Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Yin Huiping from MaoHuaMiddle School in Zhu Shan county. .It’s my great pleasure to be here and present my class today. Now I’ll say the first period of Unit 4 Where’s my schoolbag?
Go for it ! Students’ Book in Grade Seven. I’m so glad to have a chance to learn about the best teaching methods from you. Now I’ll talk about section A (from 1a to1c) of it. I’ll say the lesson from four parts: 一、Analysis of teaching material 二、Teaching methods 三、Guide of studying ways 四、Teaching precedure.
一: Analysis of the teaching material
(一) Status and function
1. The main topic of Unit 4 is talking about where things are. From this lesson, the Ss will learn some prepositions of positions,such as in, on ,under… and use them to describe the locations of objects in daily life. So it is helpful to raise their learning interests and improve their spoken English.
(二) Teaching aims and demands
1. Knowledge Objects
In this lesson, Ss should master the new words “table ,bed, sofa, bookcase ,chair……” etc. At the same time, they should know how to use these sentences “Where’s my schoolbag ?Where’re my books ?”and know how to answer these questions.
2. Abillity Objects
In this lesson, I’ll mainly train the Ss listening and speaking abilities and develop the Ss’ abilities of munication by learning the useful structures.
3. Moral Objects
In this lesson, the Ss should learn how to work with others and help each other, how to impress their own ideas during the munication.
4.Teaching keys and difficulties
According to the teaching aims, I think the focus of this lesson is the use of new expressions“in,, on , under… ” and help the Ss to municate with each other. The difficulty is to master the Where questions.
二、Teaching methods
As we all know: the main instructional aims of learning English in middle school is to bring upstudents’basic abilities of listening、speaking、reading and writing and their good sense of the English language. So In this lesson, I’ll mainly use the “task-based” teaching method, and it will be used in the whole lesson. That is to say, I will let the Ss learn in real situations, finish tasks and some activities , guessing games, watching a flash, acting to help the Ss to get a better understanding of the key structure of the conversation .I think it’s helpful to develop the Ss’ thought. I’llalso use “situation municating” method. It can provide enough listening and speaking situations for Ss. I think good teaching methods are the keys to success.
三、Guide of studying method
In order to guide the Ss better, develop the Ss’ abilities, in this lesson, I ‘m not a teacher, but a guider .I’m ready to give them help whenever they need and re-correct the mistakes while talking .Each unit in Go for it contains pair work, group work and games. The students who sit at the same table and groups can make a discussion and learn from each other. It makes each student relaxed. They needn’t worry about making mistakes. It can arouse students to think and to say what they want to say. Study bees more relaxing and pleasing in this kind of environment.Then the Ss will learn how to be a good language learner , and how to municate with others. It will be very helpful for their learning in the future. I think good studying ways can help the Ss to be good language learners.
四、Teaching procedure:
Step One: Warming up.
1. Enjoy “Where’s thumbkin’’ song.In order to form a better English surrounding for Ss, attract the Ss’ attention, I’ll begin my class with an English song—Where is thumbkin ? song. It can help the students to be clear. I think a good beginning is a half of success.
2. Revise some school things..Play a guessing game by putting some school things in a box to revise them. e.g.: What’s this in English? How do you spell it? Is this your…?
What color is it?
3.Say like this:
1) Pen-pens pencil-pencils ruler-rulers
Key-keys eraser-erasers book-books …
2) This is a pen. These are pens.
Step Two :Presentation: New words learning.
1. 1.Point at a desk and say “ This is a desk.Then teach them to read “ desk, a desk , This is a desk.
2. Show the pictures on the screen. Show the pictures first, then the words one by one. Read the new words one by one. 1).Show the picture of a table ,ask: Is it a desk ? Help the Ss answer: No .,it isn’t.It’s a table. Write table on the blackboard ,teach them to read table ,a table ,It’s a table .Teach ‘chair ,sofa ,bookcase ,bed like this. . 2). Look at the picture on page 19.Ask them to do 1a of the students’ book . Match the words with the things in the picture, and check the answer together. Read the new words on the left by the students.
Step Three: Presentation.
1. Use real objects to present in, on, under , then show the pictures of different positions. Show the pictures of a box and an apple to teach ″in, on, under″
2. look at the picture on the screen to present the target language again. . 3.Ask some of them to do part 1of the exercise on the blackboard and check the answer together .Finally read .
4..Playing a game .Listen and do. Put the book in your desk. Put the pen on your book…
.
Step Four. Practice.
1.Guide them to say sentences together according to the pictures of using in, on ,under .
2.Add where question . Present ″where’s…? It’s in/on/under…″ with a pencil and a book
3. Show some pencils andbooks to the students and present ″Where are…? They’re….”
4. Ask and answer in pairs.
Encourage them to use different words and find out the best group.
This activity can not only help the Ss grasp the usage of target language, but also can help the Ss learn from each other. It can not only improve the Ss’ speaking and listening skills, but aslo improve their ability of working with others. The Ss at this age enjoy showing themselves, so it can also improve theirstudying interests, I think it’s most important during studying, because interest is a best teacher.
Step FiveListening
1.Ask students to look at the pictures in activity 1a. Then ask students to read the sample conversations in activity 1c.
2 Listen to the tape, finish 1b with the students.
while the Ss listening , I’ll go around the classroom and help the Ss who have trouble in listening . It can not only help the Ss who have trouble in listening, but also help the teachers go closer to the Ss. I think the closer the teachers go to the Ss , the better the students will learn.亲其师,信其道。If necessary, I’ll play the tape again. Finally, check the answers.
I think it’s easy for them to do it . In order to improve their listening ability, I will ask them to watch a flash, then ask them to answer some questions.
Step Six Acting
1. Ask students to work in pairs and make their own conversations .
This activity can help them learn to work together with others and can improve their speaking skills.
Ask some pairs to present one or more of their conversations to the class.
Step Seven: SummaryWords: in, on, under, where, they, , chair, bed, table, sofa, , bookcase.
Sentences: -Where’s my / the baseball? -It’s in the backpack.
-Where are my / the books? -They’re on the sofa.
-Where’s my / the baseball? -It’s under the table.
Step Eight Talking
Show photo and a passage .Guide them to fill into the blanks ,after that, read together.
Give them one minute to work in groups Ask two students to talk about the room.
Step Nine. Homework.
Ask them to draw a picture of there room and write about their rooms.
My ideas of teaching this unit
1. “Task-based” teaching is a very good method of teaching English. In this way, the students are the principal part of teaching. And they are clear what is their target, so they will try their best to get the target.
2. English teaching should be close to daily life. After the students understand why they are studying English and how to use English, they will be more interested in it.
3. In the teaching process, we should encourage the students to join, observe, practice, think independently and cooperate. Change their thought from “I have to study.” to “I want to study.”
4.As Mr Ye Shentao says ‘The way that the teacher teaches should be the ways for Ss to study”These are all my ideas of teaching,That’s all my speech.Thanks for listening.
