一、教材分析
1、教材的地位和作用:
本课是初中牛津英语8B第七单元Water Talk课文的教学。这篇课文是一篇较长的阅读文章。初二的英语教学突出了阅读文章的教学,而长篇文章的阅读也恰是同学们学习的难点。如何处理好此篇阅读文章的教学,如何让学生对文章有整体的把握与理解以及对部分生词有初步的掌握,将是本课着重解决的问题。本课虽是阅读教学,但是在教学中,本课也有针对性地对学生的听, 说, 读, 写进行了一定的操练, 以便提高学生综合运用语言的能力。本课课文所涉及的内容为水的旅程,联系了生活实际,是学生较为熟知的话题;同时将水拟人化,增加了文章的趣味性。本堂课将着眼于课本,充分挖掘文章的知识性以及趣味性。
2、教学目标的确立
Teaching objectives:
1. Language objectives:
To learn the new words: precious, vanish, a sewage plant, a water treatment works, thorough, etc.
To get to know water’s journey.
2. Skill objectives:
To find out the information according to the given questions.
To improve the students’ skills in using some verbs to describe facts.
3. Emotional objectives:
To arouse the students’ awareness of the importance and necessity of saving
二、学情分析与学法指导:
学情分析:初中学生的形象思维能力较强,抽象思维能力较弱,上课注意力容易分散。初二的学生已具备一定的英语基础,好奇心强,求知欲旺盛,已不满足教师对课文的简单重复,因而在注重启发引导,培养学生分析、概括能力的同时,本课将采用灵活多样的教学方法,并配以趣味图片及动漫,从而增强学生的兴趣和注意力。
学法指导:1、在课前设定阅读任务, 让学生带着任务进行阅读, 增强阅读的目的,对文本有一个整体把握2 、在教学中, 指导学生掌握阅读的步骤和方法,加强泛读与精读的训练。3、在教学中, 注意启发和引导学生质疑问题。4、在教学中, 指导和训练学生掌握阅读的基本技巧, 比如教给学生圈点、划线﹑改写等方法。
三、教学设计与步骤
课堂的设计遵循了课文整体教学的思路,结合听、说、读、写训练,加强了同学们对文本的理解以及对重要语言知识点的掌握,最终达到提升学生综合运用语言的能力。
