Hello, everyone. My name is Zhang Huan. It's been a great pleasure for me to stand
here to give my presentation. My topic is The United Kingdom, which is taken from
unit2 in New Senior English For China Student’s Book5. And my contents consist of
9 parts. They are as following: 1. Analysis of the teaching material 2. Analysis of the students 3. Teaching methods
4. Teaching aims and demands 5.Teaching key and difficult points 6. Teaching aids 7. Teaching procedures 8. Blackboard design 9. Feedback
Well, to begin with, I will talk about the first part ―analysis of the teaching
material.This unit centers on the United Kingdom, which aims to make students to
understand the UK culturally, geographically and historically, students could get a
general understanding of one of the major English-speaking countries in this unit and
their world is brightened at the same time through the material. My focus is on the
first teaching period of this unit , which is an introduction to the United Kingdom.
Secondly, I would like to say something about the analysis of the students. My
students have already learnt New Senior English For China Student’s Book1, 2, 3 and
4 and have formed their own ideas to learn High school English well and have formed their habits to learn English. Although they know English become much difficult in
High school, but if they have figured out their own way to improve their English
under the help of their English teachers, English learning process will also have a lot
of fun. Student in this period are becoming serious about their study and would learn
English actively and eagerly . So English teachers at this time need to use English as a
tool to brighten students’ outlook, so students would enjoy learning English at the
same time to gain knowledge.
Thirdly, in this period, I will mainly adopt the content-based approach. Through
different exercises and questions about this period’s content, I will enable students to
participate in the class actively. Through repetition, student could get a consolidated
idea about the United Kingdom and the words and expressions which are useful for them.
Fourthly, let's move on to the next part, teaching aims and demands. There are
knowledge aims, ability aims and emotion aims:
1) Knowledge aims are to get the students to learn the useful new words and expressions in this section and let the students learn about how the UK was formed and the four groups of invaders. 2)Ability aims are to develop students’reading ability and let them learn different reading skills and enable students to learn to talk about the United Kingdom and the Union Jack. 3) Last but not least, the emotional aims are to let students know more about the UK and develop students’sense of cooperative learning.
Fifthly, now here comes the teaching important and difficult points. The important points are to let students learn about the countries of the United Kingdom and the Union Jack and get students to read the passage and know about how the UK was formed and the four groups of invaders. As for the difficult points, students are expected to develop their reading ability, to read the passage and know about how the UK was formed and the four groups of invaders and to have them learn different reading skills.
Sixthly, in this period I will use blackboard, chalks, a computer and a projector.
Seventhly, I am going to talk about the most important part: teaching procedure,
which consists of 4 steps. Step 1 is Lead in
I will show students a map of the world, ask students the following questions:
Where is the UK? What’s the full name of the UK?
After the two questions, I will let students work in pairs to finish a quiz on textbook.
The lead-in part is planed to be finished in 3 minutes. Students will use a map on page 9 and finish two questions based on the map.
Step 1 and 2 are used to form questions in students’ head and to prepare for the following part.
Step 3 is the main part in this period and I divided it into two parts: The first part is scanning. This part will make students read as quickly as possible and finish a main idea matching exercise, which will take about 10 minutes. The second part is detailed reading, students need to find out the detailed information about the text, after they have read the passage carefully, they need to finish a form about the text. The exercises
