Ⅸ Teaching reflection
一般现在时对于学生们来说并不陌生，学生们之前有过大量的句子输入。要想上好这节课，关键在于帮助学生在已知的知识基础上学会归纳总结，课堂上要有一定的新知识生成以及及时的操练和运用。这节课先从一个精彩的篮球视频入手，拉近学生距离，也与本单元的话题相关——让我们做运动吧。接着一步步引导学生们说出关于篮球运动员的相关信息，老师及时板书。然后通过老师周末的活动安排，激发学生谈论他们周末做些什么，通过不同不停的追问，大量的含有一般现在时不同人称的句子出现，学生大量的感知并有意识地进行归纳总结。再让学生说出本节课的语法点，老师通过针对性的习题进行操练。最后通过大活动的组织，鼓励每位学生积极参与，高兴用英语交流，在合作过程中体验成功。
这节课优点在于整节课主线明确，操练具有针对性，语言的大量输入，使得本节课的语法归纳总结水到渠成由学生自己说出。缺点在于:（1）活动设计可以再多样些，比如说设计一些有趣的环节，增加课堂的趣味性。（2）在板书设计一块，可以有更多的形式变化。
点评：
本节语法课打破了传统的授课模式，体现了“不是教授教材，而是用教材教授”的新课程理念。通过观看有关“篮球运动员科比”的录像，激发学生学习英语的兴趣，让学生理解“运动促进健康，运动丰富生活”，从而调动学生学习用一般现在时来描述运动的积极性，这样使学生不再枯燥地学习语法，锻炼了学生的语言实际操作能力，同时也培养学生的体育运动精神，养成坚持不懈和团结协作的良好品质。
教学过程共分4大步骤（课程导入、语法讲解、即时操练和家庭作业），采取头脑风暴、分组竞赛等教学方法，开展听、说、读、写的教学活动，围绕课程主题“一般现在时”展开，各个教学活动环环紧扣，训练的侧重点各不相同，但训练综合度逐步提升，在整个教学过程中始终贯穿英语能力训练这条主线。首先通过周末活动比较，让学生在潜移默化中对一般现在时有初步的认识——“避免重复”。再利用表格和例题讲解的形式，条理清晰，帮助学生梳理第三人称单数形式变化，归纳整理重点、难点，易于学生理解和掌握一般现在时。同时穿插“头脑风暴”的方法，扩展学生思维，锻炼了学生的语言实际操作能力。让学生在询问、交流反映过程中进一步练习一般现在时肯定句、否定句和疑问句，最后以看图说话形式综合运用一般现在时，培养孩子连续说英语的能力，体现了学习的最终目的，即学以致用。
