Unit 4 Fun in the Sun!-Preparing for the Topic-Function This part of Unit 4 in the Ren'ai Science Edition (2024) English textbook for Grade 7 focuses on the function of making phone call invitations and discussing sports. It aims to help students master relevant vocabulary about ball games and learn how to use common sentence patterns in phone conversations for invitations. Through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities, students will improve their language skills in the context of sports and invitations. 教学目标 Students are able to master the vocabulary related to ball games, such as ping - pong, badminton, baseball, football, basketball. Students can understand and use the common sentence patterns for phone call invitations, for example: What are you doing? I'm... Do you want to...? Why not...? I like (playing football) best. I'm good at … I want to join … club because … 教学重难点 A. Key Points The acquisition and understanding of vocabulary about ball games. The correct use of common sentence patterns for phone call invitations and expressing preferences and intentions regarding sports. Training students to obtain information from listening materials and communicate effectively in relevant topics. B. Difficult Points Helping students use the learned sentence patterns flexibly in real - life situations, especially in phone call scenarios. Encouraging students to express their own ideas and opinions about sports clubs and invitations vividly and accurately. A. Vocabulary Ball games: ping - pong, badminton, baseball, football, basketball Related words: club, join, sport, love, like, good at, want to B. Sentence Patterns Asking about activities: What are you doing? Expressing current activities: I'm + verb - ing.

Show some pictures of different ball games on the PPT, such as a ping - pong game, a badminton match, a baseball game, a football game, and a basketball game. Ask students to name the sports they see. T: Class, look at the pictures on the screen. What sports can you see? Ss: Ping - pong! Badminton! … B. Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary teaching Teach the new words about ball games one by one. For example, when teaching “ping - pong”, show a picture of two people playing ping - pong and say, “This is ping - pong. P - I - N - G - P - O - N - G, ping - pong.” Let students repeat several times. Use the same method to teach other words. Drill the words. Divide students into pairs. One student says the Chinese name of the sport, and the other says the English word. Then they switch. Sentence pattern teaching Create a situation: Suppose the teacher is making a phone call. T: Hello, this is Miss/Mr. [teacher's name]. What are you doing now? Choose a student to answer. Then lead the student to answer, “I'm doing my homework.” Then the teacher says, “Do you want to play basketball with me?” Teach the student to answer, “Sure, I'd love to.” or “Sorry, I'm busy.” Write the sentence patterns on the blackboard: What are you doing? I'm... Do you want to...? Explain the usage and meaning of these sentence patterns. Use another situation to teach “Why not...?”. For example, say, “It's a nice day today. Why not go to play football?” Let students understand the meaning of suggesting an activity. Then teach sentence patterns about expressing preferences and intentions, like “I like (playing football) best.” and “I want to join … club because …” by giving examples and asking students to imitate. C. Listening (10 minutes) Tell students they will listen to a conversation between Kangkang and Wang Junfeng. Before listening, show the following questions on the PPT: What are Kangkang and Wang Junfeng talking about? What sports does Kangkang like? Why does Kangkang want to join the football club? Play the recording for the first time. Let students listen and try to answer the general questions. Play the recording again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and take notes. Check the answers. Invite several students to answer the questions. T: OK, who can tell me what Kangkang and Wang Junfeng are talking about? S1: They are talking about joining a sports club. T: Very good. And what sports does Kangkang like? S2: He likes playing football. T: Right. Then why does Kangkang want to join the football club? S3: Because he is good at it and he thinks it's very interesting. D. Practice (10 minutes) Pair work Ask students to work in pairs. They need to make up a phone call conversation based on the learned sentence patterns. One student is making an invitation to play a certain ball game, and the other responds. They can also talk about their favorite sports and the reasons why they want to join a sports club. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help when necessary. Role - play Select several pairs of students to come to the front of the classroom and act out their conversations. The rest of the students watch and listen carefully. After each pair finishes, give them some praise and comments. T: Well done, you two! Your pronunciation is very clear, and you used the sentence patterns correctly. Maybe you can add more expressions next time to make your conversation more vivid. E. Summary (3 minutes) Summarize the key points of this class with students. Review the new vocabulary about ball games and the important sentence patterns for phone call invitations and expressing sports - related ideas. T: Class, today we learned some new words about ball games, such as ping - pong, badminton, baseball, football, and basketball. And we also learned how to make phone call invitations and talk about our favorite sports. Can you remember some important sentence patterns? Ss: What are you doing? Do you want to...? Why not...? … Emphasize the importance of using English in real - life communication. F. Homework (2 minutes) Ask students to write down their phone call conversation in their exercise books and remember to use at least three new words and two sentence patterns. Encourage students to make a real phone call to their friends, invite them to do a sport, and record the conversation. They can share it in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I find that most students are interested in the topic of sports, which makes the teaching process go relatively smoothly. The use of pictures and real - life situations in the warming - up and presentation stages effectively attracts students' attention and helps them understand new knowledge. However, there are still some problems. Some students are a little shy when performing the role - play, and their language expressions are not very fluent. In future teaching, I will provide more opportunities for students to practice speaking in class and encourage them to be more confident. Also, when checking the listening answers, I notice that some students have difficulty in catching the key information. I will strengthen listening training, such as guiding students to predict the content before listening and teaching them some listening skills. Overall, through this class, students have a certain understanding and mastery of the vocabulary and sentence patterns related to sports and phone call invitations, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and students' language application ability. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
