教学反思

本节课设计思路清晰，教学由浅入深，学生积极参与课堂活动，教学效果很好。

首先，通过图片复习早晨一系列的活动，提供练习的语言材料；然后谈论起床前后发生

的一系列事件，导入关键结构一一过去完成时。富有生活情趣的图片和熟悉的生活场景，既

激发了学生的学习兴趣，又使学生很快进入学习状态。

采用任务型教学的策略，坚持“学中用，用中学”。课堂教学以学生为学习主体，以任

务为中心，围绕bythetime引导的从句和过去完成时的关键结构，在精心设计的任务活动中，

引导学生参与、体验、思考、探究，帮助学生在任务中了解知识、学习知识、掌握和应用知

识，从而实现教学目标。在运用语言完成任务的过程中，自始至终贯穿“以交际为目的”的

原则，帮助学生学习和运用语言。

本节课听说活动较多，学生参与积极性高，但在写的训练上教师重视不够，检查面不够，

应引导学生相互检查书写的句子，以帮助练习和巩固教学重点。

教学反思

本节课是一节读写课，各教学环节环环相扣，设计精妙，能力训练较为全面。

复习巩固，落实到位。结合图片，通过一家人早晨的活动复习bythetime引导的从句和

过去完成时的用法，学生兴趣浓厚，复习效果明显，为学生总结和练习过去完成时的用法奠

定了坚实的基础。

坚持精讲多练，读写结合。阅读教学抓住词汇和关键结构，读说并举，理解短文，重视

口语和书面表达的训练。听说读写相互融合，从知识的感知、领悟再到运用，最后完成由知

识向能力的迁移。阅读活动设计由易到难，层层深入；在阅读的每个过程中，教师精心设计

“讲解点”，引导学生自主活动，合作探究。学生在获得知识的同时，也进一步提高了在情

境中运用关键结构进行表达的能力。

教学反思

本节课以听说为主，以听说练习来提升学生的语言综合技能。

课堂设计层次清楚，遵循了循序渐进的原则。教学以谈论中西方节日导入新课，利用图

片和视频简单介绍愚人节的情况，激发了学生兴趣，也为后面听力故事做铺垫。介绍节日时

注意，讲解相关单词的词性和用法，并引导学生用所学的单词练习造句。这样，从词、句子

到故事，符合学生的认知水平，很好地培养了学生的口头、书面表达能力。

注重听说的训练，以说促听，以听促说。听力训练重视听力策略的培养，根据侧重点不

同，注意引导学生捕捉关键信息，提高了学生的听力技巧。听前描述图片，既激发学生兴趣，

又为听力做好铺垫；听后让学生复述故事，针对学生实际，向学生提示了其中一个故事的大

概情节，利用填空形式帮助学生复述，以复述代替对话，训练了学生自行陈述的能力，及自

主完善语言表达的技能。这样的分层次教学更有利于学生发展，给更多学生创造展示自我的

机会，提升了学生学习的自信心。
