第二篇：小學英語課文教學

小學英語課文教學

課文教學是小學英語教學的重點。傳統的小學英語課文教學的共性特征集中表現為“講讀”。“講讀式”的小學英語課文教學注重英語語言知識。特別是語法知識的講授和灌輸。“講讀式”的小學英語課文教學有其可取之處，它或許可以使小學生的語言知識掌握的較為扎實年，也有利于小學生根據所學的語法知識生成若干完全符合英語語法的句子。但是，由于這種教法過于強調語法知識的傳授和學生所輸出的英語色規(guī)范性，他在教學目標和教學要求上也就不可避免的帶有較大的片面性，甚至背離了小學英語教學的宗旨，不利于促進小學生樂于開口說英語，也不利于促進小學生生動，活潑，自主和全面的發(fā)展。如何促進小學生樂于開口說英語，如何促進小學生生動，活潑，自主和全面的發(fā)展，我覺得要從以下四個步驟入手： 一．預習課文遵循要求

學生要掌握好教師所教的知識，就必須做好課前的預習工作。有些學生，教師在講臺上講得繪聲繪色生動感人，他們在臺下卻不知所云。這些學生，因為沒有做好課前的預習，因此聽課效果極差。相反，有些學生課前預習做得好，在課堂上就能質疑問難，大膽發(fā)言，積極參與。這樣，在學習中的主體作用得到充分發(fā)揮，聽課效果就能達到最佳狀態(tài)。做好課前預習不僅能提高聽課效果，而且能培養(yǎng)學生的自學能力。學生在預習中不僅要動口、動腦，還要動手。他們要通過默讀或朗讀來了解課文內容，要自己動腦筋完成預習提示或教師所提出的具體要求。在這一過程中，學生的自學能力得到了培養(yǎng)。所以教師在課前要布置好預習工作，針對課文內容提出預習的要求，而不是只是隨口說一下：“回去預習課文，明天上新課。”這樣就達不到預習課文的效果。我們一定要根據這些具體要求，有的放矢地進行預習，預習才會有效。預習課文我們可以從以下幾個方面著手：首先通讀課文，發(fā)現課文中不懂的單詞并作好記號，在后面的單詞表里尋找，理解其意思;其次是找出新的句型，試圖理解它的結構;最后再次朗讀課文，解決老師提出的要求。二．呈現課文形式多樣

預習只是讓學生有個初步得了解，讓學生知道我們要學什么新課。教授課文的過程才是最為重要的。英語課文教學要有整體性，逐字逐句地進行語法結構分析，以灌輸知識為主，把學生當作消極的接收器。這樣做，其實是將語言的兩個不可分割的重要組成部分：形式（即結構）與內容（即意義）人為地割裂開來。一些學生上了幾節(jié)課還不知道該課文說的是怎么回事。新英語教學大綱指出："……課文開始就分段教學，容易產生見樹不見林的毛病，不利于學生掌握課文的中心思想和進行聽、說、讀、寫的訓練。所以英語課文以整體教學為前提，教學的環(huán)節(jié)要清晰，要針對課文設計合理的教學方法，一般我們的英語課文教學可以采取以下幾種方法：（1）“兒歌式”英語課文教學

課文很長，句子又難上口，如果只是采用枯燥的讀單詞，讀句子，讀課文的教學方法，學生肯定會感覺很厭倦，達不到良好的教學效果。如果把課文中難上口的句子在詩歌中呈現出來，學生會更有興趣接受。在詩歌教學中，先把英文用五顏六色的粉筆在黑板上寫出來，有些單詞還可用彩色的單詞圖片代替，再配以有意義的動作或按節(jié)奏擊掌唱歌或讀小詩，讀小詩時還要巧妙的運用升級調來進行朗讀，學生就會被深深的吸引。等到學生熟練掌握歌曲和小詩后，難上口的句子自然而然的就已經上口了，這時再進行課文教學就輕松得多了。

（2）“提問式”英語課文教學

“提問式”英語課文教學是通過提問引出話題`激活學生的現有知識或組織學生預測，然后通過提問給學生布置要回答的問題，組織學生進行聽課文或閱讀課文，尋求問題的答案。帶著問題去聽或閱讀課文，學生有了一定的壓力，會集中精神，專心致志的對待課文，從而更有效的掌握課文。通過提問可以鍛煉學生的口頭交流能力，培養(yǎng)學生解決問題的能力。

（3）“情境式”英語課文教學

英語情境教學能活躍課堂氣氛，激發(fā)學生的學習興趣，鍛煉學生的語言能力。是我們進行小學英語課文的一種常用的方法。我們可以根據課文內容創(chuàng)設真實的情境，使學生有種身臨其境的感覺，學生在真實的情境中更容易進入角色，課堂氣氛也異常活躍，讓學生置身于貼近自己生活的語境中，產生親切感，積極主動地參與課文，如何為課文創(chuàng)設情境，我們可以運用直觀教學手段，電教媒體，改變教學環(huán)境等方法創(chuàng)設情境，這樣學生會自然地進入到課文的情境中去。

三．操練課文有效到位 操練課文的方法也有很多，如運用游戲，比賽等形式進行操練，可以激發(fā)學生的興趣，為了使操練更有效，我們可以分以下三個步驟進行：（1）復述課文。復述課文是培養(yǎng)學生實際運用語言能力和口頭表達能力的最佳方法，是培養(yǎng)學生聽說能力的有效途徑。教師可給出課文中的關鍵詞、短語，要求學生提綱性地口述課文大意。對于有故事情節(jié)、趣味性較強的課文可由學生分別擔任課文中的人物角色，進行表演性復述。還可利用根據課文內容繪制的圖片、圖表、實物等引導學生復述。

（2）師生問答。將全班同學分成若干組，根據課文內容，學生以小組互相問答，也可在全班由教師、學生共同提問題進行問答。在了解、熟悉課文內容的基礎上師生進行這樣的練習，不僅使學生復習、鞏固詞匯、句型、語法知識，同時也使口語、聽力訓練變得簡單、易懂，學生學習英語的興趣、積極性和自信心大為增強。

（3）書面練習。在對學生進行聽力、口語、閱讀能力培養(yǎng)的同時，還應對他們進行一定量的筆頭訓練。該項訓練既要考慮有利于復習鞏固本課知識，又要考慮練習題具有綜合性、新穎性、靈活性的特點。如可做些選擇填空、句型轉換、完形填空、改錯練習等。此外寫日記、小短文也是不可缺少的書面練習。四 背誦課文準確及時

我要求學生在新授完英語課文后準確及時的背誦，在應試教育已經成為過去，素質教育占領主陣地的今天，讓學生背誦課文是否有違素質教育的要求？我覺得不是如此，背誦課文有很多好處。首先課文背誦必須要在熟讀課文基礎上進行，必須牢記課文中新單詞的發(fā)音，準確背誦課文有利于學生掌握新單詞和新句型。背誦課文同時也可以培養(yǎng)學生良好的語感，所謂熟能生巧，在對話過程中學生會吐口而出用英語進行交流，提高了學生的英語口語水平。背誦課文要及時，不及時背誦很快會忘記課文的內容，某些新單詞的發(fā)音也會忘記，這樣就會增加背誦的難度，只有在剛教完后趁熱打鐵才能快速準確的背誦課文。當然要求學生背誦課文也要講究方法，只是讓學生去背誦課文，學生會很厭煩。現在的小學生好勝心都很強，我們可以針對這一點采取激勵的方法要求學生背誦課文，如果誰先會背，背得準確、流利，誰就能得到獎勵，這樣學生會積極踴躍的背誦課文。

總之，教師在英語課文教學中，應讓學生自主參與，充分地接受聽、說、讀、寫的訓練，充分調動學生的學習積極性，培養(yǎng)他們的學習興趣，這樣他們實際運用語言的能力自然會得到提高。

第三篇：初中語文文言文課文《出師表》教學設計方案終稿

初中語文文言文課文《出師表》教學設計方案終稿

教學內容：《出

師

表》

教學目標

1、理清作者的寫作思路，把握文章結構特點。

2、領會文章融議論、記敘、抒情為一體的寫法。

3、重新認識諸葛亮，并了解其政治主張。課時安排 3課時。

教學內容和步驟

第一課時

一、導入新課（播放歌曲）《三國演義》主題歌——《滾滾長江東逝水》。讀過《三國演義》的人都知道，這闕《臨江仙》是這部著作的開篇詞。但這首詞作者并不是羅貫中，而是明朝中葉的文學大家楊慎。羅貫中是從楊慎那里抄來的嗎？不是，羅貫中為元末明初人，而楊慎是明朝中期人。最初《三國演義》開篇并沒有此《臨江仙》，是清初毛宗崗父子將其移植在卷首，不管怎么移植，我們都相信羅貫中和楊慎兩老人家都不會有意見。就像被羅貫中演義神化的諸葛亮，老諸葛也很樂意，可憐他的一片忠心能流芳百世，老羅有很大的功勞，只不過老羅演義，內容可信度不高，真正值得信賴的文字還算是老諸葛本人的《出師表》，今天我們就來學習諸葛亮的這篇經典名作。

二、背景知識

1、本文的學習目標；

2、作者簡介；

3、時代背景；

4、標題。

4、請學生快速閱讀第一段，思考：

作者指出當時的形勢如何？值此“危急存亡之秋”，內外大臣表現如何？內外大臣如此，作者希望國君又當如何？由此得出作者提出的第一條建議是什么？

點撥：（請學生引用課本的話回答）“先帝創(chuàng)業(yè)未半而中道崩殂，今天下三分，益州疲弊”；“侍衛(wèi)之臣不懈于內，忠志之士忘身于外者”；“開張圣聽，以光先帝遺德，恢弘志士之氣，不宜妄自菲薄”；“開張圣聽”或“廣開言路”。

四、課堂小結：

這堂課我們主要了解了作者以及寫作的時代背景，重點分析了課文第一段，初步了解諸葛亮請求出師的原因——蜀國危急存亡。通過正反對比分析，給劉禪提出第一條建議——要廣開言路。

五、布置作業(yè)。

濟大事人為本，今日四方靡騁，愿佑茲蜀部遺黎——過廳對聯 三顧頻煩天下計，兩朝開濟老臣心。

出師未捷身先死，長使英雄淚滿襟。----杜甫《蜀相》 出師一表真名世，千載誰堪伯仲中間。-------陸游《書憤》

六、小結。

封建社會推崇諸葛亮，或由于他助劉興漢是正統，或由于他受了知遇，一生盡忠，是忠臣的典型。人們今天肯定諸葛亮，主要是因為他是一個杰出的政治家、軍事家，對于他的“忠”，我們應當賦予新的內容。例如《后出師表》中說的“鞠躬盡瘁，死而后已”，現在已被賦予全心全意為人民服務的新義。

七、布置作業(yè)

1．背誦有關諸葛亮的詩句。

2．以“我眼中的諸葛亮”為題寫一篇小作文 附1：戲說《出師表》

阿斗，你亮叔我跟你講幾句：你爹當年出來混，半道上就給掛了，現在地盤又分成三塊了，益州好像咱也罩不住了，這世道眼瞅著要杯具了。但是你爸留下的保鏢還很忠心啊，出去砸場的那些二桿子也都不想要命了，這些都是看在你爸往日給錢的份上，現在想報答罷了。叔現在就希望你放機靈點，完成你爹的遺愿，讓兄弟們也揚眉吐氣，千萬不要把自己當成不值錢的蔥，把弟兄們的心給憋屈了。

附2：教學反思

《出師表》是一篇上書言事的應用文，也是實用性很強的議論文。其中關于修明政治所作的闡述，對后世很有借鑒意義。這篇文章的寫作風格卻又與我們通常所理解的應用文迥異，作者以懇切的言辭，表達了真摯厚重的感情。多數學生是喜歡這篇課文的。除文中少數語句必須由教師解釋外，絕大部分語句可以讓學生對照注解，相互啟發(fā)，自行弄清大意。但文章內容上的重點到底是什么，學生往往把握不住；對于諸葛亮是怎樣突出他的論述重點的，學生更難以體會得深刻。因此，在教學過程中應該把課文的重點、難點化成若干足以啟迪學生思維的問題，并把這些問題按合理的順序編排，進而把學生的閱讀思考活動導向深人。

在教學預案中我把課時幾種在課文段落理解上，但結合新課標對語文教學“以讀為主”的要求和中考考點，為了培養(yǎng)學生的綜合能力，在最終的教學設計上，我還是增加了更多的學生自學閱讀以及豐富的課外知識，比如第三課時的古文通假字古今詞義專門劃出來講，就是為了讓學生對于這些常見的古文詞語有更深刻的理解，達到舉一反三的效果，又例如，在第三課時適當的增加了課外拓展的訓練，極大的激發(fā)了學生的學習文言文課堂興趣同時豐富了學生的語文綜合知識，這些都是極有利的。全班交流譯文的時候，學生譯文還是基本通順的。因為時間緊，我沒有對一些重要詞作重點講解，可能有些詞學生沒理解，就過去了。這一點，在以后的教學中要多加注意。

第四篇：英語課文（模版）

Unit1 One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do.The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor.Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired;there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity.American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge;on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case.There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present.And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West.When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent(the “Standing on the shoulders of giants” phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this:

Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills? Unit2 Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have.My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles.But it is still dependable.My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing.My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors.My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.In spite of what I don’t have, I don’t feel poor.Why? I’ve enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years.It’s not just that I’ve been illness-free, it’s that I feel vigorous and spirited.Exercising is actually fun for me.I look forward to long, energizing walks.And I love the “can do” attitude that follows.I also cherish the gift of creativity.When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside.I’m continually surprised at the insights that come through my writing process.And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.Unit4 I’d never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours.I’d never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company.I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world.I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven’t fled New York City.I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week.I arrange interviews for stories, doctor’s appointments — anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much.I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable — the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable.I make my excuses and flee.I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune.I enter my password.The real world disappears.Unit5 The runway felt different this time.It startled him for a brief moment.Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay.The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best.That’s only one inch off the National record, he thought.The intensity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety.He began shaking the tension.It wasn’t working.He became more tense.Why was this happening to him now, he thought.He began to get nervous.Afraid would be a more accurate description.What was he going to do? He had never experienced these feelings.Then out of nowhere, and from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother.Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple.His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths.So he did.Along with shaking the tension from his legs, he gently laid his pole at his feet.He began to stretch out his arms and upper body.The light breeze that was once there was now gone.He carefully picked up his pole.He felt his heart pounding.He was sure the crowd did, too.The silence was deafening.When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6 Why are we so quick to limit ourselves? I’m not denying that most little girls love dolls and most little boys love videogames, and it may be true that some people favor the right side of their brain, and others the left.But how relevant is that to me, or to anyone，as

an

individual?

Instead of translating our differences into hard and fast conclusions about the human brain, why can’t we focus instead on how incredibly flexible we are? Instead of using what we know as a reason why women can’t learn physics, maybe we should consider the possibility that our brains are more powerful than we imagine.Here’s a secret: math and science don’t come easily to most people.No one was ever born knowing calculus.A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and that takes a leap of faith.It also helps to have selective hearing.Unit7 Two centuries ago an English judge in India noticed that several words in Sanskrit closely resembled some words in Greek and Latin.A systematic study revealed that many modern languages descended from a common parent language, lost to us because nothing was written down.Identifying similar words, linguists have come up with what they call an Indo-European parent language, spoken until 3500 to 2000 B.C.These people had common words for snow, bee and wolf but no word for sea.So some scholars assume they lived somewhere in north-central Europe, where it was cold.Traveling east, some established the languages of India and Pakistan, and others drifted west toward the gentler climates of Europe.Some who made the earliest move westward became known as the Celts, whom Caesar’s armies found in Britain.New words came with the Germanic tribes — the Angles, the Saxons, etc.— that slipped across the North Sea to settle in Britain in the 5th century.Together they formed what we call Anglo-Saxon society.The Anglo-Saxons passed on to us their farming vocabulary, including sheep, ox, earth, wood, field and work.They must have also enjoyed themselves because they gave us the word laughter Unit8 There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields.In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of colour that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines.Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the autumn mornings.Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wild flowers, delighted the traveller’s eye through much of the year.Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow.The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and autumn people travelled from great distances to observe them.Others came to fish the streams，which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout lay.So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells and built their barns.

A day at school By Sam

I am a junior high school student.I love going to school.My school is close to my home,so I always go to school on foot.Classes start at 8 a.m,and I am seldom late.My favourite subject is Geography.I enjoy learning about different places in the world.In the morning,we usually study Chinese, Maths and English.We have our morning break at 9:50am.When the bell rings,I run to the playground with my best friends Tom and Jack.We often play games.Break ends at 10:10 a.m.How short it is!Lunch is from 11:50a.m.to 12:30 p.m.Afternoon classes end at 3:30p.m.Then Tom,Jack and I take part in the school band practice.We make great music together.I always have a good time at school.Protect the Earth The Earth is a beautiful place.There are forests and rivers,mountains and fields.Some places are very hot，and some are very cold。There are many different plants.Some are large.Some are small.All plants need light and water.There are different animals on Earth too.Some live on the land.Some fly in the sky.Some live under the water.There are also many people like you and me on Earth.The Earth provides us with air，water and food.It is our home.Today，there is a lot of pollution.We burn things to make energy.This pollutes the air.We put our rubbish into the sea and under the ground.This pollutes the Earth and kills animals and plants.We must stop doing these things.It is important for us to protect the Earth for our future.The four seasons Spring In spring, the weather starts to get warm.The wind blows gently.It often rains.Plants start to grow.Everything turns green.It is exciting to take a trip in spring.Summer The weather is hot in summer.The Sun shines brightly.Many people like to go to the beach and swim in the sea.It is nice to eat ice cream in the hot weather.Autumn In autumn, everything changes.Leaves turn brown, red or yellow and start falling from the trees.It is nice to go on a picnic at this time of year because the weather is cool and dry.Winter Winter is often cold and snowy.Children love winter because they love to play in the snow.It is interesting to make snowmen.People usually spend time with their relatives during the Spring Festival.A trip to space By Jerry 10 October 2053 I am so happy!Tomorrow I will be one of the first students to travel into space.The spaceship will leave the Earth at 9 a.m.It will take us to the Moon.I can't wait!The Moon is around380000kilometres from the Earth,so it'll take us about four days to get there.There's no gravity in space,so we'll all be able to float around in the spaceship.We'll have to tie ourselves to our beds so that we won't float away in our sleep!Without gravity,our bodies may get weak ,so we'll have to do exercises every day.When we arrive,I'm going to walk on the Moon.I'll have to wear a spacesuit to help me breathe because there's no air on the Moon.I'm going to take as many photos as I can,that is ,if my camera still works up there......Visiting Shanghai

Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world.If you like sightseeing, you will love it!People’s Square

People’s Square is in the centre of Shanghai.It is a large public area with green grass, fountains and birds.If you visit People’s Square, you can also see famous buildings around it, such as the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Museum.The Bund

The Bund is where old Shanghai meets new Shanghai.If you walk along the Bund, you will see many old buildings.The Pudong New Area, just across the Huangpu River, has many modern buildings.At night, these tall buildings light up the sky in every direction.Yu Garden

Yu Garden is a traditional garden.If you enjoy history and natural beauty, you will love this garden.There are many beautiful buildings, bridges and ponds.You can also buy different snacks just outside the garden.The clubs fair Linda and Leo are new students at Rosie Bridge School.Last month, they attended the Clubs Fair.First, Linda and Leo learnt about the Rocket Club.“Our club will teach you how to build rockets.Then you can launch them into the sky,” a boy said.“Watch!” He took a rocket and launched it.The rocket disappeared into the sky.Linda and Leo were very surprised.“Will it go all the way into space?” Linda asked.“Of course it won’t,” a girl from another club shouted.“Our club is better.Come and join the Solar Power Club.”

“What do you do?” asked Leo.“We make wonderful machines.They only use solar power.Look!”

She took a toy car from the table and then used a remote control to drive it all around the playground.“It uses power from the Sun,” said Linda.“That’s amazing!”

Linda and Leo learnt about many clubs.After the fair, they felt very excited.“I want to join all the clubs,” said Linda.“Me too!” said Leo.Unusual collections Sam and Helen's grandparents collect almost everything.There are eight doorbells on their front door!“This silver doorbell is my favourite,” said Helen.She pushed it and and soon Grandpa opened the door.“Come in,my dear grandson and granddaughter!”he said.“Who started collecting doorbells,Grandpa? ”asked Sam.“Your grandma,” he answered.“She loves doorbells.” “What do you like collecting,Grandpa?” asked Helen.“I like collecting newspapers.” They went inside and saw newspapers everywhere.“Hello children!”called Grandma.“Let's have some tea.” The children followed her into the living room and saw lots of toys there.There was hardly any space for the children to sit down.“Whose toys are these?” asked Helen.“They're ours,” said Grandma.“We both like collecting toys.” “But remember,” said Grandpa,"we have a lot of free time!You have your school work to do,so you shouldn't
