牛津高中英语教学设计
单元：Unit1 Living with technology
板块：Word power
Thoughts on design
这一板块的教学重点应放在教授与本单元话题相关的一些词汇和词汇学习的有效方法上。可以从学生的生活体验出发，自然地引入需要教授的一部分词汇。然后利用教材本身提供的语篇材料，引导学生关注使用这些词汇的真实语境。在语篇阅读状态下，帮助学生加深了对它们的印象，并学会词汇分类记忆的方法。学生识记这些词汇后，需要在新的语境中学会运用。教材第七页上提供了很好的语篇材料，教会学生词汇学习的又一个重要方法：即不孤立地记忆或使用词汇。在学生就相关话题讨论之后，鼓励他们把讨论的观点写下来，是对所学词汇更富创造力的使用，让学生能从这一活动中体验创作的乐趣和成就感。
