九、教学反思
本堂课简要介绍了世界英语及英语语言在某些重要方面的差异，使学生感受到英语语言的多文化、多层次、多元性，对英国英语及美国英语的不同有个粗浅的了解。

我感觉容量有点大，所以最后讨论的题目选得也比较容易，也比较符合学生的英语水平。

讨论的结果也很不错，学生都积极的参与其中。

所以注重培养学生的兴趣很重要。

如果难了，就稍微简单化，这样学生不会有太多的负担。

外语课堂教学既是一个掌握外语的认知过程，也是一个激励情意的过程。

如果我们能正确的掌握学生的兴趣性格，抓住弱点，放大他们的长处，这样学生也会努力学。

学生学外语时，会产生一种好奇心，好奇心不断获得满足，从而又产生了求知欲；求知欲不断获得满足，进而树立了自信心；自信心不断增强，自然会学好英语。

因此，教师在外语课堂教学过程中，既要重视掌握语言知识和运用语言能力目标的完成，又要重视情意目标的实现。

当然这不是说一天两天就能成功的，这需要我们当老师的不断探索摸索，才能有成效。

这就要求我们的课堂教学不仅仅是传授基础知识、基本技能的过程，同时也是一个不断培养学生创新精神和实践能力的过程，教师所讲授的知识应该成为培养学生英语能力的“火种”。

也就是说，课堂教学是一个在老师引导下学生主动参与、独立思考、自主发现、不断创新和培养实践能力的过程，让学生由“学会”转变到“会学。
