教学重难点
Key Points

学情分析
Language Foundation: Students in the selective compulsory stage of senior high school have accumulated basic English vocabulary and reading skills, but their mastery of sports-specific vocabulary and complex grammatical structures needs further consolidation.
Cultural Cognition: They are familiar with popular international sports events but lack in-depth understanding of the historical background and spiritual connotation of the Olympic Games, and their awareness of China’s sports cultural heritage needs to be strengthened.
Thinking & Learning Abilities: They can complete simple reading and discussion tasks, but their critical thinking and autonomous learning abilities require guided improvement.
教学准备
Teaching Tools: Multimedia equipment (PPT with sports images, Olympic videos, and interactive exercises), whiteboard, markers.
Learning Materials: Printouts of the reading passage, key vocabulary lists, discussion worksheets, and letter-writing templates.
AI Application: Set up Doubao functions in advance, including real-time vocabulary explanation, reading comprehension guidance, oral expression correction, and writing feedback.

Leading-
in
1. Show a quote from Billie Jean King and ask students to translate it and share their understanding.
2. Ask: "Do you like watching sporting events? How many sporting events do you know?"(Display pictures of famous international sporting events (Olympics, NBA, Wimbledon) );
3. Play a short video about international sporting events and ask students to complete fill-in-the-blank exercises.
Arouse students’ interest in the topic through famous quotes and familiar sports images, and lay the foundation for the following content.
Use Doubao to expand discussion topics, provide background information for students, and record and evaluate students’ performance to give targeted feedback.
Pre-
reading
Introduce the Olympic Games briefly, including the Olympic flag, motto ("Faster, Higher, Stronger"), and holding cycle.
Help students build background knowledge about the Olympic Games and prepare for the reading task.
Use Doubao to provide real-time reading assistance: offer background knowledge about the Olympic Games and answer students’ questions about the Olympic to help comprehension.
Fast-
reading
Ask students to read the passage quickly and match each paragraph with its main idea (general introduction, history, famous athletes, China’s achievements, conclusion).
Train students’ skimming and scanning skills, and help them grasp the core content and structure of the passage.
Careful-
reading
Guide students to read paragraph by paragraph and complete tasks: - Analyze the differences and similarities between ancient and modern Olympics with a table. - List the achievements of famous athletes (e.g., Cassius Clay, Jessica Ennis Hill).- Summarize China’s Olympic achievements (e.g., Xu Haifeng’s first gold medal, 2008 Beijing Olympics).
Careful reading helps students deeply understand the logical development of the text, while consolidating key vocabulary and sentence patterns.
Post-
reading
Have a discussion:
Sick man of East AsiaA leading sporting nation
The upward trend for Chinese sport has been unstoppable!
Encourage students to express personal views, deepen their understanding of the topic, and improve oral communication skills.
Summary
Fill in a grammatical filling about the reading passage.
Consolidate knowledge (language competence) and develop autonomous learning ability (learning ability).
Assign-
ment
Write a reply to Frankie (as Li Hua) introducing favorite sports and reasons (80 words).
Search for a favorite Olympic athlete’s information and prepare a 1-minute oral introduction.
The two-tiered assignment (compulsory + optional) meets the needs of students with different English levels: the compulsory task consolidates the writing skill, while the optional task expands students’ knowledge and improves their research ability.
Use Doubao to provide writing templates and vocabulary suggestions, and help students revise their compositions by pointing out grammatical errors and inappropriate expressions.
作业设计
1. Complete the reply letter to Frankie, focusing on logical coherence and correct use of grammar/vocabulary; submit the draft to Doubao for preliminary revision before class;
2. Review 10 key vocabulary words in the lesson and write 2 sentences for each word to consolidate language competence;
3. Collect information about a favorite Olympic athlete (e.g., achievements, stories) and prepare a 1-minute oral introduction to develop autonomous learning ability.

教学反思
1.Highlights of the Lesson
(1)Theme-Based Engagement That Leverages Students’ Interests
By centering the lesson on "sports culture"quickly activated their prior knowledge. Over 90% of students voluntarily shared their views on sports. This not only reduced their anxiety about English communication but also laid a positive emotional foundation for subsequent reading and discussion tasks.
(2)Differentiated Instruction Tailored to Student Diversity
• Basic tasks (e.g., filling in Olympic history timelines) helped students with weak language foundations grasp factual information and build confidence;
• Advanced tasks (e.g., analyzing differences between ancient and modern Olympics) challenged proficient students to develop logical and critical thinking.Post-class feedback showed that 85% of students reported the tasks were "appropriate to their level," avoiding the problem of "one-size-fits-all" instruction.
(3)Effective Integration of AI Tools to Enhance Learning Efficiency
The application of Doubao (e.g., real-time vocabulary flashcards, oral expression correction, personalized homework reminders) addressed students’ weaknesses in specialized vocabulary and oral fluency. This not only enriched teaching methods but also provided personalized support that traditional classroom instruction cannot achieve.
2.Shortcomings of the Lesson
(1)Imbalanced Time Allocation Affecting In-Depth Learning
The lesson covered two modules ("Welcome to the unit" and "Reading (1)") within 45 minutes. Due to prolonged discussions in the leading-in and pre-reading sessions (12 minutes total, exceeding the planned 8 minutes), the time for careful-reading analysis was compressed from 20 minutes to 15 minutes. As a result, students rushed through analyzing China’s Olympic achievements (e.g., the significance of the 2008 Beijing Olympics’ slogan "One World, One Dream"), and only 60% of students could clearly explain the link between the slogan and the Olympic spirit in post-class quizzes.
(2)Inadequate Support for Shy Students in Public Expression
Although the "rotation speaking" mechanism in group discussions ensured every student had a chance to speak, 30% of shy students still spoke hesitantly or used overly simple sentences (e.g., only saying "Sports are good" without elaboration). This was because the teacher failed to provide targeted scaffolding.
(3)Superficial Exploration of Cross-Cultural Connections
The lesson introduced Western sports culture (e.g., Wimbledon, the Super Bowl) but lacked in-depth comparison with Chinese sports culture. Post-class interviews showed that 50% of students could not explain how the Olympic spirit resonates with Chinese cultural concepts, limiting the development of their cross-cultural awareness.
3.Follow-Up Improvement Measures
(1)Optimize Time Management with Detailed Lesson Schedules
Create a minute-by-minute timeline for the lesson and assign a student "timekeeper" to remind the class of progress. Simplify some leading-in activities (e.g., reduce the number of shared sports from 10 to 5) to save time for in-depth reading tasks—especially for analyzing the cultural connotation of China’s Olympic achievements.
(2)Provide Scaffolding for Shy Students to Boost Expression Confidence
• Before group discussions, distribute sentence templates and discussion prompts to help shy students organize ideas.
• Add a "peer tutoring" link: Pair shy students with proficient peers to practice speaking for 2 minutes before public sharing, allowing them to gain confidence through low-pressure interactions.
(3) Deepen Cross-Cultural Exploration with Comparative Tasks
• In subsequent lessons (e.g., Reading (2)), design cross-cultural comparison tasks (e.g., "Compare the spirit of Chinese table tennis (perseverance) with the Olympic spirit of ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’").
• Use Doubao to collect and display students’ cultural connection examples (e.g., how "civilized spirit, strong body" aligns with the Olympic spirit), encouraging students to build links between Eastern and Western cultures.
