Unit one Breaking the record引言在英语教学中落实新课程标准，就是贯彻执行国家教育部关于课程改革的决定。
新课程标准的三维教学观，具体到英语学科就是要整合发展学生语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识五个方面的素养，培养学生综合运用语言的能力探究学习、合作学习、任务型学习是在新课程标准下实施素质教育的关键环节，所以在我的教学设计里，时时体现着这几种原则。
教学设计理念1、运用任务型语言教学模式，训练培养学生对语言的综合运用，实现目标，感受成功，教学进度整体把握，教学形式不拘一格。
2、课堂以学生为主体，以任务为主线，重视体验参与，教师起到“设计者、研究者、促进者、协调者”的作用。
3、在教学中，突出交际性，注重读写的实用性，要进行情感和策略调整，以形成积极的学习态度，促进语言实际运用能力的提高。
4、课后访谈调查，读写摘记，重视语言运用。
5、正视个体差异，倡导过程激励，以多层次、多角度、多主体的结果与过程并重的评价方式激励进步。
一、学情分析一方面，高中年龄段的学生对周围的事物较为敏感，有自己的观点和看法，他们不满足于教科书上的知识，想获得更多的信息。
在英语学习上，他们不只是想把英语作为一门死记硬背的课程来学，更希望能学到知识性和趣味性兼有的内容，从英语学习中获得更多的知识和能力。
另一方面学生对体育比较感兴趣，对吉尼斯纪录有一定的了解因此，应结合学生的实际情况，因材施教，激发学生兴趣，让学生主动学习，学有所获。
二、教学内容分析(一)知识背景及新课程、新教材本单元以世界纪录为中心话题，只要内容涉及以阿里西塔福尔曼为代表的几个世界吉尼斯纪录的保持者及其运动经历，重点讨论了创造吉尼斯纪录所必备的身体素质心理素质创新意思以及挑战自我的决心和毅力语言和技能都是围绕这一中心展开的。
本课是是本单元第二课——“阅读课”，于是本单元的重点。
文章的主题是“路永在前方”其内容介绍了世界吉尼斯的保持者阿西里塔福尔曼，他不是职业运动员，但其运动成就让许多运动员望尘莫及，本课通过阿里西塔福尔曼的成长经历以及获得这些成就的精神动力激励学生认识自我的潜力找到精神动力的源泉，实现梦想。
