Teaching Aims 1.To get the students to appreciating remarks on friendship or friends.2.To enable the students to write a short story about friends or friendships.Teaching Procedures Step 1 Discussion Now, I found 500 pounds in Roy’s pocket.Did Roy steal the money from the charity? Someone says ‘yes’, someone says ‘no’.If Roy did steal the money from the charity, shall I tell the teacher or call the police? If Roy didn’t steal the money, what should I do?

Discuss it in groups of four.Collect answers from students.Draw a conclusion;whether Roy stole the money or not, we help him all the same.Because we’re friends.Friends are the ones we can get help from and we can trust.In this unit, we have talked a lot about friends and friendship, knowing the importance of friends.And what do you think of a friend or friendship? How to keep friendship?List good qualities and bad qualities a friend may have.Suggested answers: Good qualities:

outgoing hospitable considerate enthusiastic friendly kind polite honest loyal brave positive optimistic smart intelligent modest generous determined responsible mature

Thats true, indeed friends are willing to help you all the time.When you are down ,friends raise you up with their hearts.When you lose your way, friends guide you and pull you to the right way.When you have sorrow to complain of, friends are always the best ears for you.So please cherish your friends, because everyone of them is unique and precious.Getting along with friends is just like growing plants.We must use patience, trust, and honesty as fertilizer to make friendship stonger.And never forget ,plants need sunshine, so do friends.Often give them some warm and you will find your hearts are getting closer.Friendship stands on both sides , so the more you give and the more you will get.Remember, the key is your sincere heart.Step 3 Promotion and Homework 1)Assign another writing task based on the following information: What do you think of a friend or friendship?

I think it is like you planting a big tree.You should choose good seeds and take care of it to make it grow.Almost the same thoughts between each other is on base.Maybe fight also will happen.How to do? To make real friend, you don't be shy to explain your thoughts to the other.Try your best to keep friendship forever.It is necessary to tell the truth and respect each other.教学实施过程：

针对学生这样的实际情况，并受任务型教学法启示“任务型教学理论实际上就是建立在讨论或交流教学思路的基础上的,是交流教学思路的一种发展形态,英语教学要以学生为中心,教师要为学生设计运用语言的环境,通过大量的交流活动总结和掌握语言的规律,并在交流活动中实践,从而达到目的.”我对每模块后的书面表达内容的教学作了调整，这样处理：即把写作课变成讨论和写作并存的活动课，并在活动课中备有相关的多媒体内容或音乐，使学生在真切愉快的情景中搜集写作素材，完成写作内容，最后达到激发学生写作兴趣，提高写作技能并促进其他几种技能的效果。具体教学过程如下：

第一步，确定题目后，教师启发学生思考，回忆写作中所需要的相关词汇，必要时通过多媒体展示相关内容，然后教师在黑板上进行总结或借助多媒体把关键词语呈现给学生.例如外研版教材Book6 Module3 Interpersonal relationship___ Friendship,该模块的写作任务讲述朋友之间所产生的矛盾问题，并提出建议如何保持友谊：Describing a problem you had with a friend and giving advice on how to keep friends教师可先展示一些有关友谊或本班同学相处的图片、幻灯片、音乐等,以激发学生的学习兴趣。然后教师可引导学生说说自己的好朋友，尽可能用到本模块所学过的词汇：close, trust, chat, be on good terms, get on very well, keep in touch, get to know, personal matters, be similar to, considerate, warmhearted, honest, 等等。

第二步，分组讨论（均匀分配不同程度的学生），要求学生围绕写作话题借助有关词汇，人人动口，积极思维:1.Who is your good friend? 2.How do you become good friends? 3.Have you ever quarreled with each other? 4.What’s the problem? 5.Have you made up? 6.What should you do to keep your friendship? 等, 并让学生各抒己见,提供出不同的词语句型，如1.I’ve known him/her for...2.We first met six years ago...I remember meeting him/her for the first time 3.We have much in common.4.I not only...but also...5.I suggest that...6.Why not...? 7.Can’t we...? 8.What about...? 9.Friendship is both...and...10.If we..., we can...等也可提供一些有关友谊的名言警句如：On friends and friendship: A true friend is one soul in two bodies.(---Aristotle)A friend in need is a friend indeed.(---Ray)Be slow in choosing a friend;slower in changing.(---Benjamin Franklin)A friend is a present which you give yourself.(---Robert Louis Stevenson)Fate chooses your relatives, you choose your friends.(---Abbe Jacques Deille)A faithful friend is the medicine of life.(---William Shakespeare)The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.(---William Blake)We choose our friend by instinct, but we keep them by judgment.(---Alfred Capus)Friendship is love without his wings.(---George Gordon Byron)True friendship is a plant of slow growth.(---George Washington)同时教师提醒学生在讨论中尽量使用正确的时态、语态并用英语交流。这一步也是学生英文写作收集写作素材的过程。教师可参考与到各个组中，帮助学生解决疑难问题，并根据不同的写作内容和各小组的实际水平适当给他们提供一些新的词汇，同时鼓励那些平时不善于言谈的学生开口交流和帮助基础较差的学生。通过不断的教学实践，我发现：在这种活动或情景之下，学生无拘无束，大胆热烈讨论，加之教师的指导，写作的素材自然获得不少。最后每组选一位代表执笔完成书面表达，并在时间允许内在全班朗读；

第三步，教师进行总结归纳： Friendship is a kind of human relations.It is a human instinct to make friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys..Long live friendship!同时再次强调写作中所需的时态、语态和学生写作过程中容易犯的错误等关键问题。而后要求学生课后完成各自的写作内容并上交作业。

第四步，作文评价是个意义重大的环节，可采用以下评价机制，包括学生自评→学生互评→教师评价→全班反馈→范文共赏五个环节。

学生参与情况：

运用这种教学方式，我所教的班级学生普遍反映：这种讨论和写作的方式更适合他们，因为气氛活跃，让人觉得轻松，通过小组的讨论、互相帮助和老师的指引，较容易搜集到写作素材,而且参考小组素材再结合自己的观点，就更容易下手写作了。每个小组都能写出较为优秀的文章，而且，学生完成作业情况非常好，能充分运用课上所讲的相关词汇和表达方式，有些同学的文章写得相当好，可以作为范文展示学习。总而言之，这种写作教学法既激发了学生的写作兴趣，又提高了他们的口语表达能力，同时还培养了他们的群体合作精神，而且也达到了师生互动交流。

第五篇：高中英语写作课反思

写作课反思

每周一次的作文课，我分为两个部分，上次作文的讲评，本次作文的讲解。

就所教班级的学生水平，他们能去写作文，但质量不高，语法错误很多。就这种情况，在作文的讲评这一环节，我将学生典型错误句子打印出来，以改错题的形式让学生改错，自己所犯的错自己第二次去改正，很多学生还是能发现，这样，一方面练习了改错能力，也进一步巩固了所学的知识。

英语写作中普遍存在的问题

1.中式英语

学生用英语写作时经常受汉语思维影响把汉语中一些词汇或表达方式直接套用到英语中去，于是就产生了我们经常说的所谓“Chinglish”。有些学生已经有了比较好的立意和表达意向，而且也拥有进行表达所需的词汇量､语法和句法知识，然而一写作文就捉襟见肘､错误百出。原因何在?主要是由于对英语的句子结构以动词为中心，同时各有特定的搭配把握不牢固。很多学生在写作时经常缺乏表达思想的语感，运用能力较差，无法确切把握在某种情境下该用什么词､该怎么使用，因而经常有汉英词对词生硬翻译的现象。

2.词汇方面 |

写作测试学生英语单词的再现能力，在考试中学生单词基础不扎实的问题很轻易暴露出来。有的学生反映说很多单词很熟悉，但不知为什么写作文时就是想不起来或者用错地方或者拼写不正确。这也反映出学生记单词过程的误区。

二､改进英语写作教与学的策略

1.注重培养学生的英语思维方式

思维方式制约着语言的表达习惯。思维是写作活动的基础，写作不仅是语言活动，而且是思维活动。不同民族的社会环境和文化特征必然会形成不同的思维模式，思维模式的差异正是造成语言差异的重要原因。正如语言大师吕叔湘先生在《中国人学英语》(修订本)中谈道的:“我相信，对于中国学生最有用的帮助是让他熟悉英语和汉语的差别……让他通过比较得到更深刻的领会。”由于学生在写作时所进行的推理大多是由母语承担的，由于受汉文化思维惯性的影响和干扰，轻易在英语表达上产生负迁移现象。消除负迁移的要害在于把握英语思维方式。因此，我们在教学中应有意识地结合教授内容引导学生发现､比较英汉思维模式的差异，培养学生洞察文化差异的自觉意识，帮助学生容忍､顺应这些差异，使其逐步养成用英语思维的习惯，最终达到正确､规范､恰当地用英语传递语言信息的目的。

2.注重培养学生的英语语法的运用能力

任何语言都有自己特有的表达方式，英语也不例外。我们学习英语，就是要学习其特有的表达方式。有名语言学家吕叔湘先生说过:英语就是英语，汉语就是汉语。他是告诫中国学生要分清英语和汉语的表达方式，不要把二者混同起来。近年来，虽然高考英语测试加大了主观题的比例，但是从测试结果来分析，写作仍然是学生最薄弱的环节。究其原因，英语语法知识在写作表达中的运用是大部分学生的主要问题。传统的英语教学往往只注重理论条条框框的灌输，语言信息的输入主要靠讲解语法，教学组织围绕着应试而进行，学生为了学语法而学语法，为了考试而学语法。习得的语法信息大部分是领会式语法，其结果是，假如做纯粹的语法题，他们大部分能做对，但是在自己的实际写作中这种语法错误经常出现。例如:

你从哪来?Where are you come from?

我父亲经常钓鱼。My father often go to fish.我想他不会来了。I think he won＇ t come.每人必须做好自己的工作。Everybody should do good self work.另外汉语中的一些习惯搭配，比如:“虽然……但是……”；“因为……所以……”;“既然……就……”等，在句子中不能被拆散使用。英语在词的搭配方面有其自身特点。英文中两者只能用一个，例如用了because(因为)就不能用so(所以);用了although(尽管)就不能用but(但是);汉语中条件句一般放在主句前边，而英语则在主句之后等。但是中国学生在英语写作中经常出现类似的错误。

这些在高考作文中经常出现的语法错误足以说明，学生的语法概念并不清楚，最起码是在实际运用中不清楚。所以，在教学中教师应有意识地注重培养学生在实际写作中有关语法方面的应用能力。

3.注重扩大学生的表达式词汇量

语言的最基本要素之一是词汇，要表达自己的思想必须要有足够的词汇量。众所周知，英语词汇分领会式词汇和表达式(复用式)词汇。领会式词汇是指熟悉但是在讲话和写作时不常用的词汇，表达式词汇是指人们在讲话和写作时实际运用的词汇。由于中学生的表达式词汇量小，而且其用法把握的不好，因而严重地制约了写作。所以，在教学过程中，教师应注重引导学生挖掘教材中的表达式词汇，使其尽可能多地扩大和把握表达式词汇。

4.注重提高学生的阅读质量

现代语言学理论告诉我们:英语技能的提高离不开语言输入和知识积累，而阅读正是学生获得语言输入的主要途径，离开了阅读的写作只能是无源之水。相信“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”这句话谁也不生疏。它展示了阅读与写作之间的一个由量变到质变的关系问题。“破”有两层含义:一是要达到一定的量;二是对阅读的材料要通透。目前的阅读教学中，大部分的学生只是满足于对所阅读材料的理解而已，其阅读的终极目标就是理解，很少有学生主动､有意识地从阅读中汲取可用于写作的营养。其结果是阅读与写作脱节，学生不能从阅读中受益而提高写作能力。因此，英语教师应注重引导和培养学生向着:阅读—理解—欣赏—借鉴，这样一个科学阅读的过程发展。例如，阅读时，教师要引导学生体会作者表达思想的方法以及遣词造句的技巧。另外，要有意识的练习学生养成记笔记的习惯，把碰到的好的用词､表达方式､句型等记下来，时常翻看，就可以把短期记忆转化为长期记忆，写作时就能自然用上。从而达到汲取阅读中的精华来丰富自己的写作能力的目的。

5.注重练习学生多练笔，多修改

由语言的输入到语言的输出需要实践，而且是大量的写作实践。写作实践可以是多种多样的，可以模拟､复述､写摘要，也可以创造性的写些段落､文章等。另外，必须强调修改的重要性。许多大家都认为好的文章是改出来的。由于许多学生不肯在修改上付出劳动，也有的学生错误地认为修改是老师的事。其实，不善于自己动手修改文章，写作能力是难以提高的。自写自改，自己动脑动手，久而久之，便能摸到写作的门道，写出像样的英语作文。
