Good morning, dear judges! I’m very glad to be here to present my class today. I’m number 1 candidate applying for middle school English teacher. And my topic today is Unit 1 We have got lots of apples. In order to make my presentation much clearer, I’m going to divide it into 6 parts, that is, the analysis of teaching materials, 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 teaching material. The topic of this unit is “We have got lots of apples.”, which is the Module 4 Unit 1 of Book A of Grade 7, published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. The main content is about food and drinks. The topic is closely related to our daily life and it is practical for students to learn it.
Teaching Objectives
Given the analysis of teaching materials, the teaching objectives are designed as follows:
1. Students can speak and read the new words such as beef, orange, potato, coffee and so on.
2. Students can use the sentence pattern “Have we got any apples? Yes, we have./No, we haven’t.” to talk about food and drink.
3. Students will be able to talk about food and improve their listening and speaking ability by completing these class activities.
4. Students can cultivate a healthy eating habit.
Key and Difficult Points
Based on the objectives, I make the teaching key points and difficult points as follows:
Students can use the words beef, orange, potato, coffee and so on and the sentence pattern to talk about food and drink. And students can use the sentence pattern to communicate with others in the real life is the teaching difficult point.
二、说学情
After the analysis of teaching material, now let me analyze the students. Students in grade 7 are around age of 15. With the increase of their age, students’ cognitive capacity has been improved significantly and their abstract thinking ability is developing quite obviously. They can control themselves much better and can be more focused on language study. They have contained some basic knowledge of this topic “food and drink”. But their ability of communicating in English still needs to be improved. Students can learn more words and sentences to improve their language ability through self-study and cooperative study.
三、说教学方法
According to the analysis of teaching materials and students, I am going to arrange my lesson by mainly adopting the task-based language teaching method, communicative approach, and situational approach. Because 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.
Students will acquire the English knowledge and improve their English skills by autonomic learning, cooperating, exploring, and so on.
