外研社版八年级上册M1 How to learn English
U2 You should smile at her! 教学设计
一、 教材分析
本模块的主要内容是介绍学习方法,讨论在英语学习中过程中所遇到的困难,并通过问答等方式交流英语学习的方法和建议。作为初中二年级第一学期第一节课,这样的内容设计对学生是很有必要的, 可以帮助学生在学年之初重新认识英语学习的重要性,并制定新的英语学习计划。
承接一单元詹姆斯老师大明和玲玲等同学讨论英语学习的方法问题,第二单元的主要内容是语言医生在线答疑,她主要针对三个方面的学习问题提出了建议。这三条建议是按照理解、表达、知识学习的结构排列的,为培养学生的逻辑分析能力提供了一个很好的样本,按照二单元课文建议的顺序排列(一单元的对话对学习方法并没有进行内在的逻辑顺序进行排列,因为这是书面材料,是经过逻辑思考之后的表达。)对学习方法的分类建议按照理解,表达,知识的顺序来进行。
通过本模块的学习,学生不仅可以学会如何表达自己学习中遇到的困难,掌握如何提出建议还能充实并掌握更多的英语学习方法,如何处理阅读理解中的生词,如何提高英语听力能力,如何记忆单词等等,从而提高自己的英语学习能力。
