1、牛津初中英语8A Unit 5 BirdwatchersWelcome to the unit 教案设计一、 教学理念 1 课堂教学坚持以学生为中心,以任务性活动为主的教学原则(Learner-centered, task-based learning); 2创造使用英语的机会,“学以致用”,体现英语学习的交际性原则(Communicative-learning)。二、 教材分析 本课是第五单元的导入课,第五单元的教学主题是阐述人与自然的关系,以介绍珍稀鸟类及中国扎龙自然保护区为教学中心话题。笔者把教材中的词汇新授通过热身(Warming-up)、口语(Speaking)和听力(Listeni
2、ng)三部分内容整合为本单元第一课时的教学内容,并对课本提供的材料进行了适当的次序调整。三、学情分析动物是初中学生日常生活中的伙伴,也是一些同学的宠物。鸟类作为自然界的精灵,很受学生们的喜欢,对珍稀鸟类的学习能够唤起学生的知识储备,也较容易聚集学生学习的兴趣和动力,这些都有利于教学活动的开展。由于本课时要新授的词汇达到 19 个,这样对于基础较弱的学生来说很难在本课时完成对全部生词的识记,所以词汇处理上对不同基础的同学也有不同的层次要求。四、 教学目标A 知识目标 1 基础较好的学生能对新授词汇达到认读、拼写和正确运用的要求。基础较弱的学生力求达到认读、了解的要求。 2通过对 Comic st
3、rip的学习,初步了解运用一般现在时讨论将来的事。B 技能目标 1 能运用所学的词汇来描述各种鸟类的外形特征。 2 能正确运用不同句型来表达自己对鸟类的喜好及原因。C 情感目标通过对自然界鸟类的了解来关注人与自然的关系,养成正确对待自然界生灵的生活态度。 D 教学重点与难点 1有关鸟类外形特征词汇的学习与掌握。 2 怎样描述不同的鸟类外形特征。五、教学方法与教具教学方法:任务任教学(Task-based Approach) 交际法(Communicative Approach) 教 具:多媒体课堂教学六、 教学过程Step 1. Warming up(热身) (1). Listen and s
4、ing the song “I believe I can fly”. (2). Greeting each other. 设计说明 通过欢快而富有感染力的歌曲和对学生的问候,可以快速稳定学生的情绪,引导他们进入学习英语的氛围和状态。板书歌名在黑板上,激励之余也让学生感悟本课学习内容与“fly”有关。Step 2. Lead-in(导入) Task 1: T:We have learned something about the giant panda called “Xi Wang” in Unit 4. Now, can you describe the two lovely giant
5、pandas called “团团”and “圆圆” (展示多媒体课件熊猫图片一) 设计说明 本节课的教学技能目标是让学生学会用所学的知识来描述对象。从对学生们所熟知的赠台大熊猫“团团”和“圆圆”的描述上,让学生理解和掌握描述动物应从以下几点进行:Appearance, Ability, Character, Food, Danger。本任务的设计是为后面运用语言来描述珍稀鸟类作好铺垫。Step 3. Presentation(呈现) T: We have learned many kinds of animals on land. For example: wolf, fox, panda
6、and so on. Are there any animals that can fly in the sky? Ss: Birds. T: Good. There are many kinds of birds in the world. Do you know them? Lets enjoy some pictures. (展示多媒体课件鸟类图片二) Can you tell me what the names of the birds are? Can you describe them? Help them to describe the birds on the screen a
7、nd meanwhile teach the new words and phrases one by one: crane, seagull (long-winged, web-footed), sparrow, swallow (long pointed wings, forked tail), swan (thin), golden eagle (brownish, broad wings, hooked beak) 设计说明 这一环节是学生首次接触课本新授内容,以鸟类名称和外形特征词汇的学习为主。以多媒体课件鸟类图片的形式教学,形象具体,能从直观上让学生养成由总体感觉到细节描述。从学生
8、不同的认知角度出发,教学时要求基础弱的学生首先掌握好鸟类名称的拼读,基础较好的学生则要求基本掌握鸟类名称和外形特征词汇。为下一步教学活动的顺利开展做好准备。Step 4. Playing games(游戏) (1)课前学生需要制作好本课教学内容中的鸟类和其外形特征词汇卡片。在本节活动中指导学生分成鸟类词汇卡片和外形特征词汇卡片两大组,以快速准确集中同一方阵,归于同类的小组为得分依据,进行小组比赛游戏。(2)以学生个体完成教材 75 页 Part A 部分的选择图画为第二个比赛游戏,表扬奖励最先完成的同学。 设计说明 游戏和比赛永远是学生课堂上的最爱,在词汇新授之后不失时机地以游戏方式加强学生对
9、词汇表意和内容的记忆,是一种有效的教学尝试。也能更好的激起认知水平较差的学生学习热情。Step 5. Activities(活动) Task 2: Divide the students into groups of four. One of them describes the appearance and character of the birds. Let the others guess what the name of the bird is. Do it like this: S1: I am a tall bird. I have a long beak and long le
10、gs. My neck is quite long, too. S2: I guess you are a crane. S3: I guess Task 3: Do the word puzzle about the birds Tell the name of the birds. (展示多媒体课件猜测鸟类名称图片三) 设计说明 两个小任务的设计是为了加深和巩固学生对上一个教学环节学习内容的掌握。两种不同层次的学生都能从这两个任务中获得运用语言进行表达的机会。Step 6. Making a dialogue(对话) Task 4: Let students make and practi

What about you? S1: I like 设计说明 本对话是对教材中的内容进行了适当拓展,目的是为了培养和强化学生的语言实践能力和自我表达能力,同时又在对话中进一步巩固对所学词汇的理解和运用。设计的第四个任务是
12、学生最有可能出现教师预设不了的对话内容,要求原则上不离题即可。Stpe 7. Listening(听力) T: Our friend Eddie is going birdwatching tomorrow. Do you know where he is going to watch birds? Listen to Hobo and Eddies conversation and find out the answer to the question : Does Eddie like real birds? (No, he doesnt.) (1): Play the tape for

(2): Play the tape again for them to repeat and explain the main sentence “I am going birdwatching at the market.” (3): Let students practice the conversation in pairs. Task 5: (4): Ask some pairs to act it out in front of the class. 设计说明 教
14、学环节应该有紧有松。Comic strip 的内容放在这一步处理原因有二:学生通过前面几个由浅入深、层层递进的环节学习,在基本掌握了本节课的知识目标后,学习的劲头和注意力已经有所下降,这时由学生自己的对话转入到 Hobo 和 Eddie 的趣味对话可以产生调节的作用,而更为重要的是听力的提高依赖于平时点滴的训练。另外对话中的重点句子包含有下节课时的学习要点,学生通过听、读、操练和教师的适当点拔能对语言知识加深印象,为下一课时的学习起到了承上启下的作用。Step 8. Interview(采访) Task 6: T: Many people like going birdwatching. We
15、 call them birdwatchers. Suppose one of you is the birdwatcher. The other students are reporters and they want to know more about birds. Please think out as many questions as possible to ask the birdwatcher. One star for one good question. For example: Is it interesting to go birdwatching? Can you t
16、ell me more about the seagull? Are birds our friends? What can we do to protect the birds? 设计说明 最后的采访设计再现了本课所提出的全部教学目标,加深了学生对 Go birdwatching 这一主题的印象。通过这一活动的完成,学生在溶入本单元学习主题的前提下,培养了自己思考问题和创新思维能力,展示了个人的观点和才能。也体现了语言为生活服务以及语言交际性的主旨。Step 9.Develop(拓展) T:I like all of them .The world are so beautiful beca

Write an article about one of your favourite birds. 设计说明 布置写作作业旨在把本节课的听说训练落实到写,使学生的综合语言运用能力得到锻炼和提高。 总之, 这节课设计在音乐声中开始,在采访中结束,学生的语言习得过程应是心情愉悦,情绪高涨。整体设计着重体现“学以致用”和快乐中学习英语的理念,展现英语课的多姿多彩!板
