(Section A) 海原三中马玉兰［设计理念］以任务为中心的任务型语言教学是目前交际教学思想中的一种新的发展形态。它倡导“在做中学，在做中用”的教育理念，将语言应用的基本理念转化为具有实践意义的课堂教学方式。运用学习任务组织教学，强化了语言实践的过程，充分体现了语言的交际本质。在英语课堂上，实施任务和开展活动具有很大的挑战性，需要在实际操作中对教材进行重新整合，并要根据学生的环境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。 ［教材分析］教学内容为新目标英语八年级上册第六单元Section A 。学习内容主要体现在以下三点： 1. 学习并掌握下列单词： allow, wrong. midnight, guess, deal, 2. 能正确使用以下常用表达： What’s wrong? Look through big deal work out too much, too many, get into a fight with sb, allow sb to do sth, so that, be good at doing, find sb doing, No problem. 3. 能熟练掌握并使用下列重点句式： A: What’s wrong? B: I’m really tired because I studied until midnight last night. A: Why don’t you go to sleep earlier this evening? ［学生分析］1、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，学习效果很明显。 2、对于我校学生以前已经接触过给人礼貌提建议的句型结构。通过对本课的学习可以系统的学习如何表达自己的麻烦和苦以及给人合理的，好的建议。掌握用正确的语言结构表达自己及他人的麻烦和苦恼并给于相应的建议。 ［教学目标］1、知识目标：通过听说训练，学会谈论问题并给出相应建议, 注意连词的使用。 2、能力目标：培养学生的口头表达能力、阅读理解能力和写作能力。 3、情感文化目标：通过本课的学习，培养学生善于表达自己的问题，并乐于找到解决的办法，建立开朗健康的人格。 ［教学重难点］1、Talk about problems and give advice. 正确使用本课常用表达； 听力训练。 教学方法：情景教学法； 任务型教学法。 Step 1 Lead-in T：I had a fight with my best friends yesterday.What should I do ?

And “Why don’t you write a letter to your friend? 设计目的:［1、平时师生间接触多，但学生与老师的家人接触甚少，利用学生的心理和想象空间，调动学生的学习兴趣，增进师生间的相互了解。2、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。］Step 2 Revision 1、Revise the problems that you have learnt before.: Divide the class into four groups and have a competition.See which group of the students can get as much as

P5 I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family.It was sunny and hot,so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.My sister and I tried paragliding.I felt like I was a bird .It was so exciting!For lunch,we had something very special——Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious!In Weld Quay,a really old place in Georgetown,we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago.I wonder what life was like here in the past.I really enjoyed walking around the town. What a difference a day makes!My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today.We wanted to walk up to the top,but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train.We waited over an hour it was raining really hard .We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold.It was terrible!And because of the bad weather,we couldn't see anything below.My father didn't bring enough money,so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish.The food tasted great because I was so hungry! P13 Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV.Here a re the results. We found that only fifteen percent of our student s exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.And twenty per cent do not exercise at all! We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of the m use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework. The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week .Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a w eek.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular. It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind an d the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”.So start exercising be fore it’s too late! P21 My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I’m quieter and more serious than most kids.That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too,so we enjoy studying together.I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends.But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.It’s not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outgoing than me.We both like sports,but he plays tennis better,so he always wins.However,Larry often helps go bring out the best in me.So I’m getting better at https://www.360docs.net/doc/499911878.html,rry is much less hard-working,though.I always get better grades than he does,so maybe I should help him more.I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is,”A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.”My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.In fact,she’s funnier
