一、教學背景分析
（一）教學內容分析
本單元的中心話題是pen pals。主要語言功能項目是talk about countries, cities and languages。語法結構為 Where…from; Where…live and what language…speak。先以Activity1復習語言與國家的配對練習入手，
Activity2a, 2b一個綜合的聽力訓練來展示學生的聽力能力，并以聽力內容為基礎，通過Activity2c中假設的兩人對話操練來培養學生的交流能力，同時也引導學生多溝通與多交流。Activity3a是一篇email形式的閱讀文章，并有相關問題由學生在閱讀后進行回答Activity3b 是根據提供的信息進行填空的寫作練習，Activity3c是一篇模仿寫作，讓學生給自己的筆友寫一封關于本人信息的email。圍繞這些內容本單元設計了這樣三大任務
Make friends with people around the world
Task1: Task2: Task3:

并在各課時教學中設計各種各樣的小活動。通過Discussion，Classifying，Guessing等不同方式讓學生掌握本單元的知識點，用學會的知識與外國的筆友自如的交談是學習本單元的目的。

三、Teaching tools (教學工具)

四、Teaching procedures (教學過程)
Step 1.Lead-in (1a&2a)
First greet the students. Then teacher begins the topic with the Spring Festival. Do you have a nice Spring Festival? Do you go to many places? I do. Then use the fresh pictures through computer to teach the students names of countries, cities. Divide the students into groups, then show the flags and pictures, let them guess the names of countries and cites. At last finish 2a on page2. 通過這個環節，教師完成本單元的新單詞的導入，通過提供給學生每個國家的地圖，讓學生猜出國家名稱及相應的城市，學生能有意識的記憶國家及城市的名稱，并為整節課任務的完成奠定最基本的詞匯基礎。在看圖片時學生能夠做到精神集中，并能激發學生的學習興趣。
Step2.Practice(1c&2d)
①Teacher says: I goes to many places during the Spring Festival, so I have many pen pals from different countries. One of my pen pals is Sandy. She is from the UK. She lives in London. Ask the students: Do you have a pen pal? Some say yes, some say no. Then go on with “Where is she/he from?” and “Where does she/he live? Ask some students to stand up and practice with teacher.
②With these sentence structures, ask students to practice them in pairs.
③Make a Survey to understand your classmates better.
Name Country City
上面這些句型的操練都是為了最后一個任務作鋪墊。操練的過程中可以及時糾正學生的錯誤。然后讓學生填寫調查表，了解全班同學的筆友分別來自哪個國家以及居住在哪個城市，同時讓學生認識和了解一些國家和城市相關地理文化知識，拓展學生的視野, 激發他們的興趣。在完成任務的過程中運用where…from和where…live引導的特殊疑問句, 綜合運用目標語言, 詢問并回答人們的國籍和住處。
Step3.Listening comprehension(1b,2b&2c)
After practice, do a lot of listening exercises. Finish 1b on page 1 and 2b & 2c on page 2.在口頭練習的基礎上，在他們熟練掌握本課時句型以后再做這些聽力應該是不難了，這樣可以增加他們學習英語的信心。并且這些聽力材料的設計也是層層遞進，由易到難，充分考慮到了學生的層次，起到了很好的鞏固作用。

Step1.Revision (Brain Storm)
Use fresh maps of some countries, let the students say the names of these countries as quickly as possible.用這樣一個小小的游戲，既復習了上一課時的單詞又活躍了課堂的氣氛，也為這一節課新知識的教授作好了銜接。使新課的導入自然又輕松。
Step2.Lead-in(3a&SectionB1)
The teacher says we have known the names of these countries, but do you know what languages do people speak in these countries? Let’s look at the map and guess. Then do a matching exercise to consolidate the knowledge. At last do 3a and sectionA1.通過一系列的活動，讓學生知道那個國家講什么語言，學會說這些語言的單詞，為下面的任務作準備。
Step3.Listening comprehension(SectionB2a&2b)
Do some listening exercise to review what we learned before.通過這個聽力練習，鞏固前面所學的知識，也為下一步的學習舉了一個范例，相當于一小步導入。
Step4.Practice(3b&SectionB2c)
Choose your favorite pen pal and say something about him or her.
課堂活動：1．教師用電腦展示幻燈片，分別介紹, 導出新的句型：

2．教師用電腦將不同國家的筆友的資料展示給每一個學生，讓同學們選自己最喜歡的笑友并簡單的介紹自己筆友的情況，所應用句型：My pen pal's name is... He/she is from.... He/She lives in... He/She speaks…. He/She likes….
3．用自己選出的筆友跟你的同桌談論。
4．調查小組內其他同學筆友的情況，包括姓名，年齡，國籍，所住城市，所說語言，喜好及其他一些情況。充分應用所學語言不局限于本單元句型，并向全班作匯報。至此學生完成本課時所有任務的設計。
