溫州市第八中學 王 潔

本文將從教材分析、教學方法與教材處理、教學程序、教學評價等四個方面對高中英語新教材高一（下）第十八單元New Zealand進行說明。

一． 教材分析

1．教材內容分析

本單元的中心話題-New Zealand (新西蘭)學習新西蘭人文地理狀況的相關主題。教材以“看地圖，說地圖”為切入點展開聽力、對話、閱讀、寫作、綜合運用的教學，以“新西蘭的地理，氣候，歷史，資源，畜牧業，毛利人及風土人情等”為載體使學生接受語言知識及訓練。新西蘭是另一說英語的重要國家，可就相關內容做深層次挖掘和整理，拓寬其文化視野，增強對兩中地域及文化的差異的敏感性。

Warming up部分展現在學生面前一幅祖國地圖，圖中標明鄰國、鄰海、鄰島，要求學生運用英語中方位的表達方式來談論不同位置。讓學生在情景中進行語言操練。為了激活學生已有的相關知識，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”（離斐濟島僅10分種）。300字左右的材料的信息零散繁多，共呈現了：鯨魚島的位置，地貌，氣候，城市，交通，農業及旅游。為了降低聽辯的難度，聽前設計了一份列表，以增加學生聽力信息的汲取量，提高信息的準確率。

Speaking部分旨在通過有關出生地的方位的對話來鞏固“Expressing location and direction”的語言功能。該部分在設計上留有空間，因此在課堂上舉行了一場“家鄉旅游資源推介會”，訓練學生在真實的情景中饒有興趣地進行口頭表達的能力和豐富學生有關描述“方位”“景點介紹”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三個步驟，循序漸進地培養學生略讀與查讀等閱讀技能。同時結合新西蘭風土人情、社交禮儀、生活習慣等方面的知識，并用競賽的方式，激發學生的合作和競爭意識。又有利于培養學生之間的合作意識，促進學科之間的滲透和交融。

Language study分詞匯和語法兩部分。詞匯部分設計了六組描述“land” 的名詞與+容詞的配對練習，并在此基礎上造句。旨在要求學生注意名詞轉化成形容詞加詞根（后綴）的構詞法；培養學生準確使用修飾語的習慣及能力。語法項目是有關“It”的使用，掌握 “It”(1) 指代時間、地點、氣候、距離；(2) 作形式主語。在語法訓練中，即要注意加強學生的合作學習，又須使機械操練帶有一定的情景性和生活化。

Integrating skills分為讀、寫兩部分。學生通過閱讀另一篇有關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。旨在讓學生根據此框架進行寫作，即所居住地或省的描述文章。該操練旨在提高學生寫作結構多樣，信息內容密集的介紹地點的文章的水平。

Checkpoint通過學生自評方式，幫助他們簡要總結本單元語法重點-It的用法。該部分還鼓勵學生自己去總結本單元的重點詞組及表達。

2．教學重點和難點

重點：

1. 掌握英語中方位的表達方式,

2. “It” 用作主語(指代時間、地點、距離及用做形式主語)

3. 學習及拓展與新西蘭相關的詞匯和知識

難點:

依照框架恰當寫作描述國家或地區的介紹性文章

二． 教學目標

理論依據：《新課程標準》（實驗稿）

根據《新課程標準》（實驗稿）關于總目標的具體描述，結合高一學生實際和教材內容，分語言知識、語言技能、學習策略、情感態度、文化意識五個方面制定相應教學目標。

1． 語言知識

單詞：理解、內化、運用以下生詞-- surround, settle, sign, , relation, landscape, cattle, region, agreement, export, agricultural, subtropical, ethnic, mainly;

詞組：lie in/to/on/off, take possession of, sign an agreement, refer to, make up, be marked with, turn to doing, be shipped to, be of high quality

功能：學習掌握一些用于描述地點和方位的結構句式，如：

1) He is from Weihai, a city in northeast Shandong.

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.

語法：復習、掌握：It用做主語(指代時間、地點、距離及用做形式主語)

2． 語言技能

聽：捕捉特定信息、抓關鍵詞（如：地理、氣候、城市、河流、歷史等），聽懂一篇地區或國家的介紹性文章。

說：學生能熟練掌握與話題相關的常用詞匯與表達，如：如何在現實生活中就地點和方位進行準確的全方位的表述，同時使學生能就話題較好地完成一些開放性話題，以提高在真實語境中的英語交際能力。

讀：獲取關于New Zealand的相關信息,且進行skimming, scanning, careful reading, generalization; inference等閱讀微技能訓練。

寫：能分層次、分段落地描寫一篇國家或地區的介紹性文章。

3． 學習策略：

學生能在一定程度上形成自主學習、有效交際、信息處理和英語思維的能力。如：培養學生使用圖書館、網絡查閱資料的能力。

4． 情感態度：

(1) 在有趣的話題激勵下，誘導學生積極參與，充分調動他們學習的興趣。

(2) 學習新西蘭人文地理狀況，拓寬學生的文化視野；同時鼓勵學生以滿腔的熱忱在語言情景中激發愛國主義熱情。

(3) 在共同完成設計“溫州旅游資源推介會”、“ 暢所欲言話祖國”、“描畫五洲七洋”等任務的過程中，加強團體協作意識。

5． 文化意識：

增強對中新兩國地域及文化差異的敏感性，培養世界意識；通過文化地域對比，加深對祖國相關知識的理解，增強對祖國的熱愛之情。

三． 教學方法與教材處理

教學方法：

根據我們幾年來“第二語言習得論”和“整體語言教學”的理論和實踐，同時滲透當前教學改革，課程改革等的先進理念。為達成上述教學目標，本人運用任務型教學途徑，英語課堂設計采用 “P-T-P” 自主學習立體模式。（Pre-task--- Task-cycle--- Post-task）

說明：

1． Pre-task:

引入話題，激活學生下網絡和掃清詞匯障礙，明確學習任務和任務完成的步驟， 激發學習英語興趣。

學生：認知處于主動狀態，有完成任務的強烈愿望。

教師：學習的組織者、促進者；善導、激趣的過程。

2． Task-cycle: 任務的完成過程。

學生：用英語做事，運用體驗、參與、合作、實踐、交流、探究等方式進行自主學習的過程，發展聽、說、讀、寫綜合英語技能。

教師：指導者、幫助者、參與者、合作者的角色；引思的過程。

3． Post-task: 展示成果，交流成果的過程。

學生：體驗成功和喜悅，自我評價、小組評價、認識自己、樹立自信、反思自己、調控自己。

教師：評價者、總結者；總結教學中的成功與不足；發現學生學習中的問題和不足；精講過程。

總體：學生愿學-樂學-慣學-論學過程。

師生真正學習共同體形成過程；教與學的交往、互動，師生雙方交流，相互溝通、相互啟發、相互補充。

教材處理：

綜上所述，我把本單元的任務確定為：

學生能根據框架, 運用所學詞匯和短語, 圍繞國家的地理位置人文歷史、能源等話題，得體而有邏輯地介紹一個國家或地區。其三個環節如下：

Pre-task: 學生回憶已有的地理知識，暢所欲言祖國的地大物博；以激活背景知識，使課堂倍感親切。

Task-cycle: 學生完成圍繞國家人文這一話題，展開聽、說、讀、寫的各項任務，學會聽、說、讀、寫的各項技能，強化“介紹國家和地區”的表達能力，為完成任務作好鋪墊。

Post-task: 達成任務，展示成果，反饋學習情況。

四．教材安排

根據學生學習英語的特點和規律，學習階段的側重以及高一學生的發展，我把本單元劃分為6課時：聽力、口語、閱讀（2課時）、語言（0.5課時）、寫作、評價（0.5課時）。同時安排一些單元教學前和單元教學后的活動任務。
