教学过程
A. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual.

B. Revision (5 minutes)
Use flashcards to review the family - related vocabulary learned before. Show the flashcards one by one and ask students to quickly say the corresponding English words.
Invite several students to come to the front of the class and use the sentence patterns “This is... He/She is my...” to introduce the family members in their photos (students are asked to bring family photos in advance).
C. Presentation (10 minutes)
Listening Activity
Play a dialogue recording about two students introducing their families. Before playing, give students some listening tasks, such as “How many people are there in each student's family?” “Who are they?”
After playing the recording once, let students answer the questions. Then play the recording again for students to check their answers.
Explain some new words or expressions that appear in the dialogue, like “a big family”, “live with”.
Reading Activity
Present a short passage about a family on the blackboard or through a projector. The passage can include information about family members' jobs, hobbies, etc.
Let students read the passage silently first, and then answer some comprehension questions, such as “What does the father do?” “What is the sister's hobby?”
Analyze the passage sentence by sentence, emphasizing the use of vocabulary, sentence patterns, and grammar points. For example, point out how the writer uses “I have...” to introduce family members and “He/She is...” to describe them.
D. Practice (15 minutes)
Group Work - Oral Practice
Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. In each group, students take turns to introduce their families in detail. They can talk about not only the basic information of family members but also some interesting family stories or traditions.
The group members listen carefully and can ask questions if they are interested in something. For example, “What does your father like to do on weekends?”
Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help when necessary. After each group finishes, select one or two groups to present their family introductions in front of the whole class.
Writing Practice
Ask students to write a short passage about their families based on their oral introductions. Remind them to use the correct vocabulary, sentence patterns, and grammar. They can also add some drawings or stickers related to their families to make their passages more vivid.
While students are writing, provide individual guidance, such as helping them with spelling mistakes, grammar errors, or organizing their ideas.
E. Production (5 minutes)
Show and Share
Invite several students to come to the front of the class and share their written passages about their families. They can hold up their family photos or the passages with drawings at the same time.
After each student shares, the rest of the class gives applause and can ask some questions or make some comments, like “Your family looks very happy. I like your story about the family trip.”
Summary
Summarize the key points of this class, including the important vocabulary, sentence patterns, and grammar related to family introduction. Emphasize the significance of family and the importance of expressing our love for family in English.
F. Homework (5 minutes)
Ask students to make a family photo album with English captions under each photo. They can describe who the people in the photos are, what they are doing, and their feelings about these photos.
Tell students to teach their family members at least three English words about family members that they learned in this class, and then write a short report about it, such as “I taught my mom the word ‘aunt’ today. She was very interested and repeated it many times.”
教学反思
In this class, the use of multimedia resources, such as videos and recordings, effectively attracted students' attention and created a vivid language - learning environment. However, in the future, more diverse materials can be prepared to meet different students' interests.
The group work and pair - work activities actively engaged most students in oral communication. But some shy students still need more encouragement and individual guidance to fully participate. In the following classes, more specific strategies should be designed to help these students overcome their fear of speaking English in public.
The writing practice was helpful for students to consolidate the knowledge they learned. However, some students still made mistakes in grammar and vocabulary usage. In the next class, more grammar exercises and writing - correction sessions can be arranged to improve their writing skills.
Overall, through this class, students have a better understanding of family - related English expressions and a deeper sense of family. But continuous review and practice are needed to ensure that students can firmly master and freely use this knowledge in different situations.
