Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of people making friends in different situations, such as in a classroom, at a party, or on a sports field. Ask students to look at the pictures and answer the following questions: "What are these people doing in the pictures?", "Do you think it's easy to make friends in these situations? Why or why not?" Encourage several students to share their opinions briefly. This activity aims to arouse students' interest in the topic of making friends and activate their prior knowledge related to it. 2. Pre - listening (10 minutes) Present the new words and phrases related to making friends on the blackboard or through a PPT. Explain the meanings and usages of each one with examples. For example, when explaining "get to know", say "I got to know my neighbor when I moved into this community last month." After the explanation, lead students to read the new words and phrases several times to ensure correct pronunciation. Then, introduce the listening task. Tell students that they are going to listen to a conversation about tips on making friends in a new place. Before listening, ask them to predict what kind of tips they might hear, such as being friendly, joining clubs, etc. Write down their predictions on the blackboard. 3. While - listening (10 minutes) Play the listening material for the first time. Students listen carefully and try to catch the general idea of the conversation. After listening, ask them to briefly describe what the conversation is mainly about. Play the listening material again. This time, ask students to listen more carefully and take notes of the specific tips for making friends mentioned in the conversation. Check the answers with the class. Write down the tips on the blackboard, such as "smile at people", "join clubs or groups with similar interests", "be a good listener", etc. Compare these tips with the predictions made by students before listening. 4. Post - listening (10 minutes) Divide students into pairs. Ask them to discuss the following questions based on the listening content: "Which tip do you think is the most useful? Why?", "Have you ever tried any of these tips when making friends? What was the result?" Walk around the classroom, listen to their discussions, and offer help if necessary. Select several pairs to share their discussion results with the whole class. Encourage other students to ask questions or make comments. 5. Speaking Activity (10 minutes) Present the speaking task: ask students to describe their experiences of making friends. They can talk about when and where they met their friends, what they have in common, and how their friendship developed. Give students a few minutes to think about what they are going to say. Then, ask some students to stand up and share their stories in front of the class. After each student's sharing, give positive feedback and also point out any language mistakes gently for correction. If time permits, organize a group activity. Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Each group creates a friendship game. They need to explain the rules of the game and how it can help strengthen friendship. Then, each group presents their game to the class. 教学反思 After this 45 - minute class, generally, students showed great interest in the topic of making friends. The warming - up activity effectively attracted their attention and made them actively participate in the following discussions. In the pre - listening stage, most students were able to predict some possible tips for making friends, which helped them better understand the listening content. During the while - listening process, although some students had difficulty in catching all the key information at once, through repeated listening and note - taking, they gradually mastered the main points. In the speaking activities, students were quite enthusiastic about sharing their own experiences of making friends. However, it was found that some students still had problems with language expression, such as incorrect use of verb tenses and difficulty in finding appropriate words. This indicates that more language practice and guidance are needed in future classes. Also, in the group activity of creating a friendship game, some groups faced challenges in clearly explaining the rules. In the future, more time can be allocated for group discussion and rehearsal to improve students' communication and presentation skills. Overall, this class achieved most of the teaching objectives, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and students' language proficiency training. 2 / 37 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
