《Unit1 The population of China is about 1.37billion.》说课稿

Good morning/afternoon, my dear judges. I’m No. 7. It is my great honor to talk about my teaching ideas. My presentation consists of the following aspects.

Part 1 Analysis of teaching material.

The topic is Module9 Unit1 The population of China is about 1.37billion. It is mainly about growing population.

There are three teaching objectives.

Knowledge objectives:

(1) Students can master the words and phrases: million, billion, large, increase, get smaller, be born and so on.

(2) Students can know how to talk about population.

Ability objectives:

(1) Students can use the key words and phrases to make new sentences.

(2) Students’ listening and speaking abilities will be improved.

Emotional objectives:

Students care about the population problems.

The key points and difficult points are to improve students’ listening and speaking abilities and lead them to acquire how to talk about populations.

Part 2 Analysis of students.

Students in grade 8 have learned English for several years, so they have got some basic skills of studying English. However , their listening and speaking abilities still need to be developed. Thus the teacher should provide them more chances to learn by themselves.

As for teaching methods and study methods, I will mainly use Task-based Teaching Method and Communicative Approach to arouse their motivation to learn by themselves, pair work and group work.

Now, let’s come to the most important part: teaching procedures.

Step 1 Lead-in.

After greetings, I will show students a picture in exercise1. Students work in pairs to talk about the picture by using the words in the box.

The purpose of doing this is to arouse students’ interest and make an easy and relaxing atmosphere to study.

Step 2 Pre-listening

I will show them two pictures of Beijing ,Chongqing, and ask them these questions: What’s the population of Beijing? What’s the population of Chongqing? Then let them listen to exercise2 to check the answers. By this, they can train their predicting ability and lay a good foundation for the next study.

Step 3 While-listening

Activity one: listen and read.

Students listen to the tape for two times. They have to complete the notes in exercise3 and read it again to finish exercise4. Meanwhile I will write down the mind map and teach them new words and phrases like “million, billion, large population, get smaller”, after that, I will ask them to make new sentences to ensure they have acquired them.

Activity two: listen and repeat.

Students listen and repeat the dialogue and pay more attention to the numbers in exercise5.

These two activities are to improve their listening ability and practice their oral English.

Step 4 Post-listening

Students need to role-play the conversations in exercise 3. Then they have to work in groups to discuss the questions in exercise6 and tell their answers to the whole class..

The purpose is to arouse their interest and involve the whole class. Also, their critical thinking and autonomous learning ability can be developed.

Step 5 Summary and homework

In the end, I will invite some students to make a summary. If necessary, I will give them some complements. And tell them to care about the population problems and try to solve them.

For homework, students have to write a short graph of the population problems in their hometown.

Lastly, my blackboard design to you. As you can see, it is very clear and logical. Students can easily master what they have learned today.

OK, that’s all for my presentation. Thank you for your listening.
