教學(xué)反思

本節(jié)課是一節(jié)閱讀課，通過(guò)一些小測(cè)試任務(wù)，讓學(xué)生從地理、歷史、文化、政治幾個(gè)方面去了解英國(guó)的形成、發(fā)展以及它的人文景觀和風(fēng)土人情，讓學(xué)生對(duì)英國(guó)有一個(gè)比較全面的了解。

根據(jù)自己對(duì)教材的分析，圍繞文章的主題，設(shè)計(jì)導(dǎo)入、快速閱讀、精讀、總結(jié)和討論幾個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)。通過(guò)自主完成和與同伴討論的方式讓學(xué)生由淺入深地去了解文章的內(nèi)容，提高學(xué)生的查找信息的能力，從而提高學(xué)生的閱讀水平，掌握一定的閱讀技巧，旨在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的推測(cè)、判斷、歸納、推理和總結(jié)的能力。但是，由于我校是四類(lèi)高中，學(xué)生的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)十分薄弱，因此所設(shè)計(jì)的任務(wù)大部分都是學(xué)生在文章中能找到的，只有極少數(shù)需要他們?nèi)フ碚Z(yǔ)言。大部分學(xué)生完成較好，參與度高，課堂氣氛活躍?？墒?，有一部分同學(xué)仍然不能完成老師所指定的任務(wù)。原因是他們的詞匯量太少，無(wú)法翻譯一些長(zhǎng)句。在以后的教育教學(xué)中，要注重?cái)U(kuò)大學(xué)生們的詞匯量，提高學(xué)生的翻譯能力，從而更好地提高學(xué)生的閱讀能力。endprint
