"He will give something wonderful to the world," he said. Beethoven met Haydn in 1791, but was not impressed by the older man. After they had known each other for many years, Beethoven said, "He is a good composer, but he has taught me nothing." However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.Beethoven became very popular in the Austrian capital and stayed there for the rest of his life.

【教学反思】(或【教学设计说明】)
评析与反思:
1、本单元主要采用新课标提倡的任务性教学,整个教学过程让学生积极主动地探究,生动活泼地发展。群体性主体参与率较高,创新性思维活跃,使学生真正获得了自主学习的成功乐趣。整个教学过程的突出特点是精心创设情境,促进学生主动发展。
2、课堂活动的主要组织形式是小组合作学习。教师根据教学内容的特点精心设计了小组合作学习的“问题”,为学生提供适当的、带有一定挑战性的学习任务,把学生领近了“最近发展区”。小组活动给了学生自主、合作的机会,目能培养学生团体的合作和竞争意识,发展交往与审美的能力,在促进学生间的情感交流、互帮互学、共同提高,发挥学生学习的主动性方面起着积极的作用。
3、教学目标达成较好。特别是在知识目标与情感目标达成方面,学习策略还需在平时的教学中进一步加强与提高。
4、多媒体辅助教学较恰当,效果较好。课件中直观、形象生动的图片、录像、音效等的出现,帮助学生迅速融入课文故事情景,从而更好地理解文章旨意,使语言输入变得有意义。
5、任务设计较新颖,与学生的生活经历与兴趣相联系,能激发学生用语言做事的内驱力。但由于学生与教师是初次见面,需要一个磨合期,而本节课的学生活动较多,因此,在教学时间上显得较仓促。
6、文章中出现了较多的新词汇,学生虽然能通过上下文猜测出部分词汇的意思,但仍有一部分词汇对于学生而言有难度,若能在教学环节中穿插学习词汇的一个环节,相信效果会更好。
