M2U1usinglanguage教学设计

1、2011年12月24日Cultural relics 教学设计 教材依据教学年级：高中一年级课题名称：Unit 1 Cultural relics 课 时：using language-A Fact or an Opinion教材版本：人教版授课时间：45分钟 教学背景分析 学生分析1. 本班学生年龄在16岁左右，来自各乡镇。学生对于英语的学习热情较高，但总是喜欢听而不习惯开口说英语。经调查、面谈了解到，学生常常感到想开口但是害怕犯错误，所以课堂上经常处于被动的角色。为了改变这个现象，本课专门设计了对学生互动要求较高的活动，希望长期的锻炼和尝试能够改变学生学习哑巴英语的现象。2. 部分学生对于

2、英语的学习局限于课本的材料和资源，不能找到学习英语的真正用途。基于这种理解，他们对于英语的学习动机就不可能持久而深入。3. 本班学生好奇心强，善于思考，对问题有较强的自主分析水平。4. 本班学生在英语学习上一直都以8人为一小组，并有自己小组的名称以及奋斗目标(如Group 6 为Excellent, Group 5为Active, Group 4为Confident)。小组成员互相协助，共同进步；小组之间的竞争激烈，形成较好的你追我赶的学习风气。 教学内容分析1. Using Language 部分的Reading and listening和speaking主要通过对evidence, fa

3、ct和opinion三个词的讲解辨析，同时结合琥珀屋离奇失踪这个事件，对学生实行听力训练，有效地协助学生将所学内容与实际判断水平的培养结合起来。2. 教材内容安排科学而又符合英语学习者的特点，但是本班学生对于该单元的内容似乎总提不起兴趣，可能对于话题本身也比较陌生。所以同学们的学习停留在阅读上。但是区分事实与观点不但在阅读理解方面更是在现实生活中有着不可忽视的作用。所以，让学生学会判断事实与观点在我看来成为本课的重点内容。3. 根据本班学生的特点，在使用教材部分内容的同时，教师利用自己编写的一个小案例引起学生们的好奇心并促使大家综合地使用英语表达自己的看法，从而又为下一节课的表达看法的写作课做

4、铺垫。 设计思想本节课的整体设计以“学生为中心，活动为中心”的任务型教学原则为基础，以为学生创设开口说英语的情境为目标，通过设计不同的任务，使用多方面的素材，如教师本人所撰写的“Who is the murderer?”小剧本，让学生们在有趣、快乐的小组比赛以及寻找杀人凶手的庭审活动中，既学会了区分事实与观点的技巧，又综合地训练了自己的语言使用水平。在激发学生用英语表达观点的过程中，学生必须首先学会分辨事实与观点，对于5位犯罪嫌疑人的陈述实行分析。缺乏证据的观点通常也能引起学生的质疑，这个点很好地考查了学生对于本课知识是否巩固。此外，该课还培养了学生在学习语言的同时能够学会客观、辨证地看待事物
