一節(jié)課下來(lái),教學(xué)目標(biāo)基本完成。通過(guò)層層遞進(jìn)的教學(xué)活動(dòng),學(xué)生掌握了重點(diǎn)詞匯和句型,完成了相應(yīng)的學(xué)習(xí)活動(dòng),核心素養(yǎng)的各個(gè)方面得到發(fā)展。需要改進(jìn)之處有以下幾點(diǎn):一是課堂氣氛不太活躍,部分學(xué)生缺乏學(xué)習(xí)興趣和積極性。二是活動(dòng)(4)沒(méi)有達(dá)到預(yù)設(shè)效果。雖然活動(dòng)前進(jìn)行了解釋,但大部分學(xué)生還是不明白,沒(méi)能找出正確的要點(diǎn)。三是缺少作業(yè)布置環(huán)節(jié)。因課時(shí)有限,沒(méi)能及時(shí)布置相關(guān)課后作業(yè)來(lái)促進(jìn)學(xué)生鞏固所學(xué)。四是板書(shū)設(shè)計(jì)過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單。除了文章標(biāo)題與基本生詞,還應(yīng)補(bǔ)充相應(yīng)內(nèi)容,凸顯文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和文本內(nèi)涵。
