教學設計和教學反思

本課是一節聽力課，材料中的生詞較多，學生對于京劇這個話題又不是很熟悉，加上本身基礎又不是很好。完成練習的難度很大。

為了解決這個難題，保證學生在聽力之前有足夠的語言輸入，同時為了提高學生對京劇這個話題的興趣，我在課前導入時先放了一段京劇，在學生欣賞京劇片段的同時，提醒他們注意京劇的唱腔特點和演員的服裝，使他們對于京劇先有一點感性的認識，然后我又提供一段材料讓他們加深對京劇文化的理解。接下來設計了一個配對的練習。考查學生對 京劇角色的認識。對于聽力中出現的大量生詞，我用圖片的形式很直觀地讓學生有了一個了解。接下來又設計了一個選詞完成句子的練習，考查學生對生詞的理解。在以上所有準備完成之后，才讓學生開始聽力練習，當然，在這之前，根據新教改的要求，我特地又帶他們回顧了一遍他們所學習的聽力策略，并要求他們在聽力過程中運用聽力策略。

由于準備很充分，學生能夠順利地完成本課的教學任務，我也圓滿地達成了教學目標。只是后來學生反應在放映京劇唱段時若能夠把曲詞呈現出來會更好，因為有些學生說沒有聽懂曲詞。還有在檢查學生的課后作業時我發現，作文的難度偏大，或許我應該在讓學生寫這篇作文時給他們提供更多的語言支持，把必要的詞匯呈現出來。或者讓他們分小組討論以后再寫，最好我應該給他們一篇范文以供他們參考，這樣學生可能就不會覺得這篇作文無從下手了。
