12月3日　下午，溧阳市文化小学的多媒体教室内，关于小学英语单元整体教学研究的活动正有条不紊的进行着，钱荷琴老师带领着青英汇成员以及09、10年新分配教师来此观摩学习。这次活动是由文化小学的彭琴仙老师、胡兰老师和钱超老师分别上　5A　 Unit 9 Shapes 的第一、二、三课时，展示单元整体教学的必要性与优势。他们不同的教学设计却遵循着同一个主旨，三节课环环相扣，紧密联系，于细微中显别致。　　

自然地交谈，轻松的氛围，彭琴仙老师在与学生的互动中轻巧的引入shape的教学。整节课以shapes为主线，围绕shapes around us展开，以What shape is the …? Is the …a…? Can you show me/us how to draw a …? 等问题为A部分的课文作铺垫。语言不应该被肢解，彭琴仙老师深刻地明白这一点，她带领学生进行课文的整体感知，强调语篇的连贯输出和整体教学，并注重培养学生连贯的“说话”。同时，她也充分给予了学生听说读的机会，跟读录音、模仿语音语调、由泛听到精听、泛读到精读的层层深入，让学生的口语更洋味化的同时，培养学生积极思维的习惯。　　

万花筒里的世界总是那么的色彩斑斓，引得孩子们纷纷驻足留恋，胡兰老师的课亦如此。丰富多彩的图片，神奇变幻的剪纸，出人意料的物品形状以及节奏欢快的chant，都让大家在轻松的氛围中不知不觉的学习着。她从复习A部分的课文入手，以旧引新变为焕然一新的小对话，并由此深入对话学习，着重于所学知识的活学活用。在扎实的第一课时学习的基础上，胡兰老师这节课更侧重于学生的创新精神和合作意识的培养，比如在最后的Dream time这一环节，四人一组合作，用图形来设计场景图，学生以丰富的想象力，漂亮娴熟的语言，自由的阐述着自己的设计。　　

单元的整体性教学在钱超老师的课上也得到了充分的体现。他由复习第二课时的作业--设计图画入手，通过学生谈论自己所画图片，对所学内容进行了系统的梳理。这节课中，钱超老师编排了七个任务将E、F、G&H部分的内容有机的串联起来，且每完成一个任务，学生都可以得到一个star，这种奖励的形式贯穿课堂，刺激学生主动学习的欲望。这七个任务由易到难、逐层深入，在内容丰富、形式多样化的听说读写的基础上，适当的延伸和拓展，使得学生在趣味学习的同时，也提升了自己英语学习的能力。　　

三位教师从不同的侧重点将这一单元有机的整合起来，为大家展现了英语单元整体的教学。　　

活动最后，钱荷琴老师和溧阳的教研员老师对这三位教师都给予了肯定，并提出英语单元整体教学的重要性和必要性。我们英语教师应用心研究教材、活用教材，在教学活动中贯彻单元整体教学的思想，让学生学的轻松学的有法。另外，两位教研员老师一致认为，无论公开课或是常态课，实用性最为重要。　　

活动虽已结束，但大家对于自己课堂整体教学的思考仍在延续中……

To get a high stage on the entire teaching pattern　　

------Reflections on three lessons in Liyang ,2010.12.3　　

On the 3^rd of December ,with emotion to the English lessons ,our Jintan YEC went to Liyang for three great lessons from 　　Wenhua　 　Primary School　　 . it’s really our great pleasure for us to get too much skills and teaching culture from those who taught and cared for the lessons.　　

The Research Project of this time is entire teaching pattern . In fact , I got this idea a lttle bit clear from HAPPY ENGLISH on Wednesday this week , coz someone attended "Primary School English Education Seminar”, (I don’t know that name was, maybe ). The entire teaching pattern ,in my view , it is just like Chinese teaching which firstly maybe to have a junior idea of the material ,and then divided the teaching content into several parts to learn some more details ,after that ,the Ss need to probe some deep things in the article and expand their information to talk about .　　

The three lessons are of 5A Unit9 Shapes which is very hard to creat a new idea for this unit . the three lessons were taught from part A to part E,F,G&H. there are three lessons and also three periods of this unit .　　

The first lesson was given by Miss Peng Qinxian(part A). She designed three parts in her class, they are pre-reading ,while-reading and post-reading. In pre-reading. Miss Peng let ss talk about the picture of a house ,thus to teach the shapes from the house ,and master the pattern strill ‘what shape is it ? It’s …’ ‘circle ’was the last one , Miss Peng easily put the phrase‘show s.b. how to do sth.’. During while-reading, Miss Peng went forward one by one,from basic skills to harder tasks ,and the most important is her learning tips for ss which explains how to do in a certain step,from underlining to remember the first letter of the word when do the filling in the blanks. that’s the shining place in this reading class. 　　

The second lesson(PartB,C&D) was from Miss Hu Lan who was very energetic. Her class seemed like to go with swing, step by step. From dividing and making ,she taught the shapes on the book, and then draw a picture on the blackboard and learn the words of shapes of ‘oval,heart,etc,’from then the students come to the blackboard and show the others how to draw a picture with the shapes and at the same time learn ‘show us how to …’ I think the most funny thing in Miss Hu’s lesson is the strange items with special shapes ,T just gives a part of the item, then ss must guess by words? No! By dialougues!! Ah …　　

The third lesson was the left of this unit. We were really tired at that time ,but we tried our best to get much good methods from them. This man is very gentle during all this class. He gives ss several tasks to finish ,the winners then get stars.this class connect art and English tightly . through drawing ,they learned, That’s OK .But if the teacher can be more active,it’ll be better.
