Unit 1 Where is your pen pal from? (Section A)

教案設計：李益華

[設計思想]

《英語課程標準》倡導“任務型”的教學途徑，其最終目的是培養學生綜合運用英語的能力。教師應注重設計貼近學生生活實際的教學活動，避免以單純傳授語言知識為目的的教學方法，吸引學生充分參與到課堂活動中來。 “讓學生做事”是設計課堂教學的主要原則，也是設計課堂任務的主要思路。本節課設計如下四個真實的任務，任務（一）：請學生根據自己已經擁有的地理知識，將城市與國家名稱貼在一起。任務（二）：已經掌握的國家名稱，觀看片段，猜一猜出現的國家。任務（三）根據自己的愛好及所收到的外國友人的相關信息，選擇自己滿意的筆友；任務（四）：根據自己所選定的筆友的情況，在完成聽力材料的基礎上，使用要求掌握的句型調查哪位同伴的筆友和自己的筆友來自同一個國家，并將調查結果進行匯報。這四個任務之間合理過度，采取選擇、確定、調查及匯報的授課方式，調動學生運用要求掌握的語言結構做事的積極性，引導學生在學習的過程中學會歸納和實踐等方法，重在側重對學生學習策略等方面能力的培養；小組活動形式的目的在于增強同學之間的團結，培養學生謙虛好學的精神，同時也提供給學生更多運用英語的機會。

此課是第13單元的起始課。
