Section A 2d—3c特级教师教学实录

CSC TESOL Microteaching: Lesson plan

Name: Robert 李春林 Grade 8

What activities / techniques did you choose? Why? What are the aims of these activities? 1.I chose to teach speaking and grammar part by using the Disappearing Test and the Grass Skirt activities, because both teachers and students in China like speaking classes, and grammar classes are always boring for Chinese students, but this time I attempt to try some interesting ways to teach Speaking and Grammar. 2.I also chose to do a survey among the students on the shows they are interested in to open the topic and stimulate them to think and speak actively.

Which book / unit is the lesson related to? I choose to teach Go For It! Grade 8, Book 1, Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show? Section A 2d-3c .

Lesson aims: 1.To do a survey to make the students speak actively on shows they like.

2.To teach speaking and grammar associated with Disappearing Text in 2d and Grass Skirt in Grammar Focus. Disappearing Text is to help students speak fluently. Grass Skirt is to help students correct the sentences and have deeper impression. 3.To develop students’ abilities of self checking, peer checking and correcting mistakes both in Grammar and spelling.

How does this lesson fit in with the rest of your unit? What do you do in the previous lesson? What will happen in the next lesson? I intend to teach speaking and grammar part of Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show?. This lesson is the second part in this unit. It will summarize both in knowledge and abilities of using the target languages: Do you want to watch a game show? Yes, I do./ No, I don’t.

Before this, students have learned most of the vocabulary which relates to make a survey and answer the questions about shows. This lesson, we mainly teach speaking and grammar part “2d-3c.”

After this lesson, I will turn to teach a new part in this unit. Students can use the target patterns to help them express the ideas correctly. They can communicate with their friends freely and politely. What are your personal aims in this class?

These are not aims for student achievement, but for your achievement; for example, improve instruction giving in English, try a new drilling technique etc.
