說課內(nèi)容：

一、教材分析

二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)及重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)分析

三、教學(xué)對象

四、教學(xué)方法

五、教學(xué)過程

六、教學(xué)反思

一、教材分析：

本節(jié)課內(nèi)容選自語文出版社出版的由王立善、戴宗顯主編的中等職業(yè)教育課程改革國家規(guī)劃新教材------《英語》（基礎(chǔ)模塊）下冊第三單元的Reading 部分，講授內(nèi)容是學(xué)習(xí)英語。

本教材緊密結(jié)合中職學(xué)校教學(xué)實(shí)際與學(xué)生實(shí)際，選材話題與生活貼近，比如上網(wǎng)、吸煙、污染等話題，富有時(shí)代氣息；在每一單元的教學(xué)內(nèi)容上，包括Reading、Listening、Speaking、Writing and structures幾個(gè)模塊，滿足了中職學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)需求，兼顧不同基礎(chǔ)水平學(xué)生的提高，培養(yǎng)了學(xué)生綜合語言運(yùn)用能力。在課堂教學(xué)中逐步培養(yǎng)這一能力。

二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)及重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)分析：

1）知識目標(biāo)

掌握常用的詞、短語、句型，并能夠靈活應(yīng)用：discount/ admire/ recommend commodity to sb./ foreign/ customer/ fluent/ keep on doing/put sth.into practice/ with confidence/ set a good example to sb./ try one’s best to do / think over/the more…the more… 2)情感目標(biāo)

激發(fā)學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣，增強(qiáng)學(xué)習(xí)英語的信心； 培養(yǎng)了同學(xué)小組合作的意識。3)能力目標(biāo)

培養(yǎng)學(xué)生綜合語言運(yùn)用能力方面的聽、說和理解的能力； 提高學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)能力。4）教學(xué)重點(diǎn)及難點(diǎn)：

根據(jù)本節(jié)課的教學(xué)目標(biāo)，確定： 教學(xué)重點(diǎn)：詞匯、短語及句型的用法。

教學(xué)難點(diǎn)：流利的朗讀課文及理解大意，能將學(xué)到的英語學(xué)習(xí)方法學(xué)以致用。

三、教學(xué)對象分析：

學(xué)生是教學(xué)活動的主體，正確的進(jìn)行教學(xué)對象的分析是達(dá)到教學(xué)目的的重要保證。本次授課的對象是11-7班的電子技術(shù)專業(yè)的學(xué)生。他們中的大多英語基礎(chǔ)相對薄弱，對英語學(xué)習(xí)失去興趣和信心，不過還有4~5個(gè)女同學(xué)基礎(chǔ)相對較好，學(xué)習(xí)興趣濃厚，課堂表現(xiàn)活躍。但是總體上他們青春活波，思維敏捷，敢想敢說，對感興趣的東西樂此不疲。（舉例說明）

針對這些特點(diǎn)來采用合適的教學(xué)方法，從而培養(yǎng)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣及自信心。

四、教學(xué)方法分析：

情景教學(xué)法：在教學(xué)過程中，教師有目的的引入真實(shí)性或準(zhǔn)真實(shí)性的情境來供學(xué)習(xí)使用，達(dá)到教學(xué)效果的一種教學(xué)方法。在課程導(dǎo)入時(shí)，以真實(shí)的視頻影像來鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語，樹立他們的自信心。從而引發(fā)學(xué)生對學(xué)好英語的學(xué)習(xí)方法的需求，進(jìn)而鼓勵(lì)同學(xué)用上節(jié)課所學(xué)的句型來表達(dá)自己想到的學(xué)習(xí)英語的方法。

任務(wù)教學(xué)法：是盛行于英語教學(xué)界的一種方法。任務(wù)型教學(xué)法以任務(wù)組織教學(xué)，在任務(wù)的履行過程中，以參與、體驗(yàn)、互 動、交流、合作的學(xué)習(xí)方式，充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生的認(rèn)知能力，調(diào)動他們已有的資源，在實(shí)踐中感知、認(rèn)識、應(yīng)用目的語，在“用”中學(xué)。在本課的重點(diǎn)詞匯及短語的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)，充分使用了此方法。還有一個(gè)好處就是使課堂教學(xué)重點(diǎn)突出。

分組討論合作教學(xué)法：學(xué)生是認(rèn)知的主體，現(xiàn)代教育觀念的核心在于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的主體意識 和參與意識。本班學(xué)生的英語水平參差不齊，甚至“兩極分化”，劃分的每組均有學(xué)習(xí)好和壞的學(xué)生。通過分組討論合作的教學(xué)方法，使學(xué)生通過同伴教學(xué)完成學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)，解決實(shí)際問題，達(dá)到共同提高的目的。同時(shí)，教師參與各組學(xué)生的討論，及時(shí)給予指導(dǎo)和幫助，適時(shí)而準(zhǔn)確地對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)活動和學(xué)習(xí)效果予以評估。

五、教學(xué)過程分析：

Step1.Warming up:(15min)

利用幻燈片播放明星講英語的視頻，激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣，以輕松愉快的氛圍開始本節(jié)課的教學(xué)。使同學(xué)認(rèn)識到學(xué)好英語是很重要的一件事。緊接著再播放身邊的同學(xué)用英語進(jìn)行對話的視頻，用身邊的實(shí)例來鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語。然后引發(fā)同學(xué)對英語學(xué)習(xí)方法的思考（what shall I do to learn English?），要求同學(xué)盡量用上節(jié)所學(xué)的句型來表達(dá)(It is necessary/ impotrant to read English books and newspapers.)自己認(rèn)為好的學(xué)習(xí)方法。在引發(fā)學(xué)生思考學(xué)習(xí)英語的方法時(shí)，也以多媒體圖片的方式給予必要的提示。

Step2.Before reading:(30min)

欲學(xué)某個(gè)單詞之前，利用多媒體給出相應(yīng)的圖片，引入情景，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生表達(dá)相應(yīng)的意思，并盡量用英語說出。然后給出表達(dá)句，引出欲學(xué)單詞，然后學(xué)習(xí)并體會其用法，最后識記掌握該單詞。在識記掌握過程中，以反復(fù)練讀為主。Step3.While reading（30min）

在識記本課單詞基礎(chǔ)上，聽課文錄音，根據(jù)課文回答問題。為保證所有同學(xué)能理解課文大意，對所提問題進(jìn)行分組討論，然后請同學(xué)作答，最終使所有同學(xué)了解到學(xué)習(xí)英語的方法。概括總結(jié)： Reading：

The more you read ,the more you learn.The more words and idioms you know, the easier English becomes.Speaking：

You should listen as much as possible, and say what you want to say.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.Writing：

You should read more and do more writing practice with model sentences and useful expressions.為勉勵(lì)自己堅(jiān)持做到以上幾方面，學(xué)習(xí)理解相關(guān)的兩句諺語where there is a will, there is a way.和No pains ,no gains.(解決本課的教學(xué)難點(diǎn))。Step4.Summarize briefly（13min）

為鞏固本節(jié)課所學(xué)的重點(diǎn)，總結(jié)歸納相關(guān)詞匯的運(yùn)用練習(xí)。分別請學(xué)生選擇合適的詞完成下列句子。

Step5：homework：（2min）作業(yè)布臵：

作業(yè)的布臵分兩部分：一是要求所有同學(xué)完成本節(jié)課的重點(diǎn)詞匯及短語的運(yùn)用，完成后要求課代表將作業(yè)上交；二是拓展延伸，要求同學(xué)根據(jù)課堂上所了解的學(xué)習(xí)英語的方法，課后與同學(xué)討論適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法，并將其組織成一篇小短文，下次上課請同學(xué)展示給大家。第二個(gè)作業(yè)也是對本課難點(diǎn)的把握。

六、教學(xué)反思

通過學(xué)生所崇拜的明星講英語的情景激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣，通過身邊熟悉的同學(xué)講英語鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語，從而引起學(xué)生對學(xué)英語的方法的思考。充分采用了情境教學(xué)方法，提高教學(xué)效果。

對本課單詞的學(xué)習(xí)，通過創(chuàng)設(shè)畫面，引入情景，表達(dá)圖意，猜出新詞，從而識記掌握該 詞的這樣一個(gè)漸進(jìn)過程，達(dá)到對重點(diǎn)知識的學(xué)習(xí)掌握。本部分充分采用情景教學(xué)法與任務(wù)教學(xué)法。

通過小組討論的方式，了解學(xué)習(xí)英語的好方法，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生英語方面聽說讀的能力。同時(shí)，也加強(qiáng)學(xué)生小組合作方面的意識。

即使改變了傳統(tǒng)的教學(xué)方法, 仍有幾名學(xué)生對本門課程不感興趣，有很強(qiáng)的厭學(xué)心理。

第五篇：高級英語5 教案 unit3

Unit 3

Text I:

My Friend, Albert Einstein

Banesh Hoffmann

I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:

What do you know about Einstein? What was he like? How do you think Hoffmann describes Einstein as his friend?

* Hoffmann takes a different perspective.He tries to reveal some of the less well-known aspects of Einstein’s personality, traits that characterize him more as a man than as a scientific genius.Note: * Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

1756-1791, Austrian composer, one of the world’s greatest musical geniuses.? Ludwig van Beethoven:

1770-1827, German composer, was one of music’s greatest geniuses.? The Nobel Prize:

Alfred Bernhard Nobel(1838-1896), a distinguished Swedish chemist and industrialist, provided for the award of Nobel

Prize in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, regardless of nationality.? The Nazis:

Nazism is a political doctrine of racial supremacy, nationalism, and dictatorship.Nazi is an abbreviation of German word for National Socialism.I)Comprehension:

1)Main Idea:

This profile(short, vivid biography, briefly outlining a person’s most outstanding characteristics: his ability, personality, or career)is mainly about Einstein’s personality and his incomparable contributions to science.2)Purpose of writing and Tone:

The purpose is to illustrate with anecdotes some characteristic features of Einstein both as a man and as a scientist.3)Organization and Development: Introduction(P1):

Using the word “simplicity” to begin the illustration of Einstein’s essence

Body(P2-19):

P2-4: About his modesty;P5-7: Einstein’s brief life history and his two great theories;

P8-11: About his concentration on work;P12-13: About his love of natural simplicity;P14-16: About his academic courage;P17-18: About his sense of justice;P19: About his youthful innocence;Conclusion:(P20)

Summing up what it means to have known Einstein and his work.4)Comprehension Questions:

1.Which phrase in the first paragraph explains the abstract notion of “simplicity”?---“going instinctively to the heart of a matter” 2.From the two anecdotes related in para.2-4, what impression of Einstein have you got?---He was a very modest person, never thinking himself any superior to or more authoritative than others because of his fame and achievements as a great scientist of the time.3.What, according to the author, is Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist?---Concentration.Refer to the first sentence of para.9.4.Why did Einstein insist on working hard when he was so badly shaken by his wife’s death?---Working hard requires concentration, which would help him to dispel the feeling of sorrow.5.How do you interpret the sentence in para.11: “To help him, I steered the discussion away from routine matters into more difficult theoretical problems”?---Tackling more difficult theoretical problems requires greater concentration and absorption.This would help him temporarily forget the sadness caused by his wife's death.6.What revelation is made through Einstein’ comment on Beethoven and Mozart’ works?---As a simple man, Einstein takes it that beauty exists in the Universe.Such beauty is natural, pure, and simple.Beauty found is even greater and more admirable than beauty created.7.How did Einstein feel about the destructive effect produced as a result of the application of his E=mc2 formula?---This is something he had not expected.He was greatly dismayed by the devastating effect his formula produced once it was put into application.8.Do you think the anecdote related in para.19 aims to illustrate Einstein’s “whimsicality”?
