教學反思
我以新課程理念為依據(jù)進行教學設計和課堂活動。 本課我通過一首宋祖英《愛我中華》的歌曲和美麗的家鄉(xiāng)圖片,很自然的將學生引入本課“家鄉(xiāng)”話題的學習氛圍中,同時培養(yǎng)學生愛祖國愛家鄉(xiāng)的思想感情。由于本課是閱讀課,重在培養(yǎng)學生的閱讀能力、邏輯思維能力、發(fā)現(xiàn)細節(jié)信息理解文章的能力。因此,我在本課教學中以情景教學、活動教學為主,充分利用現(xiàn)代化的電教手段創(chuàng)設情景,提高學生語言運用能力。在單詞部分,主要通過圖片和地圖形象、直觀地向?qū)W生介紹,通過問答法,讓學生掌握新詞并反復運用所學方位詞,為下一步課文理解及語言表達做好鋪墊。
對閱讀材料的處理上,我先讓學生聽再根據(jù)所獲得的信息判斷句子正誤,訓練學生的聽力能力和思維能力。讓學生帶著問題閱讀,兩人一組進行問和答活動,培養(yǎng)學生合作意識,幫助學生形成良好的學習策略,要求學生根據(jù)所給信息復述課文,更是培養(yǎng)學生注重閱讀細節(jié)的能力,同時也為日后的寫作奠定一定基礎。讓學生當導游介紹自己的家鄉(xiāng),激發(fā)學生表達的欲望,更是激發(fā)學習英語的興趣。我的每一環(huán)節(jié)任務的設計都為學生提供了很好的學以致用的機會,廣闊自由的發(fā)揮空間。教學中大量的語言實踐活動,使學生在教師的指導下,通過感知、體驗、實踐、參與和合作等活動方式,實現(xiàn)任務的目標,并感受成功,獲得自主的發(fā)展。
