The Listening and Speaking part mainly includes listening to a speech about being responsible and a conversation about future plans, and then conducting speaking activities related to these topics. Through these activities, students can improve their listening comprehension ability, especially the ability to capture key information and details. Meanwhile, they can practice expressing their own views and ideas in spoken English, enhancing their oral communication skills. 教学目标 A.

Grammar "Will" and "Be going to" for Future Intentions "Be going to" is often used when we have already decided to do something before talking about it. For example, "I am going to visit my grandparents this weekend." (The plan has been made.) "Will" is used for spontaneous decisions, predictions, and offers. For example, "I will help you with your homework." (A spontaneous offer); "It will rain tomorrow." (A prediction) 教学过程 A. Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students and show some pictures about different people doing responsible things, like a student helping an old man cross the road, a child cleaning the room. Ask students: "What are these people doing Do you think they are responsible Why" Let students discuss in pairs and share their ideas. Then introduce the topic of this class - learning about being responsible and talking about future plans. B. Pre - listening (10 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching Write the new words and phrases on the blackboard or show them on the PPT. Teach the pronunciation, meaning, and usage one by one. For example, when teaching "responsible", give sentences like "A responsible student always finishes his homework on time." Let students read the words and phrases after the teacher several times. Do a vocabulary game. Divide the students into groups. The teacher says a word or phrase in Chinese, and the groups race to write the correct English form on the whiteboard. The first group to write correctly gets a point. Prediction Show the title of the listening material "Grow up to be a responsible person" and some pictures related to it. Ask students to predict what they might hear in the listening. Encourage them to share their predictions with the class. C. While - listening (15 minutes) First Listening Play the recording of the speech about being responsible for the first time. Students listen carefully and answer the general question: "What is the main idea of this speech" After listening, let students share their answers. Second Listening Play the recording again. This time, students need to listen for specific information and complete a table about examples of being responsible. For example, the table has two columns: "Taking care of yourself" and "Being helpful to others". Students should fill in relevant examples like "Finish homework and pay attention in class" under "Taking care of yourself" and "Do housework and take care of family pets" under "Being helpful to others". Check the Answers Ask students to exchange their answers with their partners first. Then call some students to the front to show their completed tables on the whiteboard and explain their answers. The teacher gives feedback and makes corrections if necessary. D. Post - listening and Speaking (10 minutes) Pair Work Let students work in pairs. One student asks: "Do you think you are a responsible person Can you give some examples to show that you are or you are not" The other student answers and gives examples. Then they switch roles. Walk around the classroom to monitor their conversations and offer help if needed. Group Discussion Divide the students into groups of four. Give them the topic of future plans. Each student shares their goals for the near and far future and what they will do to achieve them. For example, "My goal is to be good at English. I am going to read English books every day and practice speaking with my classmates." After each student's sharing, other group members can ask questions and give suggestions. Report Each group selects a representative to report the group's discussion results to the whole class. The representative should summarize the goals and plans of each member in the group. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with the students, including new words, the usage of "will" and "be going to", and the main ideas of the listening materials. Ask students to recall and share what they have learned in this class. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about their future goals and plans, using at least three sentences with "will" or "be going to". Listen to the recording of this class again to review the content. 教学反思 After this class, I will reflect on the following aspects. First, in terms of the teaching process, whether the time arrangement is reasonable. For example, if students need more time for discussion and speaking, I may need to adjust the time for pre - listening and while - listening in the future. Second, I will think about whether the teaching methods are effective. Are the vocabulary games and group work really helpful for students to master knowledge and improve skills If some students still have difficulties in using "will" and "be going to" correctly, I need to design more targeted exercises and explanations. Third, regarding students' participation, whether all students are actively involved in the class activities. If some students are shy and less active, I should find more ways to encourage them, such as giving more positive feedback and creating a more relaxed atmosphere. By reflecting on these aspects, I can continuously improve my teaching quality and better meet the learning needs of students. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
