学情分析: The students from Grade 8 are about 13 years old. Teenagers at this age are usually curious about stories, music, movies, history, traditions, culture, etc. They would like to know the world around them. They are also willing to accept all the new things. They are active, energetic, and fond of games, competitions and funny activities, but at the same time they are easy to get impatient or bored when they have difficulty in English learning. What’s more, they are all in their early adolescence period, which means that they care more about other people’s opinions. They want to show themselves in front of others but they are afraid to express themselves in English and make mistakes.
Therefore, as a listening lesson, we should first build a pleasant and relaxing class atmosphere in which students can enjoy their English reading at ease. Then we can motivate students to enjoy listening to the ancient story by leading in some Chinese fairy tales. Apart from that, the help with new words, the introduction to the background of the Trojan War and useful listening skills are helpful to improve students’ listening comprehension. And as we all know, it is easy for children and teenagers to learn through play. Thus we’d better design different kinds of interesting tasks or funny activities before and after listening for every student to participate in. As a result, they can cooperate, communicate ,help with each other and improve in the activities or games. More importantly, they can learn the new words, expressions, sentences they have learnt through listening and develop their listening skills while having fun. In a word, we should motivate students to enjoy English listening and let them learn through cooperation in a relaxing atmosphere.
