2019-2020年高中英语必修一：Unit 4 Earthquakes说课稿
奋飞中学Hello, everyone. It’s my great honor to share my teaching ideas with all of you. My topic is A night the earth didn’t sleep taken from Unit 4 Earthquakes in New Senior English for China Student’s Book 1, by People's Education Press. And my teaching plan mainly consists of eight parts. They are as follows.
Part 1 Analysis of the teaching material
This lesson is a reading passage. It introduces the terrible earthquake in Tangshan, Hebei Province in 1976. It plays an important role in English teaching of this unit. By the end of this class, the students can know what happened before, during and after the Tangshan Earthquake.
Part 2 Analysis of the students
1. As the Senior Grade 1 students, most of them have mastered some basic reading skills, such as prediction, skimming, scanning etc. So they can get the general idea of the passage with teacher’s help.
2. It is the second period of this unit, so they have previewed the reading part but they haven’t got the idea of what serious damage that Tangshan earthquake caused.
3. Most of the students were born after 2000 year, so I suppose many of them haven’t heard of Tangshan earthquake and don’t know the background information.
Part 3 Analysis of the teaching aims
According to the New Curriculum Standards and the Outline, I set the teaching aims as follows.
Knowledge aims:1. To help Ss get the main idea of the passage.
2. To guide Ss understand some key language points.
Ability aims:
1. To help Ss develop some reading skills, such as skimming, scanning and so on.
2. To help them develop the cooperative ability by previewing the passage.
Emotional aim:
To encourage students to help people in need.
Part 4 Analysis of the key and difficult points
Key points:
1. To Understand the article clearly.
2. To Learn some new words and useful expressions.
Difficult point:
To understand the serious damage that Tangshan earthquake caused.
Part 5 Analysis of teaching methods and aids
The modern teaching demands the teacher should help to improve the
to learn. A good teaching method requires that the students should students’ ability
be the real masters in class while the teacher himself acts as a director. According to
the analysis of the teaching material and the students’l earning background, I will
use the following methods.
Task-based teaching approach(任务教学法)；Total Situational Action
method(情景教学法)；Question-and-answer activity teaching method (问答教学
法)and the Cooperative teaching method(合作教学法). I’ll also try to introduce
Inverted Class(翻转课堂) to them. The teaching aids mainly include the multimedia,
the Guiding paper, and the assistant book.
Part 6 Analysis of the teaching procedures

Part 8 Teaching evaluation
After the lesson, I think I can help Ss understand the passage clearly. But what I need to improve is that because of time limit, Ss may not make a good preparation about this passage.
That’s what I think about this lesson, and I know it’s far from perfect. As an English teacher, I still have a long way to go. So your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you!下载本文
