Unit 5 Visiting the moon Listening&Speaking 教案
Lesson type: Listening and Speaking
Teaching content: Book 7A Unit 5 Listening:
The Space Hotel Lesson length: 40 minutes ?
Text analysis:
The text is a typical introduction of a place. It includes six main facilities in the space hotel with detail information about what people can do and when people can have fun there. The listening text is closely connected to grammar, writing and more practice in the following lessons. It also paves the way for the grammar lesson, as future tense will is used. Besides, with the purpose of inviting people to visit the hotel, attractive language is applied in the text, such as “Welcome to…”, “You’ll love…”, “…is the best place to….”, “You’ll find…”, “Enjoy…” etc.
I will organize the lesson into a task cycle—listening about how to introduce a place and designing and presenting a dream place orally. During the task cycle, students will practice listening skills—listen for general and specific information and oral skills—describe a place by imitating the example and using appropriate language. ?
Students analysis:
Firstly, students in Junior One tend to be active and are willing to explore the unknown knowledge. However, they may not be used to working in groups and completing tasks in English, so I will organize the lesson into a competition of group work and guide them to fulfill the tasks step by step. Secondly, students in Junior One have learnt simple present tense in previous units and have known about simple future tense in primary school, but they are not familiar with the topic “space”, thus I will lead in background knowledge and broaden their thoughts by showing videos, pictures and spidergrams. ?

a. Introduce a place by describing the facilities and working hours and using appropriate language.
