首届全国中小学英语阅读教学研讨会5月27日在北京举行并发布《全国中小学生英语课外阅读倡议》，倡议全国中小学生每天坚持利用课外时间阅读20分钟，有选择地阅读，阅读精品，养成良好阅读习惯。

倡议书由全国英语阅读教学研究协作体发布，该协作体由北京市教育学会学科英语教育研究分会发起，并由外语教育教学研究专家、教研员和教师志愿加入。

“希望通过此倡议，呼吁教师、学生、家长重视课外阅读，同时要合理选择和利用好优质阅读资源，养成良好阅读习惯，通过阅读提升英语学习效率。”全国英语阅读教学研究协作体秘书长丁俊华说。

北京外国语大学教授、教育部基础教育英语课程标准研制组核心成员张连仲在接受采访时说，阅读不仅仅是读，而是获取信息和文本互动的过程，需要调用多种感官协作完成。阅读教学也不仅仅是针对阅读，实质上是学习者如何与信息源互动。加强课外阅读，同时也需要英语教育教学方式的改革。

人民教育出版社编审刘道义说，阅读教学要从过去“老师讲，学生读、背、记笔记”的圈子里跳出来，让学生做主人，提高学生的自主性，在阅读中思辨。要利用好数字教育资源，比如微课、慕课等形式，帮助学生通过阅读吸收新的语言和信息。

据北京市教育学会学科英语教育研究分会理事长杨义春介绍，基础教育新课程改革以来，新课标明确了阅读的具体要求。在英语学习中，阅读在培养学生的语言能力、学习能力、

思维品质、文化意识等方面发挥了极其重要的作用。阅读是学生提高英语素养的主要途径，阅读能力也是基础教育要求学生必须掌握的核心技能之一。

教育部基础教育二司技术装备处处长乔玉全说，随着英语教育改革的深化，阅读教学慢慢成为提高英语教育水平的重要要求。英语阅读的深层意义是文化交流，而在培养阅读能力的过程中，教学方式改革很重要，要让阅读与学习、生活真正产生有机的联系。

六年级英语课外阅读短文

六年级英语课外阅读短文 Let's face it: English is a stupid language. 不要怀疑：英语是一种愚蠢的语言。 There is no egg in the eggplant,no ham in the hamburger,and neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.English muffins were not invented in England;and French fries had nothing to do with France. 茄子里没有鸡蛋，汉堡里也没有火腿，在凤梨即没有松木也没有苹果。英国松饼不是在英国发明的;而炸薯条与法国一点关联都没有。 We sometimes take English for granted,but if we examine its paradoxes we find that quicksnad takes you down slowly,boxing rings are square,and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. 我们有时候习惯的以为英语就是这样说的，但如果我们探讨它似是而非的地方，我们会发现流沙是让你慢慢陷下去的，拳击场是方型的，而天竹鼠既不是来自几内亚，更不是猪。 You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down,in which you fill in a form by filling it out,and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on. 你不是不惊讶于这种独特的疯癫语言，比如说你的房子被烧毁时，它是烧起来的，当你填表之时，是要填写出的，而闹钟响起来go off是因为它自己启动了go on。 English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects the creativity of the human raceWhich of course isn't a race at all.That is why when the stars are out they are visible,but when the lights are out they are invisible.And why is it that when I wind up my watch is starts but when I wind up this story it ends! 英语是由人而不是由电脑发明的，它反应的是人类的创造力那当然根本就不是一种竞赛。那就难怪当星星出来out时是看得见的，但是灯光减了out时是看不见的。为什么我给我的手表上紧发条时它就开始走了，而当我完结了这个故事时它结束了。 ests are part of a student's life.The purpose of testing is to translate intellectualperformance into numbers for comparison within the same standards.The EducationalTesting ServiceETShas created different testing programs for different purposes.The SAT iswhat universities look at for undergraduate admission.The Graduate RecordExaminationsGREis for those who are

2019-2020年小学四年级英语课外阅读计划

2019-2020年小学四年级英语课外阅读计划 一、指导思想 以《英语课程标准》和新教育理论为行动指南，全面落实市教研室英语课外阅读指导意见，初步构建课外阅读课程，让阅读成为学生日常的生活方式。通过英语课外阅读，不断丰富学生的阅历，开拓学生的文化视野，体验学习英语的乐趣，树立学好英语的自信心，实现学习英语的真正意义和价值，为未来的学习奠定坚实的基础。 二、课外阅读活动的实施 1. 周密计划建立“漂流”机制 英语课外读本作为学校的图书资料，由专人负责，并设立图书漂流记载本。一个月左右漂流一次，每班由两个学生负责班级图书的借阅、登记、回收和保管整理工作。 四年级起以班级为单位进行图书漂流活动，学生人手一册书，以班级为单位进行漂流。从各个年级的1班起漂，向同年级的其他班级漂流。每生每月平均阅读1本书，每天阅读20分钟左右。如：《朗文小学英语分级阅读》每册共4个单元，要求学生每周阅读一个单元。每个年级课外阅读时间最好统一，以便教师辅导与检查，阅读也可以作为家庭作业的一部分。 2. 确保时间提高“阅读”效率 学生每天都要有至少20分钟的阅读时间，每周一个中午按漂流计划进行《牛津故事乐园》或《朗文分级阅读》的教师指导阅读活动，利用家作布置学生自读，每周的英语社团活动进行英语课外阅读的辅导。让学生自由阅读，自由笔记，摘录好词佳句，仿写经典语句等。 3. 授之以渔使学生“会阅读” 教师在对学生进行课外阅读指导时，应讲授阅读方法。（1）阅读与朗读结合。（2）阅读教学与听、说、读、写结合。（3）阅读与工具书使用的结合。 4. 多元评价促进学生发展 对学生阅读的篇目每周进行统计，对中高年级的阅读笔记经常检查。结合平时的展示活动对学生的课外阅读进行多元评价。可以采取师生评价、生生评价、教师评价与家长评价相结合：制作一份阅读评价表——《我的一周阅读记录单》，请家长合作，对学生一周的阅读情况进行周评，对表现

2011高考英语课外阅读材料 【每两天一篇—阅读+单词学习】 Unit One: How to Improve Your Study Habits TEXT Want to know how to improve your grades without having to spend more time studying? Sounds too good to be true? Well, read on... How to Improve Your Study Habits Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here's how: 1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play. 2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. 3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well. 4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says. 5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on test. 6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent. There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found

如何指导小学生进行英语课外阅读

如何指导小学生进行英语课外阅读 众所周知，小学英语的学习主要目的是在于通过对英语的学习能够让孩子在现实生活中得到运用。而单单的课本学习其词汇量、信息量相对而言少之又少，现在的英语教学需要符合时代的发展，那么作为学校英语教学这块就需要给孩子们提供大量的词汇及信息量，然而在这个过程中课外阅读显得特别的重要。我在英语教学方面尝试了给孩子进行大量的课外阅读，因为我任教的年级是三年级，对于三年级的孩子来说真正的英语学习才算刚刚开始，所以我根据小学英语教学目标，我指定了以下的课外阅读训练方法。 1、、词组的积累。 由于孩子学习的词汇量比较少，所以在教学中我有意识、无意识的给孩子多提供一些课外的词汇量。利用课堂或课外对孩子进行一些“加餐”这样让孩子用自己的记录本把单词、词组记录下来。平时早读课的时候多读读，一个月我们进行一次英语课外词汇量小测验，以激励书签的形式进行表扬。这样长期以来的训练，孩子的词汇量大大增加，也便于提高孩子的英语阅读能力。 2、在图片的帮助下，引导孩子听懂、读懂简单的英语 小故事。 每周二下午专门利用一节英语课用来帮助孩子提高阅读能力。在课堂上给孩子提供四格漫画形式的图片，通过简短的英语小故事的听，根据图片理解意思。引导孩子学习自己阅读小故事。定期在班上开展“我阅读、我越棒|”英语阅读比赛。 3、利用每节课的free talk，给孩子展示自己阅读的内容。 一周安排一次，让孩子回去利用课余时间进行英语小故事的阅读。并利用星期一到星期五的freetalk时间，将自己阅读的小故事在班上进行自我展示的一个表达，班级中进行徽章的奖励。这样的奖励会大大激发孩子说英语的欲望，会大量的阅读。 4、利用好“一起作业”。 “一起作业”中有一项内容就是阅读训练。这是一个孩子们非常愿意参加的一个活动，同时它也是一个作业。充分利用好孩子的参与“游戏”的这种兴趣，对孩子进行阅读训练。一周进行两次的阅读训练，做到批改点评。寓教于乐，何乐而不为呢！

高中课外阅读-英语美文欣赏50(中英双语)

英语美文欣赏50 Run Through the Rain 雨中奔跑 She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout. 她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是 美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。 We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens w ashing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. 我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦 躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地 听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩 水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。 Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain." she said. 小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。 "What?" Mom asked. “什么？”母亲问。 "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. “我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。 "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied. “不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。 This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." 过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。” "We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said. “这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。 "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."

英语阅读：如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料

美联英语提供：英语阅读：如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料 小编给你一个美联英语官方试听课申请链接：https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0b12611644.html,/?tid=16-73374-0我们常说的英语阅读就是读者利用相关的英语知识和非英语知识去解读包含一定英语知识和非英语知识的阅读材料。英语知识是指读者英语语音、词汇、语法以及篇章知识的总和，而非英语知识是指读者英语知识以外的背景知识，即直接或间接获取的知识经验的总和。 在培养学生的英语语言综合运用能力听说读写过程中，阅读能力的提高对于英语学习者来说是重中之重。诚如刘润清教授所总结的那样“正式的外语教学与其他学科教学一样，要想真正掌握一门外语，需要大量的阅读，有独立的思维过程和分析总结过程”。 课外阅读是高中英语教学的必要补充。高中英语大纲明确指出：要提高学生的阅读能力，单纯通过教科书的课文教学是远远不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的课外读物。理由是：第一，现行的课文教学篇目少，篇幅短，不能保证充分的阅读活动;第二，精读教学担负着语言知识教学的任务，所以，课文生词和新的语言结构的密度大，不适用于流畅阅读的训练;第三，精读实际上综合训练，大量的时间用于为语言点的掌握而安排的听、说、读、写操练上，读的专门训练不够。因此，大纲的指出实际上对我们的外语教师提出了更高的、更全面的要求。 我们的理解是，这里的课外阅读即泛读，让学生独立阅读，但又不是“放羊式”的阅读，而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。因此，我们认为泛读既是阅读材料的问题，也是阅读方法的问题，老师应做到以下几点： 首先，给学生选择时应掌握以下原则：(1)思想性强,内容健康; (2)材料难易适合学生的实际水平; (3)题材涉及面广，材料新颖，具有趣味性; (4)文章体载多样化; (5)语言地道、规范。

小学生英语课外阅读故事(五篇)

小学生英语课外阅读故事（五篇） 时间很重要： As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously . But the boy died suddenly that night. Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In time Al became an alcoholic. As the alcoholism progressed, AL began to lose everything he possessed -- his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al's death, I thought, "What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure! " As time went by , I began to revalue my earlier rough judgement . I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring , most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere . I hadn't heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person.

Fulfilling the dream 陈柏霖：实现梦想需要时间和 耐心。 词数 389 建议阅读时间 5 分钟 HOW long will you wait to succeed in your dream career? Ten years or longer, Taiwan actor Bolin Chen would say. The 29-year-old finally earned back all his hard work when he won Best Leading Actor for his role in the popular TV series In Time With You (《我可能不会爱你》) at the 47th Golden Bell Awards, which was held in Taipei on Oct 26. From a very young age, we have a dream, whether it’s to be a painter, a scientist or a writer. But the desire (渴望) to paint, discover or tell stories fades (消褪) as we grow up, until that moment of finding our deep calling hits us. For Chen, this came when he was discovered by director Yee Chih-Yen in front of an ice cream store at the age of 19. Chen had considered becoming an excellent dancer, a model and a singer before h e played the male lead in Yee’s movie Blue Gate Crossing (《蓝色大门》). His first taste of fame with the well-received drama showed him what he really wanted to be. Bolin Chen, 29, won his first award after ten years of acting. XINHUA
