教学思路:
本课时的教学内容是冀教版七年级英语下册第三单元的第六课时,重点在于引导学生了解中国的学校和西方国家的学校的不同的授课模式,从表示“在中国教学”的词开始,导入中西方国家不同的授课模式的话题。以了解中国的学校和西方国家的学校的不同的授课模式作为任务引起学生的兴趣,训练学生如何用英语描述中国和西方的教学模式的不同之处。利用动作、手势和图片学习英语单词,同时在文章中反复运用一般现在时、一般过去时和There be句型。因此,教师可以将知识目标定为掌握本课时新出现的词和短语,如何用英语描述中国的学校和西方国家的学校的不同的授课模式。情感目标定为学生能学会用英语写电子邮件。通过学习这篇电子邮件,了解如何用英语描述中国的学校和西方国家的学校的不同的授课模式,培养学生根据语境,合理推断语境中的逻辑关系,提高逻辑思维能力。通过阅读文章,了解中国人善良、诚实的高尚品质,增强学生的民族自豪感。
教学准备:
