A Phone Friend教案

part 4. teaching procedures
      i’ll finish this lesson in seven steps. first, i’ll divide the stu dents into four groups, and bring  a competition into the class . at last, let’s see which gro up is the winner.
step 1: warm-up
  to improve the spoken english of my students , first, i’ll greet the class as usual, and let the students sing the song “ no matter what” of lesson 36. i think singing a wonderful song can heat the classroom’ atmosphere. next, i’ll ask them to make dialogues as many as possible within one minute group by group without repetition. find out which group will make the most dialogues.
step2: free talk (task 1)
  i hope students can communicate with each other and practice speaking and listening in this activity. so  i’ll ask the students to talk about why they learn english in small groups. then i will let some volunteers share their opinions with the whole class. maybe they will give me many different opinions: we must have tests. people all over the world are learning english…
step 3: lead in
in order to raise students’ interests, before the class read the text, i’ll show them a map of the world and ask some of the students to pretend to make phone calls from different contries to each other in english.
step 4: listening
  to improve th eir listening abilities and skills, i’ll play the audiotape,  ask the students to close their books and listen carefully with some simple questions, i’ll play the tape twice. find out which group will answer the questions correctly.
(1) does wang mei understand jenny?
(2) what does jenny say when she doesn’t understand?
(3) have jenny heard of wang mei before?
step 5: acting (task 2)
to improve the students’ expression ability ,i’ll give the students some time to practise the dialoge in groups. then ask the four groups to act out the dialoge again. find out which group will be the best.
step 6: let’s do it (task 3)
to improve the students’ writing and communication abilities ,i’ll let them make up a dialogue with a partner. act out a phone call between two friends. one is in china, the other is in the u.s. try to use the expression they have learnt in this lesson.
    step 7: class closing
(1) summarize (key words and sentences)
(2) i think homework is so important that the students should do some extensive exercises after class to consolidate the knowledge they learnt. so i’ll let them do the following homework:
