优质资料---欢迎下载Book 9 Unit 2 Sailing the Oceans(Warming up、Pre-reading、Reading )教学设计一、教学分析1.教学内容分析本课选自人教版高中英语选修9第二单元“热身、读前和阅读”部分。

“热身”部分主要介绍了几位航海家，以及如何区分“航海家”和“探险家”；“读前”部分以图片的形式呈现了古代航海的仪器；阅读部分的标题为Sailing the Oceans, 用百科全书的形式首先介绍了在现代航海仪器发明之前，古代航海者怎样借助自然环境的帮助进行航海，然后介绍了他们怎样利用一些简单的仪器确定经纬度。

2.学情分析从真实环境方面来讲，嘉峪关市地处西北内陆，对海洋的切身体会非常少，海洋知识主要源于课本，本单元相关的海洋词汇也较为生僻，学生不易掌握，而且相关知识不够，所以学生参与的客观背景是一大制约。

但是，“海洋探险”这个话题，容易激发学习兴趣，学生有话愿说（虽然对海洋所知较少），教师担心学生容易出现“心有余力不足”现象，所以导入环节不能太难。

3.教学思路分析⑴备课思路本课文本是关于古代海洋探险方面的说明文，应该来讲因为我校学生缺少海洋方面的相关知识，体验不足，词汇储备也不足，所以在教学设计方面主要考虑以下几步：①在热身环节尽可能生动、已知，强调“教学就是从学生的已知出发”（孙勇，2018），抢先唤起学生学习的积极性。

②围绕生词，设计相关的任务，使学生尽快熟悉单词便于为后续教学扫除障碍。

③本篇课文篇幅较长，理解难度较大，所以，一定要给学生留下足够的时间阅读，不能仅仅“走过场”。

④本着英语课堂倡导指向学科核心素养的英语学习活动观的定位，在设计上要有“综合性、关联性和实践性特点”（《普通高中英语课程标准》，2017年版），本节课尝试“以读促写，读写结合”的教学实践，提高学生多方面的语言运用能力。

⑵课堂教学活动设计⑶教学内容整合杨海春（2017）指出，在具体的课堂教学中，教师需要对教材内容、教材结构进行再设计，让教学内容贴近学生的生活体验。
