Ninghai is full of historical and scenic spots. How I wish my students, who major in the Tour Guide Service can introduc

2、e the beauty of Ninghai to the world in the future. This lesson offers me a great opportunity. Today, Im honored to share with you about how to give a listening and speaking lesson of Unit 10 Why was it built? from English Book 2, published by Higher Education Press from the following five aspects:

3、analysis of the students, understanding of the teaching materials, teaching method, teaching procedure and teaching reflection.1. Analysis of the StudentsIll begin with the analysis of the students. The students majoring in the Tour Guide Service have already taken part in the service for some impor

4、tant activities in Ninghai such as the celebration for the first China Tourism Day on May 19th, 2011, so they have a strong feeling for the tourism in Ninghai. It is easier to attract them to take part in the classroom activities. 2. Understanding of the Teaching MaterialsTeaching innovation should

5、be based on the thorough understanding of teaching materials. Ill explain it from three sections: the content and function of the lesson, key points and difficult points, teaching objectives.1) The Content and Function of the LessonThis period mainly concerns the words and expressions introducing fa

6、mous buildings and some dialogues about the history of famous buildings in the world. The main objective is to enable students to use the past tense of passive voice to introduce famous buildings and broaden their eyes. Passive voice is quite common in English communication and a broad vision is nec

7、essary for a good tour guide. So how important this lesson is for my students.2) Key Points and Difficult Points of the LessonThis lesson focuses on the expressions asking for and introducing the information of famous buildings. The difficult points lie in how to enable students to use what they hav

8、e learned in the class to solve problems in real life.3) Teaching ObjectivesBased on the content and function of this lesson, I establish the following teaching objectives:Language Knowledge: Students are able to command words about buildings such as build, design, locate and revolution. Students ar

9、e able to command expressions asking for and introducing buildings:When was it built? It was built in/onWhy was it built? It was built to Who designed it? It was designed byWhat was it used for? It was used forLanguage Skills: Students are able to predict before listening and listen for detailed inf

10、ormation by catching the key words to understand the dialogues talking about the famous buildings Students are able to talk about the famous buildings with each other by using the key words and expressionsCultural Awareness: Students are able to get familiar with the history of some famous western b

11、uildings.Affection: Students are able to broaden their eyes by getting familiar with some famous buildings in the world and love their own hometown by introducing its famous buildings. Students are able to cooperate with others by selectively putting the materials together to make an introduction of

12、 one famous building.3. Teaching Methods To achieve the above teaching objectives, situational teaching method and task-based language teaching method are adopted in this class.4. Teaching ProceduresTeaching procedures are the most important of a successful teaching. Before class, apart from making

13、a multi-media courseware and Question-Answer cards which will be used in the speaking activity, Ill divide the students into groups of 6 according to their language ability. As for the students, they need to collect materials about famous buildings in Ninghai (such as pictures, videos, the location

14、and so on). With everything prepared, here come the six teaching steps: Step 1: Lead-inI will play the video showing famous buildings in Ninghai one minute before class to help students begin their English learning in a relaxing atmosphere. With the help of the video, I smoothly begin the class by t

15、alking about the tourism in Ninghai to activate students background knowledge and preset a task for the students: it is your honorable duty to introduce the famous buildings in Ninghai to the world. And all the following activities are to help them prepare for this duty.First of all, broaden their e

16、yes. A matching competition will be held between groups and details about the buildings will be introduced later by showing more pictures and asking them the following questions: Where is it? Why was it built? to lead in the study of key expressions. Group cooperation can relieve students fear cause

17、d by the unfamiliarity with the English expressions of these famous buildings while group competition can fully motivate their learning enthusiasm. Step 2: ListeningThe students may know a lot about one famous building, but how to introduce it to tourists? I will introduce the magical blanket of Ala

18、ddin to link different teaching steps and change the whole boring listening process into a wonderful traveling to enjoy famous buildings in the world and experience how to guide a tourist to visit famous buildings at the same time. This is the point where I integrate the teaching materials and set a

19、n interesting situation for students. Students are certainly eager to begin their traveling, but which buildings are we going to visit? They will listen to three tour guides introducing the three buildings and order the pictures. This step serves as preparation for the following activities by briefl

20、y introducing the background knowledge of three buildings, which follows the study law-from the easy to the difficult.Then we will arrive in the first stop of our wonderful travel-the Statue of Liberty. Ill ask the students: If you are the tour guide, what questions do you think the tourists will as

21、k? Do you know the answers? With their own predictions in mind, a flash will be followed to check the answers by circling the questions they hear and completing the fact file. In the above process, students are not passively asked to do some meaningless listening activities. Instead, they actively e

22、xplore for the information through different listening strategies directed by different questions and experience the use of key expressions. The information technology makes it possible to let students play an initiative role in a vivid learning environment.Step 3: SpeakingThe Statue of Liberty is a

23、 gift from the French people, so in the following step, Ill lead students to France to visit the Eiffel Tower. Students need to win the passports for themselves by helping the magical blanket finish the Question-Answer cards. They will read aloud after the tape, underline the questions about the inf

24、ormation of buildings to put into the Question card of a tourist and then find the answers to put into the Information card of a tour guide. The listening activities act as a role of implicit learning, and then this activity is to cultivate students ability to summarize and help students command the

25、 key expressions in an explicit way.After receiving enough input, now its time for the students to output. I will lead them to visit the Eiffel Tower by showing a flash to let students understand how to use Question-Answer cards to act out a dialogue. After that, we will be in the last stop of our w

26、onderful travel. Its students turn to guide me to visit the Great Wall. A video showing its beautiful scenery will be played and students need to act out a dialogue by using the provided Question-Answer Cards. By role playing, students become the masters of the class while the teacher is a helper wh

27、o offers the information cards. They are given the opportunity to speak out and practice the key expressions again.Step 4: TaskEnsuring that the students have enough language foundation after a series of listening and speaking activities, the preset task at the beginning of the class is presented to

28、 them. They need to work in groups and finish the following tasks:First, share the materials they have collected with their group members and choose a famous building they all like. Then discuss with each other about the building and put together the materials to make an introduction of it. (Possibl

29、e questions to think about: What was the building used for? When was it built? Who designed? Why was it built? Why is it famous? Is there any interesting stories about it.)At last, each group should choose a representative to show the result to the whole class and then the whole class chooses the be

30、st tour guide according to the following standards:Contents and RequirementFull ScoreScoreWords and expressions learned in class have been fully usedbuild, locate, design, revolution10It was built in/onIt was built to It was designed byIt was used for10Language Pronunciation10Grammar10Logic 10Vividn

31、ess 10Manners10Creativity 10The standards not only act as guidance for the students to work out the group task during the discussion, but also attract the attention of the whole class during the show time.The highlight of this step is creating a language situation closely related with their major by

32、 making full use of local characteristics. And this is what I do to break through the difficult points of this lesson.Step Five Self-checkThe following step is self-check. It presents the key contents of this lesson to deepen students impression and also helps the teacher to check whether the target

33、ed teaching objectives are reached or not. Whats more, it offers two different levels for students to choose from, which can meet the different needs of students in different language levels. Step Six Homework After class, students need to work in groups again and choose a famous building in Activit

34、y1. Collect as much information about it as possible by searching the Internet. Make full use of what they have learned in the class to make an oral presentation in the next class.5. Teaching ReflectionAs teachers, we should always help students study more efficiently and get ready for their future

35、study or future jobs. In this class, all the teaching activities are carefully designed to meet students real needs and help students develop their overall language ability by playing an initiative role in a situation close to the real life and future career. And the information technology shows its

36、 great advantage in breaking through the key and difficult points of this lesson. It provides sounds, pictures and visual images such as flashes and videos to make it possible to let students intuitively experience the language used in scenes which they are unfamiliar with such as visiting the Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower. 6.
