二 、教材分析本单元主要是通过对一些国家的风俗习惯、礼仪差异、时间观念和饮食文化的学习,进一步提高学生对文明生活的认识;加深学生对中外文化的了解,拓展学生的文化视野,为学生阅读相关方面的文章奠定一定的文化基础。我们知道近几年来有关风俗文化,生活习惯的 阅读内容一直是中考热门的话题之一。通过本单元的学习,学生可以掌握一定的相关方面的知识,为今后在阅读积累必要的信息。在Section A 当中出现的 be supposed to 句型为重点句型,此句型的语法结构为被动语态。被动语态也是历年来中考基础命题必考的内容之一。比如,去年的中考试题,在基础选择部分试题中就出现了对此语法结构考查。Section A 首先通过一些图片和句型来让学生初步了解本单元的语言目标。然后,通过练习进一步加以巩固。接着通过一组听力练习,来训练学生的听力,同时,学生可以具体了解到不同的国家在风俗习惯等方面有着怎样的不同。为下面的学习进行铺垫,同时激发学生了解更多的相关知识的学习兴趣。
《新目标英语》中的具体语言目标是通过各种各样的Tasks来实现的;学生需要运用具体而特定的行动来完成一定的交际任务。整个教学过程中,各种语言结构与语言功能与不同的学习任务有机的结合。任务活动所谋求的效果不是一种机械的语言训练,而是侧重在执行任务中学生自我完成任务的能力和策略的培养;重视形式在完成任务过程中的参与和在交流活动中所获得的经验。因此本节课我将始终引导学生通过完成具体的任务活动来学习语言,让学生为了特定的学习目的去实施特定的语言行动,通过完成特定的交际任务来获得和积累相应的学习经验,让学生在用中学,在学中用。 2、教学原则 l 活动性原则 提倡学生主动参与,体验,交流,合作,探究等多种学习。 l 合作性原则 以学生为主体,师生合作,生生合作,体现教与学的互动,交往。 l 任务型原则 任务驱动—激发动机;任务完成—激励学习积极性;执行任务—培养责任 心和合作精神。 l 情感性原则 激发学生学习英语的兴趣和始终保持良好的学习情绪。
二、教法学法1、任务型教学法:每个教学环节都是围绕着如何完成一个教学任务来设计的。2、感悟法:创设语境,让学生在一定的语言环境中感悟语言内涵,从而实现悟中学的目的。只有学生自己悟出的东西才能较好地内化为自己的东西。3、合作点拨法:通过教师创设的学习氛围,设置问题和反思质疑,推动师生,生生间的合作探究,小组合作学习,在解决问题中完成教学目标。以培养他们的合作探究的意识与精神。三、教学程序1 导入新课利用课件中的图片导入:在大屏幕上出示汶川大地震中一些悲惨的图片,让同学们说出汶川,然后老师说as well-know a stong earthquake happened in wenchuan,so many kind people go there to help others.再出示一些军人,医疗工作者,志愿者忙碌的身影,特别是温家宝总理看望受伤的孩子,让同学们知道一方有难,四方支持,帮助困难中的人是很有意义的。然后说Would you like to help others?What would you like to do?
教材分析本单元是九年级的最后一个教学新课的单元。这个单元主要是围绕着有关濒临灭绝的动物这一话题,让学生学习怎样保护我们的环境,以及就某一问题展开辩论。在学习新知识的同时,还复习一般现在时(Present Simple)、现在进行时( Present Progress)、一般过去时( Past Tense)、现在完成时(Present Perfect)等时态及被动语态(Passive Voice)。本课为第一课时,是培养听说能力为主的新授课。这节课要为整个单元的学习起到一个热身的作用,不仅要求学生掌握一定的词汇量,为下面的学习打下很好的基础,而且要求学生收集有关濒临灭绝的动物的信息,为后面的话题提供了充分的语言基础和语言依据。因此,我把本课的重点、难点确定于:1、语音、词汇方面:一些表示动物名称的名词(nouns)和描写动物特征的形容词(description words);2、通过听说等练习,让学生运用描述动物的形容词来描述所看到及所知道的动物的特征,同时也复习一般现在时表示主语具备的性格、特征的用法。
