Interpretation of Teaching Design
------Li Yiwan
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Li Yiwan. I’m from Zhoukou Middle School. It’s my great honor and pleasure to be here sharing my lesson with you about how to teach reading. In reading process, I will focus on students’ long-term development and enable them to use proper reading skills and strategies. In other words, students are guided to read efficiently and independently.
I have been ready to begin this representation with five parts. Analysis of the teaching material, the teaching aims, the important and difficult points, the studying methods, and the teaching procedure.
Part 1 Teaching Material
The content of my lesson is New Standard English Book 7 module 1. This module is about basketball. By studying of this module, we’ll enable students to know more about basketball and some famous players such as Michael Jordon and Wilt Chamberlain and to develop the interest in basketball and sports. At the same time, let the students learn how to express feelings and emotions with some adjectives ending in –ing or -ed. The reading material is about two famous players Michael Jordan and wilt chamberlain. For each person, there is a separate passage to describe their background and tell us how fantastic their achievement is. I think
this text is meaningful. Because most of our students know who is Michael Jordon, but many of them know little about his experience. And many teenagers do not know Wilt Chamberlain, because he is born in 1936 and died in 1999 when our students were just 4-5 years old. Through this text boys and girls could not only learn some useful language points but also broaden their horizon. As we all know, reading belongs to the input during the process of the language learning. The input has great effect on output, such as speaking and writing. Therefore, this lesson is in the important position of this module. If the Ss can master it well, it will be helpful for them to learn the rest of this module.
Part 2 Teaching Aims
According to the new standard curriculum and the syllabus, and after studying the teaching material, the teaching aims are the followings:
1.Knowledge objects
(1)The Ss can master the usage of the important words and expressions, such as attend, tie, deserve, in the history of, with an average of, there is no doubt that….. they are all key words and useful phrases.
(2)The Ss can use conversion in the proper situation. In this text, some nouns are used as verbs, such as name, score, average.
(3)The Ss can understand the content of the lesson, talk about the differences
and similarities between the two best-known athletes and get their own idea about how they can be so successful and why they deserve the admiration of fans from all over the world.
2.Ability objects
(1) To develop the Ss’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing
(2) To improve the student’s reading ability, especially their skimming and scanning ability.
(3) To train the Ss’ abilities of studying by themselves and cooperating.
(4) To train the Ss’ abilities of analyzing the structure of a text and the skills of introducing a person.
3.Emotion or moral objects
(1)By completing the task, the Ss increase their interest in basketball and the famous players and set them as examples of being successful
(2)Teach the Ss set up their own dreams and try to realize their dreams, put the moral education in the language study.
Part 3 the Important and Difficult Points
Based on the requirement of the syllabus.
The important points are those new words and useful phrases that I have mentioned above.
The difficult points are the comprehension of some complex sentences for example, some sentences include participles and attributive clauses as well.
Part 4 Teaching Methods
As is known to us all, a good teaching method requires that the teacher should help Ss develop good sense of the English language. For achieving these teaching aims, (after the analysis of the teaching material and teaching aims,) I decide to choose guided reading and task-based teaching as the main teaching approaches with the help of PPT and computer as well
Part 5 Teaching Procedure
Step 1. Lead-in.
I will ask students some questions about sports and basketball
1. do you like sports?
2. please make a list of sports as much as possible
3. do you like basketball? Why and why not？
4. do you know some famous basketball players? Give some examples and who is your favorite?
This procedure is just like a brainstorm, we can review some words about sports and at the same time through this step we can arouse students’ interest and lead students into the topic about basketball and players. If possible, I should display some pictures about sports and players with the help of computer. Because many of our students are from countryside and their English is poor, maybe they can not list enough English names of sports, some pictures with words could be helpful.
Step 2. Pre-reading
Task 1. pair work
On page 2,there are two pictures of Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. I will ask students to make a discussion with their partners and make a short conversation and then to give a show. They could talk about anything just about the two persons. Because our students have some difficulties in speaking and speaking is also a major skills in English learning that we could not ignore, students could use some simple words to do this task as long as they open their mouth to express their ideas. No matter what mistakes they make in grammar, no matter how much words they use in total.
Purpose of my design is to get to know something information about the Michael Jordon and Wilt Chamberlain from the material on this book and the partner’s description. The second purpose is set up a interest in talking about a famous person and how to comment a person.
Step 3. While-reading
Task 1. Individual work( _____min)
Skimming: Ss should read the material fast to find out the main idea for each paragraph and the whole passage.
Task 2. (Individual work_____ min)
Scanning: Listen to the tape part by part to finish activity 4 and 5 on page 4 to comprehend the correct meaning of some words and phrases. They should finish these two exercise the moment listening is over. Do the exercise by themselves without look up the dictionary.
Task 3. (Individual work _____min)
Scanning: Guide Ss to read the material carefully and answer the questions of activity 2 and 3. Activity 2 is a question-and-answer drill, so I demand students to underline the sentences in the text which could tell us the answer. Activity 3 is a true or false drill, so l demand my students not only judge the sentence but also
correct the false ones and underline the reason in the text. Maybe it’s a waste of time, but I just want them to find the answer from the reading material. You know our students usually guess which one is correct without referring to the reading material.
Task 4. group work _____min)
Discussion 1. check the answers with their partners or group members
2.discuss these questions such as the meaning of the question and answers, and give their reasons
3.get ready to display their answers and comment other group’s answers
Purpose of my design: Enable students to understand the given material better by using different reading skills. And proper competition can arouse the Ss’ interest in English learning. “Task-based” teaching method is used here to develop the Ss’ ability of communication and also their ability of co-operation will be well trained. Here teacher is more like a show host whose job is control the process of the class or circling in the classroom to help them if they have some problems.
Step 4. Post-reading
group work
Discuss what you have learned in this class with other group members and then choose a reporter to share their opinions with the whole class. That is to make a list of learned words and phrases and sentences they like. Students in a high level could express their feelings about the two persons’ achievement and talk about their dreams and so on. Just free talk.
Purpose of my design: I think If the Ss can finish this task well, they will benefit a lot in their spoken English. Most Ss can take their parts in the activities, especially for the Ss who have trouble in English study.
Step 5. Homework
Ask students to write a short summary about one of the two players with the learned words and phrases in the text.
Purpose of my design: I think If the Ss can finish this task well, they will benefit a lot in their written English. Just one or two paragraphs with several sentences is ok.
Purpose of my design: Homework is so important and necessary for to master the knowledge they learned after class. It will check whether the Ss achieve the teaching aims.
