Unit 2 Amazing numbers-Section 3 Expressing and communicating ideas-Speaking This section is centered around the theme of "Amazing numbers". It mainly focuses on helping students understand the extensive use of numbers in daily life and master the correct pronunciation of strong and weak forms of certain words. By discussing how people use numbers in various scenarios, students can not only improve their speaking ability but also enhance their awareness of the practical application of numbers in real - world situations. Additionally, the learning of strong and weak forms can make students' English pronunciation more natural and fluent. 教学目标 Students will be able to list various ways people use numbers in daily life, such as in planning a journey, making a budget, and designing buildings. Students will understand the concept of strong and weak forms of words (e.g., do, the, of, and, can, for, to) and be able to distinguish between them. 教学重难点 1. Key Points Guide students to comprehensively discuss and express how numbers are used in daily life, expanding their vocabulary and language expressions related to this topic. Teach students the rules and usage of strong and weak forms of common words, and enable them to correctly apply these forms in sentence reading. 2. Difficult Points Help students overcome the habit of mispronouncing words by always using the strong form, and make them accustomed to using weak forms in appropriate contexts to achieve natural - flowing English speech. Enable students to flexibly use the knowledge of numbers in daily life and pronunciation rules in real - life communication scenarios. 1. Vocabulary and Expressions about Using Numbers in Daily Life design buildings（设计建筑） develop new medicine（研发新药） grow crops（种庄稼） make a monthly budget（制订月度预算） plan a journey（计划一次旅行） take... for example（以…… 为例） 2. Strong and Weak Forms Some words have both strong and weak forms. For example: “for”: strong form /fɔː(r)/; weak form /fə/ “of”: strong form /ɒv/; weak form /əv/ “and”: strong form /ænd/; weak form /ən/ In most sentences, we use the weak forms of these words. But sometimes, we use the strong forms for emphasis. For example, “He went to the hospital and visited a friend.” /hi went tə ðə ˈhɒspɪtl ən ˈvɪzɪtɪd ə frend/. Here, “to”, “the”, “and” are in weak forms. “Yes, I can.” /jes aɪ kæn/. Here, “can” is in strong form for emphasis. 教学过程 1. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students and start the class. Show some pictures related to daily life, such as a calendar, a price tag, a bus number, etc. on the PPT. Then ask students some simple questions like “What can you see in the picture?” and “Where can we find numbers in our daily life?”. Encourage students to raise their hands and answer. Expected answer: We can see numbers on calendars, price tags, bus numbers, etc. 2. Presentation (10 minutes) Present the topic “Using numbers in daily life”. Explain to students that numbers play an extremely important role in our daily lives. Divide students into pairs. Let them discuss how people use numbers in daily life. Give them some examples on the PPT like “People use numbers to plan a journey. We need to decide the dates, check the train or flight schedule, and make a budget.” After a few minutes, invite some pairs to share their ideas with the whole class. Write down their useful expressions on the blackboard. Possible ideas from students: People use numbers to design buildings (decide the height, area, etc.), develop new medicine (measure the dosage), grow crops (calculate the amount of fertilizer), make a monthly budget (count income and expenses). 3. Pronunciation Teaching (10 minutes) Introduce the concept of strong and weak forms. Explain that in English, about 50 of the most common one - syllable words, such as “a, of, from, as, and” etc., each has two forms of pronunciation, one is called the strong form, and the other is the weak form. When reading a single word or emphasizing a word in a sentence, we use the strong form. The weak form is used in non - emphasized situations. Play the recording of some sentences containing words with strong and weak forms, such as “I gave her a box of chocolates for her birthday.” Let students listen carefully and pay attention to the pronunciation of the red - colored words (in this case, “of” and “for”). Then play the recording again, and ask students to read after it, imitating the pronunciation. Write some more sentences on the blackboard, for example, “He went to the park and played with his friends.” Underline the words with strong and weak forms. Invite students to come to the blackboard and mark the strong and weak forms they think, and then read the sentences. Correct their mistakes if there are any. 4. Practice (15 minutes) Group Work: Divide students into groups of four. Each group is given a topic related to using numbers in daily life, such as “Using numbers in a shopping mall”, “Using numbers in a sports event”, etc. Requirements: Group members need to have a discussion, and each member should say at least two sentences about how numbers are used in the given scenario. At the same time, they should pay attention to the pronunciation of words with strong and weak forms in their sentences. While students are discussing, the teacher walks around the classroom, listens to their conversations, and offers help and guidance when necessary. After the group discussion, each group selects a representative to come to the front of the class and report their group's discussion results. Other groups listen carefully and can ask questions or make comments. 5. Summary and Homework Assignment (5 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the various ways people use numbers in daily life and the rules of strong and weak forms. Ask students if they have any questions. Homework Assignment: Ask students to write a short passage about how they use numbers in their own daily life, with at least 80 words. They should use at least three expressions learned in this class and pay attention to the correct use of strong and weak forms in the sentences. Let students record themselves reading a passage (provided by the teacher, which contains many words with strong and weak forms) and send the recording to the class group chat for mutual evaluation. 教学反思 After this class, it is necessary to reflect on the teaching process and students' learning effects. Firstly, in the discussion part about the use of numbers in daily life, most students showed high enthusiasm and actively participated in the discussion, which achieved the expected goal of expanding their language expressions. However, some students still had difficulty coming up with new ideas, indicating that more pre - class guidance or brainstorming activities could be carried out in the future. Regarding the teaching of strong and weak forms, although students showed interest in this new knowledge, it was found that some students still had trouble accurately using weak forms in sentences during practice. This may be due to the lack of sufficient practice time in class. In future teaching, more diverse practice activities, such as pronunciation games and more real - life - based sentence - making exercises, can be designed to help students better master this knowledge. In general, through this class, students have enhanced their understanding of the role of numbers in daily life and improved their speaking and pronunciation skills to a certain extent. But there are still areas that need improvement, and continuous adjustment and optimization of teaching methods are required to better meet the learning needs of students. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
