说课

本节课是义务教育教科书英语五年级下册第八单元Birthdays第一课时Story time。

本课的教学目标设定为以下四点。

1. 能听懂、会说、会读eleventh, eighth, together, birthday, April, game等本课所涉及的单词。

2. 能理解和初步运用句型：When’s your birthday?、It’s on …、What do you do on your birthday?、I usually …。

3. 能初步感知序数词的构成和用法。

4. 能正确地理解并朗读故事，在教师的指导和帮助下尝试复述或表演故事。

在导入环节，教师通过一首耳熟能详的生日快乐歌曲，让学生领略不同语言的生日快乐歌从而引出本课的教学。不仅活跃了课堂气氛，也为本节课的新知学习做好了铺垫。接着，教师通过谈论birthday所引起的联想将学生已学的旧知和新知相融合，也为课文的学习打下了基础。在文本学习环节，先通过两个问题，让学生通过看动画学习日期的表达。再引导学生自读课文，抓住两个不同人物在生日时所做的事对课文的内容有进一步了解。

在巩固环节，教师安排了一系列的阅读训练。跟读时，教师尽量引导学生模仿录音，注意语音语调的变换，重读、弱读等朗读技巧的处理。齐读时，教师注意及时纠正学生的发音。接着，教师设计通过板书来复述课文，让学生自主选择复述的方式。这样的设计能够帮助学生加深对故事的理解和印象，巩固所学。最后，教师鼓励孩子们模仿课文，介绍一下自己的生日是如何度过的，强调了语言的实际运用。
