教学过程
1. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual. Then, play a short video about children's daily life. After watching the video, ask students some simple questions, such as “What can you see in the video?” “Do you do the same things in your daily life?” This can quickly arouse students' interest and lead them into the topic of daily life.
2. Presentation (12 minutes)
Vocabulary teaching:
Show pictures of different daily activities on the PPT, such as a picture of a child brushing teeth. Point to the picture and say, “This is 'brush teeth'.” Let students repeat several times. Teach other vocabulary words and phrases in the same way, using real - life pictures to make the learning more vivid.
After teaching all the vocabulary, play a vocabulary game. Say a word or phrase, and ask students to quickly do the corresponding action. For example, when you say “brush teeth”, students should pretend to brush their teeth. This can help students better remember the new words.
Grammar teaching:
Write some simple sentences on the blackboard, such as “I get up at 6:00.” “He goes to school by bike.” “They play football in the afternoon.” Explain the structure of the simple present tense. For the third - person singular (he, she, it), the verb usually needs to add -s or -es. Use some simple examples to illustrate the changes, like “go - goes”, “play - plays”, “do - does”.
Let students do some simple exercises on the screen to practice the form of the simple present tense. For example, fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb: “She ____ (like) apples.” “They ____ (watch) TV every evening.”
3. Reading (15 minutes)
Pre - reading:
Show the title and pictures of the reading text on the PPT. Ask students to predict what the text may be about. For example, if the title is “My Day” and there are pictures of a school and a bedroom, students may predict that the text is about a student's daily life. This can activate students' prior knowledge and improve their reading interest.
While - reading:
Let students read the text quickly (skimming) and answer a general question, such as “What is the main idea of the text?”
Then, ask students to read the text carefully (scanning) and find the answers to some detailed questions, such as “What time does the author get up?” “What does the author do after school?” Write these questions on the blackboard in advance.
After that, explain some difficult sentences in the text, such as “After school, I often play basketball with my classmates for about an hour.” Analyze the sentence structure and new vocabulary in it.
Post - reading:
Divide students into groups of four. Let each group discuss and retell the text in their own words. One student in each group can be selected to report to the whole class. This can help students better understand and remember the text, and also improve their speaking and cooperative skills.
4. Practice (10 minutes)
Listening practice:
Play a recording of a dialogue about daily life. Before playing, let students read the questions related to the dialogue on the worksheet. Then, play the recording twice. After that, ask students to answer the questions. Check the answers together.
Speaking practice:
Organize a “Daily Routine Interview” activity. Students work in pairs. One student asks the other about his/her daily routine using the learned questions, such as “What time do you get up?” “What do you do after breakfast?” The interviewed student answers. Then, they switch roles. Some pairs can be invited to show their dialogues in front of the class.
5. Summary and Homework (3 minutes)
Summary:
Summarize the key points of this class, including new vocabulary, the simple present tense, and the main content of the reading text. Ask students to recall and repeat some important knowledge points.
Homework:
Ask students to write a short passage about their own daily life, using at least 5 sentences. They should include the time they do different activities and the activities themselves.
Encourage students to listen to English tapes about daily life at home to improve their listening skills.
教学反思
After this class, overall, students showed a high level of enthusiasm for learning new vocabulary and expressions related to daily life. The use of pictures and videos in the warming - up and presentation stages effectively attracted students' attention and helped them better understand the new knowledge. However, there are still some areas that need improvement.
In grammar teaching, although various methods were used to explain the simple present tense, some students still had difficulty in using the third - person singular form correctly. In future classes, more targeted exercises and examples should be provided to strengthen their understanding. During the reading process, some students had trouble quickly finding the key information. This may be due to insufficient reading skills training. In the following teaching, more reading skills training, such as how to quickly skim and scan for information, should be carried out.
The group work and pair - work activities in the practice stage were generally successful, but some groups did not fully participate. In the future, more guidance and supervision should be given during group activities to ensure that every student can actively participate and improve their language skills. Overall, based on this reflection, adjustments and improvements will be made to the teaching plan to better meet the learning needs of students.
