一、教材分析
本课时的中心话题是“transportation”,它与学生的日常生活紧密联系在一起的，因为生活中离不开“行”，因此本课时就是学习描述人们日常出行方式，学习一般现在时。The first period:听说为主，感受语言，通过听和看图来确定或描述人物的出行方式，重点掌握和熟练应用 How do you get to school? How does he get to school? 及其答语等句型。在教学中,突出交际性,将语法教学融入平常的交际活动中,让学生通过参与课堂活动来学习、归纳以及巩固一般现在时这一语法功能；注重启发性,并进行情感策略的调整,以形成积极的学习态度,促进学生语言运用能力的提高.

教学感悟与反思
本节课词汇较多，但由于词汇均涉及学生的生活实际，而且在课堂中，我采用图文并貌，突出真实性，同时，我在教学中采用了任务型教学，设计了有层次和一定梯度且有启发性的问题，让他们在富有情趣的交际中愉快地主动地接受信息、加工信息、交流信息，而且和谐、融洽的课堂气氛，有利于激发他们的学习兴趣，在有兴趣的前提下是他们的想象力得到了充分发挥，他们把学习变成了自己主动、渴望的一种行为。因此本课的教学目标在愉悦的课堂气氛中得到落实和巩固。
