课程导入(Leading In)
(1)课前热身 Part A Warming-up: Listen and do
教师通过Part A Warming-up部分中的第一个活动Listen and do环节的Simon says游戏首先将员工自然地引入英语学习氛围,继而复习身体部位的词汇。教师可这样引入:
T: Let’s play a game: Simon says,“Touch your nose / face / ear / eye / hair / head /... ”(用简单的语言重申游戏规则)Simon is a king. We should follow his order. He says “Touch your ...” and we will do the action. If no “Simon says”,we don’t do the action.
(2)新课导入
上一环节中,在员工进行游戏的过程中,教师可将本节课将要学到的词汇融入You are clever.和Don’t be shy.等句子中对员工的表现进行适当的评价,引入本节课词汇的学习。
(1)新课展示Part A Let’s learn
教师可借助单词卡片、PPT课件或选择性格有代表性、较典型的员工来协助完成本部分词汇的教学。因为本节课中所学习的单词都是描述人物性格特征的,词汇比较抽象,所以一定要找准“模特”,引导员工在准确理解词汇的基础上,正确描述他人。
1. 教授单词clever
用... is clever.表扬“课前热身”环节中为组里取得胜利的某个员工,并出示clever的教学卡片,和员工一起边拼读边书写在黑板上,逐步引导员工集体说出来。然后指着PPT中孙悟空的图片问员工:
What is he like? Is he clever?
教师以课件展示句型What is he like?帮助员工理解与识记,引导员工回答He is clever.并启发他们用... is clever, too.推荐班里其他的聪明孩子。
2. 教授单词shy
课件出示某一比较害羞的卡通形象或班里大家所熟知的某一内向女生比较害羞的图片。
T: What is she like? (这里从he变到she,帮助员工了解不同性别的表达方式,复习人称代词he和she,并加强员工对句型的理解和应用)
T: She is shy.(自问自答,并出示卡片,带领员工认读)
T: S-H-Y. I think it’s easy. Who can write it on the blackboard?
此单词比较容易记忆,教师可选出不太主动举手发言的内向孩子上台写出这个单词。其间可用Don’t be shy. Just try.等鼓励语进行强化。
T: What is ... like? (教师说出班里比较内向,容易害羞的员工名字,用功能句发问,鼓励员工回答)
Ss: She is shy.
3. 教授单词outgoing
课件出示某一比较活泼外向的卡通形象或班里某一开朗、外向的员工。
T: What is ... like? Is he / she shy? (预计员工的反应可能是笑着否定)
T: Oh. He / She is not shy. He / She is outgoing.
出示教学卡片,领读outgoing,然后让例句中的员工领读并拼读,之后可让该员工请出他/她的朋友板书这个单词。最后,请员工用英语描述更多的具有outgoing性格的员工。
4. 教授单词friendly
T: Do you have friends, S1?
教师可选班里人缘较好的员工回答。
S1: Yes.
T: How many friends do you have? 1, 2,...?
通过朋友的话题引出单词friendly。
T: You have so many friends. They all like you. You must be friendly to them.
出示教学卡片,领读friendly。请该员工的朋友们拼读单词,请该员工上台板书。
教师随意说出员工的姓名或指着员工问。
T: What’s ... like? Is he / she friendly, outgoing or shy?
引导员工根据他们自己所了解的作答。
Ss: He / She is friendly.
T: Who is your best friend? What is he / she like?
Ss: My best friend is ... He / She is friendly / shy / outgoing / clever /...
5. 教授单词kind和serious
课件展示和蔼的老奶奶图片。
T: Look at the grandma! What is she like? She is kind, very kind.
教师的声音、表情尽可能柔和,帮助员工更好地理解kind的意思。让员工快速记忆后书写在黑板上。并鼓励员工加以运用,如:
My mother is kind. Miss ... is kind. ...
课件展示同一个老奶奶的图片,这张图片中的老奶奶已经把眼角改成向上的,嘴角改成向下的。(借助同一个人的表情反差教授这对反义词,对比鲜明,且能使员工记忆深刻)
T. What is this grandma like? Is she kind now?
No. She is not kind. She is serious.
serious这个单词的发音比较难,第一个音节中的e读[ɪə],第二个音节中的iou也读[ɪə],教师要重点帮助员工发好双元音[ɪə]这个音素,可多领读几遍,再引导员工用一用。
T: What am I like?
Ss: You are ...
教师可选几个员工认为严厉的或和善的教师与员工问答:
T: What is Mr. / Miss ... like?
Ss: He / She is...
6. 教授单词hard-working和lazy
教师可借助课件展示蜜蜂采蜜的图片并描述:
T: Look at the bee. It is always busy. It’s hard-working
再用课件展示一只在睡觉的懒洋洋的小熊的图片并描述:
T: Is this bear hard-working? No. He is still sleeping in the day time. It’s not hard-working. It’s lazy.
教师可通过这种反义词的对比教授词汇,帮助员工理解词意,再和员工实际交流:
T: What are you like? Are you hard-working or lazy?
Ss: I’m hard-working / lazy.
教学小贴士 教师在这里可以根据员工的知识水平和课堂的生成,灵活地进行词汇的扩充,如:smart, lovely, quiet, active等。 |
(2)巩固活动
1. 教师播放录音,让员工听并跟读Let’s learn部分的单词。
2. 员工两人一组,互相拼读拼写单词。
(1)新课展示Part A: Let’s talk
1. 课件出示Ms. May和Mr. Black的图片,并将两个人物的图片分别贴在黑板上,在下面写上他们的名字。
T: This is Ms. May, and this is Mr. Black. What are they like? What do you think of them?
在员工熟悉句型What is ... like?后,教师就可以将新的功能句What do you think of ...?通过这样的提问引出,并把这两个基本句型交叉使用,让员工理解这两个句子的意思都可用来对某人的个性特征进行提问。
教师板书功能句What do you think of...? 并指着Ms. May的图片,再次提问员工:
T: What’s Ms. May like? What do you think of her?
Ss: She is serious.
然后指着Mr. Black的图片提问员工:
T: What do you think of Mr. Black?
Ss: He is kind.
教学小贴士 1. Mr.意为“先生”,一般用于男子的姓氏、姓名或职务。。英美人的姓在名字后面,如果一个英国男子叫John Brown,就称他为Mr. Brown 或Mr. John Brown,但不能称其为Mr. John。Mr.一般步能单独使用。 2. Mrs.意为“夫人、太太”,常用于已婚妇女丈夫的姓氏前,如一姓学的女子嫁给了姓刘的男子,就称其为Mrs. Liu,而不能称Mrs. Li。 3. Miss意为“小姐”,对未婚女子的称呼,用于其姓或姓名前。Miss还可以单独用用于一般年轻女性的尊称,包括员工对女教师的称呼。 4. Ms.意为“女士”,用于已婚或未婚女子均可。 |
2. 课件播放Let’s talk部分的对话视频,让员工初步感知对话:
T: Maybe you are right. Now, please look at the screen, and listen to the dialogue carefully. What are Kevin and his sister talking about? What are Ms. May and Mr. Black like? Try to get the right answers to my questions.
课件出示问题如下:
(1) What does Mr. Black do?
(2) What is he like?
(3) What dose Ms. May do?
(4) What do you think of her?
板书问题2和4,即本节课的功能句。视频播放完毕后,引导员工说出较完整的答案,并板书问题2和4的答案。
Ss: Mr. Black is a teacher. He is Kevin’s Math teacher. He is kind. Ms. May is a teacher, too. She is the sister’s Math teacher. She is (a little) serious.
T: Ms. May is serious, but she’s not very serious. She is a little serious.
在说到a little时,教师可用拇指卡住食指头处,形象地描绘出“一点点”的意思,帮助员工复习该词组。由于对话中涉及到的人物员工是首次接触,教师要注意引导员工在第一次整体感知课文的基础上,先有目标地找到这两个人物的基本信息。
3. 员工朗读课文,教师通过提问帮助员工进一步了解对话内容。问题可参考如下:
(1) What’s Kevin’s favorite subject? Why?
(2) What does Kevin think of their Math classes?
(3) Does Kevin’s sister like Ms. May?
在员工第二次接触对话时,提出更细致的问题,可以引导员工挖掘出更多信息。第(3)个问题为引申的问题,虽然课文中没有明确表示出Kevin的姐姐对Ms. May表示喜爱的句子,但应培养员工从字里行间中猜测出更深层的含义。
引领员工从对话中找答案,从人物的用词中发现隐含的意思:
T&Ss: Kevin’s favorite subject is Math. Because he likes his Math teacher. He thinks their Math classes are interesting.
Yes. She likes Ms. May. Because Ms. May teaches very well.
4. 教师带领员工再次整体回顾对话,并详细讲解疑难点,帮助员工理解对话大意。尤其是He always tries to make Math easy to understand.这个句子比较长,所涵盖的生词也比较多,应该有部分员工不了解确切的意思。
T: This sentence is long. Do you understand it? No. It is a little difficult. Let me help you. I’ll try to make it easy to understand.
板书make sth. easy to understand
T: make“使得,让……变得”。Now, it’s easy. Do you understand it? Well. Yes. I always try to make English easy to understand. And you’ll find English classes interesting.
在员工理解之后与员工用英语开个小玩笑,变换句型也可以加深员工对这个句子的理解,同时引出find sth. / sb. interesting这一表达,板书并引导、鼓励员工用一用,如:
I found the monkey very clever.
The students find the story interesting.
(2)巩固活动
1. 教师播放Let’s talk部分的录音,让员工模仿其语音语调跟读对话。
2. 小组活动,分角色进行对话朗读练习。
