The analysis of the students

The   students have learned English for almost five years. They have stimulated a   certain amount of words and they have already known to answer questions with   yes or no. It is a challenge for students to use the new words and sentence   patterns flexibly and correctly. Most of the students are from the city have   a good command of knowledge , and some of them are from the countryside, so   they are a little poor in the former knowledge.

The   students’ cognition and the ability of application are still based on the   specific objects, so this lesson will be closed to the real life and create   the real situation to help students consolidate key words and key sentences   what they have learned. Thus, they will be easy to learn the new words and   sentences.

The teacher will design the assignment   related to this class in advance. In this activity, the teacher will show the   assignment to the students, and the teacher must specify the time and form of   the assignment.

Students   are familiar with the assignment，know how to complete the corresponding   work and submit it within the specified time.

By setting up two layered operations,   from simple to difficult, step by step to the learning objectives and master   the key and difficult points of this lesson.

Design   concept and ideas

In order to achieve better teaching In order to achieve better teaching effection   , the teacher designs this class  as the following concepts: 1)  Concept of Outcomes-based Education; 2)  Concept of Students-centred in class ;3)  Concept of Core Competence of English;4)  Outlook of  English  Learning Activities.

Based on the concepts above , the teacher designs this class as the following ideas:

1)Through lead-in activity, the teacher and her mother go shopping for the birthday party and use the situational teaching method to introduce the key content of this class.

2) Through presentation activities   ,the teacher create the situation  to help students to recognize the new content, that is, the words about fruit, so that students can perceive and use language in the situation.

3) Through practice activities   ,such as connection, asking and answering, rush answer, role play, listening and so on, the students can better use the

key words and patterns so as to improve their language ability.

4) Through production activity, teacher also designs   Mike's    birthday, invites  the students to be Mike's friends, prepares surprise for Mike's birthday, go shopping in the supermarket and say what they want to buy, finally

conduct output orientation, and finally consolidate the key words and sentence   patterns of this class, so as to achieve the teaching objectives of    this class,

5) After presentation, practice and production,the teacher will also

lead the students to classify the food as healthy and unhealthy, guide the

students to eat more healthy food and stay away from unhealthy food,

which also infiltrates the emotional values here.

Teaching   reflection

1) In this class, the three teaching objectives have been achieved on the

whole, and the ability objectives have not been achieved for a small number of students with weak foundation.

2)The design of the teaching process is highly coherent and logical.

The arrangement of activities is quite reasonable.

3)Teaching methods and means are more scientific. The use of multimedia teaching is in line with the characteristics of contemporary middle school students and improves their interest in English learning.

4) The interaction between teachers and students is generally good,

but some students can't keep up and don't have a good learning effect. In the future, the diversity and stratification of exercises can be considered in

the design of exercises, and the students with good foundation and slightly weak

foundation can be stratified to achieve the learning objectives.
