教学思路：
本课时的教学内容是冀教版八年级下册英语第七单元的第一课时,主要涉及地理和语言的介绍。在授课之前先让学生自己通过网络懂得或者同学们互相询问去过的地方懂得本课。课上可以通过让学生小组合作的形式进行相互交流;然后教师通过幻灯片、图片向学生展示不同国家的地理环境,并让学生用英语进行介绍。
教学准备：
设计教学PPT,录音机,多媒体,图片和单词卡片。
教学过程：

[设计意图]　运用学生所学的知识,从谈论熟悉的入手进入新内容的学习,运用实物或图片帮助学生学习生词,直观、感性、形象。
StepⅡ.Presentation
If some students feel the conversation is too long,the teacher can divide it into two or three talks.Then ask them to read them in pairs.After a while,ask them to act them out.
(1)Jenny and I have been to China twice.
(2)He has been to every continent except Antarctica.
(3)I can’t wait to go!
(4)My mother has a friend from an island in the Pacific.
(5)Recently,we have learned about the population of the world.
Please pay attention to the long words:Antarctica,recently,Pacific.

StepⅢ.Listening
T:Listen to the tape and answer the questions:
1.What can Jenny learn in geography class?

3.Where has Brian’s father been before?
【Keys】　1.She can learn about rivers,mountains,oceans,countries,cities and the population of the world.　2.Travelling.　3.He has been to every continent except Antarctica.
[设计意图]　加深同学们对整体的掌握,学生们带着问题有目的地倾听,容易把握内容回答问题。
StepⅣ.Post-listening Activities
After listening to the conversations,get the class to read them aloud.
Ss read aloud.Then practice the conversations.Focus on the stressed words,pronunciation and intonation.
[设计意图]　学生训练听力之后,朗读巩固,训练学生的语音语调;再模仿对话,编出自己的对话,培养学生运用目标语言进行交际的能力。

☆教材解读☆
1.Jenny and I have been to China twice.?
句中“have been to+地点”表示“曾经去过某地”,不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。
We have been to Mountain Tai.
我们去过泰山。
【辨析】　have/has been to,have/has gone to,have/has been in
(1)have/has been to表示“曾经去过某地”,说话的时候人已经回来,主要说经历,后面可以接次数,表示去过几次,如once,twice,three times等,也可以和just,never等连用。
She has been to Shanghai twice.
她去过上海两次了。
(2)have/has gone to表示“去某地了”,可能在去的途中,也可能已经到了,主要表达主语不在说话的地方,不能和表示时间段的时间状语连用。
She has gone to Shanghai.她去了上海。
(3)have/has been in表示“待在某地”,主要说主语已经在某地,而且待了一段时间了,后接延续性的时间状语。
She has been in Shanghai for two years.
她在上海待了两年了。
2.He has been to every continent except Antarctica.?
句中except是介词,意思是“除了……之外”,后面一般接名词、代词或者动名词等。
He learns to play guitar every day except Monday.除了周一,他每天都去学吉他。
【辨析】　except,except for,besides
(1)except意思是“除……之外”,是排外的关系,指除去的部分不在整体之内,一般用在同类的事物之中,不能放在句首。
They all like basketball expect Lily.除莉莉外,他们都喜欢篮球。(莉莉不喜欢篮球)
(2)except for 意思是“除……之外”,用来表述一些细节加以补充,一般修饰不同类的事物。
Your story is very interesting except for a few writing mistakes.除了一点书写的错误,你的故事非常有趣。
(3)besides 意思是“除了……之外,还有……”,是包含的关系,除去的部分也算在整体之中。
They all like basketball besides Lily.除莉莉以外,他们也都喜欢篮球。(莉莉也喜欢篮球)
　　3.I can’t wait to go!?
can’t wait to do sth意思是“迫不及待去做某事”,若是后面接名词或者代词,可以用can’t wait for sth。
The children can’t wait to open the gifts.
孩子们迫不及待地打开礼物。
The children can’t wait for the gifts to open.孩子们迫不及待地打开礼物。
【拓展】　类似的结构:can’t help doing sth意思是“情不自禁去做什么”。
He can’t help singing the song.
他情不自禁地唱起歌来。
[设计意图]　学生通过阅读课文,懂得重点内容,并且通过判断正误来巩固对课文的理解和掌握;朗读课文并完成课后练习题2、3,懂得课文重点内容。
StepⅥ.Complete Let’s Do It!
Ask the students to listen to the tape again and answer the questions in No.1,then read the lesson and finish No.2,then fill in the blanks in No.3.
[设计意图]　Let’s Do It!中No.1重点是听力教学,训练学生的听力,No.2主要是阅读教学,回忆了课文的内容,使学生又一次巩固了文中知识,培养了阅读的能力。No.3强调的是文中的重点单词的用法。
StepⅦ.Task
GROUP WORK:Let’s Do It! No.4
Ask students to come to the front of the classroom,and some start walking towards others as the teacher says “go”.They must stop as the teacher says “stop”.Then they can make a new group with the student who is standing in front of him/her.
[设计意图]　No.4的重点是懂得世界上更多的地方,同学们通过随机组合来完成小组合作。以“感兴趣的地方”为话题,提供了一个语境完整、内容丰富的对话,自然呈现本单元的核心句型,为学生进一步输出语言提供了口语示范。
StepⅧ.Exercises
T:Now,look at the sentences with some missing words.Please use proper words to fill them.
1.We　　　　(去过)some cities before.?
2.She hopes to become a singer　　　　(有一天).?
3.Many scientists will come here　　　　(除了)Tom.?

[设计意图]　以学评教、强化落实。当堂检测主要是由本节内容组成的形成性评价,利用已知的信息,让学生补充,让他们得到充分的训练。
StepⅨ.Homework
1. Practice the conversations with your group members after class.
2.Copy the new words twice.
[设计意图]　口头练习和单词记忆相结合,复习、归纳,注重语言知识的操练与积累。
