Module 7 Summer in Los Angeles-Unit 3 Language in use 教案2024-2025学年外研版英语八年级下册

Module 7 Summer in Los Angeles-Unit 3 Language in use 【教学目标】 Language Competence: Consolidate grammar (present perfect tense, modal verbs for suggestions) and vocabulary (summer camp activities), applying them in context-specific communication. Cultural Awareness: Recognize language features in English-speaking summer programs, compare linguistic differences in formal/informal invitations. Thinking Quality: Summarize language rules through contextual analysis, logically classify functional expressions (e.g., invitations, suggestions). Learning Ability: Use inductive learning to master grammar patterns, apply language rules to complete writing tasks (e.g., program recommendations). 【教学重难点】 Key Points: Present perfect tense (focus on "have/has + past participle") and modal verbs ("should", "can") for functional communication. Difficult Points: Distinguishing between "have been to" and "have gone to", correctly using phrasal verbs (e.g., "send for", "depend on"). Mastering conditional sentences ("If you... , you will...") and avoiding common errors in formal/informal writing styles. 【教学过程】 T: In the previous two units of Module 7, we’ve explored a lot about summer in Los Angeles. We learned about Lingling’s preparation for her trip to study English there, and we filled out forms to get ready for an English course in LA. Now, let’s do a quick brain - storming. I’ll give you one minute to write down as many words and phrases related to our Los Angeles study topic as you can. Words about travel, accommodation, courses, and things to take. Start! (Students write down words and phrases) T: Time’s up! Now, who’d like to share some of the words or phrases you’ve written? S1: Shorts, trousers, sunglasses, passport. S2: Host family, hotel, form, course. S3: General English course, Exam preparation course, good value for money. T: Wonderful! You all remember a lot. Today in Unit 3 “Language in use”, we’re going to review and further practice the grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures we’ve learned, and use them in different real - life - like situations. Open your books to Unit 3. 语法复习与练习 T: First, let’s focus on the coordinating conjunctions “and”, “but”, and “or”. We’ve seen them in the conversations and texts of the previous units. Who can tell me what “and” is used for? S: “And” is used to connect two related ideas or words. For example, “I like apples and bananas.” T: Excellent! What about “but”? S: “But” shows a contrast. Like “He is tall but I am short.” T: Great! And “or”? S: “Or” is for showing a choice, like “You can go by bus or by bike.” T: Perfect! Now, I have some sentences on the screen. Fill in the blanks with “and”, “but”, or “or”. (Showing sentences: 1. You can choose the General English course ______ the Exam preparation course. 2. The weather in Los Angeles is sunny ______ warm. 3. I want to go to the beach, ______ I have to finish my homework first.) You have two minutes to work on them. (Students complete the exercise) T: Let’s check the answers. For the first sentence, which conjunction should we use? S: Or. T: Right! Because it’s showing a choice between two courses. The second one? S: And. T: Correct. Here we’re connecting two similar and related descriptions of the weather. And the last one? S: But. T: Well done! There’s a contrast between wanting to go to the beach and having to finish homework first. T: Now, let’s play a game. I’ll say a sentence, and you use a coordinating conjunction to add another part to make a new sentence. I’ll start. “I like reading books...” S: ... and I also enjoy watching movies. T: Good! Your turn. “She wants to study in Los Angeles...” S: ... but she is worried about the cost. T: Excellent! One more. “You can wear a T - shirt...” S: ... or you can wear a blouse. 词汇拓展与巩固 T: Next, let’s review and expand our vocabulary. Look at the word “weigh”. We learned it means to find out how heavy something is. Now, who can make a sentence using “weigh”? S: I weighed myself on the scale this morning. T: Great! Do you know the noun form of “weigh”? S: Weight. T: Right. Now, make a sentence with “weight”. S: The weight of my schoolbag is too heavy. T: Well done! Let’s move on to “detail”. We know it’s about small pieces of information. I want you to work in pairs. One person describes an object, and the other person asks for more details. For example, A: I bought a new book. B: What’s the title of the book? What’s it about? And so on. You have three minutes to practice. (Students practice in pairs) T: Stop! Now, some pairs come to the front and show us your conversations. Pair 1: A: I’m going to a party. B: When is the party? What kind of party is it? What should I wear? A: It’s on Saturday evening. It’s a birthday party. You can wear a nice dress or smart trousers. 综合语言运用活动 T: Now, we’re going to do a more challenging activity. Imagine you are a travel agent promoting the English courses in Los Angeles, and your partner is a student who wants to study there. You need to use all the knowledge we’ve learned, including vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures. First, the “travel agent” should introduce the courses, accommodation options, and other details. Then, the “student” can ask questions and make choices. You have five minutes to prepare your conversations. (Students prepare in pairs) T: Time’s up! Which pair wants to come to the front and act out your conversation? Pair 2: Travel Agent: Hello! Welcome to our English courses in Los Angeles. We have two great courses. The General English course lasts for 3 weeks, and it’s good for improving your daily English skills. And the Exam preparation course is 4 weeks long, which is perfect if you want to prepare for English exams. Student: That sounds interesting. But I’m a bit worried about the cost. Are the courses good value for money? Travel Agent: Absolutely! Our courses are very cost - effective. You can also choose to stay with a host family or in a hotel. Staying with a host family is a great way to practice English every day, but if you prefer more privacy, a hotel might be better for you. Student: I see. How do I sign up for the course? Travel Agent: Just fill out our form. You need to provide your name, age, contact information, English level, and your choice of course and accommodation. Student: Okay, thank you. I’ll think about it. T: Excellent performance! Let’s give them a big hand. Now, other pairs, exchange your roles and practice again. 阅读与写作拓展 T: Now, look at the reading materials on the screen. It’s a short passage about a student’s experience studying English in Los Angeles. Read it silently and then answer the questions below. (Showing the passage and questions related to vocabulary, grammar, and main ideas) You have four minutes. (Students read and answer the questions) T: Let’s check the answers. Now, based on what you’ve read and what we’ve learned in this module, I want you to write a short paragraph about your ideal English - learning trip. You can choose any place you like, but use the words, grammar, and sentence patterns we’ve practiced today. For example, talk about the course you want to take, your accommodation choice, and what you hope to achieve. You have ten minutes to write. (Students write their paragraphs) T: After you finish, exchange your writings with your deskmate. Check each other’s paragraphs for grammar mistakes, vocabulary usage, and whether the ideas are well - connected. Then, help your deskmate make improvements. 课堂总结 T: Class, today we’ve had a very productive lesson. We’ve reviewed and practiced coordinating conjunctions “and”, “but”, and “or”, expanded our vocabulary, and used the language in various activities like role - playing, reading, and writing. Remember, the key to mastering English is to keep practicing using these language points in different situations. 作业布置 T: For your homework, I want you to create a travel brochure about an English - learning destination. It can be Los Angeles or any other place. Include information about courses, accommodation, local attractions, and tips for travelers. Use colorful pictures (you can draw them or print from the Internet) and write at least 150 words. Make it as attractive as possible. We’ll share our brochures in the next class. That’s all for today. See you next time! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
