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 5 Do you have a soccer ball? 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 the teaching material. The topic of this unit is “Do you have a soccer ball?”, which is the unit 5 of Book A of Grade 7, published by PEP. The main content is about sports. 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 volleyball, soccer ball, basketball, ping-pong bat and so on.
2. Students can use the sentence pattern “Do you have a soccer ball? Yes, I do. / No, I don’t” to talk about ownership.
3. Students will be able to talk about ownership and improve their listening and speaking ability by completing these class activities.
4. Students can cultivate the interests in sports.
Teaching Key and Difficult Points
Based on the objectives, I make the teaching key points and difficult points as follows:
Using the words volleyball, soccer ball, basketball, ping-pong bat and so on and the sentence pattern to talk about ownership are the key points of this lesson. And using 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 “sports”. 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.
四、说教学过程
According to the above analysis, teaching procedures –the most important part are designed as follows:
Step 1: Lead-in
For this step, first, I will Sing an English song about the Olympics named One World One Dream. Then I will encourage students to sing the song with me together. And I will ask a question: Who can tell me the background of the song?
The purpose of this step is to elicit the topic of sports and to arouse the interests of students.
Step 2: Presentation
In this step, I will draw some pictures of volleyball, soccer ball, basketball, ping-pong bat on the blackboard one by one and ask a question: What’s this? Students may give me their answers. Then I will write these words on the blackboard and ask students to read after me for several times. Next, I will ask students to match the words with the things in the picture. After finishing the task in 1a, students should listen to the tape and circle the words they hear in 1b. Then I will ask students “Do you have a volleyball/soccer ball/basketball/ping-pong bat?” and guide them to answer “Yes, I do. No, I don’t.” And by asking the same question, the sentence can be trained.
This step is designed to present today’s new knowledge: new words and the sentence pattern in a natural way. Students will have their first impression of the new phrases and new sentence pattern, which is the necessary input of this lesson.
