Good morning/afternoon, dear judges! It’s my honor to be here to present my class today. I’m number X candidate applying for the junior high school English teacher. And my presentation today is Dream Homes. In order to make my presentation much clearer, I’m going to divide it into 6 parts. Now I am going to present them one by one.

一、说教材

Firstly, I will give a brief analysis of teaching material. This is a reading lesson about different homes. It is from unit 1 of Book 2, Grade 7, published by the Oxford University Press. This topic is related to students’ daily life, so it is very important to encourage students to communicate.

Teaching Objectives

Given the analysis of teaching materials, the teaching objectives are designed as follows:

1. Students can understand the content of the three blogs.

2. Students can master some new words and the sentence: kitchen, living room, bedroom, I share a bedroom with my sister.

3. Students can learn about the different characteristics of homes around world and express their opinions on rooms.

4. Students can learn to observe their surroundings carefully and love their homes.

Key and Difficult Points

Based on the above analysis, I make the teaching key points and difficult points as follows:

Teaching key point is to understand the blogs and learn the new words and the sentence. While the teaching difficult point is to use the different reading skills in practice.

二、说学情

Knowing students well can help improve the teaching efficiency, now let me analyze the students. After four years’ basic English learning, they have already mastered some useful expressions and know some reading skills. Meanwhile, they can complete the tasks by cooperating with each other. But they still need guidance to use reading skills to get information. Therefore, in this lesson, I will stress the use of students’ reading skills.

三、说教学方法

Based on the analysis of the teaching material and students, I will choose situational teaching method, multi-media teaching method and task-based language teaching method for this lesson.

The learning method is students will study in pairs and groups to master the blogs.

四、说教学过程

According to the above analysis, teaching procedures –the most important part are designed as follows:

Step 1. Lead-in

Firstly, I will ask students to answer the question “How do you get to school?” Students can speak freely. And then I will show a map and some pictures of my home and describe them to the whole class.

The purpose of this step is to stir students’ interest in learning this lesson and make a preparation for the reading task.

Step 2 Pre-reading

In this step, I will guide students to look at the title and pictures and ask students to guess the main content of the blogs.

Through this activity, students can train their ability of guessing and become interested in the blogs.

Step 3 While-reading

Skimming

I will let students read the passage quickly and answer my question: What is the three blogs taking about? After reading, students can summarize the main idea is to introduce your home to others.

Scanning

I will let students read the passage again and try to fill in the chart on the blackboard and check the answer with students.

In this way, students can know the main content and more detailed information of the blogs and have a better understanding of the passage.

Careful reading

I will let students understand the new words by asking the questions: What is the function of the kitchen? What do Anna and her sister like to do in the living room and bedroom? And then try to translate the sentence “I share a bedroom with my sister” to understand the sentences.

By doing these, students can know the meaning of the new words and the sentence.

Step 4 Post-reading

In post-reading part, I will ask students to do a survey about their group members’ homes in groups and record the information in one chart then share their homes with the whole class.

Through this task, students can increase their interest in speaking English and improve their spoken English.

Step 5 Summary

For the summary of this lesson, I will invite some students to summarize the main content of this class. And I will make some supplements if necessary. What’s more, I will guide students to observe their surroundings carefully and love their homes.

Thus, students can summarize what they learned and achieve cultural awareness objective.

Step 6 Homework

For the final part of this lesson, I will ask students to write a blog of their own homes.

By doing the homework, students can consolidate what they have learned after class and improve their writing skills.

五、说板书设计

The last part is design of the blackboard. As you can see, I mainly write the key points so that students can grasp them.
