一 学习者分析

四年级的学生经过了一年多的英语学习，对英语的好奇心和兴趣开始逐步从起步时的会读会说几个单词向会说会用的阶段转变。大部分学生对英语有着浓厚的兴趣，渴望获得更多的知识，本课在继续培养学生学习兴趣和听说能力的同时，采用符合学生心理特点的教学方法和教学手段，坚持听说领先，有计划地培养学生的读写能力，特别对于个别学习上有困难的学生，教师要耐心采取积极鼓励的方法，创设生动活泼的课堂气氛，一调动他们的学习积极性。        

二 学习内容分析

本单元中，Li Ming和他的英语老师Miss Zhang介绍一些关于时间和描述天气状况的词汇。本课是整个单元中的第一课，重点学习十二个月份单词和日期的写法，学生在第三册书中已经接触过，因此学生并不陌生，但是由于这些单词都比较长，难记忆，我设计了chant、游戏等活动让学生通过操练掌握12个月份单词，让学生在玩中学，乐中记。
