Unit 2 Working the landreading教学案例反思
Unit 2 Working the land---reading教学反思Unit 2 Working the land---reading教学反思1．初步学会明确任务目标，站在学生角度，精心设计活动。
精心设计可操作性强的任务化活动是成功组织任务型教学的首要条件。
这样学生可以通过完成具体的任务来学习和稳固言语，累积学习经验和享受成功的喜悦。
所以在设计活动时，教师应站在学生的立场上，充分考虑他们的兴趣及认知水平。
2．本堂课使用多媒体教学，旨在表达并调动学生英语学习的积极性，为学生创设了良好的英语交际环境。
学生显得乐学，善学，提高了他们自主探究的兴趣，在感想言语的根底上积极的开展英语思维活动。
学生参与方法较好，积极性高。
在这堂课中，注重“以人为本〞，发挥学生的主动性, 充分表达以学生为中心的教学理念。
3术，为学生创设各种言语学习环境，提供丰富的教学资源，拓宽了学生的学习渠道和学习方法。
4．整堂课师生，生生互动性强，在自主、互动、探究的方法中展开课堂教学，充分挖掘课文内容的内涵和外延，联系学生的生活，建构新知。
5．以任务型为教学原则，本节课的每一个任务都是围绕学习者“学〞的角度设计的。
通过小组活动，培养合作探究能力。
学生的每一个活动都具有明确的目的指向和具体的操作要求,完成了英语在真实情境中的应用。
五假设让我再上第二次下课之后我认真做了反思，如果让我重新上这节课，我会在以下方面做出改良： 1．打算工作在上课之前提前做好，由于自己的粗心大意导致u盘忘记等一系列失误耽误上课的珍贵时间。
2．在课堂导入环节让学生用历史和地理知识答复有关农业的问题时，学生没有完全用英语来说，这与一般班学生的英语根底有关，但更多的应是我对他们提供锻炼英语口语的时机不是太多，以后我会尽量给学生制造英语表达的时机，下次上课让学生答复下列问题尽量用英语。
3．在快速阅读和认真阅读局部，让学生自己举手抢答和自己阅读课文阶段，出现了学生答复下列问题积极性不高，读课文没有全心投入的情况，这是由于学生还没有完全适应我们刚刚开始进行的英语高效课堂改革，以后我会努力的探究，学习，让学生掌握并适应目前英语高效课堂的新模式。
