Unit 2 Meet My Family!-Preparing for the Topic-Listening & Speaking
This part is from Unit 2 "Meet My Family!" of the Ren'ai Science Edition English textbook for Grade 7. It centers around the theme of family. Through Kangkang's family photo, students are introduced to the topic. The content is divided into three main activities.In Activity 1, it first presents Kangkang's family photo. Students need to match the words with Kangkang's family members, which helps them learn the names of family members. Then, they read sentences about Kangkang's family members and their jobs and tick the correct information. After that, they do substitution exercises to practice introducing family members and their jobs. This activity aims to help students understand and master relevant words, phrases, and sentence patterns.
Activity 2 is a listening exercise. Based on what they have learned in Activity 1, students listen to a conversation and match Wang Junfeng's family members with their jobs. This activity reviews and consolidates the learned knowledge about family members and their occupations.
Activity 3 requires students to work in pairs. They ask and answer questions about Wang Junfeng's family members according to the information in Activity 2, which promotes the practical application and transfer of knowledge.

Then, randomly invite several students to talk about their own families briefly, such as “How many people are there in your family? Who are they?”
Purpose: Create a relaxed atmosphere, arouse students' interest, and lead in the topic of the class.

教学反思
Advantages
The use of pictures and real - life examples, such as showing different family pictures and asking students to talk about their own families, effectively aroused students' interest and made the class atmosphere active. Most students were willing to participate in class discussions.
The step - by - step teaching procedures, from pre - listening to while - listening and post - listening, were relatively clear. Students could gradually master the relevant knowledge and skills. For example, through the picture - matching and sentence - reading in the pre - listening part, students had a preliminary understanding of family members and occupations, which was helpful for the subsequent listening activities.
The pair - work and group - work activities provided students with more opportunities to practice speaking English. Students could communicate with their partners freely, which improved their communicative ability.
Disadvantages
In the listening part, some students still had difficulty in catching key information quickly. This may be due to their limited vocabulary and unfamiliarity with the listening materials. For example, when listening to the conversation in Activity 2, some students couldn't match the family members and occupations correctly.
When asking students to introduce their own family photos, some students' expressions were a bit monotonous. They mainly used the learned sentence patterns, lacking some vivid descriptions and personal feelings.
Improvement Measures
For students with poor listening ability, provide more listening practice materials of different levels after class. Encourage them to listen to English songs, watch English cartoons, etc., to improve their listening comprehension ability.
In future teaching, guide students to learn some descriptive words and phrases, such as adjectives to describe family members' appearance and personalities. Also, inspire students to express their true feelings about their families, so as to make their introductions more vivid and attractive.
