Module 4Carnival

高二英语必修5第四模块carnival说课稿李桂杰我今天说课的内容是高二英语必修5第四模块carnival——狂欢节首先介绍一下这节课的地位和作用：本节课是第四模块的第二课时，是一节阅读课，在本模块的教学过程中起着重要的作用。

本课主要向大家介绍一个很著名的外国节日——狂欢节，这个话题与我们的日常生活和学生们感兴趣的外国文化有着很大的联系，对此话题的学习与讨论有益于提高学生学习英语的兴趣，通过日常教学使学生们掌握有关节日的新词汇并使他们了解其它国家的文化背景和社会风貌，为学生以后的阅读和学习做好知识储备。

其次要对学生现有情况进行分析：课前已经让学生们通过各种渠道搜集有关狂欢节的信息，所以他们对本节课要讨论的话题已有一定的了解；但他们缺乏有关这一话题的英语词汇量，也不太善于用英语进行交流。

所以根据以上分析我确定了本节课的教学目标，教学重点和难点教学目标：1.知识目标：准确理解文章内容，并掌握文章中出现的新词汇New words: memory hide pretend revive bookPhrases: dress up, come to an end, date back to , think of, last for2.能力目标：能够回答与课文有关的问题，通过阅读练习提高学生们的阅读能力和提取信息、处理信息的能力，并能够用自己的语言复述课文重要内容3.情感目标：语言是文化的载体，当人们开始学习另一种语言时，他们从某种意义上说就加入到另一种文化中了，所以要培养学生的跨文化交际意识，重视中外文化的差异。

教学重点：准确理解课文内容，并掌握其中的重要词汇教学难点：用学过的词汇和句型复述课文重要内容在整个过程中我将使用多媒体课件来帮助我完成教学任务，它能够很快地抓住学生的注意力并导入正课。

我采用任务教学法和自由讨论教学法，组织学生有目的的进行阅读，在自由的氛围中交流和学习。

教学过程共分以下5个环节第一个环节：复习及导入1.复习：设置若干个问题，要求学生用前一节课的知识作出回答，以便得以巩固2.导入：利用大屏幕给出一些著名节日的欢乐景象，让大家来猜是什么节日，由此导出本节课要学习的话题狂欢节。
