Feedback课后反思:

通过此次赛课,本人现将个人亮点以及反思总结如下。

1. 亮点。

通过这次赛课,我有认真仔细地再学习和研究一遍最新的“生命课堂”精神要点,并在自己的课堂中特别融入和强调了“自学—交流—实践—评价”的四步学习流程。有留给学生较为充足的自学(阅读资料)、交流(运用阅读话题进行口语交际)以及实践展示(拓展阅读话题联系到生活、商业实践)时间。

我非常喜欢这次赛课中让学生自己上黑板写下“疑问”以及“喜爱的词句”的部分。因为以前的自己会更多地下意识地选择带读精讲这些语言点,但这样一来学生的“主体地位”就被大大削弱了。

另外,我还喜欢自己在问题设置时,对于学生批判性思维表达空间的尊重。即便我们讨论了很久伦敦的美、伦敦的好,但如果学生依然觉得对于这座城市感觉一般,或者依然最喜欢的部分却是这座城市里的“某个监狱”,我也仍能给予幽默地鼓励。包括最后的“奖项设置环节”,除了以往最常见的“最佳表现奖”,也尝试性地加入了许多其它特点的奖项名称,来为学生营造安全、受鼓励的学习环境。

总体来说,我觉得自己这节课的结构很明晰;学生和老师都比较富于激情;同时多媒体的使用到位,例如色彩鲜明的图片、底蕴浓厚的视频、紧跟时代的网址介绍等,这些都为多元化的学生个体提供了适合他们的、最能激起他们兴趣的学习资源。

2. 反思。

在课型定位上较为模糊。这也是我自己在对比完同组杨浩林老师的课后得出的结论。领到上课材料的是典型的阅读课材料,我在处理上可能有些大胆,只给了20分钟在这篇资料的阅读上,并且对于相关语言点和词汇进行了弱化处理,并没有强调学生阅读能力的提升,而将更多时间和重点放在了口语交际和实际案列展示上。

对课堂的突发状况提前掌握不多,比如在从PPT转换到相关视频和网站时,未能提前预见到电脑的位置在教室之外,而导致老师短暂离开教室去播放视频的现象。
