阅读课（全英）经典初中英语说课稿

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I’m NO.12. Today it’s my great honor to stand here and I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to share my teaching ideas with all of you.
My topic today is unit12 Life is full of the unexpected, which is taken from PEP English, Grade 9. I will analyze this lesson from the following 5 parts: the analysis of teaching material, the analysis of students, teaching methods, teaching procedures, and blackboard design.
Now, let’s go to
Part 1 The analysis of teaching material
I divide this part into 3 aspects.
1. Status and function
This lesson is a reading passage, which focused on the topic of April Fool’s Day. Such a topic is related to our daily life, so it is easy to arouse the Ss’ learning interests. As we all know, reading has a great effect on speaking and writing. Therefore this lesson is in the important position of the teaching material.
2. Teaching aims
For knowledge aim,
Ss can learn the new words and new phrases such as announce, hoax, discovery, cancel, lady, officer and sell out by the end of this lesson. And understand the main idea of the article.
For ability aim,
Ss will improve their reading skills: they will learn to skim for the main idea of the article and scan for the specific information. Also they will enlarge the relative knowledge about western festivals by reading more materials in library or from internet.
For emotional aim,
I aim to develop Ss’ spirit of cooperation through teamwork and group-discussion. And arouse Ss’ interest in English learning.
3. Teaching important points and difficult points.
The important points are to get an overall understanding of the whole text and develop Ss’ reading skills such as skimming, scanning, summarizing language points about…..…(具体课型用具体例子阐述). The difficult point is enabling the Ss to use the new words and phrases to retell the passage and to express their own ideas in daily life.
Part 2 The analysis of students
The Ss in Grade 9 have learned English for some years, so they have mastered enough knowledge both in vocabulary and reading skills, which will be helpful for them to understand the passage. They are curious, active, and enjoy learning through cooperation in a relaxing atmosphere.
Part 3 Teaching methods
In this lesson, my teaching methods include audio-visual teaching method and task-based teaching methods.
Besides, a puter, a blackboard, and a projector are needed as the teaching aids.
Part 4 Teaching procedures
There are five steps in my teaching procedures. But before teaching, I will divide the whole class into several groups to enable Ss to cooperate with each other efficiently and do discussion conveniently.
Step 1 Warming-up and leading in (3mins)
In order to activate the Ss to regard the topic of April Fool’s Day(主题) and create a relaxing atmosphere, I’ll play a video for the Ss. The video is about flying penguins which was made by BBC.
T: “Let’s enjoy a video”.
T: What did you see in the video.
Ss: The penguins can fly.
T: Do you believe it? Is it true?
Ss may give different answers.
T: Well, it is not real. It’s not believable. The video was put on TV on April Fool’s Day by BBC. It was just a hoax on April Fool’s Day.”
Then it goes on to
Step 2 Pre-reading (10mins)
In this step, the main purpose is to stimulate the students’ learning interest in the topic of April Fool’s Day.
T: April Fool’s Day is an interesting day. What do you know about this day?
Yes, it’s on April 1st every year.
Then it es to

3. Read Para.3 and role play this story.
T: You can practice it in groups. Student A is the narrator. Student B is the famous star. Student C is the girlfriend. And the others are the audiences.
Then I will ask some groups to perform the story.
After the performance, I’ll ask:“Did the story have a happy ending?”
Ss: No.
T: So what is the ending?
Ss: The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.

4. Para.4
I will show a picture of a UFO and let Ss predict what Para.4 talks about.
T: Look at the picture. What will Para.4 talk about?

T: Now let’s read para.4 to check your answers…… First, read and answer the following questions.
(1) What did Orson Wells announce on his radio program in October，1938 ?
He announced that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. (what trick)
(2) Did people believe the story? Why?
Yes, because he made it so real that hundreds of people believed it. Fear spread across the whole country. (result)
(3) What had happened by the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax?
Thousands of people had left their homes. (result)
T: So from the passage we know this paragraph is about a trick of aliens.
But if you hear the same story now, will you believe it?
Why did people in the United States believe it in 1938? Let's watch the video to find the answer.
T: Orson Welles used the real address and real streets’ or roads’ name. So many people believed it was real.
Let’s summarize the alien hoax.
