教学反思

首先要感谢我们十五中的教研组长胡巧云老师，八年级备课组长叶冬初老师，陈丽智老师，还有很多其他学校及本校老师的帮助与指点。因为有你们的帮助和指点，才能有这节课的精彩设计。这节课是大家集体智慧的结晶。教学设计非常的精彩。

对于自身课堂教学的思考有以下几点：第一，对于学生的学情和课堂的预设不够，没有深入分析学生的实际情况和课堂中所会出现的问题，或者学生知识输出过程中出现的新词，应该马上进行处理。在课堂教学中学生说出赤道。我应该将新词做出说明，英语读音是什么？Equator。及时增加学生的词汇量。并对学生进行评价。第二，对学生的把控太严，学生的输出量不够，就进入下一环节。由于自己限于教学设计太深，有种思想就是要将学生控制在自己的可控范围之内，所以没有将学生的思维真正的发散出来，学生的思想没有得到发展和展现。第三，时间的把握分配没有做好规划，对于整堂课，我没有做好全面的规划，其实要抓住课堂的轻重环节，再将时间进行调配。重要的环节我就要花多点时间，让学生将他们的思想进行多方面的呈现。如果从整堂课考虑，如果环节太多，明知道一节课上不完的，就要大胆砍掉不必要的环节，抓住有必要的环节，并有时间对学生进行思维的培养，思想的发散，这样的课堂才会精彩。如果胡子眉毛一把抓就没有重点可言。每个环节就是走个过场，没有多余时间让他们进行思考，就不可取。在第三个环节细节题中，有一个发散性的问题，问：When is the best time to visit the US? Any time you like.为什么是any time you like呢？这个问题也可以让学生们进行大量的想法输出。在第四个环节中问：作者为什么用这样的顺序介绍这些地址？这是一个深入的问题，我也没有让学生进行精彩的呈现，就结束了这一环节。有些不足。对于最后的环节：给Betty提出一些建议，到哪些城市旅游？该带什么？天气怎样？由于时间关系，也只能呈现一组，而且还是拖堂。所以对于课堂的时间把握还要注意。第四，板书设计太过随意。板书设计是对整堂课重要知识点的呈现，是非常重要的。我就随意的写了几个单词because, so, but。所以在以后的课堂设计中我也要注重板书的设计。第五，对于阅读教材的处理还要多思考，阅读课的教学应该抓住的重点是什么，阅读课要注重培养学生思维的品质，让学生们能进行深入的思考，思想的输出。而不仅仅是教授知识。更多的是教会学生阅读的技能，方法，策略。以及对学生思维的提升。阅读课教会的是学生的阅读能力，并能在离开教师的指导后，也能具备阅读的能力，思考的能力，解决问题的能力。

针对自身所存在的不足，我要多专研教材，教师用书，教学大纲，多向学校优秀的前辈和老师学习。在今后的教学中我要不断反思，不断探讨，不断专研新的问题。学习之路漫长，但我有一颗学习之心，进取之心，永不放弃之心。我希望自己在学习之路上不断前行。希望学校的各位同仁能多多指出我的不足。
