教學(xué)后記
這是一節(jié)聽說課。現(xiàn)行的英語教材容量大，任務(wù)多，在這節(jié)課中我安排了聽和說這兩項能力訓(xùn)練內(nèi)容，但學(xué)生對主題公園不太熟悉，真正體驗(yàn)過過山車、蹦極等游樂項目的學(xué)生很少，因此他們能談的也不多，時間有些浪費(fèi)。以前我要求學(xué)生預(yù)習(xí)的重要是他們不熟悉的話題和不具備的知識，這次因錯誤估計他們的人生體驗(yàn)而未布置具體的預(yù)習(xí)提綱，使得上課時氣氛比較沉悶，不過學(xué)生在完成聽和說的任務(wù)中表現(xiàn)得還是不錯的。今后要對學(xué)生情況做詳細(xì)調(diào)查。
另外，這課的話題是娛樂世界，與問路關(guān)系并不密切，在Listening 完畢進(jìn)入到Speaking 時，盡管我安排了觀看短片，但過渡仍然顯得不流暢，如果要把聽和說真正結(jié)合起來，其實(shí)應(yīng)該從問路找公園開始，過渡到討論公園的主要游樂項目到更自然些。今后應(yīng)更全面地考慮教學(xué)內(nèi)容的安排和實(shí)施方法。
