Teaching material
My Amazing Naadam Experience, Reading for Writing, Unit 1, Student’s Book 3
Teaching material analysis
This Reading for Writing part is a narrative essay, a diary entry to be exact, mainly about the writer’s festival experience with a friend in Mongolia. Before this period, students have already known the basic expressions on talking about festivals, the use of -ing adjectives, and talked about a recent festival experience, so this period serves as the output of the whole unit.
Learning situation analysis
The students have mastered relevant vocabulary of the topic “Festivals and Traditions”, and the basic reading skills such as reading for details. However, they don’t have a good command of analyzing the organisation and language features of an article. Thus, it’s important for teachers to help develop their analyzing ability and apply what they learn from the text to the writing task.
Teaching aim
The focus of this period is to equip students with writing skills, cultivate their awareness of cultural confidence and the ability of peer assessment and group cooperation.
Thus, by the end of the class, learners will be able to
1. know more about the Naadam festival as well as Mongolian people and their culture. (Thinking ability)
2. use the -ing adjectives to describe feelings and understand the organisation and language features of a diary entry. (Language competence)
3. write about a festival experience, and also give feedback on each other’s draft. (Learning ability)
4. appreciate and value China’s colorful culture. (Cultural awareness)
Teaching focus
1. Acquire information while reading.
2. Master writing skills after reading and put them into practice.
Teaching difficulty
Motivate the students to think critically to form correct views on Chinese traditional festivals and meanwhile promote their cultural confidence.
Teaching method
Task-based (preview), communicative, cooperative and process writing methods.
Teaching aid
Multi-media facilities, a blackboard, a textbook and student worksheets.

Reflection
1. 本节课呈现完整,教学设计符合学生认知水平、教学内容贴近学生生活。
2. 总体上,本节课有两大亮点:一是针对40分钟完成读写课教学一直存在的时间紧的问题,把阅读任务用学案的方式让学生预习并完成;二是教师就所给文本对写作技能的深入挖掘,加上对学生进行思维可视化的引导,最终完成语言运用的教学任务。
3. 本节课体现了“大单元”的设计理念,多维度的培养学生的综合素养,提高学生实践运用、学以致用的能力。
4. 实实在在的落实了英语课程改革新动向所包括的三个主要方面:关注学科育人价值、关注学生思维发展、关注学科核心素养。
5. 课堂生动、高效。学生信心满满,表现了得!尽管借班上课,师生交流自然顺畅,师生互动密度较大,教学要求落实到位:教学有效性很好。
6. 遗憾的一点是最后的peer assessment环节,由于时间关系,参与学生不多。
