Using LanguageⅠ课时教学实录

课题：Module 2 Unit 1 Using Language A Fact or An Opinion

课型：Reading & Writing

提供者：张婉芳

一、教学内容分析

这个单元的话题是cultural relics，第一篇课文讲述了俄国琥珀屋的历史，using language部分是关于fact and opinion，原本的课型是reading & listening，但考虑到fact和opinion更常用在阅读和写作中，而且这两个概念一直是学生容易混淆的，学生写的议论文中的论据大部分都是opinion而不是fact，导致文章的说服力不足。因此我把教学内容进行重组，把using language部分改成一节reading & writing课型，让学生了解fact和opinion的区别，并且在写作中有意识地采用fact作为自己的论据，增强文章的说服力，培养学生的理性思维和批判意识。

二、教学目标

知识目标：1. 了解fact和opinion的区别。

2. 在写作中学会用fact支撑opinion。

能力目标：培养学生的理性思维和批判意识。

情感目标：增加学生对文化遗产的认识并学会保护历史文化遗产。

三、学习者特征分析

高一（3）班的学生是年级的平衡班。班上的同学大部分都积极活泼，上课的气氛一直比较好，3班的英语成绩也是年级平衡班中最好的一个，不过班上的同学英语成绩也是参差不齐，有一半的同学基础较差，一半的同学基础不错。但即使是基础好的同学，他们的写作也存在很多问题，语法错误频现，文章的逻辑不通顺，议论文说服力不足。这节课旨在培养学生的理性思维和批判意识。

四、教学策略选择与设计

reading部分采用的是skimming和scanning的方法，让学生掌握文章的信息并通过归纳法得出fact和opinion的区别。writing部分采用的是TBL（任务型教学法），学生以小组合作的形式通过头脑风暴法得出写作的论据，并把论据组织成一篇逻辑通顺，有说服力的文章。
