Good morning, dear judges! I’m very glad to be here to present my class today. I’m number X candidate applying for the English teacher. And my topic today is Unit 6 Whose dress is this. 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
First of all, I will give a brief analysis of the teaching material. The topic of this unit is Whose dress is this, which is the Unit 6 of Book 4, primary school, published by Yilin Press. The situation of this lesson is about a dress party. The boys and girls in the dialogue are talking about the clothes that they are wearing. Therefore, this lesson can help students learn many useful expressions and can lay a solid foundation for the students to study English in the future. Given the analysis of teaching materials, the teaching objectives are designed as follows:
1. Students can listen and speak the new words like dress and gloves.
2. Students can use the sentence pattern “Whose dress is this?” and can answer the question.
3. Students can develop their speaking, listening and cooperation abilities.
4. Students can develop students’ awareness of observing.
5. Students’ interests in learning English will be motivated.
Based on the objectives, I make the teaching key point and difficult point as follows:
The key point is that students can understand the new words and the content of the dialogue. While the teaching difficult point is that students can learn to use the new sentence pattern “Whose...is it?” to ask questions and can answer it in their daily conversation.
二、说学情
After the analysis of the teaching material, now let me analyze the students. The students are from grade 4 of primary school. Students in grade 4, who apply image thinking, only have initial contact with English. They need the help of some teaching aids, like pictures, to distinguish between Chinese and English.
Meanwhile, they are active in class, eager to learn and show themselves. But they cannot concentrate for a long time. Therefore, I will organize some interesting activities to draw their attention to improve teaching efficiency.
三、说教学方法
As we all know, the aims of teaching English in primary school is to cultivate students’ basic abilities of listening and speaking and their good sense of the English language. Make sure all the students take part in class, I will choose audio-lingual and task-based language teaching methods for this lesson.
According to teaching objectives and students’ characteristics, in this class, students will work in pairs and in groups to grasp the new words and the sentence pattern to improve their communication abilities.
四、说教学过程
According to the above analysis, teaching procedures—the most important part is designed as follows:
Step 1. Lead-in
At the beginning of the class, I will sing a song The party time (Lyrics: It’s party time! It’s party time! We’re going to a party; we’re going to a party! Come on everybody; come on everybody!) with students together to create a relaxing atmosphere. Then I will organize a free talk with students around party to lead in today’s topic. The purpose is to attract students to today’s situation and get familiar with today’s topic.
Step 2. Presentation
In this step, I will lead students to listen to the tape for three times.
1. Lead students to listen to the tape for the first time with an easy question “What are they talking about?” After that, check whether their answers are right or not.
2. I will ask the students “What are Helen and Su Yang talking about?” Then lead students to open the book and listen to the tape for the second time. So, the sentences “Whose dress is this?”; “It’s my cousin’s” and the new words can be elicited naturally.
3. I will play the tape again and students read the whole dialogue again following the tape for the last time and imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
After listening three times, students can get the content of the dialogue and be familiar with the new words and sentences.
Step 3. Practice
For this step, I have 2 activities:
Activity 1: High and low voice
I will read the new words with students in an interesting way. When I speak a word in a high voice and students speak it in a low voice; when I speak a word in a low voice and students speak it in a high voice.
Activity 2: Act out the conversation
Several students in one group to play the roles in the dialogue. And they will act the dialogue out to practice the conversation. After that, I will invite some groups to show their performance in the class.
Through two activities, students can practice the new words and sentences so that get the new knowledge well.
Step 4. Consolidation
In this step, I designed 1 task: Draw and Say
It is also a group activity. Students in one group draw different kinds of clothes first, and make up a dialogue according to the content of text. They should practice the dialogue several times, and then act out the dialogue in the front of the class. This task can cultivate students’ abilities of language using and cooperation.
Step 5. Summary
Students summarize what they have learned in this lesson, including words and sentence patterns, and I will give some supplements if necessary, and reminds them to observe the life and use the new knowledge in their daily life.
Step 6. Homework
For the final part of this lesson, I will lead students to practice the dialogue with their parents after class.
By doing the homework, students can strengthen what they have learned after class. Thus, their expressing skills will be improved.
五、说板书设计
After finishing the part of teaching procedure, I will come to the last section: design of the blackboard. As you can see, I wrote the key points and draw some pictures on the blackboard so that students will grasp the knowledge better and use them in the actual life.
