Good morning, dear judges! I’m number X candidate applying for an English teacher of the XXX School. Today my topic is What does he do? In order to make it clear, I will express my thoughts from the following 5 parts, which are the analysis of the teaching material, analysis of students, teaching methods and learning methods, teaching procedures and blackboard design. Now I am going to present them one by one.

一、说教材

The first section of my presentation is teaching material. Today’s lesson is Unit 5 of Book 1 of Grade 6, published by People’s Education Press. Students can learn some reading strategies like skimming, scanning and intensive reading to deal with some information. The main theme of this text is close to students’ daily life. Actually they all have had such experience to use language to describe what they like and what they want to be in the future, so this lesson will be quite useful to students’ daily life.

After the analysis of teaching material, let’s move to the teaching objectives.

1. Students can learn some words about jobs like coach, secretary, scientist and get the main idea of the text.

2. Students can learn how to find out the detailed information from the text. And they can improve their reading and writing abilities by finishing some tasks. They can use reading strategies such as skimming, scanning and intensive reading and know how to describe what people like and what kind of job they want.

3. Students can be more interested in English reading and have a correct outlook of career and treat different jobs equally.

Based on the above objectives, I make the teaching key points and difficult points as follows.

Teaching key points are that students can use some reading strategies like skimming, scanning and intensive reading to get the main idea of the text and find out some detailed information.

While the teaching difficult points are that students can improve their reading and writing abilities and treat different jobs equally with a correct view of career.

二、说学情

Knowing students well can help improve class teaching efficiency. Students in grade 6 are around age of 12 or 13, with the increase of their age, students’ cognitive capacity has been improved significantly, and they have had certain skills in English. They are eager to learn, eager to know. What’s more, they are forming the ability to explore English knowledge and to use some tools such as pictures, radios and dictionaries.

三、说教学方法

As primary school students, they can’t keep their attention for a long time. So I will use some games, some competitions to attract their attention. I will also adopt task-based language teaching and communicative approach. These methods can provide students with opportunities to experience different ways of language study.

To make the class active and stimulate students’ enthusiasms, I will use autonomic learning, cooperating learning and discussion as the learning methods of this class.

四、说教学过程

Now, let’s move to the most important part—teaching procedures. It contains six steps as follows:

Step 1. Lead-in

For this step, firstly I will start like this: “Doctor, actor, lawyer or a singer, why not president, be a dreamer. You can be just the one you wanna be. Police man, fire fighter or a post man, why not something like your old man. You can be just the one you wanna be.” with the song Be What You Wanna Be and then I will ask students what kind of job they heard and now what kind of job they know. I will choose two or three students to share with others.

The purpose of this step is to elicit the topic of jobs.

Step 2. Pre-reading

In this step, I will present three pictures of Hu Bin, Sarah and Robin on the book one by one to lead students to guess what kind of job they want to do and students can make a prediction about the text.

Step 3. While-reading

I will use three strategies, skimming, scanning and intensive reading to lead students to understand this text.

Skimming:

I will give a few minutes for students to read the text quickly and tell them to think about the question “What is the text talking about?”. Then I will ask some students to answer the question and let them check the guess in the Pre-reading. And in this way, students can practice their abilities to read quickly and get the main idea.

Scanning:

I will ask students to read again and complete the following two tasks:

(1) Ask and Answer:

①What does Hu Bin like?

②Where does Sarah want to work?

③Who wants to be a scientist?

These three questions are set up in a logical way to let students learn how to find out the detailed information through scanning. And I will use simple words and movements to help them understand these three jobs, coach, secretary and scientist. And in this way, students can practice their abilities to read quickly and find out the key information.

(2) True or False:

I will say three sentences:

①Hu Bin is good at football, ping-pong and basketball .(T)

②Sarah wants to work in an office. (T)

③Robin wants to be a scientist like his grandfather. (F)

I will ask students to judge and correct the sentences and understand the text better.

Intensive reading:

I will encourage students to read for a third time and make a table about their names and the answers to these three questions:

What does he/she like?

What does he/she want to be?

Where is he/she going to work?

In this way, students can find out the detailed information and understand the whole text at the same time.

Step 4. Post-reading

I will divide students into small groups of two and they can talk about what they like, what they want to be and where they are going to work with their partner. They need to write the detailed information down. Then I will choose some students to share with the whole class. It can check what students have learned and help students improve their understanding and expressing abilities and practice their full skills at the same time.

Step 5. Summary

For the summary of this lesson, I will lead students to summarize what they have learned in this class and make some supplements timely. From this way I can check the effect of the class and make plans for the next class. In addition, tell them to respect different jobs to achieve the cultural awareness objective.

Step 6. Homework

For the final part of this lesson, I will ask students to make a survey of seven schoolmates about what they like and what they want to be and where they are going to work. And I will choose some students to report the result in the next class. By doing the homework, students can strengthen what they have learned after class.

五、说板书设计

After finishing the teaching procedures, I will come to the last section: blackboard design. As you can see, I have mainly used tables and pictures to present the lesson points so that students will understand the text better and use what they have learned in their writing.
