第二篇：小学英语课文教学

小学英语课文教学

课文教学是小学英语教学的重点。传统的小学英语课文教学的共性特征集中表现为“讲读”。“讲读式”的小学英语课文教学注重英语语言知识。特别是语法知识的讲授和灌输。“讲读式”的小学英语课文教学有其可取之处，它或许可以使小学生的语言知识掌握的较为扎实年，也有利于小学生根据所学的语法知识生成若干完全符合英语语法的句子。但是，由于这种教法过于强调语法知识的传授和学生所输出的英语色规范性，他在教学目标和教学要求上也就不可避免的带有较大的片面性，甚至背离了小学英语教学的宗旨，不利于促进小学生乐于开口说英语，也不利于促进小学生生动，活泼，自主和全面的发展。如何促进小学生乐于开口说英语，如何促进小学生生动，活泼，自主和全面的发展，我觉得要从以下四个步骤入手： 一．预习课文遵循要求

学生要掌握好教师所教的知识，就必须做好课前的预习工作。有些学生，教师在讲台上讲得绘声绘色生动感人，他们在台下却不知所云。这些学生，因为没有做好课前的预习，因此听课效果极差。相反，有些学生课前预习做得好，在课堂上就能质疑问难，大胆发言，积极参与。这样，在学习中的主体作用得到充分发挥，听课效果就能达到最佳状态。做好课前预习不仅能提高听课效果，而且能培养学生的自学能力。学生在预习中不仅要动口、动脑，还要动手。他们要通过默读或朗读来了解课文内容，要自己动脑筋完成预习提示或教师所提出的具体要求。在这一过程中，学生的自学能力得到了培养。所以教师在课前要布置好预习工作，针对课文内容提出预习的要求，而不是只是随口说一下：“回去预习课文，明天上新课。”这样就达不到预习课文的效果。我们一定要根据这些具体要求，有的放矢地进行预习，预习才会有效。预习课文我们可以从以下几个方面着手：首先通读课文，发现课文中不懂的单词并作好记号，在后面的单词表里寻找，理解其意思;其次是找出新的句型，试图理解它的结构;最后再次朗读课文，解决老师提出的要求。二．呈现课文形式多样

预习只是让学生有个初步得了解，让学生知道我们要学什么新课。教授课文的过程才是最为重要的。英语课文教学要有整体性，逐字逐句地进行语法结构分析，以灌输知识为主，把学生当作消极的接收器。这样做，其实是将语言的两个不可分割的重要组成部分：形式（即结构）与内容（即意义）人为地割裂开来。一些学生上了几节课还不知道该课文说的是怎么回事。新英语教学大纲指出："……课文开始就分段教学，容易产生见树不见林的毛病，不利于学生掌握课文的中心思想和进行听、说、读、写的训练。所以英语课文以整体教学为前提，教学的环节要清晰，要针对课文设计合理的教学方法，一般我们的英语课文教学可以采取以下几种方法：（1）“儿歌式”英语课文教学

课文很长，句子又难上口，如果只是采用枯燥的读单词，读句子，读课文的教学方法，学生肯定会感觉很厌倦，达不到良好的教学效果。如果把课文中难上口的句子在诗歌中呈现出来，学生会更有兴趣接受。在诗歌教学中，先把英文用五颜六色的粉笔在黑板上写出来，有些单词还可用彩色的单词图片代替，再配以有意义的动作或按节奏击掌唱歌或读小诗，读小诗时还要巧妙的运用升级调来进行朗读，学生就会被深深的吸引。等到学生熟练掌握歌曲和小诗后，难上口的句子自然而然的就已经上口了，这时再进行课文教学就轻松得多了。

（2）“提问式”英语课文教学

“提问式”英语课文教学是通过提问引出话题`激活学生的现有知识或组织学生预测，然后通过提问给学生布置要回答的问题，组织学生进行听课文或阅读课文，寻求问题的答案。带着问题去听或阅读课文，学生有了一定的压力，会集中精神，专心致志的对待课文，从而更有效的掌握课文。通过提问可以锻炼学生的口头交流能力，培养学生解决问题的能力。

（3）“情境式”英语课文教学

英语情境教学能活跃课堂气氛，激发学生的学习兴趣，锻炼学生的语言能力。是我们进行小学英语课文的一种常用的方法。我们可以根据课文内容创设真实的情境，使学生有种身临其境的感觉，学生在真实的情境中更容易进入角色，课堂气氛也异常活跃，让学生置身于贴近自己生活的语境中，产生亲切感，积极主动地参与课文，如何为课文创设情境，我们可以运用直观教学手段，电教媒体，改变教学环境等方法创设情境，这样学生会自然地进入到课文的情境中去。

三．操练课文有效到位 操练课文的方法也有很多，如运用游戏，比赛等形式进行操练，可以激发学生的兴趣，为了使操练更有效，我们可以分以下三个步骤进行：（1）复述课文。复述课文是培养学生实际运用语言能力和口头表达能力的最佳方法，是培养学生听说能力的有效途径。教师可给出课文中的关键词、短语，要求学生提纲性地口述课文大意。对于有故事情节、趣味性较强的课文可由学生分别担任课文中的人物角色，进行表演性复述。还可利用根据课文内容绘制的图片、图表、实物等引导学生复述。

（2）师生问答。将全班同学分成若干组，根据课文内容，学生以小组互相问答，也可在全班由教师、学生共同提问题进行问答。在了解、熟悉课文内容的基础上师生进行这样的练习，不仅使学生复习、巩固词汇、句型、语法知识，同时也使口语、听力训练变得简单、易懂，学生学习英语的兴趣、积极性和自信心大为增强。

（3）书面练习。在对学生进行听力、口语、阅读能力培养的同时，还应对他们进行一定量的笔头训练。该项训练既要考虑有利于复习巩固本课知识，又要考虑练习题具有综合性、新颖性、灵活性的特点。如可做些选择填空、句型转换、完形填空、改错练习等。此外写日记、小短文也是不可缺少的书面练习。四 背诵课文准确及时

我要求学生在新授完英语课文后准确及时的背诵，在应试教育已经成为过去，素质教育占领主阵地的今天，让学生背诵课文是否有违素质教育的要求？我觉得不是如此，背诵课文有很多好处。首先课文背诵必须要在熟读课文基础上进行，必须牢记课文中新单词的发音，准确背诵课文有利于学生掌握新单词和新句型。背诵课文同时也可以培养学生良好的语感，所谓熟能生巧，在对话过程中学生会吐口而出用英语进行交流，提高了学生的英语口语水平。背诵课文要及时，不及时背诵很快会忘记课文的内容，某些新单词的发音也会忘记，这样就会增加背诵的难度，只有在刚教完后趁热打铁才能快速准确的背诵课文。当然要求学生背诵课文也要讲究方法，只是让学生去背诵课文，学生会很厌烦。现在的小学生好胜心都很强，我们可以针对这一点采取激励的方法要求学生背诵课文，如果谁先会背，背得准确、流利，谁就能得到奖励，这样学生会积极踊跃的背诵课文。

总之，教师在英语课文教学中，应让学生自主参与，充分地接受听、说、读、写的训练，充分调动学生的学习积极性，培养他们的学习兴趣，这样他们实际运用语言的能力自然会得到提高。

第三篇：初中语文文言文课文《出师表》教学设计方案终稿

初中语文文言文课文《出师表》教学设计方案终稿

教学内容：《出

师

表》

教学目标

1、理清作者的写作思路，把握文章结构特点。

2、领会文章融议论、记叙、抒情为一体的写法。

3、重新认识诸葛亮，并了解其政治主张。课时安排 3课时。

教学内容和步骤

第一课时

一、导入新课（播放歌曲）《三国演义》主题歌——《滚滚长江东逝水》。读过《三国演义》的人都知道，这阙《临江仙》是这部著作的开篇词。但这首词作者并不是罗贯中，而是明朝中叶的文学大家杨慎。罗贯中是从杨慎那里抄来的吗？不是，罗贯中为元末明初人，而杨慎是明朝中期人。最初《三国演义》开篇并没有此《临江仙》，是清初毛宗岗父子将其移植在卷首，不管怎么移植，我们都相信罗贯中和杨慎两老人家都不会有意见。就像被罗贯中演义神化的诸葛亮，老诸葛也很乐意，可怜他的一片忠心能流芳百世，老罗有很大的功劳，只不过老罗演义，内容可信度不高，真正值得信赖的文字还算是老诸葛本人的《出师表》，今天我们就来学习诸葛亮的这篇经典名作。

二、背景知识

1、本文的学习目标；

2、作者简介；

3、时代背景；

4、标题。

2、录音范读课文。

接下来请同学们听朗读录音，大家注意停顿、重音。（播放经典诵读录音）

3、请全体学生朗读第一段，然后对照课下注释及《名校课堂》翻译把第一段重点字词句圈划出来。请学生解释翻译第一段的重点字、词、句（让学生默读几分钟）。

4、请学生快速阅读第一段，思考：

作者指出当时的形势如何？值此“危急存亡之秋”，内外大臣表现如何？内外大臣如此，作者希望国君又当如何？由此得出作者提出的第一条建议是什么？

点拨：（请学生引用课本的话回答）“先帝创业未半而中道崩殂，今天下三分，益州疲弊”；“侍卫之臣不懈于内，忠志之士忘身于外者”；“开张圣听，以光先帝遗德，恢弘志士之气，不宜妄自菲薄”；“开张圣听”或“广开言路”。

四、课堂小结：

这堂课我们主要了解了作者以及写作的时代背景，重点分析了课文第一段，初步了解诸葛亮请求出师的原因——蜀国危急存亡。通过正反对比分析，给刘禅提出第一条建议——要广开言路。

出师未捷身先死，长使英雄泪满襟。----杜甫《蜀相》 出师一表真名世，千载谁堪伯仲中间。-------陆游《书愤》

六、小结。

封建社会推崇诸葛亮，或由于他助刘兴汉是正统，或由于他受了知遇，一生尽忠，是忠臣的典型。人们今天肯定诸葛亮，主要是因为他是一个杰出的政治家、军事家，对于他的“忠”，我们应当赋予新的内容。例如《后出师表》中说的“鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已”，现在已被赋予全心全意为人民服务的新义。

七、布置作业

1．背诵有关诸葛亮的诗句。

2．以“我眼中的诸葛亮”为题写一篇小作文 附1：戏说《出师表》

阿斗，你亮叔我跟你讲几句：你爹当年出来混，半道上就给挂了，现在地盘又分成三块了，益州好像咱也罩不住了，这世道眼瞅着要杯具了。但是你爸留下的保镖还很忠心啊，出去砸场的那些二杆子也都不想要命了，这些都是看在你爸往日给钱的份上，现在想报答罢了。叔现在就希望你放机灵点，完成你爹的遗愿，让兄弟们也扬眉吐气，千万不要把自己当成不值钱的葱，把弟兄们的心给憋屈了。

附2：教学反思

《出师表》是一篇上书言事的应用文，也是实用性很强的议论文。其中关于修明政治所作的阐述，对后世很有借鉴意义。这篇文章的写作风格却又与我们通常所理解的应用文迥异，作者以恳切的言辞，表达了真挚厚重的感情。多数学生是喜欢这篇课文的。除文中少数语句必须由教师解释外，绝大部分语句可以让学生对照注解，相互启发，自行弄清大意。但文章内容上的重点到底是什么，学生往往把握不住；对于诸葛亮是怎样突出他的论述重点的，学生更难以体会得深刻。因此，在教学过程中应该把课文的重点、难点化成若干足以启迪学生思维的问题，并把这些问题按合理的顺序编排，进而把学生的阅读思考活动导向深人。

在教学预案中我把课时几种在课文段落理解上，但结合新课标对语文教学“以读为主”的要求和中考考点，为了培养学生的综合能力，在最终的教学设计上，我还是增加了更多的学生自学阅读以及丰富的课外知识，比如第三课时的古文通假字古今词义专门划出来讲，就是为了让学生对于这些常见的古文词语有更深刻的理解，达到举一反三的效果，又例如，在第三课时适当的增加了课外拓展的训练，极大的激发了学生的学习文言文课堂兴趣同时丰富了学生的语文综合知识，这些都是极有利的。全班交流译文的时候，学生译文还是基本通顺的。因为时间紧，我没有对一些重要词作重点讲解，可能有些词学生没理解，就过去了。这一点，在以后的教学中要多加注意。

第四篇：英语课文（模版）

Unit1 One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do.The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor.Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired;there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity.American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge;on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case.There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present.And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West.When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent(the “Standing on the shoulders of giants” phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this:

Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills? Unit2 Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have.My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles.But it is still dependable.My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing.My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors.My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.In spite of what I don’t have, I don’t feel poor.Why? I’ve enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years.It’s not just that I’ve been illness-free, it’s that I feel vigorous and spirited.Exercising is actually fun for me.I look forward to long, energizing walks.And I love the “can do” attitude that follows.I also cherish the gift of creativity.When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside.I’m continually surprised at the insights that come through my writing process.And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.Unit4 I’d never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours.I’d never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company.I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world.I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven’t fled New York City.I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week.I arrange interviews for stories, doctor’s appointments — anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much.I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable — the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable.I make my excuses and flee.I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune.I enter my password.The real world disappears.Unit5 The runway felt different this time.It startled him for a brief moment.Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay.The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best.That’s only one inch off the National record, he thought.The intensity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety.He began shaking the tension.It wasn’t working.He became more tense.Why was this happening to him now, he thought.He began to get nervous.Afraid would be a more accurate description.What was he going to do? He had never experienced these feelings.Then out of nowhere, and from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother.Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple.His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths.So he did.Along with shaking the tension from his legs, he gently laid his pole at his feet.He began to stretch out his arms and upper body.The light breeze that was once there was now gone.He carefully picked up his pole.He felt his heart pounding.He was sure the crowd did, too.The silence was deafening.When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6 Why are we so quick to limit ourselves? I’m not denying that most little girls love dolls and most little boys love videogames, and it may be true that some people favor the right side of their brain, and others the left.But how relevant is that to me, or to anyone，as

an

Instead of translating our differences into hard and fast conclusions about the human brain, why can’t we focus instead on how incredibly flexible we are? Instead of using what we know as a reason why women can’t learn physics, maybe we should consider the possibility that our brains are more powerful than we imagine.Here’s a secret: math and science don’t come easily to most people.No one was ever born knowing calculus.A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and that takes a leap of faith.It also helps to have selective hearing.Unit7 Two centuries ago an English judge in India noticed that several words in Sanskrit closely resembled some words in Greek and Latin.A systematic study revealed that many modern languages descended from a common parent language, lost to us because nothing was written down.Identifying similar words, linguists have come up with what they call an Indo-European parent language, spoken until 3500 to 2000 B.C.These people had common words for snow, bee and wolf but no word for sea.So some scholars assume they lived somewhere in north-central Europe, where it was cold.Traveling east, some established the languages of India and Pakistan, and others drifted west toward the gentler climates of Europe.Some who made the earliest move westward became known as the Celts, whom Caesar’s armies found in Britain.New words came with the Germanic tribes — the Angles, the Saxons, etc.— that slipped across the North Sea to settle in Britain in the 5th century.Together they formed what we call Anglo-Saxon society.The Anglo-Saxons passed on to us their farming vocabulary, including sheep, ox, earth, wood, field and work.They must have also enjoyed themselves because they gave us the word laughter Unit8 There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields.In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of colour that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines.Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the autumn mornings.Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wild flowers, delighted the traveller’s eye through much of the year.Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow.The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and autumn people travelled from great distances to observe them.Others came to fish the streams，which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout lay.So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells and built their barns.

Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world.If you like sightseeing, you will love it!People’s Square

People’s Square is in the centre of Shanghai.It is a large public area with green grass, fountains and birds.If you visit People’s Square, you can also see famous buildings around it, such as the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Museum.The Bund

The Bund is where old Shanghai meets new Shanghai.If you walk along the Bund, you will see many old buildings.The Pudong New Area, just across the Huangpu River, has many modern buildings.At night, these tall buildings light up the sky in every direction.Yu Garden

Yu Garden is a traditional garden.If you enjoy history and natural beauty, you will love this garden.There are many beautiful buildings, bridges and ponds.You can also buy different snacks just outside the garden.The clubs fair Linda and Leo are new students at Rosie Bridge School.Last month, they attended the Clubs Fair.First, Linda and Leo learnt about the Rocket Club.“Our club will teach you how to build rockets.Then you can launch them into the sky,” a boy said.“Watch!” He took a rocket and launched it.The rocket disappeared into the sky.Linda and Leo were very surprised.“Will it go all the way into space?” Linda asked.“Of course it won’t,” a girl from another club shouted.“Our club is better.Come and join the Solar Power Club.”

“What do you do?” asked Leo.“We make wonderful machines.They only use solar power.Look!”

She took a toy car from the table and then used a remote control to drive it all around the playground.“It uses power from the Sun,” said Linda.“That’s amazing!”

Linda and Leo learnt about many clubs.After the fair, they felt very excited.“I want to join all the clubs,” said Linda.“Me too!” said Leo.Unusual collections Sam and Helen's grandparents collect almost everything.There are eight doorbells on their front door!“This silver doorbell is my favourite,” said Helen.She pushed it and and soon Grandpa opened the door.“Come in,my dear grandson and granddaughter!”he said.“Who started collecting doorbells,Grandpa? ”asked Sam.“Your grandma,” he answered.“She loves doorbells.” “What do you like collecting,Grandpa?” asked Helen.“I like collecting newspapers.” They went inside and saw newspapers everywhere.“Hello children!”called Grandma.“Let's have some tea.” The children followed her into the living room and saw lots of toys there.There was hardly any space for the children to sit down.“Whose toys are these?” asked Helen.“They're ours,” said Grandma.“We both like collecting toys.” “But remember,” said Grandpa,"we have a lot of free time!You have your school work to do,so you shouldn't
