溫州市第八中學(xué) 王 潔
本文將從教材分析、教學(xué)方法與教材處理、教學(xué)程序、教學(xué)評價(jià)等四個(gè)方面對高中英語新教材高一（下）第十八單元New Zealand進(jìn)行說明。
一． 教材分析
1．教材內(nèi)容分析
本單元的中心話題-New Zealand (新西蘭)學(xué)習(xí)新西蘭人文地理狀況的相關(guān)主題。教材以“看地圖，說地圖”為切入點(diǎn)展開聽力、對話、閱讀、寫作、綜合運(yùn)用的教學(xué)，以“新西蘭的地理，氣候，歷史，資源，畜牧業(yè)，毛利人及風(fēng)土人情等”為載體使學(xué)生接受語言知識及訓(xùn)練。新西蘭是另一說英語的重要國家，可就相關(guān)內(nèi)容做深層次挖掘和整理，拓寬其文化視野，增強(qiáng)對兩中地域及文化的差異的敏感性。
Warming up部分展現(xiàn)在學(xué)生面前一幅祖國地圖，圖中標(biāo)明鄰國、鄰海、鄰島，要求學(xué)生運(yùn)用英語中方位的表達(dá)方式來談?wù)摬煌恢谩Ｗ寣W(xué)生在情景中進(jìn)行語言操練。為了激活學(xué)生已有的相關(guān)知識，可加入“暢所欲言話祖國”（動嘴）；“描畫五洲四洋”（動手），以此達(dá)到較好的熱身之效。
Listening部分是一篇聽力材料，涉及“鯨魚島”（離斐濟(jì)島僅10分種）。300字左右的材料的信息零散繁多，共呈現(xiàn)了：鯨魚島的位置，地貌，氣候，城市，交通，農(nóng)業(yè)及旅游。為了降低聽辯的難度，聽前設(shè)計(jì)了一份列表，以增加學(xué)生聽力信息的汲取量，提高信息的準(zhǔn)確率。
Speaking部分旨在通過有關(guān)出生地的方位的對話來鞏固“Expressing location and direction”的語言功能。該部分在設(shè)計(jì)上留有空間，因此在課堂上舉行了一場“家鄉(xiāng)旅游資源推介會”，訓(xùn)練學(xué)生在真實(shí)的情景中饒有興趣地進(jìn)行口頭表達(dá)的能力和豐富學(xué)生有關(guān)描述“方位”“景點(diǎn)介紹”等的語言。
Reading是一篇介紹太平洋島國---新西蘭的文章。文章共分四部分，即新西蘭的地理位置及城市，新西蘭的氣候特征，新西蘭的旅游及鳥類資源，居住者及毛利人的歷史。通過Pre-reading, Reading & Post-reading三個(gè)步驟，循序漸進(jìn)地培養(yǎng)學(xué)生略讀與查讀等閱讀技能。同時(shí)結(jié)合新西蘭風(fēng)土人情、社交禮儀、生活習(xí)慣等方面的知識，并用競賽的方式，激發(fā)學(xué)生的合作和競爭意識。又有利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生之間的合作意識，促進(jìn)學(xué)科之間的滲透和交融。
Language study分詞匯和語法兩部分。詞匯部分設(shè)計(jì)了六組描述“l(fā)and” 的名詞與+容詞的配對練習(xí)，并在此基礎(chǔ)上造句。旨在要求學(xué)生注意名詞轉(zhuǎn)化成形容詞加詞根（后綴）的構(gòu)詞法；培養(yǎng)學(xué)生準(zhǔn)確使用修飾語的習(xí)慣及能力。語法項(xiàng)目是有關(guān)“It”的使用，掌握 “It”(1) 指代時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、氣候、距離；(2) 作形式主語。在語法訓(xùn)練中，即要注意加強(qiáng)學(xué)生的合作學(xué)習(xí)，又須使機(jī)械操練帶有一定的情景性和生活化。
Integrating skills分為讀、寫兩部分。學(xué)生通過閱讀另一篇有關(guān)新西蘭人文生活的資料，要求通讀全文找出段落大意即文章框架。旨在讓學(xué)生根據(jù)此框架進(jìn)行寫作，即所居住地或省的描述文章。該操練旨在提高學(xué)生寫作結(jié)構(gòu)多樣，信息內(nèi)容密集的介紹地點(diǎn)的文章的水平。
Checkpoint通過學(xué)生自評方式，幫助他們簡要總結(jié)本單元語法重點(diǎn)-It的用法。該部分還鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生自己去總結(jié)本單元的重點(diǎn)詞組及表達(dá)。
2．教學(xué)重點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn)
重點(diǎn)：
1. 掌握英語中方位的表達(dá)方式,
2. “It” 用作主語(指代時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、距離及用做形式主語)
3. 學(xué)習(xí)及拓展與新西蘭相關(guān)的詞匯和知識
難點(diǎn):
依照框架恰當(dāng)寫作描述國家或地區(qū)的介紹性文章
二． 教學(xué)目標(biāo)
理論依據(jù)：《新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》（實(shí)驗(yàn)稿）
根據(jù)《新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》（實(shí)驗(yàn)稿）關(guān)于總目標(biāo)的具體描述，結(jié)合高一學(xué)生實(shí)際和教材內(nèi)容，分語言知識、語言技能、學(xué)習(xí)策略、情感態(tài)度、文化意識五個(gè)方面制定相應(yīng)教學(xué)目標(biāo)。

2) Weihai lies about 88 kilometers east of Yantai.
3) She is from Shentong, a small village, 30 kilometers south of Jinan.
4) It is some 3,500 kilometers from Polynesia to New Zealand, which they traveled in narrow boats.

2. Finish Ex on Page 40.
3. Grammar study: Tell what “it” in the following refers to:
Teacher says: Last night when I was alone at home, I heard a knock at my defense door. I was so frightened that I did dare to open the door, for I wondered who it was outside the door. What does it stand for? ( It stands for an unknown person whose gender one doesn’t know.)
Goal: 以情景導(dǎo)入本單元語法的學(xué)習(xí), 即： “It”的用法。
4． Class work

It’s rather exciting that one makes something impossible possible. （代that-clause）
It doesn’t interest me whether he comes or not. （代 whether-clause）
一人找出評價(jià)的形容詞，partner則說出一個(gè)詞組或完整的句子，然后將兩部分連成一句，要求(1) It用做形式主語 (2)句子意思適當(dāng)。
Goal: 1. 檢測學(xué)生正確使用 “It” 做形式主語的的能力。
