《新目標英語》中的具體語言目標是通過各種各樣的Tasks來實現(xiàn)的;學生需要運用具體而特定的行動來完成一定的交際任務(wù)。整個教學過程中,各種語言結(jié)構(gòu)與語言功能與不同的學習任務(wù)有機的結(jié)合。任務(wù)活動所謀求的效果不是一種機械的語言訓練,而是側(cè)重在執(zhí)行任務(wù)中學生自我完成任務(wù)的能力和策略的培養(yǎng);重視形式在完成任務(wù)過程中的參與和在交流活動中所獲得的經(jīng)驗。因此本節(jié)課我將始終引導學生通過完成具體的任務(wù)活動來學習語言,讓學生為了特定的學習目的去實施特定的語言行動,通過完成特定的交際任務(wù)來獲得和積累相應(yīng)的學習經(jīng)驗,讓學生在用中學,在學中用。 2、教學原則 l 活動性原則 提倡學生主動參與,體驗,交流,合作,探究等多種學習。 l 合作性原則 以學生為主體,師生合作,生生合作,體現(xiàn)教與學的互動,交往。 l 任務(wù)型原則 任務(wù)驅(qū)動—激發(fā)動機;任務(wù)完成—激勵學習積極性;執(zhí)行任務(wù)—培養(yǎng)責任 心和合作精神。 l 情感性原則 激發(fā)學生學習英語的興趣和始終保持良好的學習情緒。
二 說學情 “以學生的發(fā)展為本”的新課程理念,要求教學必須以學生的學習基礎(chǔ)、學生需要、學習興趣等為出發(fā)點,聯(lián)系學生的現(xiàn)代校內(nèi)外生活,讓課堂教學成為學生生命成長和個性張揚的過程。要實現(xiàn)以“學生為本”的理念,教學中必須要做到充分地預(yù)設(shè)學情。初三學生已經(jīng)具備了一定的語言基礎(chǔ)及語言表達能力,大部分學生對英語還有著比較濃厚的興趣。同時,在長期的新課程理念熏陶及實踐中,已經(jīng)初步具備了自主,合作,探究的能力。本課教學內(nèi)容與學生的實際生活密切相關(guān),易于引發(fā)學生運用簡單的英語進行交際和交流。通過八年級下冊第九單元“Have you ever been to an amusement park?”的學習,學生已初步了解現(xiàn)在完成時的基本特征和結(jié)構(gòu),也比較熟悉“has/have been to…”的句型,這非常有利于本單元教學活動的開展。在此基礎(chǔ)上,本單元以“Preparing for a vacation”和“Favorite band”等貼近學生實際生活的內(nèi)容為話題,繼續(xù)學習帶有already與yet的現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài),較快地激發(fā)學生的學習積極性,達成本單元的教學目標。
二、教法學法1、任務(wù)型教學法:每個教學環(huán)節(jié)都是圍繞著如何完成一個教學任務(wù)來設(shè)計的。2、感悟法:創(chuàng)設(shè)語境,讓學生在一定的語言環(huán)境中感悟語言內(nèi)涵,從而實現(xiàn)悟中學的目的。只有學生自己悟出的東西才能較好地內(nèi)化為自己的東西。3、合作點撥法:通過教師創(chuàng)設(shè)的學習氛圍,設(shè)置問題和反思質(zhì)疑,推動師生,生生間的合作探究,小組合作學習,在解決問題中完成教學目標。以培養(yǎng)他們的合作探究的意識與精神。三、教學程序1 導入新課利用課件中的圖片導入:在大屏幕上出示汶川大地震中一些悲慘的圖片,讓同學們說出汶川,然后老師說as well-know a stong earthquake happened in wenchuan,so many kind people go there to help others.再出示一些軍人,醫(yī)療工作者,志愿者忙碌的身影,特別是溫家寶總理看望受傷的孩子,讓同學們知道一方有難,四方支持,幫助困難中的人是很有意義的。然后說Would you like to help others?What would you like to do?

教材分析本單元是九年級的最后一個教學新課的單元。這個單元主要是圍繞著有關(guān)瀕臨滅絕的動物這一話題,讓學生學習怎樣保護我們的環(huán)境,以及就某一問題展開辯論。在學習新知識的同時,還復(fù)習一般現(xiàn)在時(Present Simple)、現(xiàn)在進行時( Present Progress)、一般過去時( Past Tense)、現(xiàn)在完成時(Present Perfect)等時態(tài)及被動語態(tài)(Passive Voice)。本課為第一課時,是培養(yǎng)聽說能力為主的新授課。這節(jié)課要為整個單元的學習起到一個熱身的作用,不僅要求學生掌握一定的詞匯量,為下面的學習打下很好的基礎(chǔ),而且要求學生收集有關(guān)瀕臨滅絕的動物的信息,為后面的話題提供了充分的語言基礎(chǔ)和語言依據(jù)。因此,我把本課的重點、難點確定于:1、語音、詞匯方面:一些表示動物名稱的名詞(nouns)和描寫動物特征的形容詞(description words);2、通過聽說等練習,讓學生運用描述動物的形容詞來描述所看到及所知道的動物的特征,同時也復(fù)習一般現(xiàn)在時表示主語具備的性格、特征的用法。

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.
Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.
The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.

Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角)left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
