6.Teaching reflection
课堂阅读教学任务的设计,使得文章的结构更加清晰,逻辑思维更加清楚,有利于学生快速定位答案,减低了阅读的难度。通过读、写来培养学生综合运用语言的能力,学生能积极主动参与到教学中来,师生互动、生生互动较好,气氛活跃,做到了环环相扣,步步为营。但是由于这节课生单词量大,学生基础较差,很多学生虽然阅读题目能做出来,但是不理解句子,更不会读句子。尤其是最后一个环节的设计,要求学生当堂组织一篇短文,对于一部分学生来说有点难度。
评价方法:
本节主要采取的激励性评价和过程性评价,通过师生互动,生生互动给予学生自由发展的空间与机会,对每一位学生的发言和表现,都给予了积极地鼓励性的评价,评价中多鼓励少批评,多给学生一些自信和尊重,也通过小组合作和当堂写作来检测学习成效,真正做到了在“学在其中,乐在其中”。针对本课的特点,我具体采取了任务型教学法:倡导体验参与,培养自主学习能力。课前布置任务,要求学生预先读本课新词。再让学生带着任务有目的地上课,并在课堂学习中不断获得完成此任务所必须的知识、能力、技能等,为最终完成任务作全面的准备。
