Good morning, teachers.I am .I am very happy to be here sharing my leon with you.The content of my leon is the reading and vocabulary part taken from New Standard English 5, Module 4--Carnival.There are five parts in my leon--teaching material, teaching aims, teaching methods, studying methods and teaching procedures.While presenting these parts I will do the blackboard design properly.
Ok, let’s begin the first part.
Part 1 Teaching Material
The reading and vocabulary contains 5 parts—one text and 4 exercises.The topic of this leon is “The Magic of the Mask”, which concerns about the origins of carnival.Through this leon, we will enable the students to know carnival and develop their interest in the festival cultures home and abroad.Besides, the students can improve their reading skills and strategies, and also learn the new words in the context.
原因: Reading is one of the skills that the students must have.It belongs to the input during the proce of language learning, which has great effect on output, such as speaking and writing.In addition, this kind of reading paage takes a big portion, so how to improve the students’ reading skills and how to raise their awarene of culture background is of great importance.
Part 2 Teaching aims教学目标
According to the new standard curriculum and syllabus, the teaching aims of this leon can be set as follow:
1、Knowledge aims:
(1) The students can understand the content of the paage, know foreign cultures, and try to describe a Chinese festival in their own words.
(2) The students can master the usage of the important words and expreions.
2、Ability aims:
(1) To improve the students’ reading ability, especially the skimming and scanning.
(2) To train the students to gue the meaning of new words through the text, and
also to extract and select the important information.
3、Cultural Consciousne
(1) To learn the differences between the Chinese festivals and foreign ones.
(2) To raise awarene of cro-cultural communication.
The Key Points and Difficult Points in my leon are listed below:
Key points in teaching
(1) Through studying the paage, the students should learn how to get the main idea of the paage, analyze the structure, and obtain useful information.
(2) The students should be trained how to do skimming and scanning.
The Difficult Points:
There is only one.
(1) The students in Senior Two are not familiar with the reading skills such as skimming and scanning, so we need to guide them to practice the skills through the reading tasks, for instance, reading the text in limited time.
Part 3 Teaching Methods
In the Senior High school, to teach English is to increase students’ abilities, such as reading, writing and speaking.Therefore, I will adopt the following teaching methods:
(1)Communicative Approach (交际教学法)
(2)Whole Language Teaching (整体语言教学法)
(3)Task-based Language Teaching (任务教学法)
整体语言教学法：①强调整体。在语言教学中，听、说、读、写是不可分割的整体。
②语言要和文化、社区相结合，教师要和学生相结合。学习语言的目的是为了满足学生在现实生活中的真实需要，能够进行有意义的人际交流，解决生活中的实际问题，而不是为了学习语言而学习语言。
③单元以主题为中心O 在一个单元中，所有的学科都围绕着同一主题来进行。主题应激发学生的兴趣，能够将各门科目结合在一起，组成一个完整的教学单元。
Through these ways, I will make the students the real masters in cla while the teacher acts as a director.
In order to practice my teaching methods well, I need some teaching aids:
1、the CAI 计算机辅助教学(computer-aided instruction) equipments: The multimedia
2、a projector 投影仪
3、the blackboard.
Part 4 Studying Methods
Students in Senior Two are quick in thoughts, and have certain ability in reading.However, they are not good at reading comprehension and they lack the courage to expre their ideas.Therefore, a succeful leader should pay more attention to their learning strategies:
(1) Purposeful Reading
During reading, students have the ability to catch the main ideas of the text, but when doing exercises, they cannot find the correct answer.Therefore, teachers have the duty to lead students to read with purpose and do the detail reading.
(2) Collaborative learning协作学习
Collaborative learning is an effective way to motivate every student to get involved in English practice and this study proce will become an interesting experience.
(3) Autonomous learning自主学习
Autonomous learning is to make students as the main body of learning.It means that the students achieve learning goals by their independent analysis, exploration and practice.
