9A Unit 2 Colours—Welcome to the unit The rainbow
Ⅸ Teaching reflection
本课在设计时突出体现了Welcome课型激发学生学习兴趣的教学目标。用有趣的彩虹视频导入,使学生感到非常新奇,注意力被充分吸引到课堂上来。在教学过程中,同样引入了多种形式的呈现方式。多种形式的呈现方式与学生听、说、读、写能力的训练紧密结合,初步实现了寓教于乐的教学愿景。在素材的选取上,以贴近学生实际生活为原则,使学生兴趣盎然,教学氛围轻松愉悦。
教学流程按照由词到句、由句到篇的方式安排,层层递进,充分考虑学生的学习规律,帮助学生掌握新知。
课堂各项环节的设计都是基于小组的形式,运用了pair work,group work等活动,体现了“自主、合作、探究”的理念,突出了学生学习方式的转变,创设了互动、轻松、愉快、和谐的学习氛围,能有效地促进学生积极地参与学习过程。而小组合作互助学习建立在充分的先学基础上,突出了小组互助的力量,强调了学生的学在教学中的重要性。
但是,Welcome课型内容少而简单,主要内容之一是介绍了彩虹的颜色,本课的重点就是简单地让学生掌握彩虹的颜色。在反思过程中,我发觉自己忽略了一点:彩虹属于雨后偶尔出现的美丽的自然景观。因此,我可以以此为突破口,带领学生去领略更多大自然的美丽景观。然后,以这些呈现的图片作为接下来的pair work素材。这要比the Olympic rings,the playground等更贴切,更符合实际。
此外,基础较弱的学生参与积极性不高。以后在备课中要多做预测,多思考如何设计活动,让全体学生都能最大限度地参与课堂,使活动更加精炼,课堂更加高效。
点评:
Welcome to the unit这个板块是每一单元的第一课时,是一个引子,在这个板块里,语言点知识内容都不多,有漫画和图片,相对于本单元其他的板块,学习内容是比较轻松愉快的。因此,对本板块的设计要强调趣味性和引导性,在这方面,本课的设计还是比较到位的,课的开始就用彩虹视频引出本单元的话题颜色,使得学生在上课伊始,兴趣就被调动起来,积极投入英语课堂;同时,通过视频带领学生学习一些关于颜色的生词,实现了寓学于乐的良好效果。在之后的操作环节,运用quick response等具有竞争性的游戏策略,激起学生掌握知识的欲望,推动他们巩固已学知识。此外,本节课还基于pair work和group work等合作形式来设计课堂任务,使学生在听和说的训练中提高英语交际能力,从而牢固地掌握基础知识,达到灵活运用的地步,陶冶语言情操。在act out环节,给予学生充足时间自编自导,演出漫画内容,提高学生表达能力,活跃课堂气氛。在设计教学任务的时候,本课还注意以学生真实的生活环境为背景,引导学生关注自己教室、家的颜色设计,使得课堂不脱离生活;结束环节的升华设计,引导学生关注颜色带来的身心变化,提高学生的审美意识,陶冶情操,拓展视野,丰富生活经历,开发思维能力、发展个性和提高人文素养。
本课设计紧扣Welcome课型的趣味性,美中不足的是Welcome内容偏少,如果能适当给学生增加一些与颜色有关的阅读文章,拓展学生的知识面并充实课堂内容会更好。
