Section A(2a-2d) 教学反思
本节课是鲁教版八年级（下）Unit5的一堂新授课，初三年级的学生经过两年的学习，在英语课堂上已经出现倦怠感，如何调动起学生的积极性也是本节课我要面对的一个难题。我在选择本节课的教学内容时充分考虑到中学生所关注的节日，选择贴近学生实际生活的话题内容，如谈论个人爱好的节日及节日中爱干的事情等，激发学生参与真实语言活动的动机，让学生能够在语言学习的过程中更好地体验、实践、参与。使学生在学习过程中不断体验到自己的进步和成功，课堂气氛热烈，并通过小组的评价，令大部分学生都能积极参与到课堂活动中来。同时目标设定、教学过程、评价等方面都突出以学生为主体，并尊重个体差异，让不同层次的学生在本节课上都有所收获。
本节课的话题是“节日”，我编排语言知识的同时，注重激活学生已有的中国传统文化背景知识，并由浅入深地介绍英语国家的文化，培养学生对中西方文化差异的敏感性，寓思想教育于语言教学之中，提高学生对文化差异的鉴别能力，使学生逐步学会在实际情景中恰当而灵活地运用语言。
虽然整节课学生们的表现可圈可点，但由于我对学情分析不够，听力环节的难度还是过高，以致听了两遍，导致最后学生小组展示环节没有做到。是我在今后工作中要努力的方向。
