Ss: It’s …
Ss discuss in groups and group leaders give a report.
Ss: There are the sea, trees, islands, stones, grass, and many people. We think it’s beautiful, fascinating and clean.
【设计意图】通过Group work的小组讨论操练目标语言,使学生能自如运用。

(About 15 min)
T: Wow, it’s a beautiful city. I’m going to visit all the places of interest these days. Anyway, I’m going to get married this May Day and I want to travel to some cities abroad during my honeymoon. Because I have traveled to the most beautiful city in China and three hundred million people take vacations abroad every year.
【设计意图】即完成过渡,又实现了文化的渗透(Culture Zoom In)。
T: So I went to the travel agency. There I saw three posters of Los Angeles, New York and Beijing and two people talking about one of the places. Can you guess which city they are talking about?
Ss listen to the mp3 but they can’t tell which one the people are talking about.
T: Look at the fist group of pictures in your paper. What’s it like?
Ss: There are many buildings, seas and Hollywood.
T: What about New York in picture 2?
Ss: There are …and it’s …
T: What about Beijing?
Ss: There … and it’s …
T: Now let’s listen again and choose the correct picture.
Ss: They are talking about Los Angeles.
【设计意图】通过让学生在先后不观察听力材料与观察听力材料的情况下对比自己的成果,下意识地培养听力策略。
T: Well. Maybe Los Angeles is really a good place for my honeymoon. But there are still some questions for me. What can my future husband and I do in Los Angeles. Can you listen and answer these questions for me?
Task – Group work in fours: Design a guidebook
T: My future husband and I went to the reception desk and the receptionist showed us some pictures of the cities. Look! Here are the pictures. If you are going to introduce these cities, how will you introduce them for us? Can you design the guidebook?

Stage IV: Assignment
T: Here comes the assignment for today:
1. Surf the information of the places of interests on the Internet
2. Make a survey about the plan of the May Holiday. (Where and Why)
【设计意图】通过作业分层次地把课堂教学的内容有机地向课外延伸。学生不仅在完成作业的同时回顾了目标语言,也实现了跨学科知识的拓展,更解决了生活中的实际问题:通过对他人计划的参考修改自己的假期计划。
课后反思
2007年4月16日到4月19日,我在杭州度过了终身难忘的四天。这四天,我全身心投入了省英语课堂教学评比的备战与参赛过程,虽然没有争得太大的荣耀,也存在着不完美,但是在这个过程中,我学到了很多很多。
首先,我对新课程的理念有了更深一层的理解。在这一次优质课评比的过程中,新课程的理念得以充分体现,特别是对任务型教学与合作学习的设计,比起上一届优质课比赛要到位得多。这次参赛的老师们能够设计合适的任务,使学生通过分工合作完成任务以共同达成学习目标。与以往相比,他们能摆脱流于形式,华而不实的缺点,使任务的落实更有实效,学生也在合作中大有收获。
其次,以学生为主体的教学方式体现得更为到位。与以往所观摩的优质课大有不同的是,我们可以在此次参赛老师的展示课中看到,他们都力求做到让学生作为主体来呈现目标语言,即由学生的嘴里说出今天所要教学的目标语言。这是新课标的一大特色。
第三,让学生在玩中学的教学方法让我对新教材的教学方法有了新的体会。在以往的教学中,我很注重让学生在做中学。而对于“玩中学”,我认为不同的学生有不同的学情,未必所有的学生都适合用游戏的方式学到知识,认为可操作性不强。即使设计“Game”,我也不会设计让学生玩的尽兴的游戏,生怕课堂纪律受影响。但在此次优质课的展示中,我也看到了学生在老师设计的游戏中既玩得尽兴又巩固了目标语言。这样一来,我就颠覆了自己以往的教学理念,对“玩中学”有了全新的理解:我可以以pair work的形式让学生在游戏中操练目标语言,我可以以group work的形式让学生在游戏中巩固目标语言。
第四,情景的创设出乎意料。此次优质课展示中,有一个情境的创设很是让我感到诧异:有两位老师设置了在上课时接电话的情境来呈现目标语言。这样大胆的情境创设是我所不敢采用的。但是事实证明,学生在这样的情境中确实对目标语言有更了深刻的印象和理解。这使我了解到:创设情境一定要以让学生学会目标语言、运用目标语言为目的。
第五,个人素质的提高。作为一名区级学校的英语教师,我平常会接触到很多教学设计相当出色但自身素质不足以近乎完美地表现设计理念的教师。而在这一次优质课评比中,几乎每一为老师的素质都令人称赞。从熟练标准的口语到流利端正的板书,每一位老师都有我值得学习的长处。
无论如何,这一次的优质课评比给我的收获远大于我所谓的不完美。而这一切收获不仅是我难忘的经历,更是我在教学方面终身宝贵的经验财富。
