Good morning, ladies and gentleman. Today, I feel honored to have the chance to share my ideas about how to teach reading.
In the reading process, I will focus on students’ long-term development and enable them to use proper reading skills and strategies. In other words, students are guided to read efficiently and independently.
My teaching plan will include 3 sections. They’re analysis of the reading material, identifying the teaching aims and teaching procedures.
Section 1 Analysis of the teaching material
The selected teaching material is a magazine article taken from the Project section of Module 11, Unit 2 of Advance with English. The article is about British students who take a gap year, which is intended to develop the theme of the unit, that is, Getting a job. After analyzing it carefully, I find the article has two unique characteristics. First, it’s a long passage with 688 words, much more than the usual texts. Second, it deals with a new topic, that is, a gap year. The topic is unfamiliar to most students.
Section 2 Indentifying the teaching aims
Based on the analysis of the teaching material, I have chosen the following as the teaching aims of my lesson:
The 1st aim: Students learn the skills and strategies to read a prolonged text.
The 2nd aim: Students get a better understanding of what a gap year is.
The 3rd aim: Students are encouraged to figure out the implied meaning.
The 4th aim: Students are familiar with various expression_r_r_r_r_rs or approaches to express the same thing or idea.
Section 3 Teaching procedures
In order to achieve the teaching aims mentioned above, I decide to choose guided reading and Task-Based Teaching as the main teaching approach. With the teaching methods, I can guide students to use effective reading strategies to comprehend the text, solve problems and complete different tasks. The teaching procedures include four parts. They’re getting ready, focusing on main facts, reading between the lines and responding the text.
Part 1. Getting ready
Reading begins before a book is opened. It’s important to activate students’ existing background knowledge and draw their attention to the topic of the text. In this part, I will use the pre-reading activities to increase students’ concentration, arouse their curiosities, fire their imagination and give them a purpose for reading. The part consists of two tasks:
Task 1: A time machine. I start my lesson by asking senior 3 students what the date is. Then, I go on to show a picture of a time machine. I tell students that the machine with a magic power will bring them to their graduation from high school, which is 1 year away. At that point, I get them to imagine where they are and what they are doing.
After it, I give a summary of their presentations as follows: After leaving high school, most of Chinese students go straight to university.Yes, at this time next year, most of you will be studying in a university.
(With the task, I inspire students’ former knowledge and imagination about graduating from high school and going to college, which can draw their attention to the theme of the reading material and get them ready for the following reading.)
Task 2: Brainstorming. After the summary, I go on to show some more pictures of British students fresh from high schools, and tell students that more and more students in the UK are doing something different instead of going straight to university. After that, I play the tape of Para.1 and get students to catch the answer to the question: They will travel or work on projects for up to a year before entering university.
(With the task, I excite students’ desire to know more about what their British equivalents will do before going to college. With the question in mind, students will definitely be eager to listen to the tape to find the answer. )
Part 2. Focusing on main facts
During the part, I will ask the students to answer the question—What does the author say? Students are supposed to get a main idea of the text and understand the basic meaning of the text. Questions of this kind are not very difficult and they can be answered directly from the text. The part includes six tasks:
Task 1: Three examples. I move on to tell students as follows: Last year, Carol Smith, Daniel and Martin Johnson, 3 students from the UK, went to some remote places and did something special. After the instructions, I play the tape of Paragraphs 4-6 and get students to complete the following table.
Task 2: Matching. After listening, I get students to open books and scan the three paragraphs to check the answers to the previous table. Then they’re required to complete another table with a second reading. (With the task, I get students to listen to the three paragraphs instead of reading them, thus reducing the amount of reading time and reliving their psychological burden, otherwise students would be discouraged by such a long article.)
(With the task, students learn to use a table to gather the main facts about the three British students. They’ll come to know that a table is of great help in their future reading.)
Task 3: Scanning for a detail. I get students to scan the rest paragraphs and find the answer to the question: What do people call the year off between finishing school and starting university? In doing so, I introduce the theme of the article and write on the blackboard the title: Mind the gap year.
(With the task, students are expected to grasp the theme of the article. The task serves as a bridge,which connects the main facts in Paragraphs 4-6 to the opinions about the gap year in the rest paragraphs.)
Task 4: Definition of the gap year. Students watch a VCR with a question in mind: What three types of activities do the UK students choose to do during a gap year? The key is: Many students use that time to travel, learn new skills or become a charity volunteer.
(The task serves as a supplementary to the second task of Part 1. With the task, students are expected to know more about the gap year.)
Task 5: History of the gap year. I play a second VCR and get students to answer the question: When did the gap year start in the UK?
(The task enables students to have a good knowledge of the history of the gap year.)
一、说课分析
（一）教材的地位和作用
本节课是本单元以及本教材的第一节课，本课谈论的是：朋友是不是仅限于人类、朋友的真正含义、如何与人相处的问题等关于朋友的话题。本课涉及的有陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语的掌握和运用等语法要点。学生从初中到高中，来到一个新的学校，同学彼此陌生，不免想起老同学，老朋友。这样的话题正好能引起学生的兴趣。而且本课的内容和语法的启发性和实用性都很强，能使学生在学中用，在用中学，对综合提高学生的听说读写能力有较好的促进作用。
（二）教学目标
英语教学大纲规定，通过听说读写的训练，使学生获得英语基础知识和运用英语的能力，激发学生的学习兴趣，为进一步学习打下良好的基础。因此，我制定以下教学目标：
知识目标：1、掌握和使用陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语。
2、讨论朋友和友谊。
3、学习掌握本课的重点词汇。
技能目标：1、学会阅读的技能——scanningand skimming 。
2、通过谈论朋友和友谊，既锻炼学生的语言运用能力，又培养了学生发现问题、思考问题、解决问题的能力。
3、理解阅读文段，复述故事。
情感态度：1、患难之交才是真朋友。
2、知音难得。
3、海内存知己，天涯若比邻。
文化意识：认识德国纳粹党。让学生了解那段德国法西斯残害犹太人的历史，使学生在感受外国历史文化的同时自然而然的习得语言。
（三）重点与难点
重点：1、训练scanningand skimming等阅读技能。
2、认识朋友的真正含义以及与人相处的问题。
难点：1、阅读技能的训练。
2、陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语的互相转换(人称的变化、时态的变化、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化)。
（四）教具
本课利用录音机、投影仪等辅助设备，激发学生的学习兴趣，调动他们的积极性，为展开话题提供丰富的材料，使教学收到事半功倍的效果。
二、说课分析
在新课程背景下，教师要成为学生学习的促进者、组织者和合作者。本课采用讨论法，主要采用小组合作讨论的方式。在读前阶段我就提出问题，让学生思考讨论是不是只有人与人之间才可以交朋友，然后在阅读中通过安妮的
三、说课分析
教务于学。传统教育的弊端是教师“满堂灌”，只重视怎么教而忽视怎样学，结果高分低能的现象十分严重。为了改变教师牵着学生鼻子走的被动状态，我通过创设话题，寓教于乐，引导学生自学、自做、自助、自悟，让学生学会自己动手，收集信息、处理信息，用所学语言去实践和解决问题，使学生在运用语言的过程中感悟体验所学语言的规律，培养语言意识，积累语言经验，形成语言感觉，达到语言运用的目的。从而使学生真正成为学习的主人。
四、说课过程
新课程改革的核心理念是“一切为了学生的发展”。学生的英语学习不仅仅是掌握几个单词和句型，更重要的是学会运用语言来交流思想，办实事。因此我精心设计了以下教学环节：
（一）激趣导入，务于新知
一节课的良好开始，对于整节课教学的顺利进行起着至关重要的作用。在Warming up 部分我分四步进行：
1、用问问题的形式导入(屏幕显示)。同时板书Unit 1 Friendship。
Do you have any friends? Are you good to your friends?
Which kind of friend do you think is the best friend?
2、做调查：在Warming up部分有5个问题，我让学生独立完成。然后在屏幕上显示下列表格。
3、调查结果：显示各得分情况所对应的调查结果，让学生自行对照。
Grade 1 (5分以下) 直截了当，做事果断，没考虑不良后果。
Grade 2 (10分以下) 能用更合理的方法处理问题，又不伤朋友之间的感情，但自己的利益有时会受损。
Grade 3 (10分以上) 不伤感情，又能保全自己利益。
通过调查问卷的形式，引导学生了解日常生活中朋友之间发生的真实问题以及解决这些问题的方法，最后的问卷调查结果让学生兴趣和热情倍增，这样能促使学生很快进入语言学习和探究活动中去，愉快的进入学习状态。
4、学习三句谚语，使学生明确对待朋友和友谊的态度。
A friend in need is a friend indeed. 患难之交才是真朋友。
Real friends are few and far between. 知音难得。
Long distance separates no bosom friends. 海内存知己，天涯若比邻。
（二）创设话题，教学新知
新课程指出，教师不再是居高临下的管理者，而是学生学习的促进者、组织者、合作者。
1、我布置Pre-reading部分的几个问题启发学生对“朋友”和“友谊”进行思考，使学生明确不仅人与人之间可以做朋友，日记也可以成为人们的朋友。接着让学生就问题进行小组讨论。然后让个别学生回答问题。
接着屏幕显示我补充的问题：
Why do you need friends?
What do you think a good friend should be like?
Does a friend always have to be a person?
让学生讨论后回答。引出课文的主题 Anne’s best friend –DIARY.
2、介绍故事背景：这是一个真实的故事。1933年－1945年，纳粹党对德国人民进行法西斯统治。只要他们一发现任何犹太人，就会把他们送到东欧波兰的集中营区。为了避免被抓，安妮和她的家人选择了躲藏，藏在了一栋房子的阁楼里，在躲藏的日子里，她只能和日记交朋友，她把心里一切的感受都告诉了日记，后来《安妮日记》出版后，很快成为全世界广为流传的一本书。
3、教学新的语言项目和句子结构。我在教学语言项目的时候，一是培养学生根据语篇、语境来猜词，一是用举例的方式来说明词的用法。
（三）阅读文段，强化新知
1、Scanning（查读）:学生们在了解了当时的历史背景后，以及理解了安妮当时的心境和为什么将日记视为自己的`朋友，这样才能深刻理解安妮日记的内涵。在此基础上，我设计了几个问题，让学生带着问题听录音。这样做能使学生更加集中注意力，抓住重点。（屏幕显示）。
Why did Anne make her diary her best friend ?
When did this story happen?
How long did they hide before they were discovered?
Anne’s best friend：
When was the diary written?
Why didn’t she go downstairs until the window had to be shut?
Sample diary:
2、Skimming(略读)：在学生对课文进行了探究之后，学生已经将课文的大部分内容融会贯通，消化理解了。这时让他们通过讨论来解决问题，可以使学生的学习潜能得以挖掘。（屏幕显示谈论的主题）
Make a free discussion.（Ex3 in comprehension）
* What would you miss most if you went into hiding like Anne and her family? Explain why.
* How would you describe Anne’s feelings as she was looking out into the night sky?
（四）难点再现，深化新知
在一节课结束前几分钟将重难点知识进行总结和归纳，是提高课堂教学效率的有力措施。我在屏幕上又显示了下列的句子，让学生明确什么地方需要加强，学习策略要做怎样的调整。
Explanation ：
* She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but ……” (Change Direct Speech into Indirect Speech)
* I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. (it’s because ……that )
* It was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face ……(Understanding Anne’s inside thoughts.)
（五）布置作业，巩固新知
为了巩固今天所学的内容，我要
最后，我说一下我的板书设计。为了浓缩教学内容，使学生对新课内容能一目了然，印象深刻，我采用纲目式设计板书，左侧列出课文中出现的重要的单词和词组，右侧列出重点句型。
Unit 1 Friendship
1、Useful words and expressions 2、 Important structures
五、教学评价
这一节课我主要采取任务型的教学形式，从任务呈现到任务准备（也就是知识与技能的教学），学生们在完成任务的驱使下，得到了语言交际和思想交流的机会，在讨论问题的过程中把知识和技能转化为交流能力。我以与学生平等的身份参与到学生的交际和交流中去，这充分体现了师生互动、生生互动的教学思想，从而达到预期的目的。
由于本人经验不足和能力有限，因此在备课和说课的过程中存在着一些不足之处，恳请各位领导、老师提出宝贵意见。谢谢！

Step two: Pre-reading
此部分的关键在于让学生了解如何制作电影，尤其是通过了解电影的制作而突出导演的重要作用。Task: To experience being a director (write one scene of the film and act it out).
活动形式
1.师生互动：教师提问If you want to make a film, who do you need to invite?通过此问题引出电影制作过程中所需的各种角色，如photographer, actor/actress, editor, director等等
2.小组活动：
1)教师可设置这样的讨论题：What part would you like to play in making a film?根据选择分组，让他们讨论选择各角色的理由。同时讨论各角色在电影制作中所做的不同工作。通过讨论，学生不难发现，在电影的制作过程中，导演起了非常关键的作用。
2)根据所选的各种角色交叉分组，发挥各自的作用。
a. What would the scene be like and what happens in it?
b. Who are the main actors in that scene and what do they do?
