《新目标英语》八年级上册第六单元任务型教学案例

蔡莲莲

一、设计理念

英语课堂教学中，倡导“任务型教学”的教学模式，是目前交际教学思想中的一种新的发展途径。它从根本上改变了英语教学过程中过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授、忽视对学生实际语言运用能力的培养的倾向。强调应从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式和任务型的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，使语言学习的过程成为学生形成积极的情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践、提高跨文化意识和形成自主学习能力的过程。运用学习任务教学，强化了语言实践的过程，充分体现了语言的交际本质。新目标英语是一套好教材，然而，再好的教材也要因材施教，因人而异，需要在实际操作中对教材进行重新整合，并根据学生实际和接受能力来开展行之有效的任务和活动。同时利用多媒体和网络技术，帮助解决教学难题。这样，既能为学生创设真实可视的英语学习环境，也能激发学生积极参与的欲望，引起学生的共鸣和兴趣。

二、教材分析

《新目标英语》八年级上册第六单元section A的主要学习内容有以下3点：

1词汇:tall, thin, short, heavy, calm, wild, long hair,short hair, outgoing, quiet, funny, serious, smart, athletic,ect.

2句型

Pedro is funnier than Paul.Tina is taller than Tara.Tom is more athletic than Sam.

3语法：形容词的比较级和最高级。

三、学情分析

学生曾学过形容词的比较级和最高级，但掌握的程度不够，在使用单音节和多音节形容词的比较级和最高级进行表达时总是出现错误。通过对本课的学习，可以巩固所学知识，掌握用正确的语言结构表达人物特点和对人物进行比较。同时，利用多媒体课件上英语课，学生视听感受明显，表现出极大兴趣，在欣赏和享受中学习，学习效果明显。

四、教学目标

1谈论学生感兴趣的话题，指导学生学习人物特点的单词、对人物进行比较的表达及如何正确运用形容词的比较级和最高级进行交际。

2通过学习本课，加强师生、生生间的相互了解和沟通。

3培养学生的听、说、读、写能力。

五、教学过程

Taskl: Guessing games

Show some riddles such as the following to the stu-dents to guess.

T:I have a friend. She is a girl with long hair in our class. She has a round face. She has two big eyes and a small mouth. She often wears a pair of glasses. She is thin. She is taller than any other girl. She is the mast hard-working in our class. Who is she?

S:She is shorter than you. /She has shorter hair than you. /She is thinner than you. /'--(Students get informa-tion from the photos.)

T:I'm more outgoing than my sister. ( Lead in the class subject.)

(1，游戏不仅能激发学生学习英语的积极性。又能在活动中不知不觉地培养学生动口、动脑、动手的习惯。2，利用学生的好奇心理和想象空间，既能调动学生的学习兴趣，又能增进师生间相互了解，融洽师生感情。3，了解学生对已学过的形容词比较级和最高级的掌握程度，为下一步巩固学习做好铺垫。)

Task2:Revise the adjectives to describe people's ap-pearance and personalities

1.Divide the class into four groups and have a com-petition to see which group can get as much as possible.Students can write their descriptions on a piece of paper before class. (Students must collect them before class.)

2.Show some photos of famous persons and describe them, using description words, such as short hair/long hair, curly hair/straight hair, tall/short,...etc, on the screen.

(1，复习已学内容，自然延伸到新课学习，起到承上启下的作用。2，开展竞赛活动，既可活跃课堂气氛，又可提高求知欲，一举多得。)

Task3 : Presentution

3.Get students to introduce the rules of the compara-tive and superlative degrees of adjectives. (Show them on

the screen.)

(1，充分利用课本资源和网络资源。进行词汇教学。2，让学生归纳总结语法知识点，体现以学生为中心的教学特点。)

Task4: Listening

1.Listen to the tape and number the pictures in 1b.

2.Listen to the tape and complete the chat in 2a.Listen again and fill in chat in 2b.

(听力训练既是对知识的巩固，也为下一步的任务输出提供了输人材料。)

TaskS:Pairwork&groupwork

1.Imagine your partner is a famous person, interview him/her.(Show an example on the screen.)

2.Divide the class into 4 groups and then work in groups.

3.Suppose you are a super star in the future, design your future.

(1，这些活动既有利于培养学生互助合作精神，又体现了个性化发展。2_活动主题的难易符合学生实际，操作具有可行性。3，“名人专访”、“公众投票”、“明日之星”这些生动活泼的场面，真正体现了“以人为本”的任务型语言教学模式。)

4.Ask students to write another letter.

T: You are Isabel now. Write a letter to reply Liu Li. Talk about the same and different between you and one of your friends.

5.Choose two or three to share the replies with the whole class.

(1，这一环节是基于听说训练之上，培养学生的读写能力，在课堂内强化目标语言。2，对教材进行重新整合，既有效地控制了难易梯度，又不失时机地为学生创造了互相学习的机会，充分调动了学生的创造性思维和发散性思维能力。)

Task7: Consolidation and sum-up

1.Give studentsa chanceto sum up what have learned in this class. (Students can talk about it freely.)Then teacher makes a brief sum-up.

六、案例反思

新课标倡导的“任务型教学”模式无疑是英语教学过程中最有效的途径，是新课标赋予我们的历史重任。但教学有法，教无定法。只要能最大限度地开发学生的潜力，培养学生自主学习的能力，使其终身受益，就是好方法。同时还要结合教学实践学习理论，开展课堂教学活动研究，提倡反思式教学。以培养语言运用能力为宗旨，以学生为主体，以话题为主线，以任务为中心，实行课堂教学任务化、课外作业项目化、评价方式过程化的教学模式。将课堂还给学生，充分发挥学生的主题作用，使教学活动真正建立在学生自主学习、主动探索的基础上，构建以学习者为中心，以学生自主活动为基础的新型教学模式。教师只有不断学习、不断实践、不断反思、不断进行自我诊断，找出自己的不足，才能进步，才能完善自我的教学理念和教学方法。
