教学过程
教学环节
学习活动(包含设计意图)
Step 1: Warming-up & Lead-in (5 minutes)
Activity: Greet the students as usual and then play a short English song about friendship, such as "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the movie "Toy Story". While playing the song, show some pictures related to friendship on the PPT.
Design intention: This activity can create a relaxing and pleasant English - learning atmosphere, arouse students' interest in class, and also lead to the topic of getting to know each other, which is related to self - introduction.
Step 2: Presentation (10 minutes)
Activity: After the song, the teacher shows a picture of a famous person, for example, Taylor Swift. Then the teacher starts to introduce Taylor Swift in English: "Look at this picture. This is Taylor Swift. She is a very famous singer. She comes from the United States. She is good at singing and song - writing. Her songs are very popular all over the world. I like her songs because they are full of emotions." Then ask students some simple questions, such as "Do you know her?", "What do you think of her?".
Design intention: By introducing a well - known figure, students can have a clear understanding of what aspects can be included in an introduction. And the following questions can stimulate students' thinking and active participation in class.
Step 3: Practice (10 minutes)
Vocabulary teaching
Activity: Show some new words and expressions on the PPT one by one, such as "hobby", "dream", "be good at", "be interested in", "future", etc. Teach the pronunciation, meaning and usage of each word or phrase. For example, when teaching "hobby", show some pictures of different hobbies like reading, painting, playing basketball, etc., and say "Reading is my hobby. What's your hobby?". Let students repeat the words and phrases several times to practice pronunciation.
Design intention: Using pictures can make the vocabulary learning more vivid and easy to understand. And the repetition can help students remember the new words and phrases better.
Sentence pattern teaching
Activity: Present some useful sentence patterns for self - introduction on the PPT, such as "My name is...", "I come from...", "I am... years old", "I like... because...", "I want to... in the future". Explain the structure and usage of each sentence pattern. Then give some examples for each pattern, for instance, "My name is Tom. I come from Beijing. I am 13 years old. I like reading books because I can learn a lot from them. I want to be a teacher in the future." Let students imitate and make their own sentences.
Design intention: By presenting sentence patterns and examples, students can quickly understand how to use them to introduce themselves. The imitation activity can let students practice using these sentence patterns immediately and enhance their memory.
Grammar teaching (Simple present tense)
Activity: Review the simple present tense briefly. Explain that we use the simple present tense to describe general facts, habits, and things that are true now. Focus on the third - person singular form. Show some sentences on the PPT, such as "He likes playing football.", "She goes to school by bike every day.", "It rains a lot in summer here." Analyze the changes of verbs in the third - person singular form. Let students find out the rules. Then give some exercises on the PPT for students to practice, such as filling in the blanks with the correct form of the verbs.
Design intention: Reviewing the simple present tense in the context of self - introduction can help students better understand its usage. The process of analyzing and practicing can strengthen students' understanding and application of the grammar knowledge.
Step 4: Oral Practice & Consolidation (15 minutes)
Listening practice
Activity: Play a short dialogue recording about self - introduction on the PPT. The dialogue contains the key vocabulary, sentence patterns and simple present tense that have been taught. Before playing, ask students to read the questions related to the dialogue on the PPT first. Then play the recording twice. The first time, students just listen and get a general idea. The second time, they listen carefully and answer the questions. After that, check the answers together.
Design intention: This listening practice can train students' ability to catch specific information in the dialogue, and also let them further familiarize with the language used in self - introduction.
Speaking practice
Activity: Divide students into pairs. Each student in the pair needs to make a self - introduction to the partner according to what they have learned, including personal information, hobbies, dreams, etc. After that, each pair chooses one of them to stand up and introduce their partner to the whole class.
Design intention: Pair - work can provide more speaking opportunities for students. And introducing a partner can not only practice students' speaking skills but also improve their listening ability when listening to their partners' self - introductions.
Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 minutes)
Summary
Activity: Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the new vocabulary, sentence patterns, the usage of the simple present tense, and how to make a self - introduction. Ask students if they have any questions.
Design intention: Summarizing can help students review and consolidate what they have learned in this class, and clarify any remaining doubts.
Homework
Activity: Ask students to make a more detailed self - introduction video at home. They can include more personal information, such as their favorite subjects, their experiences, etc. The video should be no less than 1 minute long. They need to send the video to the teacher via a specific app (such as Tencent Classroom) before next class.
Design intention: This homework can further train students' speaking ability and also give them more space to show their individuality. Making a video can also increase students' interest in doing homework.
