9月11日下午，我校初中高端英语项目开展了主题为“如何打造高效课堂”的教研活动，初中教务处副主任张丽君主持本次活动，初中高端英语项目所有中教和外籍教师共同参加研讨。

本次活动旨在共同探讨如何开展常规教学中一个至关重要的环节----备课。外教Miss. Emily以初中高端英语项目的各种课型为切入点、从方法策略到具体的实例支撑，让大家多维度地思考备好一堂课的要素，科学化、规范化地对备课做细致分解。

“一堂优质课涵盖的要素有哪些呢？”带着这样的思考，Miss. Emily引导老师们重新认识了lesson planning。一堂课需要我们关注的因素很多，比如课堂氛围、学习者分析、教学目标、教学重难点、教学任务及教学环节、教材内容分析和课堂管理等。

Miss. Emily让所有的老师思考怎样写好教案，核心为两个要素----教学目标及教学环节。此外，还有其他不应忽视的环节，如背景信息（其中又包括学生分析，教材分析以及总体目标）、语言分析、教学环节的设计（包括教学活动及目标，预计时间等）。她用自己的一份教案为例，给大家做了一个很好的示范，从她的教案中我们看到了她备课的用心和严谨。

之后，她用写作课（非正式书信）为例，和在座教师探讨如何精准定义教学目标。她通过介绍背景知识，以阅读课为依托，分析教学步骤的设计，探讨如何通过教学活动的建构让学生一步步达成阅读的设定目标，让学生在欢乐的氛围中运用、体验和感知英语，通过有趣的活动形式帮助学生有效地学习知识。

除此以外，Miss. Emily还举出小说阅读的教学案例，与大家分享了她通过教学活动的设计来帮助学生习得并灵活运用词汇——用形容词去修饰小说中的每一个人物角色。她给学生设定了场景，介绍了人物角色之间的关系以及故事情节，让学生以创造新的场景、添加图片、撰写角色日记或采访小说中的人物角色、撰写书评等形式去更深刻地了解每一个角色并对其进行描述和评价。最后，大家还一同探讨了如何有效地设计课堂学案和课后作业，让学生更好地运用并理解所学的知识。

在教研过程中，教师们本着精益求精的宗旨，各抒己见，踊跃发言，积极参与体验，本次活动对提升初中高端英语项目组内教师的专业素养和教学基本功，促进专业自我发展的内驱力有着重要的意义。“工欲善其事必先利其器”，相信经过这次教研后，各位老师结合自己的实际情况，采纳别人的意见，一定能以最佳的状态，为学生们展现出优质精彩的课堂！

中外教培训后感想

@Adam Every Thursday both the foreign and Chinese teachers get together and workshop different ideas to make our classes better. This week it was the lovely Emily’s turn to lead and she taught us all about different ways of planning our class. She talked about things we should consider when we are creating class like the objectives and level of your students. She taught us ways to engage our students during class, including different types of activities and exercises. Of all the things we did, one thing stuck out the most and it was that we, the teachers, are here to serve our students in whatever way they need. 

@ Cora This workshop refreshed my ideas on teaching planning. I got a lot of sparking things from both Chinese teachers and foreign teachers which would help my lesson planning a lot in the future. Also I knew how to prepare different types of lesson from different aspects, like atmosphere, learner, aims… I enjoy participating every Thursday’s workshop.

@ Lily  I enjoyed this workshop a lot. Emily always gives us brilliant ideas on teaching and she is also a very excellent teacher. From this workshop I could see she spends a lot of time on considering how to provide students an efficient and effective class. She showed us different cases for discussing between CTs and FTs which made me learn a lot from other teachers and She prepared us a lot of after reading materials to learn more. Good job! Emily!
