教学设计和教学反思

本课是一节听力课，材料中的生词较多，学生对于京剧这个话题又不是很熟悉，加上本身基础又不是很好。完成练习的难度很大。

为了解决这个难题，保证学生在听力之前有足够的语言输入，同时为了提高学生对京剧这个话题的兴趣，我在课前导入时先放了一段京剧，在学生欣赏京剧片段的同时，提醒他们注意京剧的唱腔特点和演员的服装，使他们对于京剧先有一点感性的认识，然后我又提供一段材料让他们加深对京剧文化的理解。接下来设计了一个配对的练习。考查学生对 京剧角色的认识。对于听力中出现的大量生词，我用图片的形式很直观地让学生有了一个了解。接下来又设计了一个选词完成句子的练习，考查学生对生词的理解。在以上所有准备完成之后，才让学生开始听力练习，当然，在这之前，根据新教改的要求，我特地又带他们回顾了一遍他们所学习的听力策略，并要求他们在听力过程中运用听力策略。

由于准备很充分，学生能够顺利地完成本课的教学任务，我也圆满地达成了教学目标。只是后来学生反应在放映京剧唱段时若能够把曲词呈现出来会更好，因为有些学生说没有听懂曲词。还有在检查学生的课后作业时我发现，作文的难度偏大，或许我应该在让学生写这篇作文时给他们提供更多的语言支持，把必要的词汇呈现出来。或者让他们分小组讨论以后再写，最好我应该给他们一篇范文以供他们参考，这样学生可能就不会觉得这篇作文无从下手了。
