excited when playing games.The world of the computer games is so beautiful and colorful that they even can’t distinguish what is the virtual world and what is the real world.Games seemed like everything of their life.They can give up studying, give up having a meal, give up sleeping, give up making friends with others, give up staying with family, but what they can't give up is playing games.However, their teachers and parents are worried about this.Teachers don't want to see the scene that their students are thinking about how to play games in the class.Usually, just a part of students come to class, the other are playing games instead of having classes.Parents told their children that they shall study hard at school when their children leave home.But what upsets the parents is that the children are just playing online games at school.Online game sometimes can alleviate fatigue, but youngsters can’t be

會(huì)長(zhǎng)采訪稿:
問題1:你可以談一下你社團(tuán)目前的成果嗎?人數(shù)規(guī)模之類的?
回答:我們社團(tuán)是一個(gè)規(guī)模比較小的的社團(tuán),參加的成員也大多都是外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院英語(yǔ)系的同學(xué),有少量同學(xué)是小語(yǔ)種的或是非語(yǔ)言類專業(yè)的???cè)藬?shù)大多是五十人左右。問題2:你是在人員管理上采取什么方式?比如招新,部門的設(shè)立,人員分派,基礎(chǔ)活動(dòng)安排? 回答:這個(gè)社團(tuán)并不是我建立的,說到底我只是一個(gè)傳承人,那么你所說的這些都是在社團(tuán)成立之初時(shí),第一任會(huì)長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)建立好的,再加上后幾任會(huì)長(zhǎng)的不斷補(bǔ)充完美化,其實(shí)整個(gè)體系到我這里已經(jīng)是很完善了。那么你說的這些例行的活動(dòng)只用按照已有的方法去完成實(shí)施就好。問題3:你每天或是每周會(huì)花多少時(shí)間在辨協(xié)上?
回答:你也知道我們每周是有一些固定活動(dòng)的,那么除去這些大家都有義務(wù)參加的活動(dòng)以外。我大概每天會(huì)花半個(gè)小時(shí)處理社團(tuán)的事情。在有大型活動(dòng)時(shí),需要花費(fèi)的時(shí)間就更長(zhǎng) 問題4:這每天的半個(gè)小時(shí)一般會(huì)用處理什么事情?
回答:第一,是思考在原有的基礎(chǔ)之上,我們社團(tuán)還能改進(jìn)什么,我們社團(tuán)還有沒有什么更遠(yuǎn)的既定目標(biāo),如我們社團(tuán)的基本英語(yǔ)辯論水平要達(dá)到什么程度,我們社團(tuán)要在比賽上舉得什么名次,如何讓更多的非英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的人了解英語(yǔ)辯論的不同形式,推廣英語(yǔ)辯論。第二,是我能為我們社團(tuán)的成員在已有活動(dòng)的基礎(chǔ)上安排一些更有新意,更能提高他們的學(xué)術(shù)成績(jī)的活動(dòng)或是比賽。第三,如何與其他高校的英語(yǔ)辯論協(xié)會(huì)保持良好的友誼關(guān)系,能盡可能多的在周末舉行友誼辯論賽,以明了我們辯論協(xié)會(huì)在華中地區(qū)乃至全國(guó)的水平,從而更加明了我們進(jìn)步的方法。第四,這一點(diǎn)就是與學(xué)校的安排有關(guān)。如何更好協(xié)助外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院舉辦各種英語(yǔ)辯論賽,校級(jí),市級(jí),國(guó)際級(jí)等等。問題5:你一般用什么時(shí)間來思考這些問題?
回答:你也可以看出這些問題基本上都是需要思考的,真正需要?jiǎng)邮謺鴮懙暮苌伲晕移綍r(shí)沒有固定的時(shí)間去做這些工作?;旧暇褪巧蠈W(xué)路上,去食堂的路上,這樣零散的時(shí)間想一下,并不是整塊的時(shí)間??瓷先タ赡懿挥煤芏鄷r(shí)間。但是我想這些時(shí)間加起來應(yīng)該有半個(gè)小時(shí)。問題6:那么在具體執(zhí)行活動(dòng)的時(shí)候,你會(huì)采取什么措施?
回答:其實(shí)我基本上屬于不管事的,因?yàn)槲覀兩鐖F(tuán)的職務(wù)分配是十分到位的。那么基本上所有的活動(dòng)都有固定的人在安排在協(xié)調(diào)。我也是十分信任他們的能力的。大家都是學(xué)生,也都不是職業(yè)管理人員,基本上不存在好壞之說。而且事實(shí)證明這樣的管理也是可行的。那么我也會(huì)有時(shí)問一下負(fù)責(zé)人啊,部長(zhǎng)之類看在執(zhí)行過程中有什么困難是需要我去解決的。而且我們也有例會(huì),在那時(shí)大家可以自由發(fā)言,有什么想法,有什么新活動(dòng),有什么反思的,大家都會(huì)一起去想辦法。
問題7:近期有什么例子證明你的管理是合理的? 回答:我們?cè)谏现芴欤褪撬脑乱惶?hào)的上午才和武大的英語(yǔ)辯論協(xié)會(huì)進(jìn)行了一場(chǎng)友誼賽。那么這場(chǎng)比賽就是我們副會(huì)長(zhǎng)自己聯(lián)系的,她告訴我了想法我覺得好,就直接全權(quán)交給她再分配給有關(guān)部門執(zhí)行。那么,效果也是很好的。我們兩個(gè)學(xué)校對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)都很滿意。問題8:你不擔(dān)心大家的積極性無法被調(diào)動(dòng)嗎?
回答:首先因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)辯論系會(huì)的都是英語(yǔ)系的同學(xué)居多,那么這是一個(gè)相對(duì)較小的圈子,如果一個(gè)人不負(fù)責(zé),那么很可能大家都對(duì)他有意見,很快年級(jí)以及其他同學(xué)就會(huì)知道,那么對(duì)這個(gè)同學(xué)名聲會(huì)有影響。大家基本上都不會(huì)去冒險(xiǎn)。其次,大家加入社團(tuán)都是為了提高英語(yǔ)水平,那么你長(zhǎng)久的不參加練習(xí),自然而然的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)能力就不能和其他同學(xué)相提并論,久而久之,你自己也就知道要去努力。最后,我們對(duì)我們的常規(guī)活動(dòng)是由很嚴(yán)格的管理的,無故缺席一定次數(shù)的同學(xué),那么我們就會(huì)相應(yīng)的減少他進(jìn)入辯論隊(duì)的機(jī)會(huì),減少他的參賽資格。問題9:你的放任管理不怕大家不服嗎?
回答:其實(shí)多少會(huì)有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心,但是我們的副會(huì)長(zhǎng),部長(zhǎng)基本上都是我的同學(xué),甚至有些是同班同學(xué)。像我們的副會(huì)長(zhǎng),就是我的同班同學(xué)。那么相當(dāng)于大部分的管理層都是我的朋友熟人,在一定程度上他們是無條件支持我的正確決定的。而且有很多事情按照校社團(tuán)的規(guī)定是必須經(jīng)過社長(zhǎng)簽字批準(zhǔn)的,所以從一定程度上來說,有些事情他們沒有我也干不了。再者,我們有很多事情也不是我說了算的,是制度決定的,很多獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),懲罰,選舉都是長(zhǎng)久以來一直延續(xù)的制度決定的,我也沒有權(quán)利也不可能對(duì)其進(jìn)行什么大幅度的不好的修改。
問題10:你是怎么和校方進(jìn)行協(xié)商的這種活動(dòng)安排的?
回答:因?yàn)槲覀儽旧砭褪菍儆趯W(xué)習(xí)類的社團(tuán),學(xué)校本身就是很支持我們的。我們還有教練隊(duì)。那么這些老師也會(huì)協(xié)助我們和學(xué)校進(jìn)行協(xié)商,基本上只要照著程序走就好。

成員采訪記錄
(注:所問問題基本相同所以相似的答案一起歸納,所有采訪均是分開進(jìn)行保證了信息的基本準(zhǔn)確性)問題1:你如何評(píng)級(jí)會(huì)長(zhǎng)的工作?
回答:會(huì)長(zhǎng)工作基本上十分認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé),就是最近由于有些忙于自己出國(guó)交換生的事情有點(diǎn)沒有以前那么盡心盡力,再加上換屆馬上來臨,有很多工作都轉(zhuǎn)交給大一去鍛煉去了。問題2:你覺得會(huì)長(zhǎng)在工作時(shí)具有什么樣的個(gè)性?
回答:其實(shí)我們會(huì)長(zhǎng)比我們絕大多數(shù)大二都要小,開會(huì)分配任務(wù)時(shí)也是輕聲細(xì)語(yǔ),笑容可掬的,十分沒有架子。而且會(huì)長(zhǎng)十分信任我們,把很多權(quán)力直接下放給了我們部長(zhǎng)級(jí)別,而且他也很放心我們?cè)侔压ぷ鞣峙浣o成員。(不同觀點(diǎn)在于:有的11級(jí)的部長(zhǎng)覺得會(huì)長(zhǎng)有時(shí)十分嚴(yán)格的,就是不太喜歡一遍遍講同一個(gè)任務(wù),但是他對(duì)于初次開始工作的人犯的錯(cuò)誤還是很能接受的。)
問題3:你覺得會(huì)長(zhǎng)這樣的管理方式是有效的嗎?
回答:基本有效。因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)主要還是自己個(gè)人的事情。我們辯論協(xié)會(huì)只可能是起到一個(gè)輔助作用,主要還是靠自己。如果我們給成員太過多的負(fù)擔(dān),會(huì)讓他們十分緊張,甚至是想放棄,反而起不到社團(tuán)本身的目的。我覺得會(huì)長(zhǎng)這種允許百花齊發(fā),大家自主思考的管理方式是合乎我們社團(tuán)的。
(副會(huì)長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該限定辯論團(tuán)隊(duì),不過她表示這只是辯論的小問題。)問題4:會(huì)長(zhǎng)平時(shí)善于與你們溝通嗎?
回答:當(dāng)然沒有特別的進(jìn)行溝通,但是因?yàn)榛旧隙荚谝粋€(gè)班級(jí)或者是相鄰的班級(jí)平時(shí)遇到時(shí)候還是會(huì)聊一下,但是沒有什么大問題的時(shí)候,應(yīng)該不會(huì)有事沒事就形式化的聊聊天。
(11級(jí)的部長(zhǎng)以及小語(yǔ)種的部長(zhǎng)表示與會(huì)長(zhǎng)見面機(jī)會(huì)較少,所以溝通機(jī)會(huì)不是很多,但是有大型事宜的時(shí)候會(huì)長(zhǎng)會(huì)主動(dòng)電話通知。)問題5:會(huì)長(zhǎng)是經(jīng)常表?yè)P(yáng)鼓勵(lì)還是批評(píng)居多?
回答:不存在這個(gè)問題,大家都是同學(xué)。我們都叫會(huì)長(zhǎng)“小不點(diǎn)”,所以有什么事情大家也是一起做一起想,如果一定要說還是表?yè)P(yáng)居多。
總結(jié)和評(píng)論
基本上來說這是小規(guī)模的學(xué)術(shù)性的高效的比較自由的社團(tuán)。在校內(nèi)在取得了一定的成就,在校外也獲得了一定的認(rèn)可度。
會(huì)長(zhǎng)的管理方式基本上屬于自由放權(quán)的管理,相對(duì)于人為的管理,更多是按照已有的規(guī)劃計(jì)劃行事。會(huì)長(zhǎng)本身也很重視社團(tuán)的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展,運(yùn)用自己的一些課余時(shí)間也在思考這類的問題。
因?yàn)樯鐖F(tuán)規(guī)模小,管理層之間十分熟絡(luò),學(xué)術(shù)比較強(qiáng),會(huì)長(zhǎng)這樣的管理有一定的可實(shí)施性,但是不適用于大型的,人際關(guān)系復(fù)雜的社會(huì)性的社團(tuán)。而且社團(tuán)活動(dòng)也有可能因?yàn)闀?huì)長(zhǎng)自己的事物有一定程度上的耽誤。
會(huì)長(zhǎng)由于本身年紀(jì)小于一般的部長(zhǎng),所以采訪的管理方式也是十分和善的,這樣也取得了一定的成功。但是倘若大家不是同學(xué),很有可能不能服眾。而且會(huì)長(zhǎng)的主要關(guān)系建立在班級(jí)的基礎(chǔ)之上,導(dǎo)致不是一個(gè)班級(jí)的部長(zhǎng)們很容易被忽視,那么在那一部分工作的安排會(huì)有一定的缺陷,導(dǎo)致整體發(fā)展不均衡。
第四篇:英語(yǔ)演講與辯論教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)詳案
【關(guān)鍵詞】 新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn) / 演講 / 辯論 / 教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)
英語(yǔ)演講與辯論是英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言綜合能力的體現(xiàn)。隨著英語(yǔ)風(fēng)行全球及國(guó)際間往來的頻繁,人們用英語(yǔ)發(fā)表演說或進(jìn)行辯論的機(jī)會(huì)越來越多:正式的學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告,外國(guó)友人的宴會(huì),各級(jí)各類的演講與辯論比賽,等等。英語(yǔ)演講與辯論是學(xué)生必須掌握的基本技能,理應(yīng)在學(xué)校教育中受到重視?!镀胀ǜ咧杏⒄Z(yǔ)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》(實(shí)驗(yàn))在語(yǔ)言技能目標(biāo)(八級(jí))中有這樣的表述:“能經(jīng)過準(zhǔn)備就一般話題作3鐘演講?!本偶?jí)的目標(biāo)描述是:“能經(jīng)過準(zhǔn)備就一些專題作5-10分鐘演講,并回答有關(guān)提問?!倍?,講演與辯論作為語(yǔ)言應(yīng)用類,也已被列為高中任意選修課之一。
英語(yǔ)演講與辯論不僅是一個(gè)選修課模塊,也可作為常規(guī)課堂教學(xué)的一種方法,用以訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的口語(yǔ)表達(dá)能力。把英語(yǔ)演講與辯論作為一種教學(xué)方法應(yīng)用于課堂教學(xué),教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)如下: 辯論主題:Is it right or wrong to use animals in experiments? 教學(xué)目標(biāo):
1、引導(dǎo)學(xué)生就“動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)”話題做發(fā)揮性語(yǔ)言表述,強(qiáng)化語(yǔ)言知識(shí)。
2、指導(dǎo)學(xué)生明確英語(yǔ)辯論的特點(diǎn)、技巧,提高他們的思維應(yīng)變能力。教學(xué)難點(diǎn):
以“辯論”的操練形式強(qiáng)化學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)思維能力,在公眾場(chǎng)合的聽說能力及臨場(chǎng)應(yīng)變能力。Teaching procedures design:
Step 1 Warming up I.Provide the debate topic.II.Divide the students into two groups: the positive and the negative according to their own choices.III.Help students collect materials in groups.IV.Make the first draft of their debate, the design of their debate, the strategies, and standards for assessment, and so on.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.Step 2 Carry out the debating Some of the arguments: I.Positive: It is right to use animals in experiments.Arguments:
1、Animal testing has helped to develop medicines against many diseases.Doctors can become more skilled from working on animals.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.3、Few animals feel any pain.They get painkillers and if the experiment does not work, they are killed before they feel pain.II.Negative: It is wrong to use animals in experiments.Arguments:
1、Millions of animals die in experiments that are not successful.Doctors can learn the same things from watching other doctors or videos.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.3、Can we know they don’t feel pain? We have no right to kill them.Step 3 commenting Offering comments about the debate according to the standards we discussed.Step 4 Summarizing What have you learned in this lesson? Step 5 Homework
Write a short passage about the debate topic, presenting your own opinion and your arguments or reasons.設(shè)計(jì)反思:
演講與辯論不同于一般的口語(yǔ)交際,有其特殊性,教師必須更加靈活地控制課堂,以便最大限度地發(fā)揮學(xué)生現(xiàn)有的語(yǔ)言交際能力,同時(shí)也為他們創(chuàng)造更多的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì),克服各種障礙,積極參與。教師也應(yīng)努力營(yíng)造一種寬容,友善的課堂氣氛,使學(xué)生的演講與辯論活動(dòng)不受到正確或錯(cuò)誤的評(píng)判。此外,教師還應(yīng)積極引導(dǎo),鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生的主動(dòng)參與,使每個(gè)學(xué)生在活動(dòng)中都能得到鍛煉。要以學(xué)生為主體,教師作活動(dòng)的設(shè)計(jì)者、學(xué)生目標(biāo)的引導(dǎo)者和學(xué)習(xí)群體的協(xié)調(diào)者。同時(shí),教師也要提高自身的素質(zhì),不僅要有扎實(shí)的英語(yǔ)專業(yè)知識(shí)、熟練的專業(yè)技能、較強(qiáng)的課堂組織能力,還要有演講與辯論的示范能力,掌握新課程理念,不斷改進(jìn)教學(xué)方法。

序言
語(yǔ)言表達(dá)能力是一個(gè)人總體能力中非常重要的一部分,是一個(gè)人邏輯思維能力、理性分析能力、組織能力、決策能力、感召能力、個(gè)人魅力的總體表現(xiàn)。而語(yǔ)言表達(dá)中的幽默、哲理又是一個(gè)人智慧的體現(xiàn)。
在公眾面前發(fā)表演講是衡量一個(gè)人語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用能力的重要標(biāo)志。能用英語(yǔ)和他人就一個(gè)主題進(jìn)行辯論是外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)較高層次的要求;寫演講稿也是寫作的高層次要求,因?yàn)檠葜v稿是一種特殊的文體,從用詞、修辭、句子結(jié)構(gòu)到篇章結(jié)構(gòu)都有嚴(yán)格的要求。從不同的方位和各個(gè)層次把問題分析得有條有理,給聽眾提供信服的證據(jù)和結(jié)論也是演講家必備的能之一。高等教育不僅要培養(yǎng)工程師、教師、科學(xué)家、醫(yī)生、各種管理人員,同時(shí)培養(yǎng)企業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人、國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人以及雄辯的演講家和辯論家也是高等教育的目標(biāo)之一.要培養(yǎng)良好的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)能力需要大量的語(yǔ)言操練和科學(xué)思維的訓(xùn)練, 同時(shí)要加強(qiáng)背誦講稿的能力。里根總統(tǒng)在當(dāng)演員是就練成了非凡的記憶力。演講時(shí)配合得當(dāng)?shù)氖謩?shì)、恰如其分的面部表情,以及清晰的發(fā)音,準(zhǔn)確的句子和詞的重音都是需要長(zhǎng)期訓(xùn)練的。
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.英語(yǔ)演講及辯論課程計(jì)劃
