教材：人教版《英语1[必修模块]Senior High English》适用年段：高一上学期

设计者：莆田擢英中学

一、

教学对象分析

本校是莆田市地区的一所私立学校，学校生源中等，学生使平行班。鉴于学生刚进入高中，英语语言学习的习惯还比较薄弱，英语能力尤其是在词汇积累、阅读数量和书面输出上与未来的考试要求有较大的差距。鉴于此，从一开始的教学中，尝试贯彻《普通高中英语课程标准（实验）》“建立新的外语教育教学理念……建立多元、开放的英语课程评价……”的精神，采用活动教学法实施课堂教学，关注学生语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素养的培养。

二、

教材内容分析

本课是人教版高一英语模块一第2单元的语言学习课，本单元的中心话题是“English around the world”，通过对这一话题的探讨强化学生对英语语言的了解，对当代语言特别是英语发展趋势的了解。在Warming Up和Reading 部分，完成文章篇章理解、阅读技能训练、英美英语差异的教学。Discovering useful words and expressions，旨在通过练习帮助学生巩固本单元的新词汇，即Learn by doing。教材设计中共有4道题目，素材比较丰富，但主要都是围绕单个单词或短语的运用为主，对于学生而言，缺乏一定的趣味性和语言输出上的拓展性；练习4的出题模式对学生的语言锻炼意义不大。鉴于此，删除练习4，在前3个练习的基础上，适当补充教学内容，增加教学形式，反复滚动词汇的出现，增加词汇的复现和运用，加大学生的词汇输出。

三、

教学目标

教学过程

Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (3 mins) (1)

提问和PPT导入

老师设计一些小问题来询问学生，展示虚拟的“姚明与易建联探讨英语学习”的PPT，了解学生对英语学习基本情况的熟悉程度和学好英语的决心。

T: Hello, class. We’ve already learnt the text “The Road to Modern English”. I’d like to ask some questions to see how much you know about English. Q1. Which language may have the largest number of speakers? Q2. Which country may have the largest number of English learners? T: Although more and more Chinese are on the road of learning English, it is not easy for us to use it as well as native speakers. Let’s enjoy a short play by Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Q3. Do you think Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian correctly use English? Q4. I If you were them, what would you do? (2)

揭题

T: Improper English will definitely weaken our attempt to communicate with the rest of the world, especially when you go abroad. In the next part, we’ll focus on ‘discovering useful words and expressions’, which will help you to master the use of proper English.

Pay attention. All of these activities will be done through group cooperation and competition. All of your answers and efforts will contribute to the final points of your group. I can’t wait and see who the winners are today. Let’s go.

【意图说明】根据书上的练习三，结合耳熟能详的寓言故事，创设了本题第二篇练习。采用诗歌的形式，让学生们在练习词汇语言中，感受诗歌的韵律之美。各小组学生抽签选择1）或2)的题目，在规定时间内完成。做不同题目的小组相互交换答案后，按照屏幕上给定答案打分。注意提醒学生动词短语在句中的时态人称等的考虑，同时简单提醒同学诗歌的韵律、寓意。最后全班朗读欣赏。）

Step 4 Writing Competition (12 mins) In the time given, students are required to write a short passage with their group partners, using as many new expressions as possible. Make sure the passage is logically organized and each sentence is grammatically correct. Each group will be charged according to the number of new expressions they use in their writing. Invite one group to present their version in class and briefly evaluate it. 【意图说明】该部分是前期词汇短语学习后的有机延生和重点呈现。前期中，通过合作学习和小组竞赛，采用闪词记忆、词义搭配、填字游戏、单句填空、语境填词、短语闪现、短语选择填空、诗歌赏析等多种形式，强调的是词汇学习中的输入和复现运用。该部分的写作大赛，鼓励学生团队协作、发散性思维，尽量使用新学词汇来谋篇布局，重点在于语言的输出。对学生所犯错误，给学生一定的时间自我纠正，老师也可适时纠正，清除其错误印象，但切记喧宾夺主，妨碍学生的词汇运用。纵观整个教学设置，体现了读音→词形→词义→单句→篇章→自己创作这样一个由浅入深、由此及彼、不断复现、联系语境的过程，针对学生心理特点、遵循人类记忆规律，有助于学生形成词汇学习策略。

Step 5 Consolidation (1 min) Add up the points each group gets. The highest one is the winner which will be titled as “High Achieving English Scholar” and awarded a funny play given by two

other students. The play script is as the following. A: I am a Chinese student of senior one. While I walked around in the street one day, I stepped on a foreigner’s toe by accident.

A: I am sorry. B: I am sorry, too. A: I am sorry three. B: What are you sorry for? A: I am sorry five. 【意图说明】本节课的开展，学生活动、合作和竞赛贯穿始终。在课程的结束之时，及时计算公布各阶段得分，并对“High Achieving English Scholar”进行评选，这是对学生学习的有效评价，也是目前阶段学生非常感兴趣和在乎的。用一个小品表演作为对获胜者的奖励，释放学生课堂学习的紧张气息，构建宽松的学习氛围，形成对英语学习的良好感情反馈。

Step 6 Assignment (1 min) Review the new words and phrases learnt in this lesson. Continue to finish and polish the writing written in class. Or you can start your own new version. 【意图说明】本次词汇学习，最终要求学生要落实到作文上。课堂上的团队练习固然有助于学生取长补短，但语言学习更多地是个体的活动和内化的过程。故作业布置上承接课堂所学，但要求学生独立完成。这也给学生提供了更广泛的发挥空间和想象空间。

五、

教学反思

本次课的设计，符合学生认知事物循序渐进的特点。采用的竞赛和团队合作的方式，也符合该阶段学生的心理特点和社会发展对人才培养的要求。故在该课结束后，学生普遍感到很有收获，他们的进步也在作文中得到了体现。但在开展这一类的活动课型中，老师一定要在前期教学中落实对学生分组合作等的准备操练工作。如果暂时开展不够顺利，也务必要在平时的教育教学中加以渗透和坚持。其次，在开展小组合作和小组竞赛时，老师要关注学生的表情和反应，对学生取得的的成就及时用肢体、表情来反馈，还可通过课件上的掌声、鲜花、语言表扬等来体现。第三，对学生所犯错误，老师应当给学生一定的时间自我纠正。老师

的纠正要适可而止，切记喧宾夺主，或打击学生的学习热情和自尊。此外，根据学生情况，课程的含量可以适当调节，一些题目可根据进度适当删节，但不能违背循序渐进的原则和犯只重输入轻视输出的错误。
