效果分析
在本节课中,学生依据导学案来学习课文,在导学案的帮助下能够顺利地解决相应的问题,但是在处理课文时也遇到了一些问题,主要集
中在以下几个点上:
1. What made Li Ning decide to succeed in his new life ?针对这个问题,学生难以找出文中的原句,并分析出原句用的是强调句式,故出现难点。
2. List three reasons for the success of Li Ning’s sports clothes
这个问题需要学生读完段落之后,自己整合概括答案。
部分学生归纳的不是很到位,内容不准确。
出现能力上的差异。
3. Group work Discussion
What qualities should we have to make everything possible by learning about Li Ning’ life in sport?(write down your ideas using 2 or 3 sentences)
在这个环节中,学生能力出现分化。
有一半同学可以写出一些词语来表达所需要具备的品质,还有一些同学写出的句子存在语法表达上的错误。
故这个环节的语言输出有待于提高和练习。
4.诗歌欣赏部分,学生理解其中隐含的意思时遇到困难,难以从中提取有效信息来概括遇到困境时所需要的品质,将本单元话题进行升华。
针对这些问题,需要结合具体学情进行调整。
观评记录
听课老师的意见和建议:
一、值得肯定和发扬的几个方面
1、重视学生的主体地位,强调学生的自主学习,独立思考和协作精神;关注师生间的互动,关注小组合作与学习竞争,对学生“学的过程”关注较多,小组竞争与合作学习在不少教师的课堂上得以体现,对保证教学效果起到了很重要的作用。
2、对于阅读课的探究达到了较高的层次,让阅读不再是单纯的阅读,而是一个综合体,在其中可以强化听、说、读、写各种技能,增加了学生训练和使用英语的机会。
老师能根据语言学习的实际需要确定教学或者学习目标。
3、多媒体教学手段使用灵活,熟练,设计层次感强。
二、有待于进一步探究和提高的方面
课堂教学“没有最好,只有更好”,在具体实施过程中始终存在着或多或少的缺憾和不足,集中表现为以下几点:
1、语音语调、板书以及语言的地道、得体度仍有待于提高。
2. 用英语驾驭课堂的能力还不够强,不能做到自由、自然地与学生沟通和交流。
3、教师“主宰”课堂的现象依然存在,鲜有学生的积极应答和个人思辨!
4、对教学活动的设计研究不够,比如,活动与活动之间缺少铺垫和衔接,一节课下来只是几个活动的组合,没有递进性和有效衔接,导致课堂不流畅、梗塞现象很多。
很多合作学习,特别是小组活动,流于形式,活动目的不明确,方式不清楚,分工不明确。
三、对今后教学的几点建议
1、教学目标设置要具体明确,要有针对性。
2、关注学生英语知识学习的同时,强调学生语言应用能力的培养,让学生更多地观察、分析、思考、内化和提升。
3、阅读教学过程中适时地、有意识地对有碍于学生话题语言输入和阅读能力形成的生鲜语汇及结构作巧妙的恰当处理是有必要的,但不能冲淡阅读课主要教学目标的实现。
阅读教学要求我们要在导引学生收集和吸收足够文本信息的基础上,依据文本的不同体栽和题材,由目前偏重于语言层面和细节事实的浅表性阅读向深入性阅读过渡,理清文本结构和线索脉络,进而探究和推知蕴含其中的作者写作意图和情感态度,由检测式阅读转变为鉴赏式阅读。
Module 5 The Great Sports Personality
A Life In Sport 教学反思
读前导入环节设计利用学生比较熟悉的北京奥运会主题曲引出北京奥运会开幕式最后李宁点燃奥运圣火,引导学生思考为什么选择李宁最后来点燃圣火。
观看这部分视频,从中找寻答案------因为李宁为中国体育事业为国家所作出的贡献,进入课文了解更多关于李宁的信息。
学生比较感兴趣,很容易进入到要学的主题中。
部分学生能从视频中找到答案,部分学生结合自己对李宁的了解给出答案。
关于课文学习部分,给予学生充分的时间进行整体阅读以便学生在阅读过程中对课文整体把握,从中获取关于李宁的信息,在阅读中
如果学生遇到了问题,可以直接进行讨论,然后核对答案。
在课堂上具体操作时间还是比较紧的,但大部分学生完成任务。
核对答案之后应该对一些要点再加以点拨,但时间有限只能在其他时间加以巩固。
学生了解李宁辉煌的体育生涯和退役后商海奋战的人生经历之后,启发学生探讨:要想成功,必修具备哪些素质?学生讨论后到黑板上呈现自己小组讨论的成果,大家分享这些观点。
从课堂实施情况来看,学生还是能归纳一些素质的,但输出能力还是较薄弱。
老师对这部分内容的总结放在后面。
教师利用李宁广告语进行总结,利用第一个广告语“Anything is possible!”对前面学生的讨论活动进行总结;利用第二个广告语”Make the change”鼓励学生大胆尝试,不畏惧失败,成功一定在等你!之后引出李宁精神,学习这种不畏惧困难,勇往直前的体育精神,李宁精神也诠释了Module5The Great Sports Personality 的内涵。
紧扣模块五主题让学生了解其真正内涵。
这个设计让学生阅读中任务的设计体现了层次性、科学性、多样性与灵活性。
由整体到部分到细节,合乎学生的认知规律—循序渐进原则。
任务设置由易到难,由浅入深,环环相扣。
最后课后作业,让学生选自己最喜欢的运动员,制作一张卡片:卡片内容包括姓名,出生年月,出生地,所从事的体育项目,所取得的成就,喜欢的原因。
用这种形式使学生将本节课所获得的知识加以巩固,侧重语言的实际应用。
课后作业是一个知识与能力的转化的过程。
设计既避免了简单地重复课文内容,又避免写一大篇令学生头疼的作文,且这个任务也具有时代性,学生有兴趣利用多媒体或板报展
示自己的偶像,能够激发他们参与的热情,同时锻炼学生的综合能力。
本节课存在的问题主要是教师与学生的互动情况能欠缺一点。
课堂气氛不是预想中的效果。
部分环节对学生的实际能力估计不足。

A mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learned first aid skills. Sonya Hall, 33, of Denny Av-enue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly.

Nine-time Olympic champion Carl Lewis has said he will run again, but this time for a Senate (参议院) seat in the state of New Jersey.
“When I run, as you see from my record, I run to win,”Mr Lewis said. The 49-year-old said he wanted to give back to the southern New Jersey district where he
grew up by running for the Senate as a Democrat.

He said he was seeking a Senate seat in order to encourage people and improve educational opportunities, particularly in the area of physical education for children.

Mr Lewis will run in the 8th legislative district now represented by Republican Dawn Addiego. It will be the first time Mr Lewis has sought elected office.
On the track, his greatest success was the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, where he won gold in the 100 and 200 metres, the long jump and the 4x100-metre relay. He won two golds at each of the next two Olympic Games, and took his final Olympic title, his fourth straight Olympic gold in the long jump, at the Atlanta Games of 1996.

B. Three.
C. Four.

B. Carl Lewis’ Legend goes on
C. Carl Lewis Returns to Field
D. Carl Lewis Aims for Senate

Harvard University in the United States has been ranked as the university with the best “reputation” in the world.
The Times Higher Education magazine has listed 200 top universities all over the world based on how they are regarded by a group of international college teachers. That is to say the list measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually performed.
A subjective, word-of-mouth (口碑的) quality such as “reputation”has genuine economic (经济的) value for universities, said Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
“Reputation is not just an impression, though it might be not as reliable as performance by objective indicators (客观指标),”said Prof Marginson.
Based on the views of 13,000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the big US universities, which dominate this list. Seven of the top 10 are US universities, headed by Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).Furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the US.Cambridge is the highest ranking UK university in the list, in third place, with Oxford ranked as sixth.
For students applying to university, reputation might be hard to quantify, but was an import ant part of the attractiveness, said the president of Cambridge University’s students’ union, Rahul Mansigani.
“Reputation makes a huge difference. If there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether it’s true or not. Factors such as a sense of history and the presence of outstanding college teachers were part of the reputation of Cambridge,” he said.
63. What is special about the latest ranking of universities?
A. It is very subjective.
B. It involves many indicators.
C. It is made by international professors.
D. It includes universities across the world.
64. Which of the following shows the correct order of the ranking?
A. Cambridge →MIT →Oxford →Harvard
B. Cambridge →Harvard →Oxford →MIT
C. Harvard →MIT →Cambridge →Oxford
D. Harvard →Cambridge →MIT →Oxford
65. The underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.
A. affect
B. decide
C. control
D. improve
66. What can be inferred from the text?
A. No Asian universities are among the Top 10.
B. At least five UK universities are among Top 20.
C. The Times Higher Education magazine is from the US.
D. Reputation affects students’ decisions when choosing universities.

The Universiade, generally known as “small Olympic Games”, was first held in 1959 and is held every two years. The Universiade is the world’s large-scale integrated games second only to the Olympic Games, far larger than other Games, like the Asian Games, the African Games and so on, receiving a great deal of at-tention from every country in the world and attracting numerous outstanding athletes of the world. And many world records have been broken during the Summer Universiades.
The Universiade is made up of three events:the

Have you ever changed your mind, or even given up a dream because you were afraid of what someone else might think of you? If you’re often worried about what friends, family, or even strangers in the street might think, then you’re using up a huge amount of energy worrying. 71 But the steps below should help.
Step 1: Ask yourself what matters to you.
Maybe you can’t stand the gym, but your best friend works out every day. It’s natural for people around you to have different values from you. 72
Step 2: 73
The truth is that I’m not the centre of the world, and neither are you! Most of the people around you are far too busy going about their own lives to think much about you.

There are a few cases where opinions will make a difference. 74 But the people who really matter are going to love you for who you are.
Step 4: 75
You can’t control people’s thoughts. You’ve got no idea what might go through their head, or why. You can’t please everyone all of the time, and there’s no need to try to.

C. You should make everyone around you happy.
