教学过程

教学环节

学习活动（包含设计意图）

Step 1:

Greet the students as usual, and then play a short English song related to

Warming-up & Lead-in (5 minutes)

making friends, such as “Make New Friends” by The Learning Station.

Design Intention: This song can create a relaxed and pleasant English - learning atmosphere, quickly attract students' attention, and arouse their interest in the topic of making friends, which is related to self - introduction.

Step 2: Presentation (10 minutes)

Show some pictures of famous people on the PPT, such as Taylor Swift, Messi, etc. and briefly introduce them, like “This is Taylor Swift. She is a very famous singer. She is good at singing and songwriting.”

Then ask students: “Do you want to introduce yourself like this? Now, let's start our new lesson - This is me.”

Design Intention: By introducing famous people, students can have a better understanding of the form of self - introduction. At the same time, this can inspire students' curiosity and make them eager to introduce themselves.

Step 3: Practice (10 minutes)

Vocabulary Teaching

Present new words one by one on the PPT, such as “age, grade, hobby, dream” with pictures. For example, show a picture of a birthday cake with candles to teach “age”, a picture of a classroom with a class sign to teach “grade”, pictures of different activities like reading, dancing, playing basketball to teach “hobby”, and a picture of a doctor in a hospital to teach “dream”. Read the words aloud for students to imitate, and then let students read in groups and individually to correct their pronunciation.

Design Intention: Using pictures can make the abstract words more vivid and easier for students to understand and remember. Group reading and individual reading can help students master the correct pronunciation.

Sentence Pattern Teaching

Write the sentence patterns for self - introduction on the blackboard: “My name is... I am... years old. I am in Grade... My hobby is... I want to be... in the future.” Explain the usage and structure of each sentence pattern. For example, for “My hobby is...”, the verb after “is” should be in the - ing form.

Let students practice reading these sentence patterns after the teacher, and
