Good morning, dear judges! I’m number X candidate applying for senior high school English teacher. It’s my great honor to be here to share my presentation. And my topic today is Unit 2 Travelling Around. In order to make my presentation much clearer, I’m going to divide it into 6 parts, which are analysis of the teaching material, analysis of students, teaching methods, learning methods, teaching procedures and blackboard design. Now I am going to present them one by one.
一、说教材
First of all, I will give a brief analysis of the teaching material. This lesson is a grammar lesson, taken from unit 2 of Book 1 for senior school students, published by People’s Education Press. It mainly deals with some sentences and a conversation where the present continuous tense expresses future plans. By studying the lesson, students can learn a new function of the tense and learn to describe plans in a different way, during which students can also improve their abilities of induction and deduction.
Teaching Objectives
Given the analysis of teaching materials, the teaching objectives are designed as follows:
1. Students can understand the function of the present continuous tense in future topics.
2. Students can remember rules of the present continuous tense expressing future plans.
3. Students can put the present continuous tense in actual use to talk about future plans flexibly.
4. Through kinds of reading activities, students’ comprehensive language abilities will be improved.
5. Students will learn to cherish time and make reasonable plans for a better future.
Accordingly, I set the following teaching key and difficult points:
Key Point
Students can master the rule of the present continuous tense expressing future plans.
Difficult Point
Students can talk about future plans with the present continuous tense flexibly.
二、说学情
In order to make our teaching more targeted, it is necessary for us to analyze the situation of students. Students in senior high school have studied English for at least 6 years and grasped a certain amount of English grammar knowledge. But grammar is still a difficult point for them. Meanwhile, students’ ability of using English is limited. Their abstract thinking is not fully developed and they can be easily distracted. Therefore, it is important to help them to have a clear understanding of grammar rules.
三、说教学方法
Teaching methods
As suitable teaching methods are crucial to classes, I will specially employ the task-based language teaching method, communicative approach and situational approach. These different teaching methods can guarantee various activities to enliven our class so that students can participate in the class actively. Therefore, they can learn by doing various interesting activities.
Learning methods
Modern foreign language teaching emphasizes that students should be encouraged to develop effective learning strategies and autonomous learning abilities by means of experiencing, practicing, participating, exploring and cooperating under the teacher’s guidance, so I will guide students to do tasks by independent exploration and group work.
