Revision Module A
I. Design Ideology
1. This period is designed for students to use sensory verbs and present perfect tense
correctly in real-life situations after revising the language items in Module A. The
whole lesson is task-based.
2. Revision Module A is designed according to the following principles:
1) Make learning more efficient by sharing, discussing with group mates and
competing among groups.
2) Arouse SS’ inspiration to learn English by a clip of a cartoon video, a short poem,
blank-filling and real-life communication in class.
3) Find out SS’ shortages in Module A by asking SS to do some tasks before the class.
Try to solve the difficulties in class.
II. Analysis of the Teaching Material
The teaching material is from Book 4 of NSE. It plays an important role in Book 4
because of the sensory verbs in Module 1 and present perfect tense from Module 2 to
Module 4. Module 5 is an integrated application of simple present tense, simple past
tense and present perfect tense.
Because of the limited time and a relatively large number of exercises in Module A,
some exercise are used for the assessment of the SS’ learning, others are integrated
into the class. The teaching material is close to daily life, so it’s helpful to raise SS’
learning interests and it will also be helpful to improve their writing.
This lesson is a mid-term revision. Students will review what they have learnt in the
previous five modules. They will know how to use the sensory verbs and present
perfect tense correctly. Meanwhile, they can distinguish the simple past tense from the
present perfect tense, use the correct tense to describe the pictures and talk about
hobbies and their favorite cartoons.
III. Analysis of the Students
In the previous classes, SS have learned about the sensory verbs, present perfect tense,
simple past tense and simple present tense. And they have a great interest in talking
about hobbies and cartoons. It won’t be so difficult for them to get involved in the
class. SS will be the real masters in class while the teacher will be a guide. Every task
is student-oriented.

教学反思
亮点:
1.主线清晰,遵循任务型教学法,根据本节课的重难点,从词—句—
篇章,由易到难,层层铺垫,环环相扣,通过形式多样的活动对语言
知识进行操练。
2.注重语言知识在实际交际中的运用,让枯燥的语法知识在课堂中活
起来。本节虽然是大模块复习课,但并没有拘泥于习题训练,而是通
过听、说、读等形式,让学生活用语言知识,学会用英语做事,让知
识来源于生活,回归生活,并为生活服务。
3.内容基于教材,但并不拘泥于教材。由于一节课的时间有限,本人
把 Revision Module A 部分的内容进行了整合与改编以便更好地提高
复习的效率。比如:课本 1,2,3,4,6 的内容改编成了课前导学案,作为
学生的评估练习并服务于课堂教学。同时,本人根据学生的课前导学
案完成情况发现他们存在的问题并据此进行教学设计。另外,本人把
5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 的内容进行了合理的改编后运用于课堂教学,
培养学生在实际交际中运用语言的能力。
4.个人学习与小组合作学习相结合,以学生为主体,以学定教,充分
发挥学生的自主学习和合作学习,关注学生的兴趣和特点,据此设计
贴近学生生活的语言活动,比如看卡通视频复习感官动词,灵活运用
一般现在时,一般过去时与现在完成时谈论经历,与同伴交流个人爱
好,小组讨论最喜爱的卡通片等等,让全体学生都有所学,有所得。
5.在传授知识的同时,注重对学生自主、合作学习策略的指导和渗透。
比如通过课前独立完成导学案,之后与同伴分享交流,互帮互助;课
堂上既让学生独立思考,又设计小组活动让所有组员积极参与教学活
动。
困惑:
如何使大模块复习课教学更有趣,更高效,形式更多样化?
