优点
1.?能够把新课改的教学理念运用到教学中，精心设计了本节课，无论是新课的引入、重难点的把握、教学方法，还是整个教学过程的布局能够凸现学生的主体地位与教师的主导作用。为了激发学生的学习兴趣引入课题采用Groupwork加深理解和记忆。?
2.?能通过创设活动，情景引导学生参与课堂教学；能让学生利用English充分发表自己的见解，训练学生思维及口语能力；能利用多媒体直观教学，对课堂教学起到很好的辅助作用。
二、不足之处：
1.?教材中的活动知识内容可在适当的时候加入教学中，给学有余力的学生学习发展的机会。?
2.?教学过程中可根据学生具体情况，来安排教学任务，如一部分学生完成较好、较快、可以帮助其他学生完成，整体效果会更好。教师教学中需要充分发挥教师的激情，去激发、唤醒学生浓厚的学习兴趣。教学过程中可根据学生完成任务的情况改变学习方法，一部分学生完成较好，可以和其他学生一起互相帮助合作、探究完成，整体效果会更好。??
3．讲授过程中，教师语言要规范。?
4.课堂气氛稍显严肃，学生不够活跃，回答老师问题的学生太局限。?
建议：
1.?应多创设问题情景，引发学生思维、讨论、互动，提高课堂教学效果；
2.?应让学生朗读英语语言，以获得亲自体验、感受；?
3.?应让学生充分发表自己的意见，多鼓励学生，充分调动学生学习的积极；?总之，在传授知识与技能的同时，也要注意过程与方法，情感态度价值观的?体现。
4.?可以给学生更充分的时间讨论，适当控制教学节奏；?
5.?备课要考虑多种因素，上课要灵活，教学评价语言要积极鼓励、丰富。
