Lesson 61多媒体教学设计方案

教学目的：

　　1. How to use location words to describe the position of important buildings.

　　2. How to talk about different ways of travelling from one place to another.

教学重点和难点：问路的表达方式。

课堂教学设计：

　Step1 Revision

　　复习以前学过的有关问路的句型及指点方向的日常交际用语。

　　（图片演示对话）1. Where’s the…?

　　A: Excuse me. Where’s North Street Hospital, Please?

　　B: Go along this street, and take the second turning on the right.

　　A: Thank you very much.

　　（录像放映）2. Is there a … near here?

　　归纳交际用语：

　　Walk along this road.

　　Take the … turning on the left/right.

　　It’s about … metres along on the right/left.

　Step2 Presentation

　　导入新课，复习前面学习的关于询问方向的日常交际用语，从而导入这节课所要学的关于问路的另一种表达方式。这样既可以巩固以前学过的知识，同时又和本节课要学的知识联系起来，加强知识的综合性。

　　1. Revise giving direction:

　　A: Excuse me, is there a hospital near here?

　　B: Walk along this road and take the first turning on the left.

　　2. Learn new words

　　教师让学生看看图中的地点名称有哪些没学过的，学生发现图中已用红色圈起来的地点名称都没学过，教师告诉学生这些就是本节课所要学的新词汇：lady ladies’ and men’s rooms church, library, cafe and video shop。

　　3. Read and act

　　（录像放映）演示关于询问到图书馆的情景对话，让学生观看，然后教师对重点知识进行讲解。具体包括下面几个内容：

　　（1）问路的表达：Can you tell me the way to the library? ；

　　（2）教学新词汇：tell, cross, crossing, across, miss。

　　（3）辨析cross/crossing/across

　　A. cross与across都可译作“横穿/越过”，但词性不同。cross是动词，across是介词，cross sth. = go across sth.

　　Go across the bridge. 横穿过那座桥。

　　B. go across 横穿过，区别于 go along沿着，一直走。如：

　　go across the street 横穿过街道，

　　go along/ up / down the street 沿着街道走。

　　C. crossing n. 十字路口。如：

　　Turn right/left at the second/first. . . crossing. 在第二/一个路口向右/右拐。

　　=Take the second /first. . . turning on the right/left.

　　讲解reach这个新单词：reach vt.意为“ 到达”相当 get to ; arrive (in/at) 如： They reached Italy yesterday. 昨天他们到了意大利。

　　Note the different between the usage of reach, arrive (at/in) and get (to)

　　•You can’t miss it.

　　（学生活动）让学生看着上面的地图，问学生：How can I get to the church? 并帮助学生从课本Part 3 的方框中选择句子回答。如：Go along this road and take the second turning to the right. Walk across a bridge. Go on until you reach the end. You can’t miss it.

　　接着让学生两人一组造类似的对话，最后选择几组学生在全班表演。

　　教师换用其它的地点（如：church, cafe, etc），让学生看图仿照 Part2对话内容进行训练，先师生进行对话，然后让学生进行俩俩对话，再让两组学生进行表演。

　Step4 Practice

　　（录像放映）情景教学：对话演示关于问路和指路的情景交际，让学生创设各种情景进行表演。

　　2、教学难点：be in hospital maybe

　　四、媒体的选择与组合：

　　 1、设计思想：本课为一对话，语言点不多，仅仅让学生读教师讲解既显单薄，也显枯燥，因此，选用语言、投影、录像、录音等几种媒体进行教学，激发学生的学习兴趣，加深学生对知识的重难点的理解、掌握。其中采用视听结合的教学方法以及让学生积极参与，表演对话，使学生能熟练理解课文内容，同时训练他们的听力及口头表达式能力。

　　2、媒体选用情况表：

　　五、教学过程

　　1、教学过程简述：

　　复习：问路的一种表达方式--Which is the way to……?由一学生根据投影片上图示发问，其余学生回答；然后师生共同复习总结问路的其他表达方式及其应答。

　　引入新课，利用录像画面对本课进行内容简介，接着学生看录像，再根据录像做"判断正误"练习。转入课本，听录音，朗读对话。学生自己尝试把握重点，找出useful expressions，由教师总结、评判、投影讲解。

　　要求学生掌握以下的知识点：

　　1. What a kind girl!

　　2. What's the matter?

　　3. be in hospital

　　4. maybe

　　5. at the end of

　　6. How kind!

　　7. look around

　　其中重点讲解be in hospital及maybe。投影讲解如下：

　　注意区别

　　　His mother was in the hospital.他的妈妈生病住院了。

　　　His mother was in the hospital.他的妈妈在医院里。

　　2.maybe (也许，可能)和may be (也许是，可能是) 例：

　　Maybe you are right.也许你是对的。（maybe是副词）

　　You may be right(中文意思同上，但may be是两个词--情态动词 may后跟动词原形be)

　　再次看录像，学生要注意模仿各角色的语音、语调及表情、动作，然后四人一组进行对话练习，抽三个组进行表演。最后做巩固练习，听写本课的useful expressions，学生写在投影片上，然后评讲。
