Book 4 Unit 1 Women of Achievement --- Reading 课后反思
本节课的课堂容量大。学生需要做好充分的预习，牢记本单元的相关词汇，了解本单元的背景知识，为阅读课文和话题讨论做好铺垫。
本堂课采用了新课标提倡的任务型教学途径。《普通高中英语课程标准（实验稿）》提出中学英语教学应“尽量采用任务型的教学途径”的要求。任务型语言教学强调采用具有明确目标的“任务”来帮助语言学习者更主动的学习和运用语言。因此，我在教学设计中设计了多项学习任务，如阅读课文，找出主题句，查找细节信息等，促使学生在整个教学过程中参与各种活动，自主探究，真正获得自主学习的成功乐趣。
本课成功之处：巧妙的进行小组合作，加强了小组合作意识。通过阅读扩充了学生的词汇量，开阔了学生的视野，拓展了学生的知识面。
亮点是：学生的参与性强，表现积极活泼，值得肯定。
不足之处：由于受到时间有限，最后一个环节结束的相对仓促。在以后的阅读教学中，我会更加注重这一环节的问题设计安排，使英语多媒体阅读教学达到最佳效果。
总之，正如一位教育专家所言，没有一堂课是绝对完美的。我们作为一名老师，要不断提高自己，完善自己的课堂教学。路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。
