Unit 6 Life in the future(说课稿)
兴义八中 杨芳
各位老师好!今天我说课的内容是高二(上)第六单元的Integrating 部分“Greetings from the future”(来自未来的问候)。下面我从六方面谈谈对这一课时的设计与教学。
一、 教材简析
1. 该篇阅读材料是听力部分的延续,同时也为下一环节的写作部分提供了范文。因而除完成教学任务外,还应兼顾写作意识的形成培养,也即以读导写。
2. 本篇虽以信件这一文体形式呈现,但学生对此已颇为熟悉,故信的格式不必赘述。
3. 该篇层次分明,段落间无紧密联系。第一段描述了未来世界的e-friend(电子朋友;网友)。第二段则描述了virtual reality(虚拟现实)。故采用分段阅读的方式来呈现这一版块。
4. 该篇涉及的语言点与语法并不多,且考虑信的内容用声音展现出来会更加鲜活,故利用听的形式带出生词,短语,再作讲解,即以听带讲。
二、 教材目标
根据《新课程标准》关于总目标的具体描述,结合高二学生实际和教材内容,分语言知识、语言技能、学习策略、情感态度、四个方面制定相应教学目标。
1. 语言知识
理解、内化、运用如下生词及短语:virtual, absurd, old fashioned, lifelike, more than等。
2. 语言技能
听:捕捉特定信息、抓关键词,听懂信件内容。
说:能熟练掌握与话题相关的常用词汇与表达,同时使学生能就话题较好地完成一些开放性话题,以提高在真实语境中的英语交际能力。
读:获取相关信息,且进行skimming, scanning, careful reading, generalization等阅读微技能训练。
3. 学习策略
学生能在一定程度上形成自主学习、信息处理和英语思维的能力。
4. 情感态度
(1) 在有趣的话题激励下,诱导学生积极参与,充分调动他们学习的兴趣。
(2) 立足现在,联系过去,对未来展开联想,让学生感受社会的进步。
三、 教材重点、难点
本节课的教学重点是学生略读、扫读、归纳等阅读微技巧能力的培养。难点是激发学生的兴趣,培养学生的想象思维,和以读导写的能力培养。
四、 课时结构
读前10分钟,读时20~25分钟,听、讲解5~10分钟,写前准备(家庭作业)5分钟。
五、 教学方法
听说法、略读法、扫读法等,并辅以多媒体教学。
六、 教学流程
1. 读前活动
利用信封实物导入新课,吸引学生的注意力、增加趣味性、活跃课堂气氛。充分调动学生的积极性。为后续的阅读活动作好准备。
2. 读时活动
(1) 略读
使用幻灯片呈现问题,要求学生迅速从文中找到相应答案。
(2) 扫读
定位、理解事实细节是一个重要的阅读微技能,是进行归纳、推理、判断等高级阅读技能理解的基础。在学生通过略读了解了文章的大意和篇章结构之后,指导学生进行扫读来获取文章的细节信息,并在此基础上,归纳整理相关问题的答案。
3. 读后活动
由读而说、由读而想的读后活动是学生实现从语言输入转化为语言输出的必由途径。设置开放性问题让学生创造性地使用所学语言,提高了语言的综合运用能力。
4. 听讲结合
根据教材特点,在听的基础上简要讲解文中的语言点。
5. 写前准备
本文起到了激活与示范写作的作用,可要求学生模仿写一篇类似作文,留作家庭作业。
鉴于此,幻灯片设计流程如下:
读前活动(幻灯片1、2)-- 读时与读后活动(幻灯片3、4、5、6)(其中包括略读、扫读及开放性问题) -- 听讲结合(幻灯片7) -- 家庭作业(幻灯片8)
