教学设计理念
主题语境引领下的词汇、语法教学,英语学习活动观
1. 主题语境融合跨文化交际:以 "海外留学适应" 为主题,将语言学习与跨文化体验融合,通过文本分析培养跨文化沟通能力与全球视野。
2. 英语学习活动观驱动:按“学习理解—应用实践—迁移创新”设计活动,引导学生从文本解构留学挑战,在实践中运用语言描述适应策略,在创新中反思文化差异的现实意义。
3. 核心素养导向:通过 Xie Lei 的留学案例,培养逻辑推理、批判性思维与跨文化意识,落实 "国际视野" 与 "文化传播" 的学科育人目标。
教材分析
What:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述中国学生 Xie Lei 在英国参加交换项目的经历。文章以时间为线索,介绍了她在日常生活、学术要求等方面面临的挑战及应对策略,体现了跨文化适应的过程与意义。
Why:学生通过阅读语篇,了解海外留学的常见挑战与解决方法,培养跨文化交际能力;学习相关词汇和长难句结构,提升英语语言能力。
How:作者按 "背景介绍 — 挑战描述 — 适应成果" 的脉络组织语篇,通过具体事例(如寄宿家庭生活、课堂展示)展现留学体验。文中使用了 "adapt to""acknowledge""boost confidence" 等词块,以及较多复合句(如让步状语从句、定语从句)。
学情分析
1.What I know
词汇方面:学生已掌握 "culture""challenge""adapt" 等基础词汇,具备初步跨文化知识。
语法方面:熟悉简单句和部分复合句结构,但对长难句(如含多个从句的复合句)的分析能力较弱。
背景知识方面:对留学话题有一定兴趣,但缺乏真实跨文化适应的经验。
2.What I want to know
学生可能想了解海外留学的具体挑战及应对策略。
希望学习描述跨文化经历的高级词汇和句式。
对如何分析英语长难句结构有需求。
3.What I learned
主题内容方面:通过阅读,学生将理解跨文化适应的过程,学习应对挑战的方法。
语言知识方面:掌握 "qualification""tutor""participation" 等词汇,以及状语从句、分词作定语等语法现象。
教学目标
1.语言能力
学生能够理解课文中跨文化交际相关词汇(如 "exchange programme""host family""academic requirements")和长难句结构。能运用所学词汇和句式描述留学挑战与适应经历,如使用 "not only...but also..." "while" 等连接词。
2.学习能力
指导学生掌握阅读策略(如预测、略读、扫读),快速获取 Xie Lei 的经历细节。通过小组合作,提升信息整理与口头表达能力。
3.文化意识
学生能够理解中西方文化差异在生活、学术中的体现,培养跨文化同理心。认识文化交流的重要性,树立积极传播本土文化的意识。
4.思维品质
分析 Xie Lei 适应过程的逻辑,梳理 "挑战 — 应对 — 成长" 的脉络。批判性思考留学挑战的普遍性,提出个性化的应对方案。
教学重难点

Activity 5 Thinking---Discussion
Which challenge do you think is most difficult for Xie Lei? Why?
Academic challenges;
Cultural loneliness;
Daily life adaptation;
Cross-cultural communication
使用句型:
I think...is the most difficult because... She coped with it by... This shows that...
Suggested Answers:
Group 1: "Academic challenges are the most difficult"
"I think the academic requirements were the toughest for Xie Lei because British universities emphasize critical thinking, which is different from Chinese education. For example, when she first wrote an essay, she was confused about balancing others’ ideas with her own. She solved this by reading extensively and consulting her tutor. This shows that proactive learning is key to overcoming academic barriers."
Group 2: "Cultural loneliness poses the biggest challenge"
"Living far from family in a new culture must be extremely lonely. Xie Lei chose a host family, but even so, she missed home. Sharing Chinese food (like stir-fried tomatoes and eggs) helped her connect with the host family and ease homesickness. This teaches us that cultural exchange can turn loneliness into belonging."
Group 3: "Daily life adaptation as the primary challenge"
"Adapting to public transport and language barriers in daily life was most challenging. Imagine not understanding bus routes or asking for groceries! Xie Lei coped by practicing asking for help repeatedly. Her progress—from nervous to independent—shows that patience with small steps leads to big changes."
Group 4: "Cross-cultural communication as the hidden challenge"
"Beyond obvious challenges, Xie Lei had to navigate social norms, like speaking up in class. At first, she was hesitant, but participating in presentations boosted her confidence. This proves that stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for cultural integration."
●通过小组活动,讨论Xielei遇到的挑战,运用所学词汇和句式表达观点,提升口语交际能力。

作业内容
作业设计意图
本节课作业二选一,为分层作业,难度有所区别。基础一般的同学可以选择作业一,基础较好的同学可以选择作业二。
作业一(基础):写一篇 60 词的短文,描述 "One challenge you faced in daily life and how you solved it",使用 "first...then...finally..." 结构。
作业二(提升):写一篇 100 词的短文,分析 "Studying abroad: Benefits and challenges",需包含观点、理由和结论。
作业一参考答案:
A Daily Life Challenge
One challenge I faced was learning to ride a bike. First, I kept falling off and felt discouraged. Then, my father held the bike firmly while I pedaled, teaching me to balance. Finally, after weeks of practice, I rode independently. This experience taught me patience and persistence.
作业二参考答案:
Studying Abroad: Benefits and Challenges
Studying abroad offers valuable benefits but also brings challenges. Academically, students gain global perspectives and improve language skills, as seen in Xie Lei’s case. Culturally, they learn to adapt to new environments, fostering independence. However, challenges like homesickness and academic pressure exist. For example, unfamiliar teaching methods may cause confusion.
In conclusion, while studying abroad requires courage to overcome obstacles, its rewards—personal growth and cross-cultural competence—make it a worthwhile experience.
●通过写作练习,让学生在真实的语境中运用所学知识,提高学生的语言综合运用能力、逻辑思维和表达能力,和迁移跨文化思考能力

教学反思
一、优点
文本分段梳理清晰,辩论关联现实,借谢蕾经历深化跨文化主题理解。
精读与辩论融合语言学习和思维训练,达成 “语言 + 思维” 能力目标 。
二、不足
小组互动中内向学生参与少,分层任务难弥补实时交流的参与不均。
文化讨论停于表面,未深挖隐性差异,文化意识培养不够深入 。
三、改进
用 “角色卡分组” 明确任务,为内向学生配对同伴,保障全员发言。
增 “文化对比工作坊”,借文本、视频深挖差异,深化文化讨论 。
