教学点评及反思:
一.课堂任务设计思路:
本课是一节任务型听力课。由三个任务组成,由潜入深,逐层递进,形成完整的任务链教学结构:
第一个任务是谈论音像店路线图。此任务既是对以前所学内容的复习,也是一个任务活动。学生将听到的路线指示在图中标出,并且在此基础上向同学描绘自己所熟知的路线图,让同学根据自己的描述,将路线图绘出。此任务不仅训练了有关指路问路的听说能力,还涉及到跨学科学习的绘图能力训练。
第二个任务听录音示范,相互询问了解同学最喜欢的音乐类型以及歌手,找出全班最喜欢的音乐类型。在完成任务前,先要完成一个听力训练,即语言输入的过程。学生先通过反复向他人询问和表述喜欢的音乐及歌手的方法,在此基础上掌握相关语言结构,为语言输出,即任务的顺利完成打下基础。接下来的任务通过三步完成:首先学生决定自己最喜欢的音乐类型和歌手及喜好原因并将其填入表中。然后询问同伴最喜欢的音乐、歌手及原因并填表。第三步四人一组活动,询问新的同伴的喜好以及通过他来了解他刚才的同伴(即第三方)的信息。最后进行小组汇报。第三步尤为重要,因为在此突出体现了由信息差造成的交流活动的必要性。
第三个任务是一个接近真实任务,即在真实生活中会发生的事情。你家附近新开了一家音像店,一天你和你的好友一起去逛这家音像店,由于是第一次来购物,不熟悉店里的布局,在导购员的帮助下,你们找到了想要买的CD。相互讨论后各自买到了称心如意的CD。同学四人一组,分别在虚拟环境的音像店中扮演导购员、你、朋友和收银员的角色。台下观察的同学要仔细倾听台上同学所选购的商品种类、价格、数量以及他们分别喜欢什么类型的音乐。并将听到的这些信息一一记录在表格中。在此活动中所涉及到的最基本的句型结构是关于问路指路和陈述最喜欢的音乐及其原因的综合运用,但是由于它是接近真实的听力任务,学生参与性很强。任务的完成会大大超出最初的设想,因为它最大限度的调动了学生的积极性,他们会在完成任务的同时自觉的运用他们在第一和第二个任务中所用到的知识,以及一些超出本课教学内容的语言知识。这对学生自觉学习能力的提高是有很大好处的。
在下课前,根据第二个任务完成后所选出的全班最喜欢的音乐类型,播放了一首此音乐类型中典型的喜闻乐见的歌曲让大家欣赏,从而结束了本课的教学。
二.课后自评:
对于任务型课程的设计要自始至终体现任务的要求与特点,尤其是如何使得任务从简单重复性的起始任务逐层递进到真实的或接近真实的任务。使得课堂呈现阶梯递进,由简单到复杂的教学结构。
本课在设计上就是从这一点出发,在课堂呈现了三个环环相扣的听力任务,形成了一个完整的任务链。最终达到完成最后一个复杂的真实任务的目的。在众多老教师的指导下,我在如何设计任务型听力训练以及如何让这三个听力任务形成一个自然过渡、环环相扣的任务链上下了一番功夫。最终顺利的完成了所有的任务活动。尤其在最后一个任务完成时出现了许多让老师们惊奇的结果。学生的创造力和想象力被充分调动,纷纷说出、做出许多佳作。这也体现了任务完成过程中的不可预知性。
本课出现的问题是:第一,任务设计较多,致使第三个任务参与表演的小组受到限制,课堂时间没有把握好。致使拖后了几分钟下课。第二,教师的激情有待改进,在充分调动学生的积极性上仍有待提高。
教案点评:
本课是一节任务型听力课。由三个任务组成,由潜入深,逐层递进,形成完整的任务链教学结构:第一个任务是谈论音像店路线图。第二个任务相互询问了解同学最喜欢的音乐类型以及歌手,找出全班最喜欢的音乐类型。第三个任务是一个接近真实任务,音像店的导购员帮助你找到想要买的CD。
Unit 7 What does he look like?
任务型活动建议:
课程标准解读
学生参与决定教学内容。Brainstorm(头脑风暴)即学生在学习之前根据课题搜集、整理与课题相关人物外表信息。(身高、身材、头发颜色,长度及发型、脸部特征、着装、性格表达等)这样学生课前自己准备学习材料,教师利用学生带入教室的各种信息组织语言教学活动,并对学生进行经常性的需求分析,随时调整教学内容。
力图使学生自己输入成为主要教学内容资源,并成为整个学习过程的中心。教师针对本班学生特点,对教材进行整合、取舍并及时扩充必要材料充实课堂教学内容。
教学中挖掘利用学生自身的知识与经验,使学习内容更切合实际,学生更容易深切感知。主张学生自主、自导学习,合作学习,强调不是个人学习,而是群体学习中的学生自主性。
总体教学思路:
本节课设计思路是两条主线,一条是知识线;另一条是任务链。:
知识:知识的呈现是按照词、句、文,即,从易到难的顺序呈现的。从上节课的作业入手,然后分别复习人物外表如:身高、身材、头发颜色,长度及发型、脸部特征、着装、性格的词语介绍;讨论外表所需的询问和应答的句式,到知识综合运用和提高,最后是巩固和开放性作业。
任务:本节课任务设计以人物外貌为主线,上课以优秀小侦探导入新任务——识别罪犯, 描述罪犯特征,然后,画出罪犯肖像,给马虎探长写回信。
教学目标:
1.学会描述人物外貌。
2.学习根据描述人物外貌的文章画出人物,并能就图片写出人物间外貌不同特征及区别。
教学重点和难点:
描述人物外貌特征。
读文画图,看图写文。
课前准备:
1.搜集有关人物外表的词汇如:身高、身材、年龄、头发颜色,长度及发型、脸部特征、着装、性格的词语(至少15个),分小组写出描述同一器官的不同词语。
2.分小组准备长相不同的人物图片,分男女。每组准备一篇描述人物的文章,画两个或多个外貌不同的人物图。(带软盘或样图)
教学设计:
本课按照两条主线进行设计,一是知识支撑,二是任务设计:
本节课流程图
教学板块设计
导入(Lead in)设计:
目的:通过不同外貌描述,为导入教学做好知识铺垫。以做一次侦探,引出本节课的大任务:争做最佳侦探。吸引学生,激发其学习兴趣,提高学生作为学习主体(主人)课堂参与意识。
\大量人物图片以及描述外貌词语,将其注意力吸引到课堂中,此时老师恰到好处地让学生汇报导入任务切入主题。
\Task 1: 辨认罪犯: 通过学生阅读描述罪犯外貌材料,观察画像,找出罪犯,以激活学生已经掌握的有关外貌词汇。这个活动Focus on reading.
\Task 2: 阅读马虎探长所丢失的材料,为罪犯画像。Focus on reading and drawing.
\Task 3: 让学生设计画出自己想象的罪犯外貌、着装,并对罪犯进行描述。激活学生已经掌握的描述外貌的句子。本活动Focus on writing。

教案点评:
本节课任务设计以人物外貌为主线,上课以优秀小侦探导入新任务——识别罪犯, 描述罪犯特征,然后,画出罪犯肖像,给马虎探长写回信。
