3.
学习难点
识记有关食品方面的词汇。
二、学情分析
我们学校是重点高中,大多数学生基础比较扎实,有一定的自主学习和探究的能力,具有用英语思考和表达的基本技能。
三、设计理念
首先通过导入环节帮助学生克服文化背景知识的不足,然后向学生进行一定的节日特色的渗透,通过采用PWP的教学模式,训练听力策略,使学生逐步获得掌握文章的结构、主题及细节等方面的技巧。通过设计真实的情景,帮助学生克服词汇量的不足和内心的紧张情绪,要让学生积极参与,提高对听力的兴趣。
四、学习目标
1)
能识别对话和语段中新学词汇和短语,并正确理解其意义。
2)能听懂有关西方风俗或节日的描述,并根据要求完成相关的练习。
3)能从于本模块有关的讨论中提取信息和观点。

让学生在熟悉的语言环境中进一步体验已学的课文中的语言知识,做到正确理解,准确表达,同时为后面的听力训练做准备。
点评:教师给学生提供一个情景,让学生从自己的生活、从自己所熟悉的情景去建构相应的知识和能力,尤其是自我表达能力。这是任务教学结合建构主义的理论开展的一种教学过程的设计。而且话题的内容与新授课相关,有利于学生了解中西方文化的差异及各具特色的语言背景,从而扩大语言文化知识面。

[设计意图]
通过回答以上问题来激活学生大脑中关于carnival的背景知识,暗示学生听力材料的内容仍然是关于狂欢节庆典活动的,从而对材料的内容进行预测,做到温故知新。
本模块的听力材料中涉及的节日和食物的名称难度较大,所以先给学生看一些直观的图片,再介绍相关的内容。降低了听力的难度,提高了学生的学习积极性,激发了兴趣。学生对不同的节日文化了解的更透彻,能为更好的理解听力材料作铺垫。
点评:以旧带新,让学生熟悉话题,明确听力目的;以直观的手段让学生了解相关词语,激发兴趣和欲望。为新授内容做了充分的准备。

本模块听力材料的特点是:容量多,信息量大,生词多。考虑到学生的接受能力,认为把Interview
1作为阅读材料比较合适。一是因为教材已给出表格中有关问题的答案;二是有interview
1作铺垫,学生可以对问题(重点预测)和对话的大致内容(通篇预测)进行预测;把倾听的焦点放在语篇的大意和与问题相关的关键信息,而不是个别词语,并随时记下关键词,根据上下文,利用笔记思考分析,剔出冗余信息,最后解决问题。这样可以降低难度,同时也为最后的写作训练做好准备。

由于学生词汇量少,不会的词很多,通过填空的形式,激活学习的问题意识,形成基于问题的学习任务,从而展开提出问题、分析问题、解决问题的学习活动,。听力过程不是一个独立的过程,在这个过程中,要让学生学会耳到、口到、手到、心到。边听边写,记录关键词,重要的数字等,以免忘记。把听到的信息表达出来,边听边猜,猜接下来的信息,预测最后的结果。

逐层加大难度,让学生对听力材料有一定的概括能力。因为听力训练是一个言语感知的过程,学习者不仅要掌握基本的语言知识,而且要就听力技巧进行反复训练。按照“刺激-----反应----强化”的原则,使学生大量接触语言信息达到建立语言反射和意识反射的能力。

层层推进,由浅入深,逐步提高学生的听力理解能力,在听的过程中让学生善于抓住关键词句,重视语篇理解。听时重点要放在实词上,不能盲目地逐字逐句地听。注意问题相关的信息词,如:well,
so.
oh.
but,
I
think等引导词后的内容必须留心。做到在掌握其中重要细节的基础上,经过认真分析加以作答。
点评:教师根据学生的认知水平设计了有层次、有梯度的训练。为了能顺利地进行听力策略的训练,教师把教材中的练习活动进行了合理的修改,降低了难度。
教师把Interview
1作为朗读材料提供给学生,目的是让学生对即将要听材料的内容做出预测;通过信息转换的表格练习,训练学生记忆的技巧――学会做笔记,而且是有选择地做笔记,即把重要的信息以及容易忘记的内容,如时间、地点、数字等关键词记下来。(如果能教给学生用简单符号或缩写来做笔记就更好了。)以问答题形式,训练学生在听较长语篇时要注意整体把握。由开始的单项练习(表格、问答),到最后学生经过多次听练,熟悉了话题并掌握了篇章结构后的多项练习(表格+问答),难度递增,但是学生并没有畏难的情绪,也不感到听练枯燥,大家轻轻松松,舒舒服服地完成了任务。

调整到此处并对这个活动的要求进行了变化,目的就是为了训练学生对语篇的理解能力,能够描述有关狂欢节的情况,能围绕“中外节日”这一话题展开讨论;通过Activity
7,训练学生能从与本模块题材有关的讨论中提取信息和观点的能力。培养学生得体的交际能力,提高他们用英语表达的信心和欲望。
点评:教师通过这项练习一是检验学生是否最终掌握了文章的整体大意,通过复述练习,以发挥学生的语言潜能,培养良好的语感;二是培养学生的概括能力,让学生听后概述,强化识记。借助图片,以强化效果,降低难度。符合学生的认知发展规律。

Spring
Festival
The
Spring
Festival,
also
known

the
lunar
New

is
the

A
get-together
dinner

[设计意图]
通过写作练习,训练学生能够交流有关中国传统节日的信息,运用本模块所学词汇和短语进行写作,通过自我评价和他人评价的方式了解自己对本模块知识掌握的情况。并且能在写作中做到文体规范,语句通顺,紧扣主题,最终达到文章的连贯性和紧凑感。
点评:
这项练习是训练学生的综合语言运用能力。首先,教师从词汇入手。这些词语出现在听力材料中,有的可能学生还没有完全理解,有的是在交际中常用的。教师让学生在一定的语境中对这些词语再认识,再体会,加深对听力材料的理解。然后,教师又从文章的布局谋篇出发(知识呈现中的表格练习),创设另一种情境,让学生利用以前和本课所学知识,完成语篇写作任务。整个过程顺序渐进,让学生在生活的体验中学会准确地表达,提高交际水平。
六、课后反思
听力教学是高中英语教学的薄弱环节,我们需要从提高学生的基本能力和良好习惯入手,老师的职责就在于引导和点拨,创设很好的英语听力的氛围和环境。这堂听力训练课是按照由浅入深、由易到难、由慢到快、循序渐进的原则,有目的地通过一定的情景进行单词--短语—短文的训练。向学生输入西方节日的信息,培养学生跨文化意识。并且要始终贯彻运用和交际性的原则,强化学生主体意识,让他们成为课堂的主人,训练学生的综合语言运用能力。
七、总体总评
教师对教材的分析和理解非常到位,教学目标的确定符合课标要求,也符合“和谐高效,思维对话”的理念。教师在知识呈现时,做到以人为本,尊重学生,把知识的传授与能力训练有机的结合在一起。让学生从熟悉的生活开始,到提供真实的情景让学生运用所学知识,从生活中来到生活中去,使学生在体验中对词语的认识和理解又进了一层,对语篇的理解又提高了一步。本节课的听力材料内容多,生词多,教师不仅注意了听力训练和讲解相结合,而且对于教材中的练习,教师能根据教学目标的需要,根据学生的需求,大胆灵活地进行调换删改,非常有创意。如把听力材料1作为阅读材料,让学生在阅读的过程中预测本节课的听力内容,了解有关西方节日庆典习俗,降低了听力难度,既确保了学生信心十足地完成听力任务,又让学生轻松地而顺利地完成了本节课听力技巧的训练:对数字、人名、地名、饮食名称等的摘记技巧。本堂课的各项活动由易到难,逐步深入,过渡自然,衔接紧凑,有逻辑性。比如教材中的Activity
4是让学生听后将节日名称与图片进行匹配。这个练习对于大多数学生而言是比较困难的。如果先完成Activity
5
再做Activity
4,
学生就能较顺利地完成任务。随堂的巩固训练内容与形式有利于教学目标的达成。整个设计保证了教学过程的和谐有效。
