“有效课堂”之我见当下，作为一名英语教师，怎样有效地教授学生进行文章精读，已经成为一个重要的话题。
因为无论是在各种各样的考试里，还是在日常生活中，文章精读都扮演着重要的角色。
以教学实践为依托，在新课程新思想的背景下对所上的一节英语精读课教案进行了分析反思。
通过分析教学设计中存在的优点与不足，明确了今后教学应努力的方向，具有一定的现实意义和探索价值。
“有效课堂”精读教案教学设计最近一段时期，学校里如火如荼地进行了各学科“有效课堂”的展示。
随着理论学习与教学实践的深入，越来越多的人在很大程度上已经转变了过去传统的教学理念，将课堂教学是否有效定位于从教师讲解的精彩与否转变到学生参与的程度高低这一衡量标准。
现就笔者自己的一堂英语精读课谈谈对于“有效课堂”的理解与实际运用（以下为该课时教案）。

笔者利用教学资料首先选择了这样一个学生普遍比较感兴趣的话题，课前布置学生利用各种媒介自主获取有用的信息；再将自己搜集到的信息在课堂上进行汇总，与其他学生资源共享。
使得每一个学生都体会到给别人提供信息的成就感和分享别人信息的喜悦感。
