生还需要思考如何将文章内容有条不紊、条理清楚地展开。在反复推敲,反复修改个人演讲稿的过程中,对学生写作能力的提高无疑是有效的。

3 . 英语演讲与辩论课程对交际能力的提高

在英语演讲与辩论课程中,笔者所采取的是以学生为主的互动性教学。因此在教学中,会通过小组展示(presentation)和讨论会(seminar)的形式让学生充分地参与课堂教学。在小组展示中,为了使本小组有好的表现,各个成员之间要进行有效地合作,因此英语演讲与辩论课程可以有效地激发学生积极与他人沟通与协作的能力。辩论活动更是需要小组成员的合作默契,才能快速、准确地找到对方的失误和不严谨之处。在课堂教学中,学生会自由组合自己的小组成员,笔者会引导学生找到各自的优劣势,随后学生通过彼此的交流和讨论,决定每个成员在小组中所承担的人物和角色,尽量让每个成员都将个人的长处发挥到极致,尽可能多地得到老师和同学的赞许和认同。

如果说演讲者和辩手的个人准备属于主观环境准备的话,那么对于观众,场合、情景等因素的准备就属于客观环境的准备。而此过程也是主观环境和客观环境的交流。在课堂教学中,每一个小组展示完之后,笔者都会安排学生进行评价。评价的内容包括讲述内容、演讲者的肢体语言、与观众的交流等多方面进行,甚至有些学生还可以就演讲内容对演讲者进行提问。通过这个环节,演讲者可以清楚地了解自己的优势和缺点,帮助他们发掘自身的潜能。

从交流策略上来说,学生的心理素质也是影响交流效果的重要因素。而自信心是增强心理素质的重要砝码。在英语演讲与辩论课程中,学生的自信心是可以得到提高的。在公众场合,很多学生会出现语言表达能力不强、词不达意、怯场、焦虑等现象。在课堂教学中,笔者通过以下方面帮助学生建立自信心。首先通过课堂讨论,让学生充分认识到自己的优点和缺点;其次,通过一些真实案例,让学生明白怯场绝对不是个案,而是很多人都会出现的;再次,通过课堂的不断练习,附加老师和同学对于个人优势的赞许,从而让学生逐步克服个人的紧张和焦虑。在当代社会,自信心对于学生的学习和将来的工作都会产生重大的影响。因此,帮助学生提升他们的自信心和协作精神有助于他们面对未来的各项挑战。

4 . 英语演讲与辩论课程对思辨能力的提高

通过与学生的交流,笔者发现很多学生反映此课程学习的最大难点在于两方面。其一:在表达个人观点时,内容空泛、缺乏逻辑性;其二,在倾听他人观点时,只是被动地去接受他人的观点,很难对观点进行辨析。这两种现象除了表明学生语言能力上的缺失外,更多说明了学生在思辨能力上的匮乏。孔子曾经说过:“学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。”因此如何培养学生的思辨性就成为了课堂教学的一个重点。思辨能力体现在对事物关系的清晰认知以及对他人观点的质疑上。在英语演讲与辩论课程的学习中,笔者会要求学生对话题进行分析,提出个人的观点,并提出相应适当的、有力的论证。其次,通过课堂讨论,要求学生提出他人观点的合理之处和不足之处,并就不足之处提出个人的看法。最后,请观点受到质疑的同学进一步阐释个人的观点。这样在听、问、说的过程中,学生的思想得到了碰撞,老师可以在此基础上鼓励他们去思考一系列的问题:该话题可以从哪些方面进行讲述?这些观点应该用哪些例证来进行支撑?哪些观点得到了大家的认同?哪些观点受到了质疑?这些观点为什么会被反驳?反驳的观点是否正确?可以从哪些方面进一步阐释个人观点?通过这样反复的练习,学生针对问题独立思考的能力以及提出个人观点的能力都能得到提高。

5 . 结语

英语演讲与辩论课程不仅仅是以提高学生语言能力为目标的课程,更多注重了学生的语言运用能力、交际能力以及认识问题、分析问题和解决问题的思辨能力等综合素养的提升。所以英语演讲与辩论课程的教学,不仅有利于学生专业技能的提高,更有利于将学生培养成为符合现代社会需求的高素质复合型人才。
