Part 1Analysis of the teaching material(教材分析)

  1.Teaching content

This unit is aiming at talking about money. Today’s lesson is a reading lesson, which lets the students know how to use their pocket money in a meaningful way.

According to the new standard curriculum, I think my teaching objectives are as follows:

1) Knowledge and skills

l  Learn to use the new words .

l  Understand the text fully and complete the tasks.

l  Practice speaking ability through discussion..

2) Emotion and attitude

Develop awareness of the fact that the students’ pocket money may have much effect.Therefore,they should know how to use their money in a useful way and they can do many things to protect our environment in their daily life.And help students keep their interested in learning English.

  To achieve the three dimensional goals, I just put forward the following things as the key points and special difficulties in this lesson.

Teaching Key Points:

l   Learn to catch the detailed information through careful reading.

Teaching Difficult Points:

l  To make students realize the importance of their 5 yuan.

l  To let students give their ideas that how to protect environment in daily life.

Part 2 Teaching approaches（教学方法）

l  Communicative Language Teaching Method

l  Task-based Teaching Method.

 I choose these methods because The New Curriculum Reform requires us to cultivate the students’ interest of learning English, improve their ability of language using and build up their confidence of studying English. At the same time, we need to encourage the students to learn independently and cooperatively.
