2024高中英语教案范文 篇1

一、教材分析

(一)教材的地位和作用

本节课是本单元以及本教材的第一节课，本课谈论的是：朋友是不是仅限于人类、朋友的真正含义、如何与人相处的问题等关于朋友的话题。本课涉及的有陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语的掌握和运用等语法要点。学生从初中到高中，来到一个新的学校，同学彼此陌生，不免想起老同学，老朋友。这样的话题正好能引起学生的兴趣。而且本课的内容和语法的启发性和实用性都很强，能使学生在学中用，在用中学，对综合提高学生的听说读写能力有较好的促进作用。

(二)教学目标

英语教学大纲规定，通过听说读写的训练，使学生获得英语基础知识和运用英语的能力，激发学生的学习兴趣，为进一步学习打下良好的基础。因此，我制定以下教学目标：

知识目标：

1、掌握和使用陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语。

2、讨论朋友和友谊。

3、学习掌握本课的重点词汇。

技能目标：

1、学会阅读的技能——scanningand skimming 。

2、通过谈论朋友和友谊，既锻炼学生的语言运用能力，又培养了学生发现问题、思考问题、解决问题的能力。

3、理解阅读文段，复述故事。

情感态度：

1、患难之交才是真朋友。

2、知音难得。

3、海内存知己，天涯若比邻。

文化意识：

认识德国的纳粹党。让学生了解那段德国法西斯残害犹太人的历史，使学生在感受外国历史文化的同时自然而然的习得语言。

(三)重点与难点

重点：

1、训练scanningand skimming等阅读技能。

2、认识朋友的真正含义以及与人相处的问题。

难点：

1、阅读技能的训练。

2、陈述句和疑问句的直接引语和间接引语的互相转换(人称的变化、时态的变化、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化)。

(四)教具

本课利用录音机、投影仪等辅助设备，激发学生的学习兴趣，调动他们的积极性，为展开话题提供丰富的材料，使教学收到事半功倍的效果。

二、教法分析

在新课程背景下，教师要成为学生学习的促进者、组织者和合作者。本课采用讨论法，主要采用小组合作讨论的方式。在读前阶段我就提出问题，让学生思考讨论是不是只有人与人之间才可以交朋友，然后在阅读中通过安妮的日记向学生说明我们也可以与动物及无生命的日记交朋友。在深刻理解、充分训练的基础上，我再引导学生深入讨论几个与本课有关的话题，展开教师为主导、学生为主体的师生双边活动。通过创设真实自然的语言环境，使学生在语言实践中把语言知识和技能主动转化为交流能力，变苦学为乐学，从而培养学生大胆用英语进行交际的能力。

三、学法分析

教务于学。传统教育的弊端是教师“满堂灌”，只重视怎么教而忽视怎样学，结果高分低能的现象十分严重。为了改变教师牵着学生鼻子走的被动状态，我通过创设话题，寓教于乐，引导学生自学、自做、自助、自悟，让学生学会自己动手，收集信息、处理信息，用所学语言去实践和解决问题，使学生在运用语言的过程中感悟体验所学语言的规律，培养语言意识，积累语言经验，形成语言感觉，达到语言运用的目的。从而使学生真正成为学习的主人。

四、教学过程

新课程改革的核心理念是“一切为了学生的发展”。学生的英语学习不仅仅是掌握几个单词和句型，更重要的是学会运用语言来交流思想，办实事。因此我精心设计了以下教学环节：

(一)激趣导入，务于新知

一节课的良好开始，对于整节课教学的顺利进行起着至关重要的作用。在Warming up部分我分四步进行：

1、用问问题的形式导入(屏幕显示)。同时板书Unit 1 Friendship。

Do you have any friends? Are you good to your friends?

Which kind of friend do you think is the best friend?

2、做调查：在Warming up部分有5个问题，我让学生独立完成。然后在屏幕上显示下列表格。

3、调查结果：显示各得分情况所对应的调查结果，让学生自行对照。

Grade 1 (5分以下)直截了当，做事果断，没考虑不良后果。

Grade 2 (10分以下)能用更合理的方法处理问题，又不伤朋友之间的感情，但自己的利益有时会受损。

Grade 3 (10分以上)不伤感情，又能保全自己利益。

通过调查问卷的形式，引导学生了解日常生活中朋友之间发生的真实问题以及解决这些问题的方法，最后的问卷调查结果让学生兴趣和热情倍增，这样能促使学生很快进入语言学习和探究活动中去，愉快的进入学习状态。

4、学习三句谚语，使学生明确对待朋友和友谊的态度。

A friend in need is a friend indeed.患难之交才是真朋友。

Real friends are few and far between.知音难得。

Long distance separates no bosom friends.海内存知己，天涯若比邻。

(二)创设话题，教学新知

新课程指出，教师不再是居高临下的管理者，而是学生学习的促进者、组织者、合作者。

我布置Pre-reading部分的几个问题启发学生对“朋友”和“友谊”进行思考，使学生明确不仅人与人之间可以做朋友，日记也可以成为人们的朋友。接着让学生就问题进行小组讨论。然后让个别学生回答问题。

接着屏幕显示我补充的问题：

Why do you need friends?

What do you think a good friend should be like?

2024高中英语教案范文 篇2

一、教学内容分析

本单元的中心话题是西方绘画艺术的历史和中西方各种艺术形式和风格。听说读写都是围绕这个而展开的。

这节课的内容主要是围绕中国的绘画艺术的历史和风格及其各个时期的代表作品而展开的。通过做听力训练和热身，让他们对艺术和绘画有一个大概的了解，从而为接下来西方艺术的学习垫定基础。

二、教学目标

1.aims of knowledge(知识目标)

1) to know the information about art

2) to know some relevant words and expressions

2.aims of abilities(能力目标)

1) to improve students' listening ability by guessing the content and setting down the key words

2) to enable the students to understand the brief short history of the traditional chinese painting

3.affective aims(情感、态度与价值观目标)

to arouse the patriotic spirit of the students and improve their team spirit by doing the group work

三、学习者特征分析

虽然这是选修七第一单元的第一个课时，学生在语言理解上会有一定障碍。我们班学生男生为大多数，普遍听力较薄弱，也比较缺乏兴趣。但是高二的学生通过一年多的高中英语学习，已经积累了一定的词汇，而且在听听力之前教师会让学生做热身，先熟悉目标词汇，使听力难度降低。在课堂上通过播放自己制作的视频来显示不同时期的绘画作品，同时播放《江南style》让学生自由展示自己的舞蹈，从而来激发学生的兴趣，消除学生听力课上的紧张情绪。

四、教学策略选择与设计

1.students-centered teaching

以学生为中心 让学生积极参与课堂

2.task-based teaching

听力环节教师创设情境，设置不同的听力教学任务，锻炼学生的思维

五、教学重点及难点

1. to know about the traditional chinese art

2. to set down the key words while listening

六、教学过程

教师活动

学生活动

设计意图

step1:warming up

(1) show the art works of fruit

(2) brainstorming

(3) enjoy a video of chinese painting

(4) learn the brief history of chinese painting

在用多媒体展示图片和视频后让学生回答下面的问题：

q1. what do you think of it?

q2.do you feel happy after seeing them?

q3.can you think of any other art styles?

运用多媒体展示让内容形象直观，激趣导入艺术和绘画这个话题，提高学生学习的自觉性和主动性。同时让学生了解中国绘画的历史。

step2: pre-listening

talk about the artworks and guess what period of chinese history each artwork belongs to .

preview the relevant words and expressions

让学生根据图片猜测这些作品所属的年代

学生猜词意，读单词

图文并茂加上老师的讲解，让枯燥的知识生动化，让学生直观的感受意识产生的自然过程，并能够较快接受相关词汇。为听力打好基础。

step3: first-listening

put the words of time into order

听完材料后思考并讨论问题，学生回答问题。

听力中相关的年代和时期，在之前热身中已熟悉，把时间排序，提高对数字听力的敏感度。

step4:second-listening

listen again and take some notes for the detailed information( who &when)

分组讨论思考。学生回答问题。

听细节，此作品是什么人在什么年代创作。

提高学生听力中把握细节的能力。

step5: game time (江南style)

学生观看视频再上台表演

小游戏是一个小高潮，气氛顿时活跃，调节课堂氛围，激发学生学习兴趣。

step6: conclusion and evaluation

思考讨论并回答。让学生对本节课进行总结，反思自己所学。

让学生反思的过程其实是让学生做自我评估，对自己的英语学生有一个及时的了解。对教师课堂效率的提高有一 定帮助。

2024高中英语教案范文 篇3

一、教材分析：

本课是结合人教版高中英语教材选修5中有关过去分词的语法内容，进行过去分词的学习，教学中将语法知识的传授和语言基本技能的学习结合到一起，注重复习语法与语言的运用。采用任务型教学法和小组合作探究学习法，从而扩大课堂的语言输入量及学生的语言输出量。

二、学情分析：

在高一英语学习基础上，学生已经掌握基本的语言结构和一定程度的听说读写能力。在复习的过程中，结合学生原有的知识掌握水平，巩固基础强化正确使用语法知识，提高学生运用语言的深度和难度.但大部分学生的基础知识仍然较为薄弱，运用英语进行交际活动的能力较差，主动学习的动力不够，然而他们学习比较认真，渴求知欲旺盛，思维比较活跃。部分学生的基础较好，能主动配合老师。只有设置使他们感兴趣的活动，因材施教，才能让他们投入到课堂活动中来。

三、教学目标:

1.知识目标:

引导学生掌握过去分词在真实的生活语境中的使用。培养学生通读，分析，理解，综合的能力，教会学生体察语境，结合上下文，符和逻辑推理和合理的想象，结合语法和题干中的语境解决问题。在运用语言过程中培养学生的观察力、分析力、想象力和自学能力，提高思维能力和运用英语的综合能力。

2.能力目标：

利用多媒体手段营造积极和谐教学氛围，使学生进入情景之中，充分调动学生的思维活动和情感体验，规范学生运用英语知识准确表达的能力，同时，发展学生综合语言运用的能力，分析问题和解决问题的能力，培养学生自主学习。

3.德育目标：

用含过去分词的句子结构表达思想感情。

四、教学重点:

1.过去分词的用法. 2. 过去分词的运用

五、教学难点:

1.结合语法知识，以课堂教学为依托，全面训练学生的听、说、读、写能力，加强和提高运用英语的综合能力。

2. 过去分词在真实的生活语境中的使用。

六、教学策略:

通过小组讨论、小组竞赛等具体形式，创设有利于高中生自己自我认识、自我反省、自我调节的情境，利用他们自身较高的自我意识水平对自己的学习进行调节、监控。因此，本课采用教学方法---任务型教学法。以任务为中心，任务的设计焦点是解决某一具体的贴近学生生活的问题。教师要从学生“学”的角度来设计教学活动，使学生的学习活动具有明确的目标。在的各种“任务”中，学生能够不断地获得知识并得出结论。

七、学习策略:

本课将各种活动设计成小组活动并开展小组竞赛和填写课堂自我评价表等非测试性评价手段，帮助学生养成自主学习与合作学习的能力，培养创新意识和实践能力，以及具备科学的价值观。

八、教学用具：

多媒体辅助（将本课所需要的图片、文字等制成PPT课件）

九、 教学过程：

Step 1 Greeting Step 2 Leading-in

1. Get students to enjoy a story read by a student. While listening to the story, they should keep the underlined sentences in mind and then teacher will check up how many sentences the students remember.

It was snowing and very cold outside. A little girl was walking in the street, selling matches. She didn’t wear any shoes because she . She but nobody bought a single one. She was so cold that she sat in a corner . She lit a match and saw a Christmas tree The and she . She lit another one and saw her grandmother. , her grandmother went away with her .The next day, people 2. Brainstorming

What is the Past Participle? In your opinion, what role does the Past Participle play in the sentences?

设计说明：

1. 教师首先展示安徒生的《卖火柴的小女孩》图片和文本，然后请一位学生有感情的朗读，教师通过多媒体呈现图片和学生的朗读，目的是对学生的视觉和听觉作一个冲撞，吸引学生的注意力，并激发起好奇心。

2.利用新颖和形象的图片导入，让学生边听边记，最后考查学生记住几个过去分词，符合中学生的挑战心理，激发它们的学习热情，从而引出本节课的话题--过去分词。再者通过头脑风暴有利于学生参与教学活动，进行讨论和对话活动，激活学生的知识背景。

Step 3 Discovering the useful structures

1.Find out the Past Participle, and tell what role the Past Participle play in the sentences.

(1) 动词-ed形式作______

…there were lots of matches

…saw a Christmas tree The candles were burning brightly…

(2) 动词-ed形式作______

She looked very

…and she seemed

…she had her shoes

…she wished all her matches …

…she sat in a corner with her legs …

通过叙述式和游戏式，引导学生利用过去分词形式解释所设置的文本信息，借助小组竞赛，实现生生互动、师生互动，将过去分词形式用作定语、表语、宾语补足语、状语的各种结构进行归纳。

2. Brainstorming

Work in pairs to discuss the following questions.

(1) Do you have any puzzles in using The Past Participle?

(2) Do you know the differences between The Past Participle and The Present Participle?

3. Work in pairs to tell what the differences between The Past Participle and The Present Participle.

过去分词与现在分词作宾补的区别: 二者与宾语逻辑上都是主谓关系, 但过

去分词强调他们之间的___________, 现在分词强调他们之间的_____________

(6) Seen from the top of the hill, the city looks more beautiful to us.

(7) Seeing from the top of the hill, we find the city very beautiful.

过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别：过去分词主句的主语之间是。 而现在分词与主语的主语之间是。

设计说明：

1、通过文字所描绘的语境，引导学生在运用中掌握过去分词，并共同回顾、归纳过去分词的用法，引导学生自己发现问题、分析问题、解决问题。

2、通过下列文字所描绘的情境，使学生在形象化、真实化的语境中明白过去分词和动词-ing充当定语、宾补、状语的异同。这项操练活动大大训练了学生的发散思维，又锻炼了思维能力与快速反应能力，还加深了对所学语法现象的理解。
