Unit 8 I’d like some noodles
( period 1 1a to grammar focus)
一、The analysis of the textbook.
Different people have different tasts and habits of the food. Unit 8 focuses on the chinese food and it specialities. The main languge targets are “ What kind of noodles would you\he \she like ? I’d \ He’d\She’d like …… noodles. What size bowl of noodles would you \he \she like?” I’d\ He’d \She’d like a small\ medium\large bowl of noodles. It is an interesting topic related to the students’ daily lives. So it is easy to arouse the interests of the students.
二．The analysis of the students.
The students show a lot enthusiams and passions to the lesson . Because the topic is useful and necessary in their daily lives. They show great curiosity and inquiry. Most names of the food are familiar to them. However some students are not familiar with some new words of the food such as beef, mutton, cabbage and so on. Besides the words of bowl , large, special are hard for them to pronouce. Some students have never seen or eaten the food in the lesson. So I will help them to overcome these obstacles. I will help them enjoy the fun of English .
三．The analysis of the teaching methods.
1. The students are always the masters of the class. The teachers are only the guides and organizers of the class activities. In English teaching, we should make the lessons close to their daily lives ,and complish the teaching goals in the activites. We should make the students master the ways to study in the activities. So the teachers and students can show their initiatives and creativities at their best.
2. I adopt the task-based teaching method. I mix the main words and main language targets into the pratical activities. The students complish the goals through the experance of the class activities.
3. Groupwork is the main teaching method in the English class. The teacher should give the students more freedom to show and express themselves. We should provide a stage for the students to mix the knowledge , exchange the information and share the resources .The teachers had better give them more praise and affirmation. So the relations between the teachers and students are natural and democratic.
