(一)說教材與教情從本單元的題目How was your weekend?就可以知道本單元的語言目標(biāo)是討論曾經(jīng)的活動或過去發(fā)生的事件,要求學(xué)生掌握的語法知識就是一般過去時。一般過去時這一時態(tài)在Go for it!這套書里這是第一次出現(xiàn),因此要讓學(xué)生把一貫以來他們所熟悉的一般現(xiàn)在時暫時擱淺,而用新學(xué)的一般過去時來表述發(fā)生的事件,無非是本單元的重點也是本單元的難點所在。要攻克這一重難點的關(guān)鍵,我認(rèn)為在于能使學(xué)生對動詞的過去時具備一定的熟巧度,并且這種熟巧度不僅應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)在聽說能力上,也應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)在閱讀和寫作能力當(dāng)中;不僅要在聽和讀的語言輸入過程當(dāng)中能夠?qū)@一時態(tài)有較強的敏感度,也要在說和寫的語言輸出過程中能夠比較自然和自如地運用這一時態(tài)。對一般過去時在語言中運用的這種熟巧度實際上也就是本單元預(yù)期達(dá)到的語言技能目標(biāo)。在本單元整體的知識和技能的大目標(biāo)下,本課時作為本單元的第三課時,也就是本單元最后一個課時,它所覆蓋的課本內(nèi)容是Section B中的聽力、閱讀和寫作。

TASK1. Enjoy our life.(導(dǎo)入新課)目的:為新課的教學(xué)作好鋪墊,營造輕松的教學(xué)環(huán)境。教具:CAI操作:首先在優(yōu)美輕松的樂曲中欣賞一組學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)生活的錄象,來拉開本堂課的序幕,吸引學(xué)生的注意力。以自由談話的方式,詢問學(xué)生:Do you like our school? Do you enjoy ourselves in our school?TASK2.School rules目的:用圖片,以直觀教學(xué)發(fā)引入School rules的教學(xué)。操作:首先通過設(shè)問,Can we listen to the music in class? Can we eat in class? 指出我們必須在合適的時間和地點做合適的事,在校我們必須遵守學(xué)校的規(guī)章制度。但是仍然有人破壞,在違規(guī)。呈現(xiàn)一組學(xué)生違規(guī)的圖片,并問:What rules are they breaking?arrive late for class, run in the hallways, eat in the classroom, listen to the music in th classroom, fight 以此教學(xué)school rulers 并完成課文1a Match 部分教學(xué)。與此同時,在這一過程中較直觀地完成 語言項目祈使句以及can表示許可的用法的介紹TASK3.Do you have clever ears?目的 :聽力教學(xué).在這里我將1b,2a,2b集中在一起教學(xué),這樣有利于訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的聽力。
《I'd like some noodles》是人教板新目標(biāo)七年級下冊第八單元內(nèi)容。本節(jié)課的中心內(nèi)容是新單詞和would like 句型表達(dá)法。注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生聽、說、讀、寫能力的進(jìn)一步提高,尤其對于生活中的交際用語起到了積極的作用。通過本課的學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)生可以拓展交際能力,提高與同伴交流并合作的技巧,以及言語技能,為以后的學(xué)習(xí)奠定堅實的基礎(chǔ)。 (2)教學(xué)目標(biāo) 七年級的學(xué)生經(jīng)過小學(xué)和初中上學(xué)期的學(xué)習(xí)后,已經(jīng)具備了一定的英語語言功底,在思維能力方面有較強的記憶力和模仿力,但知識的擴(kuò)展和運用能力有待于進(jìn)一步提高,加之在《課程目標(biāo)》指導(dǎo)下,結(jié)合學(xué)生和教材的情況,我設(shè)計了這樣的三維教學(xué)目標(biāo)(課件展示) a 知識目標(biāo) 重點詞匯:noodles, beef ,mutton, chicken, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes. 重點句型:What kind of noodles would you like? I'd like beef and tomato noodles. What size of noodles would you like? I'd like a large\medium\small bowl of noodles. b 能力目標(biāo):培養(yǎng)運用英語交際的能力,讓學(xué)生把所學(xué)到的語言知識和生活實際聯(lián)系起來,使學(xué)習(xí)過程生活化。培養(yǎng)學(xué)生探究、合作的參與意識。
五. 教學(xué)過程1.預(yù)習(xí)展示(Review)在幻燈片上寫出預(yù)習(xí)目標(biāo),然后讓他們展示他們自己所預(yù)習(xí)的有關(guān)職業(yè)名稱的詞匯. 小組派代表發(fā)言.(設(shè)計目的:吸引學(xué)生注意力,活躍課堂氣氛。使課文引入自然)2.檢測成果(Checking)(1)展示本課時的單詞圖片,讓學(xué)生快速完成。(2)讓同學(xué)領(lǐng)讀,齊讀,男女同學(xué)讀,在齊讀。(設(shè)計目的:鞏固單詞的讀音,以及糾正錯誤的讀音,加深記憶力.)3.學(xué)習(xí)新句型(Presentation)用幻燈片出示重點句型,讓學(xué)生觀察、齊讀、what do you do ?I’m a student.What do you want to be ? I’m want to be an actor.這些重點句型。(設(shè)計目的:培養(yǎng)學(xué)生認(rèn)真觀察動腦思考學(xué)習(xí)如何就職業(yè)提問,以及對自己的理想職業(yè)進(jìn)行提問。)4.練習(xí)句型(Pattern drills)你是做什么的?What do you do ? 你將來想做什么? What do you want to be ?
步驟二 看圖學(xué)單詞我把本單元有關(guān)的單詞制成圖片顯示在屏幕上。目的在于通過直觀的畫面效果和有意義的情景,便于學(xué)生更快地把單詞的聲、形和意聯(lián)系起來。使學(xué)生輕松地掌握這些單詞的音、形、義,且充分調(diào)動了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)熱情,讓學(xué)生在思考中理解所學(xué)的生詞。如 sitcom( situation comedy)1.猜。點擊屏幕上一副有關(guān)情景喜劇的圖片。說This is s kind of funny show. We call it sitcom. The people in sitcoms do or say things that make Tv watchers laugh.讓學(xué)生根據(jù)圖片和教師的提示猜出單詞的意思。這時再告訴學(xué)生們sitcom=situation comedy.一定會有很多同學(xué)爭先恐后地?fù)尨?,我們可以挑三個不同層次的學(xué)生起來回答,這樣做既發(fā)揮了優(yōu)等生的帶頭作用,同時為待優(yōu)生樹立起學(xué)好英語的信心,又增強了其他同學(xué)的競爭意識(他會我也會),也融入了教師的情感價值觀之中。
(四)、小結(jié)及布置作業(yè)(5’)對于本課的復(fù)習(xí)要點,我以課堂小結(jié)的形式展示給學(xué)生。(出示大屏幕)這樣學(xué)生通過小結(jié),對本課內(nèi)容能夠再次重申,體現(xiàn)出了本課的重點,使知識更加系統(tǒng)化、規(guī)范化。為了鞏固本課內(nèi)容,我給學(xué)生布置如下家庭作業(yè)。(出示大屏幕)課后描述一下你的父母,并寫在作業(yè)本上四、板書設(shè)計(出示電腦屏幕)板書除了課題之外,我將本課的重點詞匯always書于板書,并附例句,利于學(xué)生掌握該詞的用法。并將本課的難點內(nèi)容be+adj ,have+n.的用法書于板書,并附例句,利于學(xué)生突破難點。該板書簡潔、清晰、明了,突出了本課的重難點。本課我以素質(zhì)教育為目的,結(jié)合教材的重難點及英語學(xué)科的特點,采用任務(wù)型教學(xué),從聽、說、讀、寫、練等方面使學(xué)生得到了鍛煉,在輕松、愉快的氛圍中溫故而知新,達(dá)到了培養(yǎng)學(xué)生用英語交際的目的。
通過Go for it七上的學(xué)習(xí),大部分學(xué)生對why/what/where引導(dǎo)的特殊疑問句已具備較強的聽說能力,而本單元圍繞“animals”的教學(xué)活動貼近學(xué)生生活,學(xué)生有強烈的興趣和好奇心,使他們產(chǎn)生了解的欲望,有利于引導(dǎo)他們自主學(xué)習(xí)。本單元的教學(xué)內(nèi)容我是用了三節(jié)課完成,又用了第四節(jié)來復(fù)習(xí)。七班的學(xué)生大部分性格偏內(nèi)向,不喜歡表達(dá)和展現(xiàn)自己,但大部分同學(xué)有一定的英語基礎(chǔ),通過教師的恰當(dāng)引導(dǎo),能完成教學(xué)任務(wù)。教材分析:本單元的topic是animals, 要求學(xué)生掌握一些新的動物名詞,學(xué)會用表示性質(zhì)和品質(zhì)的形容詞來描述動物,并能用“Why do you like…? Because….” 來陳述喜歡的原因。通過討論動物,讓學(xué)生了解大自然,增長地域知識,增進(jìn)對自然環(huán)境的情感;通過討論自身的喜好及原因,提高學(xué)生的認(rèn)知和思維能力。教材在第一、第二單元的基礎(chǔ)上對已有的語言項目進(jìn)行拓展,符合學(xué)生的認(rèn)知規(guī)律,循序漸進(jìn)。
“Go for it!” is based on “Task-Based Language Teaching”. It adheres to “The authenticity principle”, “The form-function principle”, “The task dependency principle” and “The principle of learning by doing”. These principles all accord with the demands of curriculum focus.In and of Grade Seven (II), “Go for it!”, students have learned “The Simple Past Tense”. And it appears again in of Grade Eight (I). teaches students more about how to talk about events in the past. In addition, it gives affirmative and negative statements in the past tense, such as the sentence patterns “Did you see …?” “Were there …?” “Did you go …?” As the first part of Unit 8, Section A opens with a picture presenting the last school trip in the aquarium and continues with several step-by-step practice activities, which are all good for students to master “The Simple Past Tense”. Doing well in Section A will help students integrate the new target language with that in Section B. Thus, they can describe the events in the past freely and foster their own ability of reflecting and practicing. II. Teaching ObjectivesTeaching objective is the beginning and aim of teaching activities. According to the overall goal of the English elementary course--- improve students' synthetic ability of language application, which should be based on the development of students’ “Language knowledge”, “Language skills”, “Character building”, “Learning strategies” and “Cross-cultural awareness”. The teaching objectives are described as follows(I). Knowledge objectivesi. Master the simple past tense of regular and irregular verbsii. Recite the new words and expressions about the last school trip in the aquarium, including their pronunciation and intonation

二、教學(xué)設(shè)計與構(gòu)思根據(jù)以上對教材的分析,同時針對學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)外語存在一定困難的實際情況及學(xué)生的年齡特點,首先給學(xué)生營造一個溫馨愉悅的氛圍,創(chuàng)設(shè)一個接近學(xué)生生活的語言環(huán)境,激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣,讓學(xué)生樂于參于以后的活動中,而且每一個環(huán)節(jié)都配有相應(yīng)的動畫或親切的畫面,讓學(xué)生在看、聽和感知中接受知識,陶冶情操。最后用清晰明了的方式總結(jié)知識要點,便于學(xué)生鞏固復(fù)習(xí)。在評價學(xué)習(xí)上,采用多元化評價,尊重差異,富于感性。布置作業(yè)時,分兩部分,由淺入深,照顧全體學(xué)生。三、教學(xué)文法通過五步教學(xué)法,精講巧紅,由淺入深,以學(xué)生為主體,開展師生雙邊活動。四、教學(xué)手段使用現(xiàn)代化教學(xué)手段,多媒體輔助教學(xué)貫穿整個教學(xué)過程,增加直觀性和趣味性,提高教學(xué)效果。
區(qū)分賓語從句、定于從句和狀語從句賓語從句和狀語從句,都叫做主從復(fù)合句。賓語從句主要是中考必考的,是初中階段必掌握的從句,賓語從句主要是掌握三要素,所謂賓語從句,就是賓語在主從復(fù)合句當(dāng)中充當(dāng)賓語的一個句子,叫做賓語從句。主句的謂語動詞是及物動詞,后面如果是詞或者是短語的話,是簡單句,如果是句子的話,肯定是賓語從句。I know that he good at English.就是賓語從句,三要素,一要素是要注意連詞,連詞一共學(xué)了三類連詞,一類連詞是that口語當(dāng)中可以省略,就像剛才說的那一句,I hear he is good at English.還有疑問代詞、疑問副詞,how where when,疑問代詞、疑問副詞。還有一類連詞weather是否的意思,不是狀語從句當(dāng)中的如果,這一定要和如果區(qū)分開,這是是否。I don't know if he interested at English。賓語從句要注意if是連詞。第二要素是語序,要用陳述舉語序。比如說你家有幾口人,我們都說How many people are there in you family?但是這是簡單句,一旦說成賓語從句,你可以告訴我你家有幾口人嗎?Could you tell me how many people there are in you family ?
"Hello! Welcome to English class! Introduce yourself. Meet your new classmates." That's what the teacher says. What do you say? "Oh no!" It can be difficult talking to new people. But it can be fun, and you can make friends. How do you do it? Make small talk. Small talk is polite conversation. "Wang Nan is a great pingpang player, isn't she?" "I'd love to meet her, wouldn't you?" "It's been raining a lot, hasn't it?" Tag questions are a form of polite speech. To make small talk successfully, you should know how to make them. You should also know what topics to talk about. Try to learn this unit carefully. The next time you're in English class, you'll find out. Making small talk's easy, isn't it? (“你好!歡迎你!請做一下自我介紹。認(rèn)識一下你的新同學(xué)?!蓖ǔT谡n上老師會這樣說。你會說什么呢?“噢,不!”與陌生人談話太困難了。但是這也很有意思,并且你還能交到朋友。你該怎么做呢?閑聊。閑聊指得是禮貌的對話。“王楠是一個很棒的乒乓球運動員,不是嗎?”“我希望自己能認(rèn)識她,你呢?“今年的雨水很多,不是嗎?”反意疑問句是一種禮貌用語。為了使得談話成功,你應(yīng)該知道怎樣去進(jìn)行閑聊。你還應(yīng)該知道與不同的人該談?wù)撌裁礃拥脑掝}。認(rèn)真的學(xué)習(xí)這個單元吧,下次在英語課上,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)與大家展開談話是一件很容易的事情,不信我們來試試。)
