Task-based reading consists of words and charts. First, write a short essay, which can be narrative, explanatory or argumentative, with a wide range of topics, involving humanities, geography, history, sports and other fields. Then, show the information in the text in the form of a chart and give 10 spaces for students to fill in the correct vocabulary. Most of these charts are in the form of "tree diagram" and "table diagram" or let students further analyze, summarize, summarize and summarize the information in the text on the basis of reading the given materials, and fill in the relevant vocabulary correctly in the horizontal lines. A high-quality task-based reading is not easy to understand and do, and often has a certain "gradient", usually from basic crossword questions to intermediate questions and then to difficult questions, so students must be familiar with the characteristics of this type of reading, so that they can know fairly well.
Second, pay attention to the content of the exam.
The vocabulary investigation in task-based reading is not simply to find out the relevant vocabulary from the text and copy it into the chart, but to understand the content of the article on the basis of grasping the main idea of the article, not only to understand the details, but also to infer, judge, summarize and synthesize the main content of the article. The study of vocabulary includes: the change of noun singular and plural, the tense and voice of verbs, the change of adjectives and adverbs, and the substitution of comparative degree or superlative degree. The conversion between synonyms (groups) and antonyms (groups) involves the collocation of fixed phrases, the definition of words, the summary commonly used in articles and common vocabulary. When doing this problem, students should not be limited to the surface of the article, but should carefully scrutinize and use the rich vocabulary knowledge accumulated at ordinary times to carefully complete their own vocabulary.
Third, insight into problem-solving skills
Doing task-based reading can be divided into three steps. The first step is skimming and scanning. The second step is to read carefully; The third step is inspection.
1. skimming and scanning (skimming and scanning)
Skimming is to browse the title requirements first, then read the full text quickly, grasp the central idea of the article, and clarify the author's intention, especially by reading the title, headline, first and last sentences, first and last paragraphs, we can infer the main idea of the article; Scanning is to quickly browse the contents of the chart, grasp the frame structure of the chart, and find keywords and phrases. You don't need to read the whole chart word for word, pay attention to the key points, discard irrelevant information, and lay a good foundation for filling in vocabulary correctly.
2. Read carefully (read carefully)
After mastering the outline and chart information of the article through fast reading, students should carefully read the detailed information in the article, especially the contents related to the vocabulary to be filled in the chart, not only grasp the author's ideas, but also pay attention to the details involved in the article, especially "6W+ 1H", that is, who, where, what, why and what. Through the grasp of people, time, place, story, causal relationship of things, author's attitude, writing purpose, etc. In the article, we can reason, judge, summarize and summarize the information needed in the chart, and fill in the missing words in the chart correctly. Usually, there are four words to fill in:
(1) Fill in the words in the original text (about 1 minute)
(2) morphological changes (about 2~3 points), pay attention to the changes of nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech.
(3) Substitution of synonyms (groups) and conversion of synonyms (groups) and antonyms (groups) (about 2 points)
(4) Summarize, summarize and summarize the words to be filled in your own language (about 2~3 points)
This is the most difficult task in task reading. First of all, we should find the key words, make clear the sentence structure and meaning, and then we can fill in the required vocabulary accurately after careful reasoning. If there is a slight deviation, the text will not convey meaning and it is easy to lose points.
3. Check (proofread)
This is an essential part of task-based reading, also called back reading. After filling in all the blanks, students must go back and check the words carefully to ensure that the words are spelled correctly, capitalized correctly and meet all the requirements of the words. At the same time, the handwriting should be beautiful and the paper surface should be clean.
Fourth, improve the ability to do problems.
Task-based reading focuses on the comprehensive application ability of students' reading comprehension. How to cultivate students' reading ability and improve their reading level in daily life is not a one-off event, but a long-term unremitting work. In teaching, we should pay attention to the following aspects of training:
1. Read the article according to the textbook and strengthen the training of reading ability.
It is an effective way to cultivate students' reading comprehension ability to make full use of reading articles in textbooks and pay attention to pre-reading training, fast reading training, caring reading training and post-reading training, so that students can grasp the main idea in fast reading, obtain detailed information in careful reading, deal with detailed problems, clarify the author's thinking and writing intention, and summarize the main idea of the article.
2. Strengthen the study and application of grammar, and enhance the analysis and understanding of sentence structure.
Paying attention to grammar learning is an important link to improve students' task-based reading ability. With a solid grammar foundation, students' understanding of part of speech, word form and sentence structure will be enhanced, thus strengthening their understanding of the article. Teaching grammar well and practicing more will make students draw inferences from others and lay a solid foundation for task-based reading. Of course, mastering vocabulary is essential.
3. Collect interesting reading articles to stimulate students' reading interest and improve their fast reading ability.
Interest is the best teacher, and the improvement of students' fast reading ability comes from the cultivation of daily reading speed. Usually, students are interested in collecting a lot of materials in teaching, designing related reading topics for effective training and broadening students' knowledge. Over time, students' reading level will definitely go up a step.
4. Pay attention to limited reading training and improve students' problem-solving ability.
Task-based reading in Jiangsu College Entrance Examination takes up 10 spaces and takes about 15 minutes to complete. In 65,438+05 minutes, students should not only read the given article, but also browse the chart structure and analyze the information related to the filled words. Some difficult words usually require repeated reading and careful thinking before they can be completed. So 15 minutes is very tense.
In short, only by attaching importance to the training of task-based reading questions, basing on two basics, laying a solid foundation, understanding the steps of doing problems, teaching problem-solving methods, paying attention to the training and cultivation of problem-solving ability, and following the principle of gradual and effective reading, the improvement of students' task-based reading ability is just around the corner, and I believe it will play a prominent role in the college entrance examination.
