教学反思

从教学目标来看，重难点突出，讲解

归纳也很到位，教学目标顺利完成。从教

学过程来看，教师的导与学生的学配合完

美

，过程流畅，体现了教学中

的情感价值观；在教学方法上，以学生讨论，合作探究为主，形式多样，是一种导学案

下的生本教学模式，体现了新课改。但经过反思之后还是发现了很多问题：教师应该通过真实材料和情景，帮助学生挖掘语法和功能之间的联系，培养学生对情景等语境因素的洞察力，调动学生语言学习的积极性。能够引导学生准确把握非状语从句的使用。根据该语法规律解决实际问题。在运用语言的过程中培养

学生的观察力、分析力、想象力和自学能力，帮助学生加强记忆力，提高思维能力和运用英语的综合能力，激发创造能力。
