教学反思
这节课的设计理念是:紧扣课标,立足课堂,充分利用多媒体课件以及图画和卡片,为学生营造和创设轻松愉快的学习环境,引导学生在情景中快乐的学英语。
在这节课中,我遵循了语言教学的一般规律,听说领先,读写跟后。在复习巩固旧知识的基础上,逐步导入和呈现新的句型,让孩子们做动作,把图画和卡片相搭配,培养了孩子们动手和动脑的能力,也激发了他们学英语的兴趣。在如此循序渐进中,孩子们听,说,读,写四项技能都得到了训练。导入自然,重点突出。在教学中辅之以适当的德育渗透,孩子们在这节课中能熟练并愉悦的掌握所学知识内容,达到了快乐学英语的目的,也圆满完成了本节课的教学任务。
不足之处是语言环境还创设得不够真实,那样孩子们会更加有说英语的激情和热情。另外操练的形式也可以更多样化一些。这是我在今后的工作中有待改进的问题。

第3单元教学反思:
新课标要求我们在教学过程中要关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学气氛。总的来说我认为这一单元的课是成功的。本单元突出的特点是:考虑到小学生的心理特点,将有意注意与无意注意交叉进行,让学生在真实的情景中去学语言,小学生在活动中边学边玩例如:在上课的时候,就让学生跟着老师边说英语边做动作。我设计了唱歌、游戏、竞赛等多项活动,这些活动都是小学生非常喜欢的,在这些活动中小学生把学习英语看成是一件乐事,一件趣事,从而提高了英语学习的效率。本单元不足之处就是学生写的方面抓得不到位,学生只会说,不会写。今后要在这方面多努力。
