摘要:
该初中英语教学设计聚焦于《The Giant (I)》这一经典童话文本,围绕语言能力、文化意识、思维品质与学习能力四大核心素养展开。通过导入环节的问答互动自然衔接学生已有经验,以“喜欢 fairy tale 吗”为切入点,搭建从生活经验到文本理解的学习支架,逐步引导学生感知故事背景、梳理情节脉络、分析人物行为。
本设计亮点突出,融合任务驱动与合作探究,体现“思维品质”与“文化意识”的深度培育。例如在小组讨论中,学生需分析花园四季变化与巨人行为的关系,培养逻辑推理能力,同时借助 Learning Tip 理解童话特征,增强对善恶价值的认知。音频跟读和分组汇报强化语言输出训练,提升表达准确性与流畅度。教师可直接使用此设计开展高效课堂,学生则能在真实语境中发展综合语言运用能力,实现知识建构与素养落地的双重目标。
