高中英语_Small Talk教学设计学情分析教材分析课后反思

If the conversation continues, the second one will want to show his interest in the conversation, he may add something useful to it. This is the second A= Add. Therefore, if they continue the conversation, the second may ask some more questions connected to the conversation. This is the third A= Ask. Sometimes they may come into sme difficulty, but if they continue with the AAA model, they can avoid some embarrassing silence.A2. I think it’s agood idea.

高中英语话题导入(Module 1 Small Talk)教学素材外研版选修6

Module 1 Small Talk 话题导入您有没有这样一种经历?在朋友的宴会上、在乘坐火车时,或在旅途就宿的旅舍中,面对陌生的朋友,出于胆怯、拘谨或是别的原因,相视无语,无从谈起,双方都觉得尴尬窘迫。

在这种场合下,就需要我们用闲聊技巧打破僵局(Break the ice),谈谈天气、论论影视人物、议议体育运动、交流一下网络见闻等等,用这些我们都感兴趣的话题让双方增进了解,在轻松、和谐的氛围中度过相聚在一起的美好时光,永远记住:Small Talk makes big time!背景知识Small Talk:就是light chit chat,可以理解为闲聊。

在工作场所,Small Talk不仅可以打破见面时的冷场、避免尴尬,而且是用来构建Rapport (和谐同事关系)的重要工具。

应该说,Small Talk的话题非常广泛。

当天的天气和交通是随手拈来的话题;各地新闻、比赛结果也可以拿来小小地评论一下;如果有心,你会知道同事们的爱好,在学习、生活方面有没有困难,关心一下也是很好的话题。

至于旅游度假的见闻,更是相当好的Small Talk话题。

有时,甚至学习中的压力和困境,拿来消遣一下也无妨,或许你会得到意想不到的建议和帮助。

Small Talk可以用在生活的方方面面。

譬如在等公共汽车时,在购物时,遇到邻居时,都是Small Talk的良机。

从这个角度来说,Small Talk也是构建和谐社会的一个重要工具。

Small Talk一般是由身体语言开始的。

相遇时双眼对视以及友好的微笑暗示着可以Small Talk。

Small Talk大致可以分为五个主要步骤:问候,引入话题,扩展话题,发出结束信号,再见。

刚开始时,可以从简单的自己熟悉的话题开始,再慢慢试试其他话题。

话题引入后,会有几个来回的交流。

如果对方有兴趣,交流的回合会适当地多一些。

由于Small Talk的性质(地点、时间等)决定了它所用的时间很短,也就1到5分钟左右,话题不可能很深入地讨论下去。

Module 1 Small TalkReadingHow good are your social skills一、课标解读本节课响应素质教育的要求，主要采用了任务型语言教学模式，体现教师为主导，学生为主体的特点。

通过一系列任务的完成，提高学生用英语获取信息、、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，特别注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力；同时.，能根据话题要求与人交流、合作，共同完成任务；使用适当的语言形式进行描述和表达观点、态度和情感。

因此，在阅读教学中，教师应调整教学策略，利用阅读契机，提高学生整体英语水平和综合素养。

二、教材分析本节课的内容是高中教材选修六第一模块的Vocabulary and Reading部分，本模块的话题是闲聊，教材通过对small talk的不同定义引出话题，然后通过设计不同交际情景来提高学生的社交技巧。

本节课是模块的阅读课，文章脉络比较清晰，教师可在充分利用教材资源的基础上，结合学生的实际情况设计教学活动，引导学生通过阅读文章学会根据起始段落预测文章出处，帮助学生有效地掌握关键词汇，培养阅读技巧，学会使用文章中的技巧进行交流。

三、学情分析作为高二学生，经过几年的英语学习，已经具备了一定的词汇量和阅读理解能力，能够读懂本学段课标要求的文章。

但我们所面对的学生是普通生，总体英语水平不高，自主探究的能力也比较差。

在组织教学活动中，注意从简单的问题入手，逐步引导学生完成任务，使每个学生都能体验到成功的乐趣。

本节课话题与学生的日常生活关系比较紧密，学生可能会比较感兴趣。

在教学中注意循序渐进地引导学生利用不同的阅读方法，获取信息和语言输出的能力。

并让学生能借助语境排除词汇、语法障碍，理解语篇意义。
