教学过程
1. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of different shopping places, such as supermarkets, department stores, and street markets on the PPT. Ask students: "Do you like shopping? Where do you usually go shopping?" Encourage students to share their shopping experiences briefly. This activity can arouse students' interest and lead in the topic of shopping.
2. Presentation (10 minutes)
Vocabulary Teaching:
Present the new shopping - related vocabulary one by one on the PPT. For each word, show a corresponding picture and give an example sentence. For example, when teaching "supermarket", show a picture of a big supermarket and say "We often go to the supermarket on weekends to buy groceries." Let students repeat the words after the teacher several times, paying attention to the pronunciation.
After teaching all the words, play a vocabulary - matching game. Divide the words into two columns on the PPT, one column with the words and the other column with the pictures. Ask students to match the words with the correct pictures quickly.
Sentence Pattern Teaching:
Write some common shopping - related sentence patterns on the blackboard, such as "How much is/are...?", "Do you have... in...?", "I'd like...". Explain the meaning and usage of each sentence pattern with examples. For example, for "How much is/are...?", write "How much is this pen? It's 5 yuan." on the blackboard. Let students practice making sentences using these patterns with the new vocabulary they just learned.
3. Listening (10 minutes)
Activity 1: Play a short dialogue recording for the first time. The dialogue is about a customer buying a pair of shoes in a shoe store. Before playing, ask students to listen carefully and answer the question: "What does the customer want to buy?" After playing the recording, invite some students to answer the question.
Activity 2: Play the dialogue recording again. This time, ask students to listen more carefully and fill in a simple form on the handout. The form includes columns like "Item", "Size", "Color", "Price". After playing, check the answers with the whole class.
4. Speaking (15 minutes)
Pair Work: Divide the students into pairs. Give each pair a shopping - related situation card. For example, one card may say "Student A is in a clothes store. He/She wants to buy a T - shirt. Student B is the shop assistant." Each pair needs to create a conversation based on the situation, using the vocabulary and sentence patterns they have learned. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help if necessary.
Role - play: Select several pairs to come to the front of the classroom and perform their conversations for the whole class. After each performance, ask the other students to give some comments, such as what they did well and what could be improved.
5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
Summary: Summarize the key vocabulary and sentence patterns learned in this class with the students. Ask students to recall the main points by themselves first, and then the teacher supplements and emphasizes.
Homework:
Ask students to write a short passage about their last shopping experience, using at least five new words and three sentence patterns learned in this class.
Let students go shopping with their parents or friends this weekend and try to use English to communicate in the shopping process. They can record their shopping conversations if possible and share them in the next class.
教学反思
After this class, I think the following aspects went well. The warming - up activity successfully attracted students' attention and engaged them in the topic. The vocabulary and sentence pattern teaching was relatively clear, and the matching game and sentence - making practice helped students better master the new knowledge. The listening activities gradually increased the difficulty, which was beneficial for training students' listening skills. In the speaking part, pair work and role - play provided students with enough opportunities to practice speaking English.
However, there are also some areas that need improvement. Some students still had problems with the pronunciation of certain words, especially "discount" and "bargain". In the future, more time should be spent on individual pronunciation correction. During the pair work, a few students were a bit shy and did not fully participate. I need to find more ways to encourage these students to be more active in class. Also, in the role - play feedback, the comments from students were a bit simple. Next time, I will guide students to give more detailed and constructive comments to help their classmates improve.
