第二篇：七年級英語下冊Unit5教學設計

七年級英語下冊Unit5教學設計 課標分析：

在九級目標體系中，一至五級為義務教育階段的目標要求，其中，二級為小學6年級結(jié)束時應達到的基本要求，五級為9年級結(jié)束時應達到的要求。而對于我們七年級，應達到的目標為三級。

總體上來說，七年級的學生應該對英語學習表現(xiàn)出積極性和初步的自信心。能聽懂有關熟悉話題的語段和簡短的故事。能與教師或同學就熟悉的話題（如學校、家庭生活）交換信息。能讀懂小故事及其他文體的簡單書面材料。能用短語或句子描述系列圖片，編寫簡單的故事。能根據(jù)提示簡要描述一件事情，參與簡單的角色表演等活動。能嘗試使用適當?shù)膶W習方法，克服學習中遇到的困難。能意識到語言交際中存在的文化差異。

一、教材分析

本單元是Go for it(下)Unit 5。主要圍繞“What are you doing?”這一主題展開各種教學活動,并以這一主題引出現(xiàn)在進行時的一般疑問句,否定句以及特殊疑問句等語言功能。本單元旨在創(chuàng)造一個輕松、愉快的學習、交流環(huán)境,通過聽、說、讀、寫來培養(yǎng)學生綜合運用這些知識的能力。并讓學生能在“做中學”(learning by doing),通過有限的課堂實踐活動,注意觀察別人的行動,能準確地用英語來表達。

SectionA 1a--1c部分是本單元的第一課時,這一課時通過常見的一些動詞短語引出現(xiàn)在進行時的教學,學好本課對以后的SectionB部分的學習起了很好的鋪墊作用。

二、教學目標 1.語言目標

1)短語和單詞doing homework, watching TV, cleaning, eating dinner, reading a book, talking on the phone, apartment 2)句型結(jié)構(gòu)

What are you doing?I'm watching TV.What's he/she doing? He/She's reading.What are they doing ? They're watching TV.3)語法The structure of the Present Progressive Tense The present participle 2.語言技能

1)能用現(xiàn)在進行時的各種形式進行準確的描述和表達正在發(fā)生的動作。2)能掌握現(xiàn)在進行時態(tài)及一些表示具體動作的詞組搭配,如:doing homework, watching TV, eating dinner? 等。

3、學習策略

通過本節(jié)課的教學,我要求學生能通過觀察別人的行為和活動時能用現(xiàn)在進行時來準確地表達所發(fā)生或進行的動作。

4、情感態(tài)度

通過對本單元的任務性活動,我的目的是能培養(yǎng)培養(yǎng)學生學習英語的強烈興趣,樂于參加各種活動的積極情感,樂于合作,培養(yǎng)學生團結(jié)合作的精神。

5、文化意識

了解西方人是如何表達或描述正在進行的動作。

三、教學的重、難點 基于上述對教材的分析,我確定本單元的教學重點為詞匯、詞組搭配和現(xiàn)在進行時的用法。

教學難點為現(xiàn)在進行時中現(xiàn)在分詞的結(jié)構(gòu)及讀音,能在交際中準確地運用現(xiàn)在進行時來描述或表達正在進行的動作。

四、學情分析

我所教學的對象是初一學生(以中等生為主),對英語普遍感興趣,但有很大的不穩(wěn)定性,好奇心強,求知欲旺盛,他們學習英語既感到好奇又擔憂,希望能得到他人的肯定。因此我在教學活動中盡量讓他們參與到活動中來,有更多的機會來說英語,減少他們的恐懼感,通過學生間的合作學習,降低他們的學習難度,使他們體驗到成功的喜悅。提高他們綜合運用語言的能力,使各層次的學生都有所收獲。

五、教學過程設計 Step 1 Greeting Step2 Revision What do you(does he/she)do? What do you(does he/she)want to be?Why?(通過復習一般現(xiàn)在時的句型結(jié)構(gòu)為下面的現(xiàn)在進行時的學習起一個比較的作用。)Step3 Presentation 1.Listen to a song(聽一首活潑愉快的歌曲,既能激發(fā)學生的學習興趣,又能順利地過渡到現(xiàn)在進行時的學習)2.Lead out the new phrases and target languages.(Show some pictures on the screen and ask some students to perform the actions.)eg.T: What are you doing ? S: I am doing homework.(Help him/her to answer)T:What is he /she doing ? Ss: He /she is doing homework.Teach : watching TV,cleaning reading a book, eating dinner, talking on the phone...as the same way.(通過多媒體課件顯示和學生的親自表演,目的是讓學生在真實情景中學習短語和感受出現(xiàn)在進行時的結(jié)構(gòu)和用法。)Step 4 Practice 1.Ask and answer in pairs: What is he/ she doing? He/She’s...2.Groupwork A:What are you doing ? B: I am doing homework.A:What is he/ she doing ? C:He/ She's doing homework.(我設計的任務是要求三個學生為一小組, 進行問答練習。這樣的活動既可以培養(yǎng)學生的合作意識,又能在情景中用現(xiàn)在進行時交際,鞏固了本節(jié)課的重點,從而突破了難點,促使學生在學習過程中學會細心觀察。)3.The structure of present progressive tense and the present participle.(讓學生觀察句子和現(xiàn)在分詞形式分別總結(jié)出現(xiàn)在進行時的結(jié)構(gòu)和怎么給動詞加ing,培養(yǎng)學生的觀察能力和歸納能力。)Step 5 Practice 1a and 1c 1.Match the words with the people in the pictures in Section A(1a)2.Pairwork, ask and answer questions about the pictures.Ask some pairs to act out their conversations.(1c)Step 6 Listening 1b 接下來的任務型聽力要求學生對動作作出反應,教師可承接剛開始的話題,引導學生根據(jù)所學語言完成以下任務: 1.What are the people doing? 2.Write numbers from 1a below.3.Check the answers in pairs like this: A: What is Jenny doing? B: He is watching TV.A: What are Dave and Mary doing? B: They are eating dinner.A: What is John doing? B: He is doing homework.(通過聽力訓練,現(xiàn)在進行時的結(jié)構(gòu)得以很好的落實)Step 7 Guessing game(在大組之間進行競賽性的游戲活動,能促進學生的競爭意識和學習英語的積極性。)Step 8 Make a survey Step9 Make a report Hello!Everyone!I am a reporter from?(通過做調(diào)查和做報告的形式,考查學生對語言知識的運用和口頭表達能力。運用獎勵的機制,給表現(xiàn)好的同學發(fā)小禮物。)Step 10 Make a song(利用所學的目標語編歌曲,實現(xiàn)跨學科之間的知識整合,激發(fā)學生學習英語的興趣,并且獎勵優(yōu)秀歌手。)Step 11 Exercises(筆頭及時考查學生掌握知識的情況。)Step 12 Summary and Homework 1.Blackboard design 2.Recite and copy the new words and target languages.3.Draw a picture of A.your school B.a park C.a club D.a zoo then talk about “What are they doing

板書設計

Unit 5 I’m watching TV.(Section A 1a-1c)doing homework What are you doing ? watching TV I am watching TV.cleaning What is he/she doing? eating dinner He/She is reading.talking on the phone 現(xiàn)在進行時結(jié)構(gòu): 主語 + am/ is / are+ 動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞

六、課后反思

本課時學生參與面廣, 不同層次的學生均有所獲。基礎較差學生能運用所學句型進行簡單的交際練習。英語能力較強的學生則進行了大量的游戲、做報告、編歌曲等口頭練習,語言能力拓展達到一定深度和廣度。

通過本節(jié)課的教學實踐,我認識到教學成功與否,學生掌握程度如何,關建在于教師如何創(chuàng)造性地設計課堂教學。任務的設計要體現(xiàn)多樣化和層次感;面對不同的學生群體,任務的難度系數(shù)(深度)是可以調(diào)控的;而面對同一群體里的不同程度的學生,教師可以在任務設置時注意不同角色的設定,做到有針對性,使每一層面的學生皆有所得。教師要有意識地積極引導學生以教材上的簡單東西為媒介向他們熟悉的生活發(fā)散開去,大膽地用英語去了解生活中的各類簡單事物,解決生活中的各種簡單事情。教師要善于活化教材,對其精加工, 在給定的語言材料基礎上進行適度挖掘和拓展,使其更好服務于教學目的。

第三篇：七年級英語下冊Unit5教學設計

七年級英語下冊Unit5教學設計

天津市薊縣

一、教材分析及設計思路

通過國培英語的學習，結(jié)合專題14關于《英語學習中的文化意識與情感態(tài)度》的內(nèi)容，我試著對 Unit 5進行教學設計。本單元主要圍繞“What are you doing?”這一主題展開各種教學活動，并以這一主題引出現(xiàn)在進行時的一般疑問句，否定句以及特殊疑問句等語言功能。本單元旨在創(chuàng)造一個輕松、愉快的學習、交流環(huán)境，通過聽、說、讀、寫來培養(yǎng)學生綜合運用這些知識的能力。并讓學生能在“做中學”(learning by doing),通過有限的課堂實踐活動，注意觀察別人的行動,能準確地用英語來表達。

二、教學目標

1.語言目標

1)短語和單詞doing homework, watching TV, cleaning, eating dinner, reading a book, talking on the phone, apartment

2)句型結(jié)構(gòu)

What are you doing?I'm watching TV.What's he/she doing? He/She's reading.What arethey doing ? They're watching TV.3)語法The structure of the Present Progressive Tense

The present participle

2.語言技能

1)能用現(xiàn)在進行時的各種形式進行準確的描述和表達正在發(fā)生的動作。

2)能掌握現(xiàn)在進行時態(tài)及一些表示具體動作的詞組搭配，如：doing homework, watching TV, eating dinner? 等。

3、學習策略

通過本節(jié)課的教學,我要求學生能通過觀察別人的行為和活動時能用現(xiàn)在進行時來準確地表達所發(fā)生或進行的動作。

4、情感態(tài)度

通過對本單元的任務性活動，我的目的是能培養(yǎng)培養(yǎng)學生學習英語的強烈興趣,樂于參加各種活動的積極情感,樂于合作，培養(yǎng)學生團結(jié)合作的精神。

5、文化意識

了解西方人是如何表達或描述正在進行的動作。

三、教學的重、難點

基于上述對教材的分析,我確定本單元的教學重點為詞匯、詞組搭配和現(xiàn)在進行時的用法。

教學難點為現(xiàn)在進行時中現(xiàn)在分詞的結(jié)構(gòu)及讀音,能在交際中準確地運用現(xiàn)在進行時來描述或表達正在進行的動作。

四、學情分析

我所教學的對象是初一學生(以中等生為主),對英語普遍感興趣,但有很大的不穩(wěn)定性,好奇心強,求知欲旺盛,他們學習英語既感到好奇又擔憂,希望能得到他人的肯定。因此我在教學活動中盡量讓他們參與到活動中來,有更多的機會來說英語,減少他們的恐懼感，通過學生間的合作學習，降低他們的學習難度,使他們體驗到成功的喜悅。提高他們綜合運用語言的能力,使各層次的學生都有所收獲。

五、教學方法

1、教法分析

1、現(xiàn)在進行時是學生剛剛接觸的一種新的語法項目,而本單元的話題源自生活，立足這一點，我充分利用學生已有的知識和生活經(jīng)驗，創(chuàng)設生活化的真實情境引導學生在運用語言中學習語言，然后在學習新的語言知識后創(chuàng)造性地運用語言。

2、開展多種類型的任務型活動，如小組表演、游戲、編歌曲等提供給學生合作交流的空間和時間，促使學生為完成任務和同學進行合作，為完成任務進行探究性學習。

2、學法指導

新制定的《英語課程標準》把“培養(yǎng)學生學習英語的興趣，樹立自信心，培養(yǎng)良好學習習慣和形成有效策略，發(fā)展自主學習和合作精神”放在了首位。依據(jù)課改的精神，我從以下幾個方面對學生進行學法指導。

1、學習方法的指導

培養(yǎng)學生觀察力,想象力,記憶力以及思維能力。用生動的課件調(diào)動學生的感官進行聽說讀寫的訓練。

2、學習積極性的調(diào)動

我在教學過程中創(chuàng)造一種開放的,和諧的,積極互動的語言氛圍,把課堂變成有聲有色的舞臺,讓學生在樂中學。

3、學習能力的培養(yǎng)

通過連貫的聽說讀寫,游戲競賽等,培養(yǎng)學生的交際能力,發(fā)展他們的思維能力。

4、學習策略的指導

本節(jié)課將在課堂活動中讓學生圍繞著課堂任務在小組中分工合作，在活動中相互探討、相互交流、相互合作，從而獲得知識、技能和情感體驗，發(fā)展他們的能力。創(chuàng)建開放式,探究式的課堂，有意識滲透學習策略的訓練。我讓學生觀察課件畫面，回答問題，讓學生學會使用認知策略；讓學生表演對話，實現(xiàn)交際策略。

3、教學手段

多媒體輔助:將本課所需要的動畫、錄音、圖片、文字、圖表和音樂制成CAI軟件,使抽象的語言變得直觀，為學生運用英語進行交際創(chuàng)設情景，實現(xiàn)師生互動，生生互動和人機互動的多向交流。

五、教學過程設計

六、課后反思

通過本節(jié)課的教學實踐，我認識到教學成功與否,學生掌握程度如何，關建在于教師如何創(chuàng)造性地設計課堂教學。任務的設計要體現(xiàn)多樣化和層次感；面對不同的學生群體，任務的難度系數(shù)是可以調(diào)控的；而面對同一群體里的不同程度的學生，教師可以在任務設置時注意不同角色的設定，做到有針對性，使每一層面的學生皆有所得。教師要有意識地積極引導學生以教材上的簡單東西為媒介向他們熟悉的生活發(fā)散開去，大膽地用英語去了解生活中的各類簡單事物,解決生活中的各種簡單事情。教師要善于活化教材，對其精加工，在給定的語言材料基礎上進行適度挖掘和拓展，使其更好服務于教學目的。
