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.

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.

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.
