Language教案【第二篇】

一、教学说明 (Teaching Remarks):

本堂课把读前(Pre-reading)和阅读(reading)结合在一起。Pre-reading使学生熟悉话题,预测阅读内容,激发阅读兴趣和欲望。Reading是1篇说明文,是对“外语学习究竟难不难”提出看法并说明理由,设法使读者信服,达到启发思维、提高认识、增长知识的目的。

教学设计充分利用了多媒体电脑的优势,把搜集到的相关知识和课文中的内容相结合,择机设计一些活动,帮助学生化难为易,提高自信心,明确阅读的重点,达到启迪心智、增强理解能力的目的。

二、教学目标(Teaching Aims):

知识目标:通过阅读 Reading这篇文章,学习文中的一些有用的词语和句型扩大学生的词汇量,提高语言运用能力。

能力目标:1. 采用不同的阅读方法理解课文,提高学生的阅读能力。

2. 学习文中成功的语言学习者的优秀品质,并鼓励学生将其运用到实践当中,以便提高自己的英语学习能力。

德育目标: 教导学生:好的学习方法固然重要,但勤勉更重要。“no pains, no gains.”

三、教学重点(Teaching Key Points):

1.采用不同的阅读技巧,让学生了解文章大意,并归纳每段文章的中心意思(main idea)和文章的主旨(purpose of the text)。

2.掌握文中的重点词汇、短语和句型。

四、教学难点(Teaching Difficult Points):

把文中所学到的有用的外语学习者的经验运用到学生的英语学习上,以便于提高他们的英语水平。

五、教学方法(Teaching Methods):

1. Ask and answer 和 pictures 相结合,导入课文。

2. Fast reading 归纳每段文章的中心意思(main idea)和文章的主旨(purpose of the text), 提高学生的阅读能力。

3. Careful reading 回答问题,了解文章细节内容。

4. Group work 讨论成功语言学习者的经验和特点。

5. Explaining and learning 掌握文中重点词汇、句型。

六、教学辅助(Teaching Aids):

Multi-media Computer,tape

七、媒体的设计:

首先利用课文标题 “Learning a Foreign Language: Twice as Hard?” 问学生 “How do you think of this question?” 让学生讨论导入。然后利用图片与Pre-reading部分的问题相结合的方式,展开讨论与问答,启发学生思考,引起联想,使学生对语言学习这个问题产生更浓的兴趣,以

促使他们学习方式的优化,提高其自主学习的能力。由于Pre-reading部分内容都在 “Reading”部分要进一步阐明,这就让学生先行考虑, 做好了准备,使他们提高阅读的自主性。

图片与问题设计如下:

Question1. How do we learn our mother tongue? 配以 “中国孩子认汉字、学古诗”和“外国孩子学母语,”的图片,学生根据图片和自身的经历便可轻而易举地回答此问题。

Question2. What are the difficulties we must face in learning English?

Question3. How is learning a foreign language different from learning our mother tongue? 配以孩子们围绕着电视看卡通米老鼠学英语的图片。让学生感受到我们从小是如何学英语的以及学英语和学母语 的区别。

Question4. What are the characteristics of successful language learners?

Question5. How can we develop our confidence?

Question6. What can we do to learn better and faster?

配以李阳疯狂学英语和全国中学生英语口语大赛图片,学生从问题和图片中就可以体会到成功语言学习者的优秀品质,降低了回答以上问题的难度。

有了以上的准备工作,让学生进入Reading 快读。首句阅读并skim the whole text,找出每段的大意,呈现于屏幕上,检查学生阅读的效果,把握学生对文章的总体理解程度。

第三步进入课文精读。此部分内容的设计目的是使学生读懂文中的细节,从而找出文中的难点。问题按文中段落依次设计如下:

Question1. How do we acquire our mother tongue? (paragraph1)

Question2. How do different people explain our ability to learn our mother tongue? ( paragraph2)

Question3. At what age have most children mastered their mother tongue? (paragraph2)

Question4. How is learning a foreign language different from learning one’s mother tongue? (paragraph3)

Question5. In the writer’s opinion, which is faster learning mother tongue and learning foreign language? (paragraph3)

Question6. Why are some people better at learning foreign language than others? (paragraph4)

Question7. Why are successful language students able to gain confidence and to relax and enjoy learning? (paragraph5)

Question8. In which areas are

the successful language learners better? (paragraph5)

Question9. How can the learners make their language acquisition better? (paragraph5)

Question10. How can we become successful language learners? (paragraph 6)

重点词语讲解,排忧解难。把文中出现的重点词语呈现于屏幕上,进行讲解,使学生达到熟知会用。

为了进一步为学生的交际创设情景,让学生用自己的话把文中成功语言学习者的经验做一归纳,于屏幕上显示出来,以便加深学生对这些特点的印象,从而加以利用。

反馈检测练习的设计重在检测学生对文中重点词汇的掌握,因此以短文填空的形式出现。

1. major, local & represent

课文原句they will be meeting at a major hotel with local business people and people who represent the chinese government. (p25)

名师点拨(1) major adj. 表示“主要的;较大的;重要的”,句中a major hotel 意思是“大酒店”;major经常用作名词,意为“主修课程;专业课”;可作动词,主要用于major in,意为“主修”。如:

2. introduce

课文原句you introduce them to each other, and are surprised by what you see. (p26)

名师点拨introduce表示“介绍;引荐;引进;采用”等意思,常和to连用,即introduce… to…。在本句中是“介绍;引荐”的意思。如:

let me introduce myself to you first.

the chairman introduced the speaker to the audience.

知识拓展introduce的名词形式是introduction,意为“介绍”,多作不可数名词,有时候也作可数名词;还可译为“引论;导言;概论”,是可数名词。如:

my next guest needs no introduction (= is already known to everyone).

before the meeting began i made the necessary introductions.

the introduction in a book tells us what the book is about.

3. approach & touch

课文原句mr garcia approaches mrs smith, touches her shoulder and kisses her on the cheek. (p26)

名师点拨(1) approach vt. & vi. 意为“接近;靠近;走近”。approach作名词讲时,表示“方法;步骤;途径;接近”,用于make approaches to sb,表示“想法接近(认识)某人”。如:

we could just see the train approaching in the distance.

the time is approaching when we must be on board.

all approaches were blocked because of the accident.

a new approach should be found to solve the matter.

5. avoid

课文原句it is an interesting study and can help you avoid difficulty in communication. (p26)

do remind me because i'm likely to forget.

it's quite likely that we'll be in spain this time next year.

they are likely to refuse your invitation.

知识拓展likely, possible, probable都含有“可能的”的意思,但也有差异:

likely指从表面迹象来看很有可能。如:

look at the black clouds. it is likely to rain tonight.

possible指由于有适当的条件和方法,某事可能发生或做到,强调“客观上有可能”, 但常含有“实际希望很小”的意思。如:

it is possible to go to the moon now.

probable语气比 possible强,“可能性”最大,指有根据、合情理、值得相信的事物,带有“大概、很可能”的意思。如:

i don't think the story is probable.

7. at ease

课文原句a smile is the universal facial expression — it is intended to put people at ease. (p29)

名师点拨at ease是个固定词组,意思是“处在舒适、自由自在的状态下”。本句中put people at ease意为“使人自由自在;不拘束”。如:

Part II. Analysis of the teaching methods

Question-and-answer activity teaching method

Watch-and-listen activity

Free discussion method

Pair work or individual work method

To reach my teaching aims, I’ll take advantage of some teaching aids, such as a tape recorder, multimedia, the blackboard

Part III. Analysis of the learning approach

Interest is the best teacher. But with the heavy study burden and

impact of the traditional spoon-feeding teaching, sometimes the

students may lose the interest in learning and are not independent

enough. So how to motivate them, develop their interest and build up

their self-study ability are the first things I am considering about

PartIV. The teaching process

Step 1 Warming up

Show a short film and a MTV show and ask the students the following questions:

T: How do the actors in the show express themselves?

S: By facial expressions and what they do.

T: What do we call that?

S: Body language.

T: What is body language?

S: Body language is the movements or positions of our body. We use them to show other people what we are thinking about and how we are feeling.

[设计说明] 让学生在课前欣赏两段表演,在活跃气氛,激发学生对身势语的兴趣的同时,通过回答演员们如何表现自己这一问题引出本课话题------body language.

Step 2 Brainstorming

Show some gestures and ask the students to guess what the gestures mean.

[设计说明] 展现几幅身势语图片以激发学生的学习兴趣和参与的热情,创造轻松的课堂氛围,最后用一幅图片调动学生的求知欲------同一身势语在不同文化背景下可能会有不同的含义。

Step 3 Reading &comprehension

(1) Listen to the text and answer the following questions:

T: Does body language have the same meaning in different countries?

S: No.

T: What is the best example of universally understood body language?

S: The smile

[设计说明] 在学生预习的基础上,用听力的形式唤起学生对课文内容的回忆,并训练学生通过听获取主要信息的能力,从整体上把握好文章的内容。

(2) Ask students to read the text quickly and find out the main idea/key sentence of each paragraph in pairs.

Para 1: We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people.

Para 2: Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.

(The same gesture has different meanings in different countries.)

Para 3: People in different countries show the same idea in different ways.

Para 4: Some gestures seem to be 5: Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile.

*Teachers can also ask students how many parts we can divide the whole text into and what the main idea of each part is.

Part 1 (Para 1): We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people.

Part 2 (Para 2-3): Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.

Part 3 (Para 4-5): Some gestures seem to be universal.

[设计说明] 阅读课要提高学生提炼文章主旨大意的能力,通过归纳总结一方面从整体上把握文章。另一方面也可提高阅读技能。

Step 5 Discussion/Assessment

Imagine you are the boss of the company and you want to employ a man as your assistant. Judging from the body language of the four men, which one will you choose? Why?

[设计说明] 培养学生运用所学知识,围绕中心话题进行思考和讨论的能力,提高学生英语口头表达的技能;准备好四张卡片,让四位学生上台用身势语将卡片上内容表现出来。让其他学生作出选择,并解释选择的原因。通过这种方式一方面可以让学生学会用身势语表达自己。另一方面锻炼了口语。

Step 6 Dumb show

Think of some situations in your daily life in which you use body language and then try to act them out without any words. You can work in pairs or groups.

[设计说明] 学生以小组形式开展活动,讨论真实语境下的身势语的表达,通过这一话题,一方面激活了学生的思维,活跃了课堂气氛,另一方面也让学生学会了观察生活,从而学会生活;同时在表演结束后再让其他学生用英语描述表演者所表现的情景,培养观察身势语的能力,并在想象,猜测的过程中形成内心语言,最终用语言复述自己的思想。
