本节公开课教学反思

首先谈一下我准备这节课的思路。本课是一节阅读课。在仔细研究和分析了课文内容后，我发现这篇课文分成三篇小文章，以二战为背景，诺曼底登陆为线索，三篇文章内容各不相同，但却有内在的联系。因此我在备课过程中，针对三篇文章内容的特点，设计了不同的方法。
    第一篇着眼于二战和诺曼底登陆的整体介绍，由于内容比较简单，因此我设计了听力的形式，理解练习也针对二战和诺曼底登陆的梗概入手，并配上介绍作战计划的地图，以便使学生对这一军事行动有整体的印象。
    第二篇短文，着眼于战斗中的一个片断，属于细节描写，我就选用了课文中的练习，让学生从细节入手，把握短文，同时，为了让学生对战争的残酷有一个更直观的印象，我剪辑了电影“拯救大兵瑞恩”的开头，它描写的正是诺曼底登陆中奥马哈海滩的部分，生动地再现了当时作战的景象。
    第三篇是关于诺曼底登陆 60 周年纪念的内容，除了通过练习理解了短文的内容之外，主要通过文中提到的那首诗的处理来挖掘出同学们的情感世界，有助于深化本课的主题。经过一层层的铺垫，引出本课的主题 --- 建立稳定和谐的世界
    然后谈一下这节课的设计理念。我认为第六模块有这样几个特点： 1 .信息量大 2 . 跨学科的特点很明显 3. 人文特色很浓。结合新课标的要求和理念，我在这节课的准备和实施中，力求体现以下几种新课标的理念
   第一，采用学生自主探究和合作学习的模式，引导学生主动学习，鼓励他们通过体验、实践、讨论、合作和探究等方式，发展听、说、读、写的综合语言技能。锻炼他们用英语获取信息、处理信息和传达信息的能力。主要做法是：针对本课文章背景丰富，涵盖的信息量大，跨学科的内容多这些特点，提前几天在班中布置探究学习任务，学生可根据兴趣爱好自愿组合。我在认真研究教材后，选取所需的内容让学生去搜集，调查。根据三段文章的内容，我布置了三个题目，二战、诺曼底登陆和反法西斯六十周年纪念，以便更好的为课堂服务，又不脱离主题。学生在准备的过程中可以利用各种学习资源完成这一学习任务，可以自由发挥但必须为主题服务，这也要求学生在准备之前，有必要对课文进行预习，把握好课文的主题 .
    第二，体现多元化的教学活动类型。
    探究活动。将学生分成小组，运用英语完成一个具体的任务。比如，本课中三组学生分别完成的二战、诺曼底登陆和反法西斯胜利的介绍。
    合作学习活动。本课中学生分组选择某一专题， 并针对该专题收集图片和信息，采用展览的形势向全班同学汇报展出。
    即兴发言与讨论。本课中提出 What can we learn from the passage? 这一问题，引导学生即兴发表个人的见解或意见。
    第四，有意识的培养学生的情感态度。本课的人文色彩很浓，抓住本课话题的这一特点，通过多种课堂活动，形成祖国意识、拓展国际视野，培养正确的世界观。比如：通过大量二战信息的呈现，了解和熟悉历史；通过电影片断的欣赏，再现战争的残酷；通过诗歌鉴赏，体会世界人民痛恨战争、渴望和平的美好愿望。
    由于准备的比较仓促，教学中的很多环节会有疏漏和不合理的地方，希望各位老师批评指正。
