Today, I’ll say something about Unit 9 Part A in Book 4 of Oxford English.
Background on the reformation of curriculum, this book can connect the life and act, emphasize the interest and experience of the Ss, the pictures are active and vivid. Grade four is the initial stage of English learning, so it stresses on the emotion of the Ss, creates a well beginning for the Ss. This Unit has 7 parts, we’ll learn Part A mainly, it embodies the repeating characterize. Review the learned language points “Where’s…”and the new language points will be represented in the following units. So this unit forms connecting links with a special meaning in this book.
The content of this period is to use “Where’sare…” to determine the place. And according to the contents and the fact of the Ss, I establish the following three teaching aims of this period:
The first one: students can listen, read, say and spell the following words: a glass, a fridge, an egg, bread and a table.
The second one: students can listen, read, say and write the following daily expressions: What’s for breakfast?
Have some juice then.
The third one: students can listen, read, say and write the following sentence patterns: Where’sWhere are themy…
It’s They’re…
There’s no …in on ear…
I think the most difficult point of this period is to make sure the students can use the patterns “Where’sWhere are…and There is no …inon ear…” in their daily life correctly.
And I will use some pictures, words and sentence cards, a tape recorder and the multi-media computer to help me achieve the aims.
The task-based method, communicated method, group cooperate method will be used in this period.
To accomplish the aims, I design the following steps:
Step 1 Songs and the game arousers the emotion.
In order to attract the Ss’ attention and construct an atmosphere of learning English, I let the students sing some English songs and play the game “Simon says”. At the same time the game can review the prep, serve the knowledge as foil and consist the appearance of the knowledge.
Step 2 Change class to life, happy to say.
The substance of language is communication and the environment of communication is life. So when I present the sentence pattern “What’s for breakfast?” I first show a clock to elicit the time for breakfast, teach the sentence. Then show my own photo of having breakfast, Ss ask and guess. In this way I can attract Ss’ attention, encourage Ss to ask Qs with the new knowledge.
Most of the Ss have learnt the sentence pattern: Where’s…? so I design a task for Ss to help Helen find the food and drinks for breakfast, and teach the new language points: Where are…? They’re … Meanwhile stick the sentences on the Bb.
After some practice by asking and answering, I present the next language points:
There’s no …inon ear…
Have …then.
And I will stick these sentence patterns on the Bb. Finally I’ll let the Ss do pair works to consolidate them.
Step 3 Listen to the tape and Ss imitate to read and say.
As the new reformation of curriculum, emphasized the traditional class attach importance to the mechanical teaching, neglect the experience and participation, for example, the five-step method. So in this lesson, after presentation, I ask Ss to listen to the tape with three Qs, read in different roles and in pairs, then try to recite the text.
Step 4 Ss be the main body, T makes a guider.
In class, Ss play as a host, and the T makes an influence on guiding, help Ss to act the learnt dialogue, it can stress the position of the Ss, and arouse their interest.
Then I show a carton with no voice, ask Ss to make a dialogue in pairs.
There are lots of ways to consolidate the new knowledge. Playing game is a good way. So according to the physiology of Ss, I hold a group competition during the game, ask Ss to finish the blanks. In this way can develop Ss’ good habits and achieve the aim of mastering the learned knowledge in situation.
Step 5 Change class to life, learn by themselves.
Is this the end of the class? I don’t think so. If there is an end, I think it should be in the life. So I extend this class, encourage Ss to use the learned to communicate with each other in their life.
In a word, the whole period is based on tasks, which are designed from easy steps to steps that are challenging. When the Ss are carting out the tasks, they can acquire information, knowledge, and have their ability and skills trained.
1)展示"秀作的生日"图片,创设情境,根据图片上的日历由旧知识引出新知识从而学习并练习"When is it ? It’s on October 20th "在练习环节中采取小组合作学习和任务情境教学法。练习初为学生设定目标通过小组合作练习句型并通过Flash"幸运大抽奖"来汇报各小组的学习情况。在这个阶段主要是针对重难点,有步骤、有目标地引导学生进行小组合作学习和小组之间的对抗。小组合作学习有利于提高学生综合运用英语的能力,养成大胆开口的习惯,有利于学生间的互帮互学、相互启发,有利于学生思维的发展。小组之间的竞争有利于培养学生的集体意识,激发学生英语学习的兴趣和渴望度。
2)师生交流创设情境使学生学习生日邀请语句
创设情境,教师拿出invitation,邀请学生参加自己的生日party,通过教师的引导让学生试着模仿老师邀请同学,要求语气诚恳。I’d like to invite you to my birthday party.Will you come to my birthday party? Sure ,I’d love to.练习环节1.布置任务,小组合作练习这句话,比一比哪组说的更流畅,哪组的语气更真诚。六年级的学生集体荣誉感增强,小组的对抗恰恰能够激发学生为了维护本组的荣誉而要努力练习英语的积极性。同时照顾了班内一部分英语基础差的学生使他们在小组学习中张口说话,达到英语交际的目的。2.角色扮演。通过多媒体课件,教师展现三幅"邀请"画面:喜洋洋与灰太狼,大雄与康夫,米老鼠与唐老鸭。学生自主选择情景进行对话练习。多媒体为学生呈现了他们喜闻乐见的卡通人物,拉近了课堂与学生日常生活的距离,多媒体使角色扮演更加生动化,在仿真的情境下学生更易展现自我。
三。课文
1.采用提问设疑式的方法引出课文。在观看课文Flash前,教师设置几个问题有小组商量后请代表回答。"Whose birthday is it? When is her birthday? What day is it on?
上课之前,黑板上是一块由教师画的简笔画"蛋糕"和"蜡烛"通过让学生吃蛋糕的方法,将蛋糕分成四块分别是"What day is it on? It’s on Thursday""When is it? It’s on October 20th."四句话以及"蜡烛""Will you come to my party? Sure, I’d love to. "
