Good morning, dear judges,
I am the candidate NO.007 applying for the primary school English teacher. My topic today is How are you? It’s my honor to present my lesson plan for you. In order to make my presentation much clearer, I will explain how to teach and why to do so from five aspects, they are analysis of teaching material and students, teaching objectives, teaching and learning methods, teaching procedures, and blackboard design. Now I will explain them one by one.
First of all, analyze the material and students. The content I am going to talk about is from New Standard English Students’ book Module 1 Unit 2 How are you? The theme of the unit is greetings. Before this lesson, students may have learned the basic greeting terms such as “hello, I am… Goodbye” from Unit 1. And it will provide foundation for the study of Unit 2, thus it can be seen, the lesson is a following study of Unit 1. Moreover, students are very curious and eager to learn English, and they are also active enough to behave themselves. However, as the English beginners, they may can’t understand teacher’s instruction quite well, so it’s the teacher’s responsibility to use more body language to help students understand the orders. English curriculum standard points out that the overall goal of English teaching is to cultivate students’ comprehensive application capability of language. Based on the above requirements and the analysis of the teaching material and students, I set the following
教学目标：
a）knowledge and skill objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to listen, say, and read the words: how, are, you, good, morning, fine, thank, and the sentences: Good morning./ How are you?/ I’m fine, thank you, and be able to use these greeting terms in daily life.
b）process and method objectives
It will develop students’ ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Besides, their cooperative learning skills will be improved when they are doing the pair work and group work.
c）Emotion, attitude and values objective
Through studying this lesson, students may have a higher interest in English study and more confidence in learning English, and they may also have a better understanding of the significance of cooperation.
Next, I will focus on the teaching and learning methods. As for this lesson, I will mainly use communicative method together with Task Based Language Teaching （TBLT） to help students understand, grasp, and apply the knowledge. Besides, games would be used to stimulate students’ learning interest.
And under my guidance, students adopt the way of perception, experience and practice to understand the content. Besides, through the way of participating and cooperating, they can improve their language practical usage capability.
Then let’s come to the most important part of my presentation, teaching procedures. And it is divided into five steps. They are Lead in, Presentation, Practice, Sum up, and Homework.
Before class, I prepare the tape recorder, word cards and the corresponding head portrait. And these tools will be explained in detail later.
Step 1 Lead in
In this part, I will say “Hello, boys and girls.” to students when the class begins. Then I will take the mask and say, “last week we have seen Sam, Amy Lingling and Daming in Unit 1. Now let’s say hello to them, ok?” In this way, I can set a greeting model for students, and the content of Unit 1 is also naturally reviewed. This step will take about 3 minutes.
Step 2 Presentation
After greetings, the foundation of this lesson, students are led into the English environment naturally. Then we start step 2 presentation. Firstly I will say: “As we can see, Daming is a good boy, and how does he greet to others? Let’s have a look.” Meanwhile, lead students to open the textbook to Page4 and look at the first Picture. Then I will lead students to do activity1 “Listen, Point and Say”。 And students can perceive the knowledge initially by doing that. After finishing the “Listen, Point and Say”， I will show students the word card “Good morning.” and lead students learn the term by guide reading, follow reading and so on. Next divide students into groups, 2 students a group and practice it. Finally invite 3 or 4 groups to present the dialogue before class. This activity can improve students’ speaking and performing ability. And lead students to learn the picture 2 “How are you? I am fine, thank you”。 Picture 2 is the key and difficult point of this class, thus this part should take more time than other parts. Step 2 will probably take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3 Practice.
After presentation is step 3 practice. In this part, students will practice what they have learnt in the class. I will ask them to finish these activities:
Activity 1: Play voice game on Page5 . By playing the game in different ways, I lead students to blend the knowledge of Unit2 into a true life circumstance naturally and harmoniously.
Activity 2: Do activity 3 on Page 4. Doing this task aims at helping students integrate all the key points of Module 1 and forming a integral effect.
This step will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4 Sum up
Now step 4. In this step, I will ask students to talk about what they have got in this lesson and then I make proper supplements. And listen and follow the chant on Page 5. What’s more, I would tell them that the importance of being polite in daily life. This step will take about 5 or 6 minutes.
Step 5 Homework
The time spent on the steps above is all stated at the end of every part. Of course, it can be modulated according to real operation.
Finally it’s my blackboard design. I will write some key terms on the blackboard, such as “Good morning.” “How are you? I am fine. Thank you.” In this way, the students can know the important point in this class and remember them easily.
I also want to make a simple conclusion for my presentation. The teaching in this class conforms the principle of linking theory with reality and proceeding in an order way and step by step, and also following the rule of stepping from the easiness to difficulties in the language learning. I think I can lead students to reach the anticipating target and completing the task of this class.
That is all of my presentation. Thanks for your listening.
