Festivals around the world Period 4 using language listening and speaking 教案

Unit 1Festivals around the worldPeriod 4Using language： Listening and speaking整体设计教材分析This is the fourth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will first get students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson. We will mainly deal with listening and speaking in this period. At the beginning, students listen to a conversation among young people. Carla and Hari are students in Trinidad. Their Chinese friends Li Mei and Wu Ping, are visiting for the Carnival holiday in February. They are joining in a parade for Carnival in Trinidad. This listening activity is not only to offer students knowledge about how to celebrate Carnival in Trinidad but to encourage students to listen and then use what they have heard to help them answer questions. It is an important exercise because it links skills together and uses them to produce a useful phone call. Make sure students read the questions before they listen to the tape. This is to sharpen their attention and listen for the answers. This will also help them get the gist of the listening text. The teaching procedures may be as follows： First, let students go through the directions, pictures and the questions and guess the listening text may be about. Play the tape for students to listen to and decide whether their guessing is right. Second, ask them to listen again for them to answer the questions. Third, let them listen a third time to check their answers. While they are listening, the teacher should pause and repeat the key sentences to help students understand. When checking the answers, explain some difficult listening points if necessary. In the end, show them the listening text and let them read and retell it. This step can help students understand and grasp the listening material far further. Perhaps some students will find it hard to listen to and understand listening materials. Encourage them not to give up. The more they listen to English, the easier it becomes. The speaking exercise is intended to give students the opportunity to practice a phone conversation using the functional items. So they should learn some expressions on how to make phone calls and invitations and express and thanks first. Then they are required to create such a phone conversation. During the course, let them know the polite forms of English are important and should be practiced in a variety of situations. Also encourage them to use vocabulary from the reading and listening passages. This period places emphasis on developing students listening and speaking ability. We should try our best to encourage students to say something. Dont always correct the mistakes they have made while they are speaking. Otherwise, they would feel reluctant and not say anything more. 教学重点1Develop students listening and speaking abilities. 2Enable students to master different listening skills. 3Let students learn how to make phone calls and invitations and express thanks. 教学难点1Get students to listen to and understand listening materials with various English accents. 2Let students make a phone conversation using the functional items requests and thanks. 三维目标知识目标1Get students to learn some useful new words and expressions in the listening passage. 2Let students learn the following expressions：1）Making phone callsMay I speak to. . . ?
