Instructional designName:李鑫颖Grade:Grade 8Subject:Have You Ever Been to an Amusement Park?Lesson type:Listening and Speaking Teaching time:40 minutesOverall Design and Guiding PrinciplesThis is a listening and speaking lesson which aims to develop students ability in talking about past experience. Meanwhile, students linguistic and cultural knowledge is expected to be enriched through listening and speaking activities. In this lesson I mainly employed Task-based Teaching Method, Natural Approach as well as the Communicative Language Teaching Method to create certain scene and ask students to complete relevant tasks, assist them to learn in a relaxed atmosphere and build a confidence towards listening, thus forming the habit of active learning and improving their comprehensive language competence. First of all, drawing on the Natural Approach, the lesson will start a real-life conversation to lead in the topic and showing a video clip of amusement park to arouse students curiosity. Then I will show some pictures featuring the new words (amusement park, space museum, aquarium, zoo) to impress students the key words so as to make preparation for the following listening session. In the third section, I mainly use Task-based Teaching Method by setting three tasks of extensive listening, intensive listening, as well as focused listening to assist students to fully understand the listening materials and grasp the method of talking about past experience subconsciously. With the former three sections, students will receive a large amount of input of the present perfect tense structure ”have been to ”, then in the next section I designed a memory game to train students ability of transforming input into output through speaking. Finally, I will ask students to role play and report. This section is an evaluation of students command of present perfect tense structure ”have been to ”and their ability of talking about past experience. Therefore, this section is employed as a reinforcement of students comprehensive language competence.Teaching ContextAnalysis of teaching material:This is a listening and speaking lesson. The lesson focuses on talking about past experience, aiming at letting students grasp the present perfect tense structure ”have been to ”. The topic of this unit is closely related to students real life, and in accord with students cognitive level, thus can make students learn meaningfully and build students a confidence of English learning. This lesson mainly consists of warming up, listening and speaking parts. The first warming-up part mainly is intended to teach new words with the help of video clip and vivid pictures so as to build in students mind a structure of new knowledge. Then the second listening section aims at providing students with initial input of the language structure ”have been to ”by way of listening and the linguistic expressions to talk about past experience subconsciously. Finally, the third speaking session mainly consists of memory game, role play and reporting tasks targets at improving students ability of language output, and thus realizing the goal of communicative teaching.Therefore, the three sections of this unit, abiding by the “output after input” sequential principle in teaching, progress step by step, and proceed from experience to exploration and finally to language application. All these can effectively realise the objectives of improving students comprehensive language competence.Analysis of students:The objects of this lesson are students in Grade 8. Students in this phase has already learned some tenses such as simple past tense, present progressive tense, thus they must have mastered some skills of tense-learning and fully prepared to learn the lesson cognitively. However, junior students lack the ability of systematic autonomous language learning and some students have on confidence of English learning. Therefore, it requires teachers to set up the tasks from easy to the advanced to guide them. Whats more, junior students tend to focus on image thinking because of the absence of the mature, abstract, and logical thinking, thus teachers should design various interesting, fun and relaxing activities to sustain students interests and attention.Teaching AimsAims of knowledge:(1) master and use some important words, such as: amusement park, space museum, aquarium, zoo and so on.(2) be able to use the present perfect tense structure ”have been to ”.Aims of ability:(1) be able to get correct information from listening material.(2) master some relevant listening skills including extensive listening, intensive listening as well as focused listening .(3) be capable of talking about past experience(4) be able to ask about others past experienceAims of emotion:(1) taste the happiness of communicating in English.(2) build confidence towards listening, which is generally considered
