Unit 7 Know our world

Lesson 37 Let's Learn Geography!

一．教材分析：

本单元围绕地理和语言这一话题展开教学。课本从詹妮、丹尼和布莱恩的对话开始,介绍了世界上一些国家的情况,要求学生了解介绍世界上各个国家的人文、地理、语言和人口,学生学会如何介绍世界各地的情况。学生在学习与地理和语言相关内容的同时进一步扩展了有关世界各地地理、语言、人口和风俗的生词、短语和日常用语。学会如何介绍世界,了解世界,学习现在完成时态和被动语态的用法。当然,除了学习知识,还要培养学生的创新能力,争取全面发展。第37课，通过对话了解介绍自己去过的地方。

二．学情分析：

八年级的学生已经初步具备了听说读写的能力，但水平两级分化仍不容忽视，尤其是学生口语、书面表达相对薄弱，因此在教学活动的设计上要尽量考虑不同层次学生的能力水平，多给与鼓励，增强其自信心。

三．教学目标：

1.掌握单词:population,abroad,Japan,Japanese,island,Pacific;短语:one day,can’t wait to do sth

2.了解介绍自己去过的地方:

Yes. Jenny and I have been to China twice. He has been to every continent except Antarctica.

3.了解如何询问对方去过的地方。

4.通过听力训练,两人合作角色扮演的方式及小组合作交流的方式进行教学,通过实物或图片提供的场景练习目标语言,提高英语听说能力。

5.初步了解现在完成时态的用法。

四．教学重难点：

1.正确使用本课的有关地理和语言的单词:geography,continent

2.运用所学知识介绍自己去过的地方:Yes.Jenny and I have been to China twice.He has been to every continent except Antarctica.

五．教学辅助：Multi-media, Study list
