英文原声电影有其特有的优点,画面生动,色彩鲜艳,语言生动活泼,既可以为学生提供原汁原味的生活口语,又为学习了解外国文化打开了一扇窗,一定程度上弥补了缺乏真实语言使用场景的遗憾,提高了学生的语言运用能力,在英语教学中极大地激发了学生的主动性和热情,受到了教师和学生的一致欢迎。大学英语教学要求“视”“听”“说”三位一体,使用英文电影一定程度上满足了英语教学的要求,提高了英语学习的效果,符合社会发展的需要和时代要求。

一、运用的理论基础

瑞士心理学家皮亚杰在1966年提出了建构主义学习理论。该理论认为,语言输出对于语言习得有促进作用。学习语言(或者任何其他知识)都是一个社会建构的过程,学习者们是在某种社会文化环境下构建自己的语言的。换言之,建构主义强调真实情景对于语言习得的重要作用,所以学生应该在真实的社会文化背景下学习语言,这样才能重组以前的知识结构,积极有效地建构新知识,教师通过影视手段,将真实的语言场景提供给学生,在视觉、画面、文字的直观作用下,学生更容易融入真实的语言场景中,通过练习重建知识结构。

Krasen 提出了情感过滤假设,他认为三种(因素动机、自信心和焦虑感)与二语习得有关。他指出,低情感过滤即强动机、强自信心,弱焦虑较少阻碍或打断必要性输出,比高情感过滤更可取。动机直接影响了语言习得的效果,在当前的英语教学环境里,学生学习的积极性很大程度上受到教师教学方法的影响,如果课堂教学气氛沉闷,学生学习积极性不高,学习效果低下,随之而来的是沉重的心理压力,附有焦虑情绪;而如果采用影视手段进行了听力教学,可以大大改善现状,学生在娱乐中提高学习的主动性,变被动为主动,自信心也不断提高,最终达到教学目的。

二、英文原声电影使用的合理性

(一)是大学英语视听说教学的一个基本要求大学英语视听说课程要求“视”“听”“说”三方面相结合,提高学生英语听说读写的综合能力。我国传统英语教学中,教师就着一块黑板和一只粉笔,教师为主学生为辅,对着课本教英语。由于学生的积极性不高,往往课本知识很扎实,而听说的能力薄弱。大学英语视听说这一课程就是想改变现状,教师在播放原声电影时,通过设置一定的故事情节,让学生在身临其境中用英语思考,用英语回答问题,从而在不知不觉中完成课程任务。

(二)教学内容可以灵活选择

教师可以根据学生的程度选择相应的电影,教授内容也可以灵活多变,不必拘泥于课本。上课前先根据所讲内容锁定某一电影,由于时间限制,不用播放一部完整电影,可以在播放电影片段的基础上设置相关练习,例如,可以就某一片段进行复述、讨论、角色扮演或设置问答等。

(三)帮助学生了解更多的英语国家文化背景对于很多以汉语为母语的学生来讲,用英语交流的最大的问题就是异国的文化背景和思维方式。因为语言是文化的载体,文化是语言中的一部分,要想真正掌握好一门语言,前提就是要对异国文化真正有所了解。欣赏外国电影,可以帮助我们了解外国的风俗文化、生活习惯,开拓我们的思维,对语言的学习大有好处,有利于帮助我们真正学习好一门外语。

(四)提高学生的听说能力

影视材料提供了大量丰富生动的语言素材,通过画面、声音及丰富的色彩充分调动学生的听觉、感觉器官,为学生提高听说能力打下坚实的基础。语篇语言学认为交际能力是指学习者在具体的语境中恰当并有效地运用语言进行交际的能力,教师应鼓励学习者在真实的语言场景中完成语言任务。在观看影视英语的过程中,教师可以设置不同的任务给学生:在看电影之前首先针对电影内容设置

Journey to the Center of the Earth(地心游记)2008经典电影英文影评

Journey to the Center of the Earth(地心游记)2008 There is a part of me that will always have affection for a movie like "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It is a small part and steadily shrinking, but once I put on the 3-D glasses and settled in my seat, it started perking up. This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. If I had seen it when I was 8, I would have remembered it with deep affection for all these years, until I saw it again and realized how little I really knew at that age. You are already familiar with the premise, that there is another land inside of our globe. You are familiar because the Jules Verne novel has inspired more than a dozen movies and countless TV productions, including a series, and has been ripped off by such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, who called it Pellucidar, and imagined that the Earth was hollow and there was another world on the inside surface. (You didn't ask, but yes, I own a copy of Tarzan at the Earth's Core with the original dust jacket.) In this version, Brendan Fraser stars as a geologist named Trevor, who defends the memory of his late brother, Max, who believed the center of the Earth could be reached through "volcanic tubes." Max disappeared on a mysterious expedition, which, if it involved volcanic tubes, should have been no surprise to him. Now Trevor has been asked to spend some time with his nephew, Max's son, who is named Sean (Josh Hutcherson). What with one thing and another, wouldn't you know they find themselves in Iceland, and peering down a volcanic tube. They are joined in this enterprise by Hannah (Anita Briem), who they find living in Max's former research headquarters near the volcano he was investigating. Now begins a series of adventures, in which the operative principle is: No matter how frequently or how far they fall, they will land without injury. They fall very frequently, and very far. The first drop lands them at the bottom of a deep cave, from which they cannot possibly climb, but they remain remarkably optimistic: "There must be a way out of here!" Sure enough, they find an abandoned mine shaft and climb aboard three cars of its miniature railway for a scene that will make you swear the filmmakers must have seen "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Just like in that movie, they hurtle down the tracks at breakneck speeds; they're in three cars, on three more or less parallel tracks, leading you to wonder why three parallel tracks were constructed at great expense and bother, but just when such questions are forming, they have to (1) leap a chasm, (2) jump from one car to another, and (3) crash. It's a funny thing about that little railway: After all these years, it still has lamps hanging over the rails, and the electricity is still on. The problem of lighting an unlit world is solved in the next cave they enter, which is inhabited by cute little birds that glow in the dark. One of them makes friends with Sean, and leads them on to the big attraction -- a world bounded by a great interior sea. This world must be a terrible place to inhabit; it has man-eating and man-strangling plants, its waters harbor giant-fanged fish and fearsome sea snakes that eat them, and on the further shore is a Tyrannosaurus rex. So do the characters despair? Would you despair, if you were trapped miles below the surface in a cave and being chased by its hungry inhabitants? Of course not. There isn't a moment in the movie when anyone seems frightened, not even during a fall straight down for thousands of feet, during which they link hands like sky-divers and carry on a conversation. Trevor gets the ball rolling: "We're still falling!" I mentioned 3-D glasses earlier in the review. Yes, the movie is available in 3-D in "selected theaters." Select those theaters to avoid. With a few exceptions (such as the authentic IMAX process), 3-D remains underwhelming to me -- a distraction, a disappointment and more often than not offering a dingy picture. I guess setting your story inside the Earth is one way to explain why it always seems to need more lighting. The movie is being shown in 2-D in most theaters, and that's how I wish I had seen it. Since there's that part of me with a certain weakness for movies like this, it's possible I would have liked it more. It would have looked brighter and clearer, and the photography wouldn't have been cluttered up with all the leaping and gnashing of teeth. Then I could have appreciated the work of the plucky actors, who do a lot of things right in this movie, of which the most heroic is keeping a straight face. 1

Seven(七宗罪)1995经典电影英文影评

Seven(七宗罪)1995 David Fincher's classic tale of inventive serial killing and urban degredation, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman on excellent form Who'd have thought? An absurd-sounding tale of a serial killer basing his crimes around the seven deadly sins, directed by the man behind the mess that was Alien3, turning out to be one of the most chilling and original thrillers of the 1990s. From the outset, through the film's brilliantly designed deliberate under-lighting - we see very little blood and guts - and muffled sound, the audience is encouraged to lean towards the screen, immerse itself in the film's unbearably grim world. Pitt is in career-making form as Mills, a simple cop moving with his sweet young wife (Paltrow) to a grim, anonymous city, determined to make a difference, to do some good. He is assigned to track down a vengeful killer, and works alongside Somerset (Freeman), a jaded, wise policeman on the verge of retirement. The two are that modern movie cliché -the mismatched pair thrown together by circumstance, who gradually learn mutual respect. But Fincher and Walker take these hackneyed ingredients, play with them in the context of a brilliantly cohesive plot, and present something consistently fresh - the police finding themselves with too much evidence, the premature unmasking of the killer - and very, very dark. 1

浅谈英文原声电影对英语口语学习的影响

2014年03月上 青 春岁月 3 随着经济的发展,国际化和全球化已经成为普遍现象。英语作为世界最普遍的语言吸引着越来越多语言学习者。在当前的形势下,英语学习者不仅要具备基础的语法规则,而且要掌握与外国人交流的有效技能。然而,在以考试为考核方式的中国,中国的英语学习者,尤其是大学英语学习者缺乏在现实的语言环境中的交流能力。再有,电影本身也通过丰富的语言表现冲突和情节以达到叙事的功能。 综上所述,选择合适的电影并结合合理的学习方法学习对于那些想提高英语水平的人来说是一个很好的选择。 一、理论基础 动机是我们实现目标的动力。动机分为内在与外在动机。世界各地的研究人员已经发现了一种积极的关系,尤其是内在动机和成就。内在动机是指由兴趣和爱好驱使的动力,并在存在于个人而不是任何外在的压力。研究发现,内在动机通常具备于有较高的教育水平和有浓厚兴趣的同学。从弗里茨海德的归因理论、班杜拉的自我效能、瑞恩的认知评价理论中可以找到这样的关于内在动机的解释。学生有可能被内在动机驱使,如果他们: (1)把的教育的成果归因于他们可以控制的内部因素。(比如说他们付出的个人努力) (2)相信他们达到预期目标付出努力。(即不靠运气得到的成果) (3)对课题感兴趣而非只是死记硬背的学习,以取得好成绩。 很明显,动机在促进学习上扮演者很重要的角色。它可以引导更积极的态度、更大的欲望以及提高学生对学习的满意程度。我们都知道,学生的学习动机是学习成功的关键。将电影运用到语言学习中可以使学生了解目的语和自己的英语口语之间的差异。于是这大大地激发起他们学习语言的兴趣。 二、英文原声电影在提高口语能力方面的优势1、良好的语音 首先,大多数英文电影的英文是标准发音。虽然在电影中的语言是人为脚本,但是编剧努力使它们听起来更自然。像中国的电视剧或电影一样,英文原版电影演员和演员通常会讲他们的母语——英语。边看电影,观众可以体验真正的英语发音,其中不仅包括发音和语调,也可以通过模仿学到的爆破和连音。 其次,我们也必须承认,任何一部英文原版电影不是首先旨在语言学习,所以,电影里的语言变化非常大,有的是标准英语,有的却不是。有时候,演员会随意使用或模仿情节需要以外的口音。例如,在电影《阿甘正传》中,故事主人公说的就是阿拉巴马州口音。这些口音也很有价值,值得学习,因为我们可能会与任何地区的人交谈,口音是不可避免的。如果我们能够适应这些口音,我们的沟通将变得更容易,更愉快。 总之,电影把真实的语言世界带给学习者,电影提供的语言学习材料并不是因为教学目的而设置的。因此,电影大量的以正式和非正式的形式提供口音和惯用语,学生就可以直接学习纯正的语音。 2、真实语言环境 英语是一门语言,是一种交际工具,语言必须在情景中呈现和练习,使用语言不能离开真实的社会情景。没有一定的情景,学生仅屏死记硬背是学不好英语的,更不可能练好英语口语。 成人发展语言能力主要依靠两种途径。即语言学习和语言习得。前者指有意识的学习外语知识,后者则类似儿童习得母语一样,通过在语境中实际交际获得。语言学家乔姆斯基认为人具有天生的习得语言的能力。即人只要置身于某种语言环境中,就能在较短时间内形成语言能力。是一种潜移默化的过程。电影所创造出的虚拟的真实环境,能够让人感同身受地体会语言文化的魅 力。欣赏影片的同时必须要投入到电影所设置的情景中,置身于某个角色内,跟着角色的语言思维走,才能自然习得一门语言。 3、丰富的西方文化 众所周知,出色地口语离不开对英语国家文化与习俗的了解。电影除了在听说方面对语言学习的促进,它也显示了其作为文化的载体,在文化学习领域的优势。 首先,我们来看看文化学习在大学生英语学习的重要性。他们甚至会有错误的设想。学生们刚刚步入大学开始对英语有更深入的学习,这是正是需要对文化的理解。与中学时期不同,具备更多的文化背景知识对他们来说是个相当大的挑战。第二,通过看电影了解西方文化对口语学习有一定的辅助作用。其中包括两点:一、通过观看电影,可以学到更多关于西方国家的文化知识,这在口语交流中非常必要。二、这种学习方法使得学习者学习到英语惯用语,比如说习语。 电影是对现实的反映,也是艺术与思想的结合体。因此,英文原声电影可以提高英语学习者的在真正语言环境中的听说能力。同时也为学习者打开一扇了解西方文化、习俗和意识形态的窗户。 三、利用英文原声电影为辅助手段提高口语水平的注意事项1、影片的选择 关于如何正确选择电影材料,我们需要遵循一些原则。首选,电影主题要健康,尽量避免选择含有不和谐、暴力、色情和污秽词语的电影。第二,电影要有学习的价值。我们应该避免选择过于生疏的语言材料或者娱乐性过高的电影观看。第三,要有趣味性。情节要简单清晰易学,也要能吸引学习者的兴趣。最后,电影要有启发人的作用,最好是能启发学生思考和探讨的影片。 2、观看学习的方法在看电影之前首先要明确目的,或者把学习目标写下来,比如说“掌握不熟悉的词汇”、“模仿对话”或者“总结一下中西方的文化差异”。总之,看之前要明确学习目的。 在你听不懂的句子的地方暂停,然后你可以一直反复播放片段直到你明白了句中的所有生词。如果还不知道,那就查词典。有的播放器可以开启或者关闭字幕,有了字幕,就不存在看不懂或者语速太快的问题了,因为所有的字幕都在屏幕上,你可以控制影片的播放已达到学习的目的。 四、总结 总之,仅仅靠英语普通教材作为英语学习的素材,说一口流利又地道的英语是远远不够的。电影具有声图并茂的特点,有一定的情节性,趣味性,传递了大量的语言知识和文化信息,能够让人身如其境地学习体会语言文化的魅力,是提高口语水平最有效方法之一。看英文原声电影既可以帮助大学生提高听说能力,也可以轻松有效地帮助他们了解西方文化。更重要的是,通过这种轻松有趣的学习方法,可以达到最终目的——在现实交际对话中能准确、灵活、通顺地表达。 【参考文献】 [1]Hennessey,J.M.(1995).Using Foreign Fil ms to Develop Prof iciency and to Motivate the.

Tess(苔丝)1979经典电影英文影评

Tess(苔丝)1979 Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland. Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name. Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec. Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish. Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of the land and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully. Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble. 1
