專家點評
這是一節(jié)真實、自然、生動、有趣的英語課。該課教學(xué)目的明確，教學(xué)過程有序，教學(xué)活動設(shè)計合理，教學(xué)各環(huán)節(jié)過渡自然，學(xué)生思維活躍。這節(jié)課在組織和設(shè)計上主要有以下特點：
1． 注重學(xué)生的主體地位，實現(xiàn)了老師角色的轉(zhuǎn)變。老師從學(xué)生的興趣出發(fā)，通過創(chuàng)設(shè)情景，示范教學(xué)內(nèi)容，啟發(fā)學(xué)生的思維，組織學(xué)生實踐，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語言交際能力。老師在整個教學(xué)活動中成功地扮演了多個角色。首先，他是一個示范者，他為學(xué)生展示語言結(jié)構(gòu)、意義和語言運用的情景；同時他又是一個啟發(fā)者，啟發(fā)學(xué)生思考，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生想象；其次，他還是一個情景的設(shè)計者和學(xué)習(xí)的指導(dǎo)者，他通過多媒體課件展現(xiàn)生動、逼真的交際情景，幫助和引導(dǎo)學(xué)生在語境中理解語言的結(jié)構(gòu)和意義；此外，他更是一名課堂活動的組織者、學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的激勵者和促進者，他通過玩具小電話、身體語言設(shè)計情景，組織學(xué)生開展游戲和兩人小組活動，給學(xué)生提供模仿、體驗、實踐和創(chuàng)造性運用語言的機會，并在活動中適時地鼓勵和表揚學(xué)生，保護學(xué)生的自信心和學(xué)習(xí)的積極性，使學(xué)生學(xué)有所獲。
2． 注重把語言結(jié)構(gòu)和語言功能有機結(jié)合，實現(xiàn)了從知識到能力的轉(zhuǎn)變。本課教學(xué)內(nèi)容涉及關(guān)于打電話的表達方式，老師能夠注意處理好結(jié)構(gòu)與功能的關(guān)系，將語言結(jié)構(gòu)的學(xué)習(xí)融于模擬的交際情景之中。教師在教學(xué)的設(shè)計上采用分解難點、分步呈現(xiàn)、逐步擴展、層層深入的方式，注重示范質(zhì)量，保證學(xué)生對語言意義的正確理解，通過各種模仿和操練活動，使學(xué)生掌握新的語言形式。
3． 注重教學(xué)內(nèi)容與學(xué)生的生活經(jīng)驗相結(jié)合，實現(xiàn)了學(xué)以致用的教學(xué)目標(biāo)。老師通過創(chuàng)設(shè)情景，將學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容與學(xué)生的實際生活相結(jié)合，使學(xué)生身臨其境，從而達到了學(xué)以致用的目的。例如，他在給學(xué)生打電話之前，先用英語了解學(xué)生家的電話號碼，然后撥號給該學(xué)生打電話，讓學(xué)生感到真實和親切。同時他設(shè)置了三個情景：約同學(xué)踢足球，約同學(xué)看望老師，約同學(xué)參加生日晚會，也都反映了學(xué)生的實際生活。
4． 追求語音、語調(diào)自然，教態(tài)親切、大方，風(fēng)格友善和幽默也是教學(xué)成功的重要因素。當(dāng)然，本節(jié)課還有改進的余地，例如，當(dāng)學(xué)生兩人小組活動中，老師對學(xué)生角色的描述不夠明確，使得學(xué)生對話中的一些語言顯得不夠得體。
