高一英语课堂教学设计
（高中英语模块1 Unit2 English around the world第一课时教学设计）

一、课程分析
“English around the world”这一课我根据新课标教学理念，对课文内容进行拓展与补充，采用“任务型”教学模式，进行了探索。本课的中心话题是“English around the world”。English around the world是语言交际手段中非常重要的一个方面，它通过无声的语言表达一个人的内心世界。了解English around the world的不同文化内涵并正确的加以运用，经常会在交际场合起到意想不到的效果。我在教授本课时，提醒、引导学生注意自己和他人在日常交际中的体态、姿势、面部表情等等，使学生正确理解和运用English around the world。
二、学情分析
高一（4）班虽然为英语实验班，但学生们层次差异大，一部分学生英语基础较差，但是大部分学生的思维活动、学习热情、表现欲望和合作精神在平时的教学中表现很好。同时，他们基本具备一定的电脑操作知识和网上搜索和查阅知识的能力。（我指导、鼓励学生课前、课后利用网络资源或图书馆查找有关资料对English around the world进行了解，使师生、生生实现资源共享。）根据这些特点，我采用与新课标要求相一致的新的教学方式，即活动式的教学法，调动全班学生的积极性，在师生互动、生生互动中实现教学任务和目标。
三、学习目标
1、 了解文化差异和English around the world的变化；2、 培养学生掌握一定的阅读技巧 ，学习使用有关预测、猜测的技巧；3、培养学生用英语表达English around the world，达到用英语交流、培养实际运用英语能力的目的。
四、设计理念
1、“English around the world ”一课是尝试英语新课标理念下的合作学习、自主探究。
《英语新课程标准》明确指出高中英语教学要“侧重提高阅读能力，特别注重开发和利用课程资源，创造机会，使学生积极、主动的用英语去思维，去交流。”在高中英语教学中，阅读课占的课时最多，但效果并不是很好。本学期我进行了合作学习与自主探究新课程理念的探索，教材处理从学生的学习兴趣和认知水平出发，倡导学生体验参与、合作与交流的学习方式和“任务型”的教学模式，由学生共同努力来实现教学目标。引导学生利用所学语言来完成任务，培养学生用英语来思维、交流，真正地体现了“学中用，做中学”的原则。
2、我指导、鼓励学生课前利用网络资源或图书馆查找有关资料对English around the world有初步的了解，使师生实现资源共享。培养学生搜集和处理信息的能力，获取新知识的能力、分析和解决问题的能力以及合作与交流的能力，拓展学生学习的渠道。课上指导学生将信息技术与英语学习相整合。
五．具体教学设计
本节课采用了“自主，互动，探究”的教学方式，辅助以多媒体，达到较好的教学效果。
Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading
(THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH)
Procedures1. Warming up by answering a questionnaire
1). Tell the students they are going to answer a questionnaire about why they are learning English.
2). Write the words: Reasons for learning a foreign language on the center of the board:
3). Ask the students to suggest as many reasons as they can think of, for example, for work, as a hobby, to learn about other people, to travel, to read literature in the original, to read research papers, to meet foreigners, to surf the Internet, to pass exams, etc. Write their suggestions on the board as they make them.
4). Divide the class into pairs.
5). Give out each student one questionnaire paper.
6). Explain the task. The students must question each other about their language learning needs (or motivations). Tell them that you are going to take in the questionnaires at the end, and that you’d like them to make clear notes. It works better if the two partners swap tasks (questions and answers) after each section of the questionnaire. If they wait till the end to swap, one student may use up all the time available.
7). When the task is finished, ask a couple of students to summarize their partners’ answers. (This may develop into a class discussion about language needs).
8). The students write five sentences on their feeling about learning English.
9). Collect the questionnaires.
2. Further applying
To get the students thinking about the topic of the reading passage.
1). Have a student list on the board all the English-speaking countries in the world that they can think of.
2). Give the students hints about the places they haven’t mentioned.
3). Provide the students with an opportunity to think about the reasons for the spread of English around the world.
★ English is one of the official languages of the Olympic Games and the United Nations.
★ English dominates international websites and provides nearly all of the new computer terminology.
★ Tourism and trade from Western Europe and North America has contributed to the spread of English.
★ Satellite TV, radio programs like Joy FM, CDs and, of course, Hollywood films all broadcast English into China. Also, a number of Chinese films include English subtitles.
II. Reading
1. Skimming
Read quickly to get the main idea of the text.
Let the students find out key sentence of each paragraph or ask them to summarize the main point for each paragraph in their own words.
2. Scanning
Read to locate particular information and complete the comprehending Exercise One.
3. Following up
Work in groups. Discuss the two questions and then ask two groups to report their answers to the class.
1). Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn? Why?
1) Why do you think people all over the world want to learn English?
4. Language focus:
1) even if=even though: in spite of the fact; no matter whether: He likes to help us even if he is very busy.
2) communicate with: exchange information or conversation with other people: He learnt to use body language to communicate with deaf customers.
3) actually=in fact: used when you are adding new information to what you have just said: We’ve known for years. Actually, since we were babies.
4) be based on…:
5) make use of: use sth. available
6) Only time will tell: to say that something can only be known in the future: Will China’s national football team enter for the next finals of the World Cup? Only time will tell.
六、课后反思
明确任务目标，站在学生角度，精心设计教学任务，提高学生英语学习的积极性，为学生创设英语交际环境。学生显得乐学，善学，提高了他们自主探究的兴趣，积极开展英语思维活动。在这堂课中，注重“以人为本”，发挥学生的主动性, 充分体现以学生为中心的教学理念。
整堂课师生，生生互动性强，在自主、互动、探究的方式中展开课堂教学。以任务型为教学原则，本案例的每一个任务都是围绕学习者“学”的角度设计的。通过小组活动，培养合作探究能力。注重学生学习策略的培养，如：预测、读图、如何归纳段意等。教授本课时，注重联系实际生活中的English around the world，体现了英语学习中的“学中用、做中学”的原则。在阅读后回答问题这一环节，设计的问题有2个是半开放的，培养学生的创新能力和发散思维。
不足之处回答问题设计的有些难，基础差的学生有些吃力，应把这几道题留做作业，作为复习巩固。
七、板书设计
Paragraph 1: The spread of the English language in the world
Paragraph 2: Native speaker can understand each other but they may not be able to understand everything.
Paragraph 3: All languages change when cultures communicate with one another.
