四、设计理念
依据纽南(David Nunan)所提出的任务型及合作式教学原则,使学生在小组学习中获取信息,处理信息和运用信息,激发学生用所学语言进行交际的愿望和自信心,促进合作精神和文化意识的发展.
五、教学设计
1. 总体思路:
本节课是在多媒体的课堂教学环境下实施的大容量、快节奏的课堂教学.笔者先让学生简短描述父母以前和现在的职业,外貌,性格,爱好再欣赏英文歌曲thank you, dad. 导入,酝酿了一种感激父母的氛围,接着引导他们畅诉父母对自己的帮助的故事,然后让学生阅读短文,感受母亲爱的伟大。在阅读过程中,通过让学生看标题,预测课文内容、概括文章段落大意、根据上下文填所缺的句子,判断正误等各种方式提高阅读技能。最后,笔者提供关键词让学生复述课文,使其能熟练得掌握所学的重点词汇、短语和句子。阅读后,笔者抛出这样的问题让学生讨论:我们该用什么方式报答父母?培养学生反哺意识。最后通过写作,提高学生综合运用语言的能力。
Step1 Pre-reading
1. Get the students to describe their parents
T: Parents are the most familiar and loved person to you. Can you give a brief description of them? You can describe what they used to be like and what they are like now.

设计说明
通过谈论父母以前和现在的外貌,个性,爱好职业等既复习了本单元的语言功能项目,延续了本单元的话题,又能成功地引进本课要谈论和阅读的内容:父母的爱。
2. Play the song “thank you, dad” for the students and enjoy it with them.
Thank you, Dad
Thank you, Dad
Thank you, Dad
Thanks for loving me
Hugs and Kisses, hugs and kisses

S: Mother's day is the second Sunday of May and Father's Day is the third Sunday of June.
T: Great. These two holidays are taken for us to thank our parents. Now let's enjoy a song for Father's Day.

⑴T: Don't you think it's a beautiful song? I think so. It reminds me think of my own father. He has done so much for me. I used to be a shy person when I was a middle school student. I didn't use to dare to speak in front of class or facing a crowed of people. My father encouraged me to believe in myself. And now I'm outgoing. I'm grateful to my father, he is so patient and helpful. I'm sure your parents are the same. Would you like to share the stories you parents help you solve problems with your partner and then make notes on the context?
