Second, Students analysis
About 3 students in Clastudents 2 are talented at English. Most students can complete the task if they can be inspired properly. The rest can do some easy task with the help of their group mates.
Third,the procestudentsing of teaching material.
According to the analysis of the teaching material and the difficulties Chinese students may meet when learning English, we should arouse students’ interest by creating an easy and relaxed circumtance at first, that is a talk about hobbies. The text will be understood by a listening to get its main idea ,a skanning to answer detailed questions ,and then an intensive reading to get throuth the whole text fully.
Fourth,teaching method
In this course, task-based teaching is useful.Different kinds of language functions needs different tasks.So in this lesson,I will lead students to study language through finishing the certain tasks,and let them “learning by using,learning for using”. The tasks are answering questions after listening ,skanning, finding the important points by reading in groups,and then a writing of a letter.
1. Through listening,stuents can get the main idea of it.
2. Through skanning,they can answer datailed questions.
3. Through intensive reading in groups , they can understand the whole text and make use of the important points
4. Through writing, they can develop their writing abilities and imagination.
Fifth,learning method
In the activity-based learning,I’ll use different kinds of activities,eg.class work, group work ,and individual work. Because the activities are of different levels of difficulties. Some can be completed by individuls ,such as the listening ,because the question is made easy to answer in order to arouse students’ interests. Others are difficult, such as the intensive reading of the text and finding out the important and difficult points.
Sixth,teaching aids
In this lestudentson,I will use mult-media.Through it ,we can give students a real world where they can feel by themselves.Also I’ll use a tape player,it can give students a chance to read and speak like the player and it also can improve their listening ability.
