1、 教学内容分析
本单元以“电脑”为话题,以电脑和互联网的用途为主线,旨在通过单元教学,综合听、说、读、写等多种形式,使学生了解电脑和信息技术的产生和发展过程,及其在我们的学习、工作、娱乐等生活中所起的重要作用,激发学生对信息技术的兴趣。在本课中,学生将通过阅读一篇介绍电脑外观、用途和未来发展趋势的说明文,了解电脑在人类社会中的重要作用。本课的教学内容与学生的实际生活密切相关,易于引发学生运用简单的英语进行交流和思考。
2、 学情分析
初二1班为年级创新班,在过去一学年的英语学习中,学生的语言技能有所进步,但随着学习的深入,中考对学生逻辑性要求的提高,学生遇到的新问题亦显而易见。例如,学生对单一话题的认识只停留在课本内容上,相关拓展知识储备不足。在写作或口语表达等输出环节,学生对问题内容的阐述欠充裕,常停留在用一个简单句子回答问题,或是有观点却无理据支撑的层面上。因此,本课将从实际情况出发,利用本单元“电脑”这一与学生的学习生活密切相关的主题,鼓励学生积极开动脑筋,动用他们的知识储备对单元主阅读篇章的内容进行补充,并通过对电脑的利与弊的讨论,学习如何利用理据支撑自己的观点。

5、 教学设计理念
本节课理论指导为布鲁姆的教学目标认知分类法,考虑学生对该话题有一定的基础词汇以及作为本单元话题重要语言输入,教学设计围绕阅读策略和如何运用所学内容进行综合运用两个要点开展组织课堂,引领学生由浅入深,逐级推进学习。
本课采用交际法及任务型教学法,根据学生的需求,在教学中创造接近真实交际的情景,并采用小组合作进行模拟辩论的形式,展开基于主阅读篇章的拓展活动,通过言语交际活动培养学生运用英语语言进行交际的能力,并把课堂交际活动与课外生活的交际结合起来。
