Unit 1 Let's Be Friends!-Preparing for the Topic-Pronunciation
This lesson is about the pronunciation part in Unit 1 "Let's Be Friends!" of the Ren'ai Science Edition (2024) English textbook for Grade 7. It focuses on teaching students the 26 English letters, including their pronunciation, order in the alphabet, and correct writing forms (both capital and small letters). Also, students will learn to distinguish vowel letters and consonant letters. Mastering these basic elements of English pronunciation is fundamental for students to build a solid foundation for future English learning, such as accurate word reading, spelling, and better listening and speaking skills.
教学目标
Students are able to sing the ABC song fluently.
They can master the order of the English alphabet without hesitation.
Students will be capable of writing the 26 letters correctly in both capital and small letter forms.
They should accurately master the pronunciation of each of the 26 English letters.
Students can clearly tell the difference between vowel letters (Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu) and consonant letters.
教学重难点
Key Points
The correct pronunciation of the 26 English letters, especially those letters with easily confused pronunciations, like "Bb" and "Dd", "Ff" and "Ll".
Remembering the order of the English alphabet firmly, which is crucial for activities such as looking up words in a dictionary in the future.
Correct writing of the 26 letters, including the stroke order and the proportion of capital and small letters.
Difficult Points
Helping students accurately distinguish the vowel phonemes in different letters and classify the letters according to vowel phonemes. For example, some students may have difficulty understanding why "Hh", "Jj", "Kk" are grouped together with "Aa" based on the vowel phoneme /ei/.
Overcoming students' mother - tongue influence on English letter pronunciation. For instance, in some languages, there may not be exactly the same sounds as some English letters, so students need to adjust their pronunciation habits.

教学过程
Step 1: Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual, for example, "Good morning/afternoon, class! How are you today?" and have a simple free talk with some students to create a relaxed atmosphere.
Play the ABC song video for students. Encourage them to sing along with the video as loudly as they can. After the song, ask students some simple questions, like "Do you like this song? Have you ever sung this song before?" This can arouse students' interest and recall their initial impression of the English letters.
Step 2: Presentation (10 minutes)
Use flashcards with big letters on them. Show the students the letter "Aa" and pronounce it clearly, /ei/, and ask students to repeat after you several times. Then explain the pronunciation method, for example, say, "When we pronounce 'Aa', we open our mouth wide like this, and make the sound /ei/." Demonstrate the mouth shape and the pronunciation several times, and let students imitate.
Do the same for the next few letters, such as "Bb", "Cc", "Dd", "Ee". After presenting these letters, ask students to read them together in order. Correct their pronunciation in time if there are any mistakes.
Show the students the order of the English alphabet on the blackboard or a PPT. Point to each letter in order and read them aloud, and ask students to follow you. Explain that the alphabet is the basic order of English letters, just like the order of numbers, and it is very important to remember.
Step 3: Practice (15 minutes)
Activity 1: Listen, Repeat and Trace
Play the audio of the 26 letters' pronunciation. Students listen carefully and repeat each letter after the audio. While listening, distribute the letter - tracing worksheets to students. After repeating, ask students to trace the letters on the worksheets with a pencil, paying attention to the stroke order of both capital and small letters.
Walk around the classroom to check students' tracing and pronunciation. Give individual guidance to those students who have difficulties.
Activity 2: Classification of Letters
Write the 26 letters on the blackboard. Then draw two columns, one labeled "Vowel - related" and the other "Consonant - related".
Start with the letter "Aa", explain that it is a vowel letter, and then write the letters that have the same vowel phoneme /ei/ in the "Vowel - related" column, like "Hh", "Jj", "Kk". Explain the classification principle to students, "We classify these letters together because they all contain the vowel phoneme /ei/ in their pronunciation."
Do the same for other vowel - related groups. For example, for the /i:/ phoneme group, write "Bb", "Cc", "Dd", "Ee", "Gg", "Pp", "Tt", "Vv" in the "Vowel - related" column. Let students help you find and classify the letters.
After classifying all the vowel - related letters, the remaining letters are consonant letters, and write them in the "Consonant - related" column.
Then, ask students to read the letters in each column aloud several times to reinforce the classification.
Step 4: Consolidation (10 minutes)
Activity 3: Listen and Number
Play the audio which randomly reads some of the 26 letters. Students listen and number the letters they hear in the order of listening on a piece of paper.
After listening, ask students to exchange their papers with their deskmates and check the answers. Then play the audio again if necessary for students to correct their mistakes.
Next, write some letters on the blackboard, some in capital form and some in small form, with some missing. For example, write "A_, b, D, e, F". Ask students to write down the missing capital letters or small letters on their papers. Check the answers together.
Activity 4: Group Competition
Divide the class into several groups. Each group sends a representative to the front of the classroom.
Show a letter flashcard to the representatives. The first one who can correctly pronounce the letter and say which group of letters (vowel - related or consonant - related) it belongs to gets one point for their group.
Keep changing the flashcards and let different representatives from each group come to the front to participate. The group with the most points wins. This activity can not only review the pronunciation and classification of letters but also stimulate students' competition awareness and cooperation within the group.
Step 5: Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
Summary
Summarize the key points of this class with students. Review the 26 letters' pronunciation, their order in the alphabet, and the classification of vowel and consonant letters. Ask students some questions to check their understanding, such as "Who can tell me the five vowel letters? What is the pronunciation of 'Ww'?"
Emphasize the importance of mastering these basic knowledge of English letters for future English learning, including reading words, spelling, and improving listening and speaking skills.
Homework
Ask students to read the 26 English letters correctly for five times at home. They can read them to their parents or record their reading on their mobile phones to listen to and correct themselves.
Require students to write the 26 letters correctly with capital letters and small letters in the order of the English alphabet for three times in their exercise books. Remind them to pay attention to the stroke order and writing norms.
Ask students to sing the ABC song to their family members and teach their family members the pronunciation of some letters if possible.
教学反思
In this class, through various activities such as singing the ABC song, listening and repeating, and group competitions, students' enthusiasm for learning was effectively mobilized. Most students actively participated in class activities, and their pronunciation and understanding of the English letters have improved to a certain extent.
However, there are still some problems. In the process of students' individual pronunciation imitation, some students are still affected by their mother - tongue pronunciation habits and have difficulty in accurately imitating some English letter pronunciations. In the future, more individual guidance and more targeted pronunciation training, such as more listening practice and detailed mouth - shape demonstrations, should be provided.
When classifying letters, some students still have misunderstandings about the classification principle. In the follow - up review, more examples and practice exercises can be given to help students better understand and master this knowledge point.
In group competitions, some students in groups were too eager to answer questions, resulting in a certain degree of chaos. In future group activities, it is necessary to further clarify the rules and cultivate students' sense of order and cooperation awareness.
