Unit Four How do you get to school?教案

  part 3: studying methods.
   i request the students to study english independently and cooperatively. each unit of go for it contains pair work, group work and games. the students who sit at the same table and groups can make a discussion and learn each other. it makes the students more relaxed, they needn’t worry about making mistakes, it can arouse the students to think and to say what they want to say. the students become more relaxed and pleased in this kind of environment.
part 4. teaching  procedures.
step1. presentation.
1.let the students look at the pictures on the screen, learn the new words and phrases, and then answer the following questions: how does he/she get to school? how do you get to school? then write down the sentence” how do you get to school?” on the blackboard. help the students to answer “take the subway, take the train, ride a bike, on foot .”
2.play a guessing game. how does he/she get to work? i’ll ask the students about the focus stars such as yao ming, zhou jielun, liuxiang and more. they are popular among the students in china, the students must be interested in them.
3.ask the students to complete 1a, then check the answer with them.
purpose of my designing: to present the ways of transportation by cai is more easier for the students to learn and grasp the meanings. cai can provide a real situation with its sound and picture and it makes the relationships between students better.
step2. listening.
 before i play 1b.i ask the students: how do you get to school? i want them to remember the ways of transportation. and i play 1b, let the students to complete 1b, the check the answer. and then let the students listen and imitate the dialogue.
step3. workbook and groupwork.
ask two students read the conversation, then let the student practice in pairs. after that, ask them to practice in groups like this:
a: how do you get to school?
b: i take a subway.
c: how does b get to school?
d: he takes a subway.
encourage them to use different words and find out the best group. in this step, the students are required to practice the sample in pairs by reading the dialogue aloud. this step is employed to make the students grasp the sample. at last i’ll ask the students to thing hard and act it out well. i’ll give them some cards with numbers as a prize.
 purpose of my designing: this step is employed to make the students get the general idea of the dialogue as a whole one. at the same time, let the students have a chance to practice their listening and spoken ability. “task-based” teaching method is used here to develop the students’ ability of communication and also their ability of cooperation. i think proper competition can arouse the students’ interest in english learning if the students can finish the task well, they will benefit a lot in their spoken english.
