教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)
Step One: Present the letters.（用字母卡片向?qū)W生展示，會讓學(xué)生有更為直觀的視覺效果。）
1. the letters.
Teacher: English is one of the most important languages in the world. It is widely used all over the world. It is so useful that we must try our best to learn it well. Thus, we can talk with foreigners casually. If we want to learn English, first we should learn the letters. Today we’ll try to learn the letters A to H. (Textbook Starter P2 2d)
2.Read the letters.
(students can follow the teacher to read the words aloud. They can read them using the two different intonations----a rising intonation and a falling intonation.)
3.Write the letters.（規(guī)范學(xué)生的書寫，養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。）
Teacher:English letters have two forms.They are capital letters and small letters.They are both important. You can write them after the models.(Textbook Starter P2 2d)
Step Two: Practice.
1. Listen to the tape and number the letters you hear.
The students listen to the tape and give the right answers.
2. Listen and draw lines between the letters you hear.（繪圖游戲會吸引學(xué)生的注意力，調(diào)動他
們的積極性和主動性。）
Teacher: The English letters can be made into a beautiful picture. Can you guess? Let’s listen and guess what it is.(Textbook Starter P5 3a)
3. Help the balloons find their homes.
Teacher: Look at the picture. The balloons come out of the houses. Can you help them find their houses? (Textbook Starter P5 3b)
Step Three: The abbreviations.
1. Show the pictures.（使用生活中常見的物品及圖片激發(fā)學(xué)生認(rèn)真觀察生活、體驗(yàn)生活的
熱情。）
Teacher: The English letters are not only used in the words, but also in different places in our daily life. Look at these things. Can you tell me what they mean? (Textbook Starter P2 3)
2. Have a discussion about the abbreviations.（展開小組討論，發(fā)揚(yáng)合作精神。）
Teacher: The words like these can be found easily in our life. Can you tell me something else? Now let’s have a discussion about them.
(Students are divided in groups to have a discussion.)
3. Report the result to the class.
Step Four: Make letter cards.
Encourage students to make letter cards in different groups.
Homework（鼓勵學(xué)生自已動手制作字母卡片，培養(yǎng)每個學(xué)生的參與意識和動手能力。）

Teacher: Yesterday we learned the English letters A to H. Now let’s play a game. I’ll show some words on the blackboard. Please try to spell the words as quickly as possible. Let’s see which group will be the first.
A Dale Grace Frank Thanks
E B C D E G evening F Helen
(The student in different groups spell the words one by one as quickly as they can. The group,which finishes spelling,will be the winner of the games.)
2. Listen to the tape and repeat the words.（讓學(xué)生通過聽和觀察來發(fā)現(xiàn)規(guī)律、總結(jié)規(guī)律。）
Teacher: thank you for your good job.According to the form we can find different letters can be made into different words. Do you want to know how to read them? Now let’s listen to the tape and repeat.
3. Find out the rules of the pronunciation.
Teacher: According to the tape, we can find the letters A and E play an important part in the pronunciation. They are called vowels. Now look at their forms, can you find out some rules about them?
A: We can find “A” has two pronunciations. One is the sound of the letter“A”. The other is the sound like that in the word “apple”.
B:“E” also has two pronunciations. One is [i:], and the other is [e].
T:Yes, that’s right.
Step Two: Practice.
1. Read the words.（通過發(fā)音練習(xí)加強(qiáng)學(xué)生的辨音能力。）
Teacher: Since you know the rules about the pronunciation,can you read the words below? Now you can read the words to your partners.
(Students can read the words according to the rules.)
2. Help them find their friends.（游戲簡單有趣，既可以使學(xué)生適當(dāng)放松，又可以進(jìn)一步總
規(guī)律，為學(xué)生掌握字母組合發(fā)音作鋪墊。）
Teacher: Here are some apples and mangoes.They can’t find their friends. Can you help them?
Students: Yes.
