Unit 9 Lesson 1 (period 2) 教学设计
文本分析
【内容分析】 本课教学内容为Unit 9第3课时,Lesson 1 Active Learning阅读课型的第二课时。本课为“人与自我”主题语境下的“生活与学习”主题群,主题语境内容要求为引导学生乐于学习,善于学习,终身学习。 在本语篇中,研究专家 Kevin Daum先介绍了什么是主动学习,然后就如何进行主动学习提出了五点建议:listen to the outer voice(倾听他人的声音),argue with your inner voice(审视内心的声音),ask questions(提出问题),get to the truth(寻找事实),和focus on the message(关注信息)。对于每一条建议,作者都介绍了学习行为、原理以及学习效果。 【主题意义】 作者通过本文中对主动学习的介绍,展示了主动学习的作用,让读者体会到主动学习的重要性,并学会主动学习的具体操作方法,从而引导读者在今后的学习生活中培养并保持主动学习的习惯,改善学习成果,提高学习效率,具备与现代社会需求和适应的学习能力以及不断促进自身发展的基本素质。 【语篇特点】 本语篇属于事理说明文,采用总分结构:第一部分(第1段)说明Active Learning的定义,采用比对手法下定义,阐述什么是主动学习;第二部分(第2至6段 )从学习行为、学习效果和原因三个角度分别阐述主动学习的五个策略,并且分别阐述了各自策略的reasons (why), actions (what)和effects(how)。文章结构、要点清晰,利于学生学习事理说明文的基本结构与说明方式。语言严谨却又平易近人,运用 “I suggest”、“you can”等表达,缩短了与读者之间的距离。 在时态上,文章运用一般现在时阐述建议和解释原理,如“your inner voice expresses your inner opinion”;运用一般将来时介绍听取建议进行主动学习之后会产生的效果,如“If you try to find out the source of an idea…you will increase your chance of learning something”。 此外,为了保持文章的科学性,作者还运用了情态动词以避免所得结论过于绝对,例如“you might end up agreeing with the speaker/writer”。最后,本文还运用了许多“动词+V- ing”和“动词+to do”的表达,在文中用绿色标注,例如“need to do”,“suggest doing”,这也是本文需要重点学习的语言知识点之一。
学情分析
【已有基础】 在Lesson 1第一课时的课前调研问卷中,学生反思个人学习方式(是否为主动学习者),表达了个人对于主动学习的理解(是什么、为什么、怎么做)。通过Lesson 1第一课时的学习,深入理解主动学习的定义和基本做法,并按照learning actions, reasons and learning effects三个维度对五种主动学习的方法进行提炼梳理,阐述自己对主动学习的理解,认识到主动学习的意义和重要性,并介绍如何成为一名主动学习者。 【困难点和发展点】 本课学习难点在于如何落实语篇中提供的主动学习策略,并辩证思考主动学习,在未来学习中采取积极主动的学习行为,梳理积极的学习态度,因此学习本课的过程也应该是学生主动学习、落实主动学习策略的过程,运用Lesson 1所学知识、语言和个人认知去解决日常生活中的问题,通过同伴讨论、班级辩论等形式从不同维度思考主动学习,并通过反思在日后学习如何成为更好的学习者。
教学目标
在本课时学习结束时,学生能够: 1. 基于文章,辨别日常学习行为是否为主动学习,并分析如何更好地促进主动学习; 2. 辩证思考文章所给内容,提出个人疑问,提高主动学习能力; 3. 通过辩论活动,辩证看待主动学习和被动学习的关系,及两者的意义和价值。

教学过程
教学阶段教师活动学生活动设计意图I. Warm up T shows the structure of the passage, and asks Ss to answer the questions: Based on the passage, what is active learning How can we be an active learner Why is active learning important Ss look at the structure and answer the questions.复习上节课所学内容,激活学生已知,从“是什么”、“怎么做”、“为什么”三个角度复述文章主要信息。 *双师互动:教师A主导,组织班级A回答问题,随后转向班级B,两班学生轮流分享看法。II. Read for applicationT shows some common ways of learning and asks Ss to decide whether they are correct according to Kevin Daum. If Ss believe the ways are wrong, T asks Ss what they should do and why.Ss read the statements and discuss in groups. Ss share their ideas in class with reasons.学生迁移所学内容并应用于新的场景中,判断所给的常见班级学习行为是否为主动学习,并基于所学说明原因,内化语篇含义及语言表达。 *双师互动:教师A主导,组织班级A和班级B轮流回答问题。III. Think CriticallyT asks Ss to work in groups and answer the question: Do you accept everything from Kevin Daum If not, what are your doubts T asks Ss to share their ideas. T proposes an argument that believes with the development of ChatGPT, we don’t need to learn actively, because ChatGPT can do almost everything for us. T asks Ss whether they agree with the statement, and how to rebut the statement (with sentence patterns provided).Ss work in group and discuss the question. Ss share their opinions. Ss read the argument and decide if they agree with it, and then rebut it with sentences patterns provided.以小组头脑风暴的形式,加深对语篇内容的深入分析,并联系时代背景(ChatGPT等科技进步)思考主动学习的意义,培养批判性思维,同时实践主动学习做法3(asking questions)、做法4(get to the truth)和做法5(focus on the message)。在最后一个问题的观点辩驳环节,复习辩论用语,为下一环节做好语言准备。 *双师互动:教师B主导,组织班级B和班级A轮流分享观点。IV. DebateT elicits the idea of passive learning as the opposite of active learning, and asks Ss to think whether active learning should replace passive learning in our study. T reviews the process of preparation, rules of the debate, useful language of debate and classroom debate rubric. T asks Ss to prepare in groups and take notes. T announces the start of the debate, and each class take turns to share their ideas. T asks Ss to make self- and peer-assessment about the debating performance based on the debate rubric. T summarizes the debate and give praise.Ss point out passive learning as the opposite to active learning, and decide whether active learning should replace passive learning in their study. Ss choose a side in the debate randomly. Ss prepare for their debate in groups. Ss debate on the issue “Should active learning replace passive learning”, and take turns to share ideas starting from the affirmative. Ss comment on their own performance and the performance from the other side in the debate based on the debate rubric.通过课前补充阅读资料,学生进一步了解被动学习及其与主动学习的异同。通过辩论,学生能够辩证看待主动学习和被动学习的关系,意识到虽然被动学习听起来是消极的、应被取代的,但有其一定价值,在准备辩论和辩论的过程中学生实践主动学习做法2(argue with your inner voice),同时促进师生、生生互动。 *双师互动:教师B主导,在辩论准备环节教师A、B在本班分头同时指导,随后教师B宣布辩论开始,组织按照正反方顺序逐一进行辩论,促进双师课堂中的生生互动。V. SummarizeT asks Ss to rethink the relationship between active learning and passive learning T asks Ss to reflect on their learning experience, and think about ways to combine active learning and passive learning to become better learners. Ss realizes that active learning and passive learning should be combine to become better learners, and share specific ways to learn better. 引导学生辩证思考主动学习与被动学习的关系,并反思如何结合两者以成为更好的学习者,做到回扣语篇主题,同时探究超越文本的意义。 *双师互动:教师A主导,组织班级1和班级2轮流回答问题。

评价设计
1.教师评价 教师在学生发言、准备活动中、完成活动后给予学生口头肯定或指导,根据学生实际生成给予针对性反馈或进行追问、反问,帮助学生调整学习策略,达成学习目标。 2.学生互评 在学生辩论活动中,学生根据评价量表从开篇立论和总结陈词、支撑细节、所学运用、说服力、演讲技能等方面的互评,评价量表如下: 同时学生对辩论小组的表现进行质性点评,指出优点及不足。 3.学生自评 在课程结束后,学生完成学案上的自我评价量表,一方面帮助学生监控、反思、评价自己学习中的收获与不足,另一方面帮助教师收集课堂反馈,服务于下一阶段的教学。自我评价量表如下:
教学反思
落实英语学习活动观,促进学生思维提升 本节课深入贯彻英语学习活动观,通过精心设计学习理解类、应用实践类、迁移创新类活动,将主动学习的主题贯穿在课堂学习中。鼓励学生联系语篇与现实生活,理解主动学习的意义;迁移所学,思考应该如何更好地学习;深入思考语篇内容,学会合理质疑文章作者观点;运用思维框架表达个人观点,培养逻辑性思维;在辩论中从多维度思考,提升发散性思维和逻辑论证的缜密度。整节课引导学生践行文章所给的主动学习的建议措施,结合个人经历,进行主动学习和思考,运用所学知识表达观点并给予支撑,培养学生批判思维和逻辑思维,使学生在语言学习的同时提升思维品质。 以学生为中心,发挥同伴互学、同伴促学的作用 从复习所学并转述、判断陈述并给出依据、合理质疑文章内容、表达个人观点,到梳理辩论观点、参与班级辩论、总结所学内容,本节课的每个环节都鼓励学生自主表达,在同伴和小组讨论中分享观点,并在班级分享中展示、交流观点,教师更多发挥引导、总结和提炼的作用,体现“以学生为中心”的教学理念。 后续教学改进措施 在后续教学中,建议结合学生水平优化学习活动设计,如在语言应用环节给到更开放的场景);课堂中继续加强学生自主输出,丰富输出形式,鼓励学生在真实情境下开放的交互式表达;同时对于辩论选题的表达进行优化,使其更适配学生真实生活。
