108 課綱的理念是希望學生能利用課堂所學,盡可能在生活情境中與三面九項的核心素養做連結,促使學生能夠跨領域、跨學科的學習,進而將所學的知識轉化成能力與態度。我們已基於上述目標編寫了《16 堂培養核心素養的英文閱讀課》(初級篇),而這本接續編寫的「進階篇」的文章與練習難度提升,仍分為十六個主題多元的單元,包括動物生態、生活常識、危機處理、文化淵源、社交旅遊等。每個單元由閱讀技巧、主題文章、單字片語等語言知識,以及三道素養題組所組成。在全書共四十八道素養題組中,我們將文章主題延伸運用到生活情境中,透過各種題型來訓練學生溝通表達、解決問題、培養多元文化與國際理解的能力。
當學英文不再只是為了追求考試拿高分,而是能真正運用在生活中,無論是與國際友人溝通交流,或是作為探索跨科知識的工具,屆時課綱的理念才算真正落實。在那之前,我們不妨就先從激發學習興趣開始吧!
