8A Unit 6 Integrated skills教学反思

太仓市实验中学 刘亚男

本次公开课选择的课时为Unit 6 Integrated skills。本节课整体思路以Daniel对Zhalong Nature Reserve感兴趣为出发点，针对出发前去Yancheng Nature Reserve和回来后展开的一系列课堂活动。课堂活动中包括了两人对话和小组讨论等，丰富了课堂内容和活动形式，以此提高课堂参与度。通过整节课的铺设架构，最终让学生了解保护湿地的重要性以及如何保护湿地。

但是此次公开课的课程设计也有需要改进的空间：

1. 本身这节课是听说课，应当给学生更多的发挥空间，不应局限于书本。

2. 针对层次较高的同学，可以另外准备相关听力材料，拓展知识面。

3. 教学板书较为单一，样式可以更加多样化、有设计感，但是同时不能忽略板书的效用性，尽量漂亮且贴合主题。

最后，希望自己能不断学习和进步，扎实上好每一节课。
