牛津高中英语教学设计单元:Unit 1 School life板块:Welcome to the unitThoughts on the design:Welcome to the unit 这一板块的主要功能是激活学生与单元话题有关的已有知识,引导学生联系自己的亲身经历进行相关话题的讨论。

2016年第3期英语教师一、课例背景本课例是笔者在安徽省示范高中———安徽省郎溪中学开展英语课堂教学观摩活动中所上的一节展示课。
在开展活动之前,笔者征求了很多年轻教师的意见,他们普遍要求上一堂Welcome to the unit的课。
原因可总结为:一是教师认为该课型的教学内容不多,生词较少,需要教师发挥的空间不大,如何做到语言学习和思维训练的统一就显得尤为重要;二是该课型作为一个单元的导入部分,其在一个单元中的重要地位不言而喻。
教师应在该课例中进行恰当的补充、删减、调整、改编,才能更好地契合编者的意图,最大限度地提升学生的思维品质,有效地渗透背景知识的教学,培养学生的创造性思维能力。
笔者结合教学实践,对这一课型的教学设计和策略进行探讨。
二、设计思路与指导依据说明《普通高中英语课程标准》(以下简称《标准》)指出,“普通高中英语课程要在义务教育英语课程的基础上,帮助学生打好语言基础,为他们今后升学、就业和终身学习创造条件,并使他们具备作为21世纪公民所应有的基本英语素养。
高中英语课程应根据高中学生认知特点和学习发展需要,在进一步发展学生基本语言运用能力的同时,着重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力;逐步培养学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力”。
这就要求一线高中英语教师关注教学材料,努力探究符合新课程理念的教学方法。
通过整体教学设计注重培养学生学英语和用英语的能力,学用结合,促进学生进行有效的表达。
同时,《标准》鼓励学生通过学习英语“促进心智、情感、态度与价值观的发展和综合人文素养的提高”,这也就意味着英语课程应该在促进学生的情感发展、价值观形成和综合素质的提高方面发挥积极作用。
三、教学分析(一)教学背景分析本节课是牛津高中英语模块五第二单元The environment的第一课时Welcome to the unit部分。
通过本单元的学习,学生将进一步了解到保护环境的重要性。
本课的授课对象为高中二年级的学生,他们已经掌握了一定的语言知识,获得了一定的学习能力,并对知识充满渴望,有着丰富的想象力和活跃的思维。
