1、牛津高中英语模块一第三单元阅读部分的教学反思引言牛津高中英语模块一Unit3的话题是Looking good, feeling good。阅读部分的材料选自一对好朋友Amy和Zhou Ling的三封邮件。讲述Amy冒着生命危险减肥,在及时治疗后,终于明白beauty和health之间的正确关系。旨在通过此文章学习,让学生深刻领悟出健康的价值,以及社会上人与人之间的友谊和关爱的重要性。通过阅读讨论了解保持健康的各种方法,鼓励和帮助同学朋友合理饮食加以积极得参加体育锻炼,养成良好的生活习惯。学生经过一段时间的高中英语阅读技巧的训练,基本掌握了略读、跳读等一定的阅读技能,能够读懂并分析此文,但大部分
2、学生运用英语进行交际活动的能力较差,因而要加强此方面的训练。高中生比较独立、思维比较活跃,也有着爱张扬个性的特点,部分学生的基础较好,能主动配合老师,愿意开口讲,但大部分学生显得更加矜持,不像小学生、初中生那么爱举手发言。因此,实施因材施教,运用贴近学生生活的题材,设置学生感兴趣的活动,就能让所有的学生投入到课堂学习中来。教学目标After learning this part, the students will be able to grasp the main topics of the three e-mailsAmys problems, how she dealt with the

20、 better understanding.Finish Part A1, A2 on page 94.教学反思本节课通过运用不同形式的教学方法,设置不同的任务,基本做到了把课堂让给学生,让学生在自主、合作、探究的气氛中愉快度过,既顺利完成教学任务,又促进其情感教育。首先,课堂的导入是十分重要的,好的导入能够紧紧抓住学生的心理和兴趣,使课堂教学更具趣味性和艺术性。本节课上,通过给学生展示不同人物的图片,进而简单讨论时下减肥方法,起到给学生热身的作用,让学生初步认识到吃减肥药是不正确的,有害健康的。以此引出今天的话题人物Amy其次,教学内容设计要符合本班学生的实际情况,难度适中,尽量满足不同类型
21、和不同层次学生的要求。在任务的设置中应充分考虑学生是否能够完成。本堂课的细节理解部分难度合适,大多数学生都能顺利完成。具体来说在对文章的梳理过程中,通过听录音,朗读课文,配以在幻灯片呈现问题,让学生有目的性带着问题去听课文,朗读课文,一部分一部分的分析课文,解决问题。在此过程中,不同的任务设置激发了学生的学习兴趣和用英语表达的欲望。小组活动在竞赛中进行,使得小组活动既有合作又有竞争,增加了小组活动的有效性。最后,根据新课标的要求-学以致用,结合学生的实际生活引导他们讨论如何保持健康,让学生在小组活动中通过分工合作和讨论探究来完成任务,从而树立并坚定她们的健康观念。最后设计了阅读策略指导这一环节
22、,进一步提高学生的阅读技能和培养学生的自主学习能力。在本课时的教学中也有很多地方值得我去认真地反思:1部分学生的语言基本功不够扎实,找不到恰当的词汇来表达自己的看法,导致有学生在讨论时夹杂着汉语,甚至有的学生不敢说出自己的看法,欲言又止,导致气氛没有预想的热烈。所以在平时的教学中,应该多呈现给学生更多的常用句型,让学生掌握常用句型。多多训练他们的口语,鼓励学生大胆开口。2由于本堂课任务多,容量大,导致完成任务时间较紧,没有足够讨论时间,今后应注意教学步骤间的紧密衔接,充分体现教师主导、学生主体作用。3要充分考虑到预设与生成的关系,特别是在预设阶段,要充分考虑到学生的实际,掌握学生的心理特点与认知过程,一步步地呈现给学生,由易到难,由浅入深,这样在生成阶段学生才会更好地掌握知识,不会出现冷场的现象。4本节课注重对课文的整体梳理和对材料的挖掘,未能对一些基础语言知识和句子结构的教授与分析。今后应该注意在分析篇章大意时可与语言知识结构的有机结合。
