3、教學反思： 

本節課是以閱讀為載體的語法教學。在本課的教學過程中，避免了孤立的、單純的講練語法，而是把語法內容放到具體的語言環境中，從多個維度探索語法規律。整個教學過程按照學生的認知規律，由感性到理性，由探究到應用，由口頭至書面，環環相扣，步步落實。首先，采用了發現式和歸納法教學，讓學生通過觀察、發現、歸納和運用的教學模式逐步掌握語法知識及構式，較好的完成了教學目標。其次，采用小游戲、聽英文歌等學生喜聞樂見的形式，選擇貼近學生學習生活的閱讀材料，這些手段都使得本節課更趨形象化，趣味化，激發了學生學習的熱情。此外，讓學生運用所學語法知識談論自己的學校生活，學以致用，真正實現了通過語言環境提升學生運用語法能力的目的。但是，在今后的語法教學中，怎樣堅持在語境中教授語法，而且讓不同英語水平的學生都能積極地參與到課堂活動中來，并能做到學以致用，使語法教學不再枯燥，將是我今后語法教學的研究課題及方向。
