Module 4  A Social Survey-My Neighborhood

教材分析

外研社高一新课程教材第四模块这一部分内容主要是通过社会调查这个方法来使学生关注自己生活的社区及其发展，培养学生热爱家乡的意识和社会责任感。该教学模块安排有描写居家的两篇短文，介绍Xiamen的一篇文章，介绍社区的一篇听力材料，文化角部分是介绍西欧农村的阅读文章，以及围绕主题的一些口语和写作活动，学习的语法项目是现在完成时。根据新课标我设计教材内容和意图如下：让学生通过听文章和阅读文章来培养他们的听力和阅读能力，同时搭配上适当的问题，让学生有目的地去听去读，培养他们用英语获取信息和解决问题的能力，更好地理解文章内容；通过处理相关的知识点和重点词汇短语，可以帮助学生充实课文的学习；后面加上适当的讨论，巩固学习的效果并且培养学生的合作意识。以此为基础再设计安排一些语法学习和写作，培养他们的综合技能，为以后的学习作良好的铺垫。

学情分析

高一学生刚接触高中英语学习，又是新课程改革的第一批学生，他们的年龄特点等等这些都决定了他们对新事物的好奇心和强烈的求知欲，对新事物的热情是学生学习的优势。但是学生在英语基础上的差异和初高中英语要求的不同，使得学生要有时间去适应并调整，这些是学生学习英语存在的客观条件，教师要给予必要的指导和关注，才能使学生顺利地度过这个过渡时期。

根据新课程标准确立教学目标如下

1. 掌握描写社区的词汇和相关表达；

2. 学会介绍和描绘自己的家；

2. 过程与方法：通过听录音和阅读文章获取相关信息；通过观察分析教材中的句子来体现在完成时的构成和用法；教师指导和合作学习；引导学生积极地学习，主动探究；提高学生用英语去分析和解决问题的能力。

3. 情感态度价值观：培养学生的合作意识；引导学生热爱自己的社区和家乡；通过引导学    生关注社区的发展来培养他们的社会责任感。
