听说课说课稿 Hello, everyone. My number is 1. Today I’m very pleased to have anchance to talk about some of my teaching ideas. My topic is animals, period17, taken from Unit 5 in book seven. My speech is made up of seven parts. Part One: Analysis of the teaching materials This is an important lesson in this unit even in this book. This lesson is the first one of Unit 5. It’s a typical listening lesson. If the Ss can learn it well, it will be helpful to make the Ss learn the rest of this unit. In this lesson, the Ss learn many names of animals. Such a topic is related tightly/closely to their likes and dislikes and can raise effectively their learning interests. So learning it well can improve their listening ability and spoken English. Part two: Analysis of the students As we all know, students of grade seven school haven’t learned English yet and have mastered a small number of vocabularies. What’s more, they haven’t formed some scientific learning methods and learning habits. students in GuLin are poor in learning English; especially they are afraid to speak English in public occasion. But the students have strong thirst for knowledge and like to be challenged and praised. So the teachers should try their best to guide and encourage the students to speak English loudly in class. （so the teacher should pay

英语词汇教学说课稿 八年级下Unit 5 If you go to the party, you’ll have a great time. 茹荷镇初级中学齐爱军 要学好一种语言，词汇是关键。掌握一定量的词汇有助于提高听说读写能力。词汇教学时英语教学的重要组成部分。有些学生因为记不住单词而失去了对英语的学习兴趣。因此，在课堂上我们要进行词汇的有效课堂教学。下面我从以下几个方面来展开话题。 一．说课标 英语课程标准对五级词汇教学提出了明确的要求：了解英语词汇，包括单词，词组，习惯用语和固定搭配形式。理解和领悟词语的基本含义及在特定语境中的意义，运用词汇描述事物，行为和特征，说明概念等。学会使用下列单词和短语：have a great time organize take away clean-up flower agent around the world make a living against charity chance all the time injured sincerely lawyer tonight mobile phone 二．说问题 1.八年级词汇量增加，教材突出音标教学，对学生语音能力要 求很高。 2.学生基础差别也很大，有的学生小学底子薄，无形中学习词 汇困难。也有的学生记忆单词死记硬背，这种被动的记忆方 法不会印象深刻，甚至会挫伤孩子学习单词的积极性。 3.教师在词汇教学方面方法单调，不能激发学生学习的积极
性。这会造成理解和记忆负担过重，不利于发展学生的语言 运用能力。 三．说建议 1.利用实物和图片记忆单词。 2.注重语音教学，提高学生拼读能力。 3.在游戏中学习单词。 4.运用联想来进行词汇教学。 5.指导学生记忆策略，变被动为主动。 总之，老师在词汇教学上注意方法的多样性，调动学生的积极性。 四．说教学过程 （一）热身活动（包括组织教学与复习） 1. 2.师生之间打招呼 2. 以优美的曲子进入新的词汇教学。 （二）呈现与操练 1．第一组flower, agent, charity ,injured ,lawyer , mobile phone用词卡展示生词并领读。对单词进行听说认读的操练。 2．第二组against, chance, sincerely, tonight 使用“寻宝”游戏学习生词。使用“快听快指”和“快听快说”的方式操练。对单词进行听

英语说课稿三篇（三年级用） 【篇一】 一、依据课标说理念 《英语课程标准》指出：老师要充分地提供一个宽松、愉悦的舞台，创造一个相对自由的学习环境给学生宽松、愉悦地探究学习，让课堂因为学生的自主发现、自我展现而呈现生动精彩的一面。因此，我会把精力放在情景的设计上，鼓励学生参与活动，让学生在集体的情景中乐学英语、掌握英语、会用英语，并保持强烈的学习情感和兴趣，促进学生的英语学习能力得到发展。 二、结合内容说教材 本课是广州版小学三年级下册第四单元第十课。，通过教学“My bedroom has ……”这个句型，使学生学会用简单的语言描述自己的卧室，并学习一些关于房间物品的单词。本课是这个单元的第一课，它起到统领全单元的作用并为下一课学习表示方位的知识作了重要铺垫。在此之前，学生已学习了“Do you ha*e……?”等句型，这为学生学习本课的新知打下了基础，基于教材的特点，结合《新课程标准》的目的要求，我将本课的目标确定为： 1、语言知识目标 1)学会本课的单词。 2)学习描述自己卧室的句型：My bedroom has a…… 3)理解、朗读并尝试表演对话。 2、语言技能目标
1)根据情景说出单词和句子。 2)在图文和场景下进行简单的英语交流和表演。 3、情感态度目标 能有兴趣听说英语，敢于开口，乐于模仿，并在小组活动中积极参与合作，能主动用所学英语与他人交流。 结合教学目标的要求，我把重难点敲定为： 重点： 运用句型：My bedroom has a…描述自己的房间。 难点： 1、wardrobe、ceiling等较难发音的单词的正确朗读。 2、对情景进行模仿、创新。 三、紧扣上述说教学策略 1、教法： 情景教学法：根据三年级学生活泼好动、好表现、喜表演等特点以及本课句型的情景性较强的特点，我会采用情景教学法，为学生设置真实有效的场景，让学生走进课文，表演课文，与文本展开零距离的对话，从而激发想说的愿望也有利于表达能力的提高。 媒体辅助法 众所周知，“工欲善其事，必先利其器”。多媒体计算机以其独有的生动的画面，鲜明的色彩，形象的声音，在课堂教学中施展其独特的魅力。因此，我通过把我得卧室拍下来放给学生看，听，并借助自制课件和“金太阳”把教学内容活灵活现地呈现在学生面前，让学
