《the West Lake》说课稿
一、 本课在教材中的地位
我说课的课题是人教版职高英语第二册Unit 9 Lesson 34阅读课文“the West Lake”。这是一篇叙述性的说明文，介绍了有关西湖的地理位置、景色和传说等内容。在知识上与第一册Unit 8 Travel和Unit 10 in the country 有一定的联系。这是一节阅读课，阅读课是每单元教学的重要环节。
二、 教学目标与要求
1、 根据大纲“巩固、扩大学生的基础知识”和关于词汇方面的要求，以及英语学科的语言特点，我确立本课的知识目标是：要求学生掌握以下词汇：attract\attraction , landscape , paradise , charming , surround ,historical, site, scenery, generation, romance, imprison, pearl, exposition , cultural, theatre, beach, make up , add /to , compare/ to , there’s no doubt.并且要求学生了解西湖美景，人文地理等。
2、 根据大纲“侧重培养阅读能力”的要求和高一学生阅读能力的发展水平，我确立的能力目标是训练学生的Skimming 和Scanning两种阅读能力，使学生学习归纳文章主题和段落大意。同时通过让学生课前上网搜索有关西湖这个名胜古迹的知识，培养学生获取获取信息处理信息以及表达的能力，从而渗透给学生网上学习的意识。
3、 为了贯彻“寓思想教育于语言教学之中”的教学原则，我对学生提出的智育目标是培养小组合作意识，培养热爱自然，热爱家乡和情感，增强保护文化遗产的意识，强化学生的公民意识。
三、 教学重难点
教学重点：通过对西湖相关知识的探究，使学生感受合作学习的新理念，培养个体学习及协作互助的优秀品质。本课的阅读容量不大，阅读材料是一个西湖概况，语言相对简练。教师可能引导学生寻找表达段落主题的关键词。下列关键词可供参考： one of the most famous tourist attractions in China / lie/ scenery/ stories/ like a pearl ,训练学生的阅读能力。
教学难点：一是学生的语言和信息技术问题。职业学校的学生英语水平普遍不高，不同专业的学生计算机处理信息能力参差不齐，因此要完成这样的探究对他们来说是挑战；二是观念问题，“合作学习”对于学生来说是新概念，如何转变观念，调整和变革自己的学习方式和策略是本课的另一突破口。
四、 教法与辅助手段
教学辅助手段：多媒体教学。它能迅速抓住学生的注意力，很快导入正课，它的好处有：加大课堂容量，“以图代文”的方式突破难点，指导学生逻辑思维，可以调动学生的积极性。
教师在课堂教学中坚持“教师为主导，学生为主体，任务为基础”的教学原则，在课堂教学的不同环节，教师应扮演自身作为设计者、研究者、组织者、促进者的角色，同是贯彻“教中学，学中用”策略，真正使学生学以致用。
多年的英语教学使我感到让学生学会并不难，难的让学生会学，讲授知识并不难，难的是培养学生运用知识的能力。英语学科无论教学还是考试都注重阅读能力，所以在本课中，我注重指导学生的阅读能力，主要体现在三个方面：一是Fast Reading.它对提高阅读速度和质量很有帮助，尤其是大纲要求学生能在较短时间内阅读相当篇幅的阅读材料。为达到上述教学目标，我运用任务型教学途径，即课堂导入——参与任务——学习新知——巩固新知——操练运用，课堂设计采用“P—T—P”自主学习立体模式（pre-task, task cycle, post task）。二是问答法。它可能帮助学生理解文章的细节。三是讨论法，通过pair work, group work,让学生得到口语训练的机会。教师应精心设计一些问题，分层教学，使每个学生都有话可说。
五、 学习策略的指导
1、 指导学生预习，熟悉文章中出现的新单词和短语，疏通文章的意思，完成Pre-reading部分的练习。
2、 将学生分成若干组，要求他们按照各自的特长和兴趣选择组内的角色并适当进行一些技术训练和指导。抽签选取本组的主题（预习题）。每个小组学习使用Internet 查寻资料方法和窍门，把搜寻到的有关西湖的资料保存。（学生在信息技术课上已学过了基本方法）
3、 学会倾听他人的意见，并主动参与课堂上各种活动，培养学生开放性思维能力。
4、 确立“学用英语相结合”的思想，用英语开展思维，分析复述课文，发表个人看法，提出独到见解。
