公开课反思

本节课是8B第八单元的第2课时Reading 1，课型是阅读课，整体内容不难，鼓励学生通过本课对瑞士的环保措施的学习，及时运用所学的相关词汇，对于环境保护的相关话题，进行讨论和展示。我利用group work 和pair work让学生能够活跃起来。小组交流和探讨让学生有话可说，也让每个学生有事情可做。应用小组活动提高课堂效率，从而提高教学质量。根据学生的实际情况，适当的增加教学难度，调整教学内容，使这节课更加具有趣味性、有效性，培养学生的主动性。在本课的最后，我也加入了德育渗透。德育渗透是要求学生学会从日常小事进行环境保护，积极参与环保项目与活动，因为保护地球保护环境也是在保护我们自己。

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. 导入部分，问题设置过于简单，学生均已掌握良好，这时应该对于该节课进行深入挖掘以及对学生的听说有再进一步的提升，所以当时刚上课时，学生回答问题缺乏主动性，课堂气氛不够活跃。今后，应多注意这方面的问题，设置问题应层次明确、由浅入深，设置需要一定思考的问题，从而调动学生思考，提高学生的课堂参与度。

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。设置场景，让学生融入情景，从而真正的学以致用。
