A teaching plan speech              for Section A of Unit 3

Good morning, everyone.

My name is ***. I’m from *** Middle School of ***. Now I’ll talk about how to teach Section A of Unit 3 in Go For It for the students of Grade Eight. I’ll say it in four parts.

PartⅠ. Analysis of the Teaching Material

   1. Status and Function

       The topic of this unit is about vacation plans. This is an interesting topic for students. So all the activities in this unit are helpful to raise students’ learning interest. I’ll finish this section in two periods. This lesson, I’ll teach Part 1, Part 2 and Grammar Focus. Next class, I’ll teach Part 3 and do some exercises. In Part 1, all the activities introduce the key vocabulary and the target language. These activities can help students learn how to make vacation plans. In Part 2, all activities can give students listening, speaking and writing practice. These activities can help students improve their integrating skills. Grammar Focus shows all the target language in this unit. It gives the students a whole image of the target language. The target language is the basic for Ss to learn the other contents of this unit. So it’s very important to learn this lesson well.

   2. Analysis of the students

        The students have learnt English for more than one year. They know some English, but some of them didn’t learn it well. Especially, most of them are afraid to speak English. For this lesson, the students have known the pattern “be doing”. Half of them can use “be” correctly. Half of them can change a verb to “verb+ing” correctly. But they don’t know to use the pattern “be doing” as future. And this is what I teach in this lesson.

3. Teaching Aims and Demands

      The teaching aims and demands are established according to Junior School English syllabus' provision and the teaching material.

       (1) Knowledge Object

          In this unit students learn to talk about future plans.

          Key vocabulary: camping, visiting grandmother, spending time with friends, babysitting, relaxing, at home, visiting cousins, going to sports camp, going to the beach, on Friday, on the 11th, this weekend.

          Target language: What are you doing for vacation?

                       I’m spending time with my friends.

                       When are you going?

                       I’m going next week.

                       Who are you going with?

                       I’m going with my parents.

          Grammar: Present progressive as future

        (2) Ability Object

            To train the students’ ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

To train students ability of making future plans.

        (3) Moral Object

          You can’t work efficiently if you don’t have a good rest.

          Making a good vacation plan can make your trip happy.

4. Teaching Importance

    To master the key vocabulary

   To understand and use the target language

To master the usage of the different forms of “be” in the target language

    Oral practice

5. Teaching Difficulties

    What are you doing for vacation?

    I’m visiting my grandmother.

       To enable the students to understand that they are the sentence patterns to talk about the future activities

    To enable the students to use the target language

    The students learned the phrase “be doing” and they knew it means some active is happening. So it’s difficult and important to let them understand it can also be used to talk about the future activities.  

6. Teaching Aids

    Multi-media computer, Tape recorder, Software: PowerPoint or Author ware, school

things and so on. They will be needed in this lesson.

Part Ⅱ. The Teaching Methods

   1. Communicative teaching method

2. Audio-visual teaching method

3. “Task-based” teaching method

As we all know: the main instructional aims of learning English in the Middle School is to cultivate students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and their good sense of the English language. So in this lesson I’ll mainly use “Communicative” teaching method, “Audio-visual” teaching method and “Task-based” teaching method. That is to say, I’ll let the Ss to get a better understanding of the target language. I’ll give the Ss some tasks and arrange six kinds of activities: watching CAI, writing some activities, listening, make conversations, listening practice and group activities.
