公开课反思

本节课是8A第六单元的第二课时Reading 1，课型是阅读课，整体内容难度适中，鼓励学生通过本课学习，及时运用所学的相关词汇，对于扎龙自然保护区及保护湿地与鹤的相关话题，进行阅读和讨论，进而提高环境保护意识。由于本节课关于自然环境与鸟类的保护，容易被学生理解，学生比较感兴趣，所以文本解读比较透彻，整体完成度较高，教学环节推进很顺利。

听课的老教师们对我的这节课进行了点评，使我受益匪浅，我不仅获得了不少的经验以及教学方法，而且还了解到了自己的不足之处。现反思如下：

1.本课词汇量很大，接近30个，所以在阅读前对新词汇的复习很有必要，本节课我把这一环节放在Pre-reading部分，让学生先复习单词，再进行阅读，但是只复习了部分单词，可以设置更全面的单词复习。

2. 师生互动、生生互动方面整体做的不错，但师生互动方面我觉得在评价反馈环节可以再进行改进，今后还要注重引导学生和学生对话，从而真正的学以致用。
