八年级英语教学案例Unit 6 I’m more outgoing than my sister.(Section A)［设计理念］以任务为中心的任务型语言教学是目前交际教学思想中的一种新的发展形态。
它倡导“在做中学，在做中用”的教育理念，将语言应用的基本理念转化为具有实践意义的课堂教学方式。
运用学习任务组织教学，强化了语言实践的过程，充分体现了语言的交际本质。
“新目标英语”是一套好教材，然而，“橘生淮南则为橘，生于淮北则为枳”。
在英语课堂上，实施任务和开展活动具有很大的挑战性，需要在实际操作中对教材进行重新整合，并要根据学生的环境和接受能力来开展行之有效的任务和活动。
同时利用多媒体和网络技术，帮助解决教学难题。
这样，既能为学生创设真实可视的英语学习环境，也能激发学生积极参与的欲望，引起学生的共鸣和兴趣。
［教材分析］教学内容为新目标英语八年级上册第六单元Section A 。
学习内容主要体现在以下三点：1、学习有关人物特点的单词：tall, thin, short, heavy, calm, wild, long hair, short hair, outgoing, quiet, funny, serious, smart, athletic, ect.2、学习人物比较的重要句型：（1）Pedro is funnier than Paul.（2）Tina is taller than Tara.（3）Tom is more athletic than Sam.3、掌握语法点：the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives (形容词的比较级和最高级)［学生分析］1、利用多媒体课件上英语课，学生视听感受明显，表现出极大兴趣，在欣赏和享受中学习，学习效果很明显。
2、学生以前已经学过形容词的比较级和最高级，但掌握的强度不够，对单音节和多音节形容词的比较级和最高级的表达上总是出现错误。
通过对本课的学习可以巩固所学知识，掌握用正确的语言结构表达人物特点和人物比较。
［教学目标］1、谈论学生感兴趣的话题，指导学生学习有关人物特点的单词、人物比较的表达及语法知识点“形容词的比较级和最高级”。
2、学生根据班级的真实情况，采用“名人专访”、“公众投票”、“明日之星”的游戏，培养学生的想象力、自信心和合作精神。
3、通过学习本课，增强师生、生生间的相互了解和沟通。
4、培养学生的口头表达能力、阅读理解能力和写作能力。

］Step 5 PracticeTask 1: Interview famous persons（Pair work）1、Demonstrate the activity with one student. (Imagine he/she is a famous person. The teacher acts as a reporter.)eg.T: Hello, Susan. May I ask you some questions about your family?S: Yes.T: Do you have a brother or a sister?S: Yes, I have two brothers and one sister.T: Who is taller, your sister or you?S: I’m taller than my sister.T: Who is the most athletic of you?S: My oldest brother.(Show an example on the screen.)2、Ss work in pairs.
