Good morning,ladies and gentlemen!I am glad to stand here to share my teaching ideas with you.Today I am going to talk about the first period in Section A of Unit 5 Why do you like pandas? My presentation is mainly consisted of five parts: analysis of the teaching material, analysis of the students,teaching aims, teaching methods and teaching procedures .Now let’s begin with the first part.

Part 1 Analysis of the teaching material

     This lesson is the first period of Unit 5. The topic of this unit is about animals. Students will learn to talk about their favorite animals.This is an interesting topic for students. So all the activities in this unit are helpful to raise the students’ learning interest. It’s helpful to cultivate the students’ ability of listening , speaking , reading and writing by talking about the animals they like.As for the grammar point,it will go on focusing on the present tense.

    Now let’s go to the next part.

Part 2 Analysis of the students

     Most students are curious about new things when they are in grade seven. They are interested in talking about animals,especially their pets.The students have already known some animals and their features through the prior study in the primary school.However,most students don’t often use English to express themselves and communicate with others.They are afraid of making mistakes in an English environment.Though some of them are not active in class,they have a strong desire to learn better.

Part 3 Teaching aims

  1.Firstly Aims of knowledge:

    In this lesson, students should learn some new words about animals such as tiger, elephant, koala, panda, lion, giraffe and the words to describe them,which include cute, lazy, smart, beautiful, scary and so on. At the same time, students should also know how to use the key sentences: like.--Let’s see the lions first. .--Why do you want to see them?   --Because they’re interesting..--Where are they from?     --They’re from china….

   2. Secondly Aims of abilities:

    After having this lesson,students should be able to use the main words to describe animals and use the main sentences to talk about their favorite animals.Meanwhile, students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing will also be developed through practicing, and both of their sense of English and ability of communication will be cultivated as well.

  3.Thirdly Aims of emotion:

    From this lesson, the students should arouse their interest in learning English,arouse their love to the animals and the nature, and learn how to work with others and help each other.

Then let’s go to the next part.

Part 4 Teaching method:

    As we all know, the main instructional aims of learning English is to cultivate students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing. So I’ll mainly use Communicative language teaching method, Audio-visual teaching method and task-based language teaching method in this lesson. That is to say, I’ll give the students some tasks and use these methods to develop the students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing.I’ll also teach the students how to be successful language learners and how to communicate with others. Let them study in real situation and communicate with each other in order to develop their interest in learning English.All in all, language is for communication and for solving problems in real situations.

Then let’s come to Part 5 Teaching procedures
