Unit 2 School life
Lesson 1 How is school going
一、教学内容分析
本课时为听说课，内容通过两个学生Jenny和Wang Mei的对话，讨论了有关学校生活的话题。她们互相询问各自学校情况，讨论了日常生活安排、学校上课时间和各自所学的科目等。Wang Mei 还提到自己学校举行运动并在跳远比赛取得名次。通过本课时的学习，学生学会描述自己的学校生活，学会分享，培养积极向上的学习态度和对学校活动的参与热情。另外学生在听、读对话语篇的过程中，还会学到 /ɑ:/ /u:/ / :l/ / / /t / /ks/的发音方法，并练习运用相关语音知识正确、流利地朗读句子。
二、语篇分析
【What】 本课时通过Jenny和Wang Mei的对话来展现学校生活。她们互相询问学校情况，包括每日课程数量、上学时间、放学时间等日常安排，还分享了各自所学的科目，其中都提到喜欢体育，Wang Mei 还提到自己在运动会跳远比赛中取得第一名。 【Why】 本课时的话题贴近学生的日常生活。通过学习，学生掌握询问和描述学校日常安排、所学课程等方面的英语表达。通过交流，学生分享在运动会上取得的成绩，传递一种积极参与学校活动、享受校园生活的氛围，有助于培养学生积极向上的生活态度。 【How】 本课时的对话“How is school going ” 开启话题，“I have...”“I am good at...” 等陈述日常，符合学生日常表达习惯。 围绕学校生活主题，选取 “subjects”“sports meet”“favourite”等实用且具代表性词汇，利用学生积累并运用到同类话题表达中。
三、学情分析
学生已经有了一定的英语基础，掌握了基本的问候语和简单的日常对话。但对于描述学校生活细节的词汇和句子结构可能还不够熟悉。初中学生具有较强的好奇心和模仿能力，本课设置了听力和朗读任务，能够通过完成听说任务来练习口语表达。学生喜欢互动性强的学习方式，对与自己生活相关的话题比较感兴趣。应用多媒体课件，创设学生喜欢的交往情境，以学生为主体，在教师的指导下，通过感知、体验、参与、合作、游戏感悟等方式激发学生的听说，并学习语音知识，提升朗读水平。

五、教学重难点
【重点】 1. 通过听力练习，让学生能够准确地获取对话中的关键信息。 2. 使用对话中描述学校生活的常用的句型，在口语中正确使用这些句型进行交流。 【难点】 灵活运用所学在不同的实际情境中描述自己或他人的学校生活。
