Good afternoon, everyone. It’s my great pleasure to be here sharing my lesson with you. The content of my lesson is “A busy day” part A from Unit 7,Fun with English 5B.
一.Teaching contents
The topics on Fun with English are well organized focusing on the pupils’ world. Unit 7 is intended for pupils to talk about their daily lives. They have learnt many verb phrases. Such as watch TV, have breakfast, clean the library, watch a football game, do homework and etc. You know they are bilingual class pupils, so maybe these phrases will be more easier for them. “A busy day” mainly talks about the time and what they should do at the time.
Considering the contents of the lesson and the levels of the pupils, I design the following teaching aims.
二、Teaching aims
1. Aims on the knowledge: Pupils will learn the new words “busy, past, to, on duty, brush teeth, really, half, a quarter ”, the new structures “ What time is it? It’s time for… Do you want to…? I want to…
2. Aims on the abilities: To develop pupils’ abilities of listening ,speaking, reading and writing. To develop pupils’ communicative skills
3. Aims on the emotion: To develop pupils’ sense of co-operation. To let pupils know they should cherish the time.
三、Important points:
1. To help the pupils say the new words and use the key sentences correctly.
2. To write whole sentences correctly.
四、Difficult points
1. How to make dialogues and act them out.
2. Pupils can talk about the time and what they should do at the time.
五、Teaching aids
And in this lesson we’ll need CAI , Tape recorder, school things and so on.
六、Teaching methods
Now I’d like to talk about my way of teaching(不必写在教案里).
1. Communication method
I’ll set up a real situation, in this way , pupils can practise in pairs or in groups, they can speak freely and needn’t worry about making mistakes
2. Task-based method
That is to say I’ll let the pupils finish a task by making a short dialogue and acting it out. To help the pupils get a better understanding of the key structures, I will arrange these kinds of activities: singing, guessing game, finishing a survey and having a competition.
七、Learning methods
Let pupils study in a relaxed and agreeable atmosphere. Thereby, develop the pupils’ abilities of studying and working with the learning language independently.
八、Teaching procedures
Now I’ll mainly talk about my Teaching procedures. I’ll follow five steps.
Step 1( Warm-up and revision)
It is important to set up a better English learning situation for the pupils . So I ‘ll design
Activity 1. Sing a song: Do some exercise with me? This song is from Unit6
Activity2. TPR( Total Physical Response ) to ask pupils to follow my instructions, “get up, have breakfast, watch TV, do homework” then ask and answer: What are you doing? I am…
T: Look, what am I doing?
Present the new phrases: brush my teeth
T: Who is on duty today?
Let the child give the orders which are on the paper.
I design this activity to get pupils to warm up and review the present continuous tense. I also infiltrate two phrases in this step, “brush my teeth, on duty”. Because they will be presented in the text.
Step 2 (Presentation )
To present and practice the key structures one by one, that’ll be much easier for the pupils to learn and grasp the meanings. So in this step, I’ll design 3 activities.
Activity1: Guess and learn.
Guess a riddle, then learn to express time in English. In this step, I will use CAI to help me with my teaching. Let children practice the time first. Then learn to use “past” and “to”
Activity 2: Ask and answer. What time is it? It’s time for…
Let pupils talk about the time : What time is it? It’s time to… Because pupils have already learned this structure .Then teacher can make a model first : It’s time for… Then practice in groups.
As we all know, using the pictures, this is one of the easiest ways to show the meaning of the words and sentences.
Activity 3: Talk and match
Talk about the time and the things first, then listen and match . If time is enough, pupils can talk about their own time and their own things.
Children’s attention span is very short. And proper exercises can help pupils focus on their attention and practice the key structures better.
Activity4: Think and say
T: Oh, what time is it now? It’s time to watch VCD. Do you want to watch VCD?
S: I want to watch VCD.
Teacher shows them a list, look at the time and things: What do you want to do? Then invite your friend: It’s … It’s time for… I want to … Do you want to…?
In this activity, pupils are encouraged to put themselves in the situation and make a face to face talking. All the pupils are involved in this activity. They can talk as much as possible.
Step3. (Production)
To help pupils put the language into using, I design a task to help pupils have a production.
First watch VCD. Let the Ss listen and imitate the dialogue. Pay attention to their pronunciation and intonation. At last I’ll ask the pupils to think hard and act it out. Then find out which group will act it out well. I’ll give them red stars.
Purpose of my designing: This step makes the pupils get the general idea of the dialogue as a whole one. At the same time let the pupils have a chance to practise their listening and spoken ability.
Step 4. (Consolidation)
To develop pupils’ abilities of listening and speaking, that’s the main instructional aims of learning English in primary school. So in step 4, I’ll design some listening exercises to check what they have learned. For example: Think and fill in the blanks. Everyone will have a piece of paper. In this step I’ll give the pupils a free space to show their abilities.
Purpose of my designing: “Task-based” teaching method is used here to develop the pupils’ ability of communication and co-operation. Tell the pupils we should cherish our time, Time and tide wait for no man.
Step 5. (Homework )
After step 4, some pupils can grasp the knowledge well, but some pupils can’t. Revision is so important, pupils should speak English after class as much as they do in class. It is necessary for the pupils to do some exercise after class. So I design the following homework.
1. Listen and read.
2. Try to talk about the pictures.
3. Try to finish your timetable
My timetable
Time Time What for?
6:30 Half past six It’s time for breakfast.
:
九、Blackboard Design
Unit7 A busy day
What time is it? busy 繁忙
It’s … past… on duty 值日
It’s … to … brush teeth 刷牙
It’s time for…
Do you want to…?
I want to…?
Proverb: Time and tide wait for no man. 时间不等人。
In a word, the teaching of this lesson aims to develop not only the pupils' language abilities, but also the diverse intelligence. As eachers, to make our English classrooms shine with vitality, we still have a long way to go.
Above is the lecture notes of my lesson. Thank you!
