新目标英语七年级下册第十一单元教学设计课后反思
大坪中学 邹先珍
Unit 11 what do you think of game shows?
[设计思想] 本课的教学目标就是让学生能够运用目标语询问他人对人或事的看法,并能简单表达自己或听懂同伴对人、事的看法或观点。根据本课教学内容和教学对象年龄和心理特征,我采取了一种学生喜闻乐见的课堂活动形式——采访。采访的话题涵盖面广,如:clothes, movies, tv show, food, music, pop movie star, sport etc.学生可以根据自己的兴趣、爱好自选或自定采访话题,而且学生可以自己决定采访问题,这给了学生极大的活动空间。这样安排不仅将新、旧知识有机的结合起来,而且给每个学生提供了自主选择、自主决定学习内容的机会。
本课以完成采访任务为主线,教学过程中将听、说、读、写有机地结合起来。另外,为了缩小学生之间的知识准备方面的差异,也为了使每个学生在活动过程中有成就感,我在课前预习方面做了较为细致的安排,这在很大方面也加强和提高了学生的自学能力。本课将这四个环节有机地结合在一起,让学生有了足够的语言输入之后,能够自信地参与到语言输出活动中,提高每个学生参与的机会和参与能力。本课组织形式是以小组活动为主。在活动中每个同学都有自己的任务,在小组结果产出时每个同学都必须把自己所知道的信息提供给大家,同时也要认真聆听别人提供的信息,共同完成最后的报告。
[课后反思] 成功完成本实施方案必须遵循以下原则: 1.课前安排要细致、到位。本节课的课堂容量比较大,如果学生课前准备或老师指导不到位,很难在一课时内完成,即使完成,效果也将很不理想。
2.课前小组编排要合理。学生可以根据各自喜欢的话题自愿结合,也可根据学习能力和学习程度的差异编排小组,无任采取何种方式,教师在进行本课之前必须有通盘考虑,尤其要考虑小组成员的分工,要使每个成员各负其责,避免出现有的学生参与少或不参与的现象。
3.在教学进行过程中,老师必须考虑不同学习能力学生的需要,为各任务的顺利推进提供必要的语言提示,让每个学生都能真正参与其中,并从中感受到成功的快乐。
4.方案实施过程中要以表扬和激励为主,帮助学生树立学习英语的自信心,激发他们学习的兴趣。

unit 4 壹 want to be an actor the fourth period(section b 1a—2c)【一】教材简析(analysis of the teaching material)
本课是第四单元的section b 1a-2c这部分内容,中心话题是“jobs,”
1、谈论到各种不同的工作及如何描述它的性质特点,2、谈论自己或他人将来想从事的职业并陈述原因。通过一系列的教学活动,学生从中学习并理解exciting, dangerous, busy等形容词的用法,并将用其修辞各种不同的职业;加深巩固 what do you do? what do want to be? 等句型;学习并熟练地运用 i want to be a/an…
because it’s a / an …job 来谈论理想中的职业。本课以任务型教学为主线,着重培养学生获得英语基础知识和运用语言进行交际的能力。从教材编排看,section b主要通过生动的图画呈现真实的语言场景,帮助学生掌握基础的语言项目;通过听力、阅读及写作练习,使学生能对学过的目标句型运用自如,创造性的活用所学语言进行课堂活动。

【六】教学过程teaching procedures
教学过程体现在复习旧课引入新课、讲授新课、巩固练习、小结、布置作业五个环节。
step one: warming up ⅰ.以真实形象的图片来复习有关职业的单词。
设计意图:以生动真实的图片景象展现给学生,吸引住他们的眼球,让他们感到耳目一新,能激起学生知识记忆,从而更有效地加深对单词的理解和记忆,为下一步学习新的课程做好铺垫。
步骤:
1、利用媒体课件,展示与栩栩如生的与职业名称和工作单位有关的图片给学生,如警察和警察局、服务员和餐馆、演员(成龙、赵微)、银行职员等图片。一边指着图片一边暗示学生说出相关的英语单词,随着学生的回答后出示有关的职业的单词。
t: what does he do?(point out a policeman)ss: he is a policeman.t : where does he work? ss: police station.t: what does she do?(point out a actress)ss: she is zhaowei赵微
2、提问个别学生说出所展示图片人物的职业和相关的工作单位
t : i think all of you can say 饿nglish names of the jobs easily.so any volunteer s1: me t: she is a …(point a bank clerk)s1: band clerk
3、鼓励个别学生单独读出所有图片所批示的英语单词,必要时帮助其纠正发音。t : now i want to invite some student to read these words by yourself, so who want to try.don’t be shy.s1: me , policeman , policewoman ,actor ,actress… t: do a good job.who want to be next one? s2:…
ⅱ.通过观看动画片来复习有关句型并进行有关的操练
目的:播放画面生动精彩的动漫来复习影片中的目标语言和加深已学过的重点句型 步骤:
1).播放动画片,要求学生注意影片有关的内容。2).结束影片,并以多媒体屏幕来展示有关句型 what do you do?
i’m an actor.what does he/she do?
he’s/she’s a doctor.what do you want to be?
i want to be an actor.what does he/she want to be?
he/she wants to be a bank clerk..3).小组活动,以两人一组来进行对话,询问对方的职业,然后由由教师提问第三位学生回答以上两名学生中所提到问题。建议学生可以给自己定一份喜欢的职业来进行角色扮演,对话例如: s1: what do you do? s2: i’m an actor.what do you do?
s1: i’m a teacher what do you want to be?
s2: i want to be an actor.what do you want to be? s1: i want to be a doctor t : what does s1 want to be ?(ask s3)s3: he wants to be doctor.step two: lead in 1).向学生展现6种不同的人物表情,要求学生仔细观察,并进行描述。表情内容主要是有关于6个形容词:exciting, dangerous, busy, fun, difficult, boring 设计意图:以多媒体的形式展现出真实而不同的6幅人物表情,通过设置让学生能够激发想象思维,立刻浮想联翩,并说出相关的修辞词,从而引导出本课所要学习形容词。如展现一幅内容是这样,天空正闪着可怕的雷电,可有一位年青人耳朵塞着随身听,手里还放着风筝的图片,立即让人看了心惊肉跳,这样便自然地引出dangerous可怕这个单词,这样的即形象又生动教学方法让学生更容易记忆。基它单词也运用此教学法讲授。
t: look at the picture , what happen with that man ?(a picture about dangerous)ss: 真可怕,那个人要雷电击中。
t: it’s dangerous.可怕dangerous,read after me ss: dangerous 2).在学生表达过程中,教师把呈现的形容词进行解释,最后可以由教师带领朗读单词。可要求学生以个人和小组的形式来读出新词。
3).出示几副职业的图片,并提问学生联想如何用恰当的形容词来描述其职业。例如:
t : what does she do ? ss: she is a nurse.t: do you want to be a nurse in future?(point to s1)s1:yes t: why? s1: it’s an interesting and busy job.step three: teaching section b 1a、lb、1c 1 a this activity introduces the key vocabulary.1、要求学生完成中1a部分习题,利用课件核对答案。
a.focus attention on the six pictures.ask, what job does the person have? where does the person ivnrk? b.point out the numbered list of words.say each one and ask students to repeat.then use simple explanations and short sample sentences to help students understand what each word means.for example, exciting means very interesting and very fast-moving.a police officer has an exciting job.the job is always changing.something is always happening.for dangerous you might say, dangerous means not safe.you might be hurt or killed in a dangerous job.c.then ask students to match each word with one of the pictures.say, write the letter of each picture next to one of the words.point out the sample answer.d.check the answers.1.a
2.c 3.f
4.e
5.h
2、引导学生谈论其他工作的种类,并用1a中的形容词进行描述 1b this activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.a.call attention to the picture in this activity and ask a student to read the statement to the class.then point to the picture of the police officer and say.it's an exciting job.ask the class to repeat.then say, what else can you say about being a police officer? someone may answer, it's a dangerous job.ask the class to repeat each correct answer.b.then ask students to work in pairs.suggest that they each point to the pictures of the workers and make statements about them.as students practice, move around the classroom monitoring their work..1 c this activity provides an opportunity for oral practice.a.say, name some of the jobs from this unit.write this list of jobs on the board.say, can you name some other jobs? add any new jobs to the list.b.ask some students to make statements about jobs on the list using the words in activity la.you may wish to write some of the sentences on the board so that students can copy the sentences into their notebooks.step four

第四篇:新目标版英语第十一单元第一课时教学设计
九年级《新目标英语》Unit 11第一课时教学设计
信丰四中 唐雪花
一 指导思想与理论依据
英语教学要坚持教学的实践性原则,新课标要求英语教师在教学过程中注重教学内容的整合,注重真实情景下学生的语言活动。语言的交际性和实践性决定了要在语境中、活动中以及在交际中学习英语,感受英语。因此教师要精心地组织好教学活动,从而在语境中、活动练习中和交际中向学生潜移默化地渗透德育内容。这样,既可以较好地培养学生的思维能力,提高学生的学习兴趣,活跃课堂气氛,又能促进学生主动性和能动性的发挥,并形成独立的人格和高尚的道德风貌。
二 教学背景分析 学习内容分析《Go for it》九年级 Unit 11 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are? Section A 1a-1b-1c本课是学会礼貌地向他人询问信息,能够描叙地理位置、给他人指路或提供帮助,能够熟练运用where、how 和if引导的宾语从句。学生情况分析
鉴于教学对象是九年级的学生,这些学生在七年级已经学过问路和指路的日常交际用语。而本课是在此基础上给出更有礼貌、更有效的询问信息的方式,进行口头表达。3 教学方式
任务型教学法
交际法
学生中心教学法
多媒体教学
归纳教学法 教学手段说明
(1)为引起学生兴趣,本课大量创设情景,需要使用著名歌星、影星的剧照;加上在教学新单词的时候,为了直观、形象地建立单词和实物的联系,要用到许多日用品和建筑物的图片,需要PPT幻灯媒体,以便更快捷、更直接、更明晰地呈现新单词和新语言项目。
(2)本课使用黑板传统视觉媒体,呈现新语言总结归纳语法现象。
(3)对于课文内容,由于本课出现了听力练习,所以采用录音机作为听觉媒体。5 学情分析
由于九年级部分学生因为基础较差难以参与课堂活动,对这些学生应尽量鼓励他们,分配比较简单的任务给他们,一旦成功立即给予表扬,让他们体验到成功,调动他们的积极性,从而更有兴趣主动学习。对于接受能力较强的学生,分配给难度较高的练习,如上台表演等,不至于让他们出现“吃不饱”的现象。
三 教学目标设计 教学目标
语言知识:掌握Could you please tellme„?句末用声调表达礼貌。
语言技能: 能针对所听语段的内容记录简单信息。能有效地询问信息和提供帮助。语言运用: 能在有困难的时候向他人询问信息。听懂他人的询问并给予回答。文化意识: 能得体地运用日常交际用语,提高跨文化交际能力。
情感态度: 能在英语交流中注意并理解他人的情感,乐于接触并了解异国文化。能在小组活动中与他人合作、互助,共同完成学习任务。
学习策略: 积极参与课内外英语学习活动,学会合作交流,发现语言规律。2 教学重点
使用Could you please tell me„ ? 句型,有礼貌的询问信息。3 教学难点
运用宾语从句, 注意从句中只能使用陈叙句语序。运用任务
能根据所给出的地图,用目标语言做对话。结合本地街道实际,运用所学知识创设对话。
四 教学过程与教学资源设计
1热身准备
老师用幻灯片展示课题和语言目标ask for information politely 2 创设情景 导入新课
老师用幻灯片展示著名歌星(如学生喜欢的超女)、影星的剧照(如哈利.波特)。创设情景,导入新课。
Do you know them? Are you their fans? Imagine they will come to visit our school next week.Because they come to our school for the first time, they must need your help.Would you like to help them?(让学生集体回答)
老师问问题:他们想知道“老师办公室在哪儿”,怎么问?点人回答。接触新语言项目 呈现新词语
(1).呈现新语言知识,告诉学生更有礼貌的问法是Excuse me.Could you please tell me where the teachers’office is?板书该句子,将the teachers’ office is 用彩色粉笔写出,引起重视。指出问句必须使用升调,否则不礼貌。
(2).用幻灯片展示实物图片教学新单词,并让学生把新单词代入刚学的句型中。4完成Activity 1 a 任务
情景再现:“哈利.波特”一行人住在宾馆里,他们不清楚日用品该在哪儿购买,要求同学们帮帮他们。看图片,讨论表格中的物品能在图中那个地方买到。等学生找到答案后,给出对话的模式让学生操练。
Harry: Excuse me.Could you please tell me where I can buy some„? You : Sure.You can buy„in /at „.5 完成Activity 1 b听力训练任务
创设情景:“哈利.波特”等人在明确了日用品和何处购买,仍然不知道该建筑物具体在哪条街道。
(1).看1a图片,根据图片描叙建筑物的地理位置。
板书练习模式:--Excuxe me.Could you please tell me where the bank is ?
--Sure.It’s on Main Street.(2).提出完成对话的要求。放两次录音。核对答案。(3).根据图片中的对话,要求学生自己创设对话。6运用新语言项目完成1c任务
(1).操练对话 幻灯片展示对话模式
A:Excuse me.Could you please tell me where I can get a dictionry? B:Sure.There’s a bookstore on River road.通过使用幻灯片展示课文街道图,变换日用品实物图片练习对话。
(2). 简短复习已经学过的问路、指路的日常用语如:Turn left./ On the right./ At the sceond crossing./ Next to./In front of./ Behind./near /across the road.(3).大屏幕展示课前设计好的较复杂的本地街道图,每张幻灯片配上某明星或某歌星(向你求助者)的照片和本课所学的某一种日用品,应用所给对话模式练习。要求学生两人小组练习。7总结语法现象和规律
(1).总结本课重点句型,让学生明白在人际交往中应礼貌待人。
(2).和学生一起归纳:宾语从句必须使用陈叙句语序。用幻灯片给出配套练习例子。下发课后思考题。五 学习效果评价设计 学生学习效果分析
听的环节是本课的一个主要任务,是“输入”的过程,让学生带着问题听,在听的过程中有的放矢,捕捉有效信息,同时又提醒学生注意观察并发现需要注意的表达方式,为后续的语言实践积累实用句型。通过让学生在具体语境中发现新句型,有效地提高学生分析问题和解决问题的能力,给学生提供了提高观察能力,分析能力和归纳总结能力的发展平台。教师教学效果分析
针对教材以及学生情况的分析,我将教学活动建立在学生相对感兴趣信息基础上,选用深受学生喜欢的影视明星,围绕询问信息、描叙地理位置的话题,在交流和合作学习中探究新的话题(问路、指路),延伸学生学习的范围,从而贯彻新目标的精神。六 本次教学设计特色
1新课标注重学生的情感因素,着力培养学生的学习兴趣,激发学生的学习动机。本课主要采用任务教学方法,同时采用交际法、发现式语法学习法、学生中心教学法,以及有语境的操练教学等方法。
2任务型教学法是让学生在完成一个或一系列真实的交际任务过程中,通过运用语言,达到掌握语言的目的。学生为了完成交际任务而学习、使用语言,学生有明确的学习动机,所以学习积极性较高,学习效果较好。
3本节课的中心任务是询问信息,询问信息就必需与人交际。交际法是遵循学生按自然顺序习得语言的方法。交际法重视在实践运用中掌握语法,此种教法效果良好,是当代语言教学的一种重要教法;
4鉴于学生真正运用英语的机会不是很多,所以本课设计为帮助初次来本地访问的明星这一任务,让学生在这个具有吸引力的情景中以学生为中心通过操练,熟练掌握新目标语言。在最后阶段使用交际法,将所学语言用于实际生活真实情景。
5本课用发现式语法学习法,让学生总结宾语从句的使用规则。因为这一内容学生以前已经接触过,不是很难总结,比较容易发现基本规律。同时九年级学生正需要构建比较完整的语法体系,这一活动有利于促进学生形成较系统的语法知识。
