Book3 Unit 5 Canada -- “The True North”Period 1 Warming up and Reading说课稿各位领导、老师们，你们好！今天我要进行说课的内容是人教版高中英语必修3 Unit 5 Canada -- “The TrueNorth Period 1 Warming up and Reading。

首先，我对本节内容进行分析：一、教学设计背景1.面向学生：青铜峡市高级中学高一年级学生学科：英语2.课时：13. 教学理论依据英语教学是一种生活教学，所以它也是活动教学，教学过程也是交际活动过程。

只有从组织教学活动入手，结合生活实际，大量地进行语言实践，使英语课堂生活化，交际化，才能有效地培养学生运用英语进行交际的能力。

新课标提出：“外国语是学习文化科学知识，获取世界各方面信息和进行国际交往的重要工具。

”和“……发展听、说、读、写的基本技能，提高初步运用英语进行交际的能力，……”，明确提出高中阶段英语教学要重点从三个方面发展学生的英语语用能力：用英语进行恰当交流的能力；用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力；用英语进行思维的能力。

在结合本班学生的实际，对教材进行了适当处理。

4.学生分析（1）学生对旅游方面的知识有一定的了解和兴趣，但对加拿大这个国家的了解还比较有限；(2) 由于学生主要来源于农村，知识面和信息渠道很有限，学生多数对加拿大的地理位置，自然资源以及主要城市了解不多；(3) 学生具备一定的阅读理解能力，但在有限的时间内查找特定的信息和分析处理问题的能力还有待提高；5.学生课前准备（1）初读课文理解文章大意；(2) 勾画出生词并自己查阅词典自学，读准发音，弄清意思；(3) 勾画出好短语、句子和有疑难问题的词句；(4) 标出自然段落。

二、教材内容分析本单元通过两位女孩李黛玉与刘茜的加拿大之旅，向我们展示了加拿大的一些基本概况，包括它的地理位置、主要城市、风土人情以及它的多元文化。
