教学设计思想
《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》中指出:“教师要善于结合教学实际的需要,灵活地和有创造性地使用教材,对教材的内容、编排顺序和教学方法等方面进行适当的取舍或调整.”本单元以节日为话题,内容比较贴近生活,比较容易被学生接受.根据这个特点,笔者把阅读和写作整合在一起,采用任务型教学方法,引导学生通过观察、归纳、对比和总结等方法了解文章内容,并结合实际为学生提供运用语言知识的机会.活动从整体入手,由易到难,步步推进,为学生的语言输入作了充分准备,从而使语言的输出水到渠成.
教材内容分析
根据《学科教学指导意见》的要求,教师在教学中应以单元话题为核心,以结构和功能项目为主线,组织和安排听、说、读、写的活动,通过“任务型”活动来实现教学目标,使学生能够通过亲身参与和实践,感悟和体验英语,发展语言技能,进而逐步获得综合语言运用能力.本单元话题围绕世界不同节日以及节日所传递的意义展开,第一篇阅读材料是几个典型节日的介绍,第二篇阅读材料是一个发生在情人节的爱情故事,单元的写作任务为续写爱情故事的结局.笔者认为,本单元的写作任务离学生的生活比较远,因而决定重新设计写作任务,从阅读课的第一课时延伸出去要求学生给一位外国笔友回信介绍中外两大重要节日,目的是让学生能结合实践更好地运用阅读获取的信息.
教学目标 Ⅰ.知识技能
a)培养学生把握文章脉络和进行整体阅读的能力; b)学习掌握一些常用的描绘节日的词句和表达法;
如:honour the dead,on the feast day,in memory of,dress up,play a trick,national festival,decorate,religious and social festival,lucky money in red paper,etc.
Some festivals are held to... It is the custom to...
c)培养和提高英语表达能力,形成用英语获得信息、处理信息以及用英语思维和表达相关话题,运用所学知识解决实际问题.
Ⅱ.情感态度
a)通过了解各国典型节日的庆祝方式,帮助学生更好地了解节日的起源和寓意,激发学生热爱生活、热爱生命的情感.
b)通过开展小组活动,指导学生积极与人合作,相互学习,相互帮助,培养其团队精神. Ⅲ.学习策略
a)认知策略:能在语境中熟悉重点词汇的用法,并加以运用.在运用中不断加深对词汇的理解.
b)交际策略:充分利用小组讨论的机会提高运用英语的能力,克服羞怯感,学会和伙伴分享自己的观点.
重点难点
a)培养学生的阅读策略以及获取信息的方法,能完成所设置的相关阅读与写作任务,提高运用语言的综合能力.
b)如何使学生积极参与课堂,有效完成课堂学习任务. 教学策略与手段
在课前充分准备好与课文有关和教学需要的素材,将材料制成多媒体课件.在教学过程中运用情境法和交际法等教学方法.力求使课堂生动活泼,知识容量大,从而激发学生学习兴趣,使学生乐学好学.把“寓思想教育于语言教学之中”的教学思想贯彻在教学中,激发学生带着问题去思考并分析整理形成自己的观点.
课前准备
课前指导学生做好充分的词汇和课文预习工作,要求学生通过多种手段了解与节日相关的知识.教师做好信息收集和多媒体制作,并对学生在讨论话题中可能出现的创造性答案进行预测,以便教师在课堂中可以更好地引导学生和组织课堂.
教学过程
Step 1 Warming up
Activity 1:Have a discussion among students.
a)Show a calendar,and let students guess why some of the days are printed in red.(possible answer:festival,red-letter days,etc.)
b)Festivals are meant to celebrate important events.Different countries have different festivals.List five festivals that you know.
c)Which is your favourite holiday of the year?Why? 【设计说明】
1)用几页日历来展开课堂是激发学生学习兴趣的一种有效手段.以日历上的“红日子”为话题,并以抢答形式调动讨论的气氛,在讨论过程中话题层层深入,让学生的回答从单词到短语到句子,降低了学生的开口紧张度.
2)通过回忆有关描述节日的词汇,可帮助学生复习所学的词汇,也能让老师借机引入新词汇,为课文的阅读作好铺垫.
Activity 2:Present one e-mail from an e-pal from England and talk about how to organize a reply to the e-mail.
(信的部分内容为:I hear Chinese people also celebrate Christmas these years and I wonder
how you celebrate it.Besides,which is more important to you now,Christmas or the Spring Festival?)
【设计说明】
邮件中涉及的内容是与节日相关的话题,在导入的第二步呈现这封邮件,为课堂提供了一个写作任务.运用这封信来导课,更能激发学生通过阅读寻求应答的强烈欲望.
Step 2 Fast reading
Skimming:Skim the passage to find out how many types of festivals are mentioned.(whole class)
Scanning:Match the festivals with the purposes of celebrating.(individual work) ①Obon a.a festival to honour ancestors
②Dragon Boat Festival b.a religious festival to celebrate the coming of spring ③Halloween c.a children's festival to ask for sweets or play a trick ④Thanksgiving Day d.a traditional festival for Chinese to admire the moon ⑤Easter e.a festival in memory of a famous ancient poet—Qu Yuan ⑥Mid-Autumn Festival f.a festival to be grateful because food is gathered 【设计说明】
在快速阅读阶段设计简单问题能抓住学生的注意力,让全班齐答也是因为任务较简单.第二个扫读任务锻炼了学生快速搜索信息的能力.
