课后反思
通过这节语法课,我深刻体会到课程标准所倡导的以语言运用为导向的“形式-意义-使用”三维动态语法观。因此,在教学中,我重视在语境中呈现动词不定式,在语境中指导学生观察它的使用场合、表达形式、基本意义和语用功能,并通过课内外和信息化环境下的练习和活动,巩固所学知识,在语境中帮助学生学会应用动词不定式。深刻体会到只有在真实的情景中,才能把语法课上好并上“活”。这节课比较成功地完成了预期的目标和任务,收到了预想的效果。
但是还存在着以下不足之处:
1、时间把握得不是太好,有的环节太匆忙。
2、课件制作有点落后,应再加强对多媒体技能的学习,课件制作再精美些,高级点。
3、应再加强英语语言上的规范化,多学习地道口语。
4、应注意开场的激情和语言的抑扬顿挫的节奏感。
5、练习题设置太难,要根据学生的水平,设计有梯度的练习题。今后,我要精心准备好并上好每一节课,课下多反思总结。多听其他教师的课,吸取精华为我所用。做学习型的老师,与学生共同成长
