人教版英语必修二Unit 2(Reading：An Interview)教案

高中英语必修二第二单元Reading教学设计一、教案背景1、教学对象：高一年级学生（江西省重点中学）2、学科：英语3、教学准备：多媒体教学课件、复印好的课堂活动纸（学案）4、指导思想与理论依据：《高中英语新课程标准》指出，英语教学首先要培养学生的学习兴趣、信心、策略和习惯；强调课程从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式，发展学生的综合语言运用能力；突出“以人为本的教育思想”，以学生为主体，注重学生全面发展与个性差异的统一。

教师应关注每一位学生，尊重他们的需要和个体差异，使他们都能在各自不同的基础上获得身心的健康发展，发展终身学习的能力。

二、教学课题人教新课标版《普通高中课程标准实验教科书》高一（上）Module2, Unit2 The Olympic GamesReading: An Interview（第1课时）三、教材分析1、教材内容：本节课所学教材选自《普通高中课程标准实验教科书》，第2模块第二单元第一课时，它以世界性的体育盛会——The Olympic Games为中心话题，旨在通过本课的教学，培养学生的阅读策略；使学生了解奥运会的起源、宗旨、比赛项目以及古、现代奥运会的异同；让学生了解采访对话文体的基本特点；同时，培养学生对体育运动的爱好。

2、学情分析：本节课的授课对象是我校高一（26）班，是一个尖子班，期中考试（试题难度0.5~0.6）成绩全班61人的平均分为104分，其中优秀以上9人，极格以上50人。

该班学生来有一半来自农村。

学生虽然有求知欲望，但缺乏自信心，不敢在课堂上淋漓尽致的展示自己的能力。

优点是他们学习比较刻苦，英语的基本功相对来说比较扎实，具有一定的自主合作和探究的能力，具备了用英语思考和表达的基本技能。

随着2008年北京奥运会的顺利召开，学生对奥运会话题有很大兴趣。

但要恰当运用英语词汇表达已有的奥运知识和看法，以及通过英语文章的阅读获取相关信息对于高一的学生来说仍有一定难度。

高中英语-Unit-2-The-Olympic-Games-R eading-An-interview-教学设计-新人教版必修2Unit 2 The Olympic Games一、教学对象分析本校学生英语水平整体较高，可是学生个性和知识水平差异大。

奥运会这个话题并不陌生，但学生对古代奥运会和现代奥运会的异同点并不是很清楚。

这篇文章以采访的形式向学生讲述这些知识，教师设计了一些课堂活动，以帮助学生获取信息，进一步激发学生的兴趣，提高课堂的积极性，逐步实现各项教学目标。

二、教材内容分析本案例是人教版《普通高中课程标准试验教科书·英语（必修）2》，第二单元阅读部分，本篇课文的标题是An Interview。

课文是一个虚拟的采访——两千多年前古希腊作家帕萨尼亚斯与一位北京奥运会志愿者李艳的对话，向学生介绍了古代和现代奥运会的异同以现代奥运会的一些基本情况。

随着问题的逐步展开，学生对奥运会的了解也越来越全面。

文章的这种设计给学生创设了语言情境，把描述竞技体育这一话题的语言内容变成了生动有趣的对话，让学生有一种身临其境的真实感受。

三、教学目标（1）帮助学生掌握重点单词和短语的用法，如ancient, volunteer, regular, take part in, every four years, be admitted as 等。

进一步帮助学生理解课文中的难句。

（2）帮助学生在阅读的过程中，运用略读，寻读，细读的阅读技巧，提高学生用英语获取信息，处理信息，分析和解决信息的能力。

（3）通过阅读使学生熟悉奥运会，能用英语就奥运会的知识进行互问互答，并能阐述古代奥运会和现代奥运会的异同及现代奥运会的一些情况。

四、教学过程Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (8mins) （1）视频热身 (4mins)教师通过播放北京申奥成功的视频，引出奥运会的话题。

ReadingThe General Idea of This Period：This period is to introduce the students to Greek literature and to help them understand the problems that women had in Ancient Greece.The Greeks had wonderful stories about the Gods and Goddesses who were part of their religion.They believe that these Gods （or Goddesses）would help if they felt sorry for them or if the humans were good people.The Gods did not always help though.They behaved like people who were unpredictable and capricious.To try to get the support of the Gods people had to pray to them and offer them presents.In this story the Goddess Hera，the Greek Goddess of Love （the wife of the chief God，Zeus）was sorry for Hippomenes and agreed to help him.Teaching Aims：1.Enable the students to learn and talk about Atlanta’s story.2.Learn some useful words and expressions：prince，pri ncess，amaze（amazing，amazed），foolish，promise，golden，etc.3.Learn some sentence patterns：（1）I will only be married to a man who can run faster than me.（2）It was so tall that I had to look up to the sky to see it.（3）There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rules.Teaching Important Points：1.Enable the students to comprehend the story of Atlanta and get the general idea of the story of Atlanta and something about the beginning of the Olympic Games in the ancient time.2.To know the athlete in the past and the fact that women were not allowed to take part in.Teaching Difficult Point：To understand the content and finish the true or false exercises efficiently.Teaching Methods：1.Skimming to get the general idea of the story of Atlanta.2.Scanning to get detailed information and get to understand the story better.3.Task-based methods to get the students to comprehend the passage and be able to retell the story in their own

It adopts a dialogue between Pausanias who lived 2000 years ago and a Chinese girl in modern world. Through their dialogue, the differences and similarities between the ancient and modern Olympic Games are made known to the readers. Just because it is in a conversational style, there are quite a few oral spoken English and elliptical phrases.Through the comparison between the ancient and modern Olympic Games, we have learned the differences and the similarities between them. Now we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can also get to know that the Olympic Games are developing and improving. It’s our duty to make the Olympic Games better and healthier. We know that one of the slogans for 2008Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympic Games. It shows that people are paying more and more attention to our environment.课后作业1. Learn all the useful new words and expressions in this part by heart.2.
