What are you doing for vacation?(Listening part)

Good morning/afternoon, everyone! I’m number---- I'm very glad to stand here to interpret my lesson. Today, my topic is What are you doing for vacation My lesson consists of 8 aspects, they are the analysis o the teaching material, the analysis of the students, the analysis of the teaching aims, the analysis of the key and difficult points, the analysis of teaching and study method, the analysis of the teaching procedures, the analysis of the blackboard design.

Ⅰ. Analysis of the teaching material

Firstly, let’s come to the analysis of the teaching material. This lesson is a new unit. The topic of this unit is about vacation plans. It is from the PEP English book of junior high school, the first semester of grade 8, Unit 3. Students will learn some new words and some sentences pattern which can be used to express their future plans with others in their daily life.

Ⅱ. Analysis of the students

After analysis of teaching material, please allow me to talk about my students. My students are in grade 8. They have learnt English for many years, so they have get some basic skills of learning English. However, their listening and speaking abilities still need to be improved. So the teacher should provide them with more chances to practice listening and speaking.

Ⅲ. Analysis of the teaching aims

The next part is the analysis of teaching aims. I set three aims according to the New Curriculum Standard in English.

The first one is knowledge aims:

Students can know some new words such as hiking, far away, postcard, and master the sentences pattern“ What are you doing for vacation? When are you going? How long are you staying?”

The second one is ability aim:

Students can talk about their future plans in English freely, and their listening and speaking abilities can be improved.

The last one is emotional aims:

Through group work, students’ cooperative consciousness; Trough vacation, their enthusiasm for the local culture can be deepened.

Ⅳ. Analysis of the key and difficult points

By the analysis above, I set my key and difficult points as follows:

The key points: Learn to talk about future plans and master the target words and sentences pattern.

The difficult points: How to express their future plans using the sentences pattern flexibly.

Ⅴ. Analysis of teaching and study methods

The following part is the analysis of teaching and study methods. I will use Multi-media teaching method, Situational teaching method and Task based teaching method during my class.

Ⅵ. Analysis of the teaching procedures

Now, let’s come to the most important part of my lesson, teaching procedures. This lesson is divided into 5 steps, they are greeting and lead in, pre-listening, while-listening, post-listening, summary and homework.

Step 1 Greeting and lead in

After greeting the students, I lead in the new lesson by a question. I will do like this: “Hello, everyone, I’m very glad to see you again. What are you doing now?” They will answer: “ We are having an English class now.” I keep on asking: “ Tomorrow is Saturday, so what are you doing tomorrow?” They answer: “ We are staying at home.” Then I lead them to my new class: “ So what about your vacation? What are you doing for vacation?” This time, they may have different answers like : I am going to swimming/go shopping……

Through asking and answering, my class atmosphere will be warmed and I can move to the new lesson naturally.

Step 2 Pre-listening

Then it comes to the pre-listening, in this stage, I will show the target conversation in book, tell students the conversation is about Toney and Lin Hui’s vacation plans, and ask them to predict what Toney and Lin Hui are doing for their vacation. They may answer: “Maybe they are going to travel” When I ask where they think Toney and Lin Hui are going for travel, they may have different answers such as Beijing, Japan or any other places.

Through this step, students can have a preliminary understanding on the listening material, and can also arouse their interests in next step.

Step 3 While-listening

In this step, firstly, I will play the record, make students listen and complete the following table, and ask some student to the blackboard and write down the answer he hears. The table is like this:

Secondly, I ask students to listen to the tape again, and check the answers: Toney is going to Hong Kong and he is staying there for 4 days; Lin Hui is going to Tibet, and he is going to hiking there. And then, I will explain the new words: hiking; postcard; far away. Lead students to read after me

Thirdly, I play the tape for the third time, this time, ask students to read after the tape and pay more attention to the pronunciation and do the imitation.

Through listening to the tape for three times, students can understanding the meaning of this listening material better. Also, they can master the target language: “ be going to……” firmly.

Step 4 Post-listening

In this section, I will organize a pair work, make students work with their partner, write a short conversation about their own vacation plans, and then invite some groups to share their performance.

The purpose of this activity is to improve students’ speaking ability. Through writing and performing their conversation, they will understand the usage of the basic structure “ be going to……”

Step 5 Summary and homework

At the end of my class, I make a summary and present the homework.

Summary: Ask students to think about what we have learned today, and then make a summary.

Homework: Make a survey on the future plans of your friends, at least 4 people. And do a oral report in the next class. Please use the sentences we learned today in your report.

My homework could give them more chances to speak English. Therefore, it can not only consolidate the knowledge in this class, but can also promote their relations with their friends.

Ⅶ. Analysis of the blackboard Design

In order to make my key points in this lesson clear, I will design my blackboard as follows:
