鄭素梅

一、教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析

這個(gè)單元的話題是談?wù)撐磥?lái)的生活，呈現(xiàn)了“運(yùn)用一般將來(lái)時(shí)預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)”的語(yǔ)言功能項(xiàng)目。本課例Section B 2a-2e 是一節(jié)閱讀課，談?wù)摰氖俏磥?lái)機(jī)器人發(fā)展的話題。

內(nèi)容及處理方法方面：2a是讀前活動(dòng)，通過(guò)問(wèn)題去了解學(xué)生對(duì)機(jī)器人的認(rèn)知情況。2b是Do you think you will have your own robot？文本閱讀，通過(guò)略讀，讓學(xué)生掌握各段大意和對(duì)文章的整體理解。2c-2d是閱讀理解活動(dòng)，2c通過(guò)細(xì)讀攜取有關(guān)機(jī)器人能干些什么工作的細(xì)節(jié)信息。2d是對(duì)語(yǔ)篇的縮寫，通過(guò)填詞轉(zhuǎn)換文章表達(dá)方式，既加深對(duì)文章的理解，又加強(qiáng)學(xué)生的語(yǔ)用能力。2e是讀后拓展活動(dòng)，讓學(xué)生發(fā)揮想象，對(duì)機(jī)器人的未來(lái)發(fā)展情況進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)，并與同學(xué)展開討論、分享觀點(diǎn)。

二、學(xué)情分析

經(jīng)過(guò)七年級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)，八年級(jí)的學(xué)生已經(jīng)具備一年的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)能力，有一定的聽說(shuō)能力。這個(gè)年齡段的學(xué)生想象力豐富，對(duì)未來(lái)世界充滿好奇，有較強(qiáng)的求知欲。本節(jié)課教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)選取了學(xué)生對(duì)機(jī)器人這個(gè)感興趣的話題展開討論并導(dǎo)入文本閱讀，采用讀前、讀中、讀后的多種閱讀策略滲透的思路，利用思維導(dǎo)圖優(yōu)化閱讀教學(xué)，逐步讓學(xué)生理解文章，加強(qiáng)學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力運(yùn)用。
