教学反思：
本节课内容为task， 任务多、碎、重。包括学生读、听、说、写的全方位的能力训练。想要把所有的要点囊括在有限的课堂45钟， 教者花了大量心思。每一个环节都精心设计， 为本节课的重点---写道歉信做准备，既流畅自然，又突出了重点， 达成了教学目标， 取得良好的教学效果。在坚持教材的基础上，拓宽了学生相关的知识面， 恰到好处地延展了教学内容。主要体现在以下方面：
教学流程的巧妙融合。从开头的视频的选用导入文中的异常事件，进入文中的第一个听力训练。从听力中的作者的疑惑到阅读文章寻找答案、找老师询问(第二段听力)过渡水到渠成。从对外国文化或禁忌感兴趣地提问和回答、明白自己为何误解外宾到写道歉信，学生在老师的指导下循序渐进地完成各项教学任务。最后讨论题的设计画龙点睛。整个流程浑然一体， 并不显得突兀、脱节、零碎、杂乱。
教学内容富有趣味。开头的视频内容、中间的让学生现场模拟表演发生在外宾们身上的怪事、学生和老师合作练习中外不同方式敬酒的对话等都突破了文中有限的内容，时刻注意抓住学生的注意力。
学生参与方式多样化。有学生独立听文章填词、同桌相互校对、三组两人合作表演、同桌合作写作、展示作品、二人练习对话、全班朗读、学生和老师共同合作、四人小组讨论等。
板书设计独具匠心。板书概括了课堂所有环节的教学内容、层层深入，一目了然又突出重点。
总的来说，这节课能把Task的凌乱的内容巧妙地融合在一起，体现新课程理念，形声并茂，对学生进行了读、听、说、写全方位的能力训练，很好地完成教学任务，达成教学目标。
