作为一名无私奉献的老师,就不得不需要编写教案,通过教案准备可以更好地根据具体情况对教学进程做适当的必要的调整。来参考自己需要的教案吧!以下是我收集整理的四年级英语教案,欢迎大家借鉴与参考,希望对大家有所帮助。
教材分析
本课是PEP小学英语四年级上册的第三单元B部分的第一课时,是有关朋友爱好的介绍,为本单元的第四课时.主要语言项目为表达某人喜欢什么。课文对话是通过Mike 和ChenJie 谈论各自的朋友展开的。重点学习描述爱好的词汇music,science,computer game, sports and painting,和句型He/She/My friendlikes….,本课中主要学习表达第三人称喜欢什么,因此要注意第三人称单数的问题,但不可给学生讲过多的语法知识。同时也为下一课时进一步学习相关描述朋友样貌特征和爱好的对话做铺垫。
学情分析
学生经过本单元A部分的学习,学生已初步掌握了简单介绍朋友及其特征的词汇和句型表达:He /She is ….He/She has …. ,同时学习表达介绍朋友爱好的句型:He/She/My friend likes ….A部分Let’s play 中已做过一定的铺垫,本课时教学应通过大量的口语交际练习,让学生理解并掌握该句型。

下面是美国全国阅读权利基金会制订的phonics教纲,给你作参考。我把原件发到你信箱。Phonics PrimerYou can use this Phonics Primer developed by The National Right to Read Foundation to begin teaching a child or adult to read today. This primer lists the 44 sounds in the English language and then gives steps for teaching those 44 sounds and their most common spelling patterns. In addition to learning sounds and spellings, each day the student must read lists of phonetically related words and spell these words from dictation. Phonics instruction must be reinforced by having the student read decodable text.The 44 Sounds in the English Language5 Short-Vowel Sounds18 Consonant Sounds7 Digraphsshort /ă/ in appleshort /ĕ/ in elephantshort /ĭ/ in iglooshort /ŏ/ in octopusshort /ǔ/ in umbrella/b/ in bat/k/ in cat and kite/d/ in dog/f/ in fan/g/ in goat/h/ in hat/j/ in jam/l/ in lip/m/ in map/n/ in nest/p/ in pig/r/ in rat/s/ in sun/t/ in top/v/ in van/w/ in wig/y/ in yell/z/ in zip/ch/ in chin/sh/ in shipunvoiced /th/ in thinvoiced /th/ in this/hw/ in whip */ng/ in sing/nk/ in sink* (wh is pronounced /w/ in some areas)6 Long-Vowel Sounds3 r-Controlled Vowel SoundsDiphthongs and Other Special Soundslong /ā/ in cakelong /ē/ in feetlong /ī/ in pielong /ō/ in boatlong /ū/ (yoo) in mulelong /ōō/ in flew/ur/ in fern, bird, and hurt/ar/ in park/or/ in fork/oi/ in oil and boy/ow/ in owl and ouchshort /ŏŏ/ in cook and pull/aw/ in jaw and haul/zh/ in televisionSteps for Teaching PhonicsStep 1. Gather the materials listed below and store them together in a box.Materials for Teaching PhonicsWhat You NeedSuggestionsystematic phonics programConsider Phonics Pathways (available from our online bookstore), Sing, Spell, Read, Write, or another program from Phonics Products for Home or Phonics Products for School.* phonics flashcards with the letter or letter combination (such as ou) on front and clue word (such as out) on backConsider the Individual Set of 70 Phonogram Cards (item #IPC, $10) from Spalding Education International, available at www.spalding.org. It’s helpful to also purchase the Spalding Phonogram Sounds CD (item #CD, $5.00) to learn how to pronounce each sound correctly.Note: if you purchase this set from Spalding, you will not need to purchase a separate set of alphabet flashcards.decodable stories(preferably 100% decodable)If your phonics program does not contain 100% decodable stories, consider Stories Based on Phonics, available from our online bookstore, or Bob Books First, available from supplies: index cards, index card file, black wide-tip permanent marker, beginner’s wide-ruled writing tablet, 2 pencils with erasersPurchase writing supplies at any office supply store.* Note: Make sure your phonics flashcards give the proper sound or sounds for each letter or letter combination – many widely available flashcards are incorrect or incomplete. For example, the common sound of x is /ks/ as in fox, not /z/ as in xylophone or /eks/ as in x-ray. Also, the short-vowel sound of i is /ĭ/ as in igloo, not /ī/ as in ice cream.Step 2. Teach the 5 short-vowel sounds and consonant sounds. Drill until memorized.During the first week, use the flashcards to drill the short-vowel sounds. Add several consonant sounds each day until you are drilling all short-vowel sounds and consonant sounds with your student daily. Do not rush this step. Keep drilling until all sounds are memorized, which usually takes 2-4 weeks.Tip: Work on phonics for at least 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week with your student. Frequency and consistency are more important than the length of time spent on each lesson.Short-Vowel Soundsshort /ă/ in appleshort /ĕ/ in elephantshort /ĭ/ in iglooshort /ŏ/ in octopusshort /ŭ/ in umbrellaConsonant Sounds/b/ in bat/k/ in kite/s/ in sun/k/ in cat/l/ in lip/t/ in top/d/ in dog/m/ in map/v/ in van/f/ in fan/n/ in nest/w/ in wig/g/ in goat/p/ in pig/ks/ in fox/h/ in hat/kw/ in queen/y/ in yell/j/ in jam/r/ in rat/z/ in zipStep 3. Practice two-letter blends. Drill until blending is automatic.After your student knows the short-vowel sounds and consonant sounds, next teach him how to orally blend two letters (b-a, ba) and read two-letter blends such as: ba, be, bi, bo, bu.Two-Letter Blendsb + a = bas + a = saj + a = jab + e = bes + e = sej + e = jeb + i = bis + i = sij + i = jib + o = bos + o = soj + o = job + u = bus + u = suj + u = juStep 4. Practice three-letter blends. Drill until blending is automatic.After your student can read two-letter blends, progress to three-letter blends, that is, words. Each day, have your student read a set of short-vowel words, then dictate these same words to him. (Show him how to form each letter and correct him gently, if necessary). This not only helps him remember the phonics lesson just learned, but it greatly improves spelling.Golden Rule of Phonics: Never allow your student to skip, guess, or substitute words. Accuracy is more important than speed.Three-Letter Blendsfa + t = fatki + t = kitro + d = rodde + n = denma + d = madse + t = setbo + x = boxye + s = yestu + g = tughi + d = hidno + t = notwi + n = winju + g = jugpu + n = punla + p = lapStep 5. Teach the twin-consonant endings, plurals, and two-consonant blends. Drill until blending is automatic.Twin-Consonant EndingsTwo-Consonant BlendsTwo-Consonant Blendspuffblabstun, fistsellbragswamkissclubtrotfuzzcroptwinlockdragfactfledraftPlurals:frogbulbcats (sounds like /s/)glumheldbeds (sounds like /z/)gripelfplugsulkprimfilmscathelpskip, masksiltsledjumpsmughandsnipmintspot, gaspkeptStep 6. Teach the digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh, ng, nk). A digraph consists of two consonants that form a new sound when combined. Also teach three-consonant blends.DigraphsThree-Consonant Blendschin, such, patch (silent t)scruffship, wishsplitthin, with (unvoiced /th/)strapthis (voiced /th/)thrillwhipsang, sing, song, sungsank, sink, honk, sunkStep 7. Introduce a few high-frequency words necessary to read most sentences.After your student can read three-letter and four-letter words easily, it’s time to add a few high-frequency words that are necessary to read most sentences. Some high-frequency words are phonetically regular (such as “or”), but are introduced out of sequence because of their importance. Other words are truly irregular, because they contain one or more letters that don’t follow the rules of phonics (such as “once” and “who”).The Basic High-Frequency Words table lists the most important words. Write each word on an index card. Introduce three or four new words a week. Drill your student on these words everyday, encouraging him to sound out as much of the word as possible (usually the vowel sound is the only irregular part). As your student masters each word, file the card in the card file under “Words I Know.” When your student comes across a new “wacky” word (such as “sugar” in which the “s” is pronounced /sh/), make up a new index card and file it under “Words To Learn.”Tip: What distinguishes this high-frequency word list from the typical “sight word” list? Many words in the list below cannot be completely sounded out, either because they contain one or more letters that don’t “follow the rules” or the rule is learned later. In contrast, the typical “sight word” list contains mostly phonetically regular words (such as “and” and “when”) that the student is forced to memorize simply because he has never been taught to sound them out.Basic High-Frequency WordsIntroduce after student canread short-vowel words, /th/, and /sh/Introduce after student canread long-vowel wordsA vowel by itself says its name:a, I“e” at the end of a short word says its name:be, he, me, we, she, the*“o” at the end of these words says its name:no, go, so“or” says /or/: or, fordo, to, into, of, off, put* also pronounced /thŭ/was, were, aredoing, doessaid, says, have, giveyou, your, yoursthey, their, therewhere, what, why, whoonce, one, come, somedone, nonetwo, tooStep 8. Teach the long-vowel sounds and their spellings. Note that there are five common spellings for each long-vowel sound. Also teach the “Silent-e Rule”: When a one-syllable word ends in “e” and has the pattern vce (vowel-consonant-e), the first vowel says its name and the “e” is silent.Long-Vowel SoundsCommon SpellingsLess Common Spellingslong /ā/cake, rain, pay, eight, babysteak, they, veinlong /ē/Pete, me, feet, sea, bunnykey, field, cookie, receive, pizzalong /ī/bike, hi, fly, pie, nightrye, typelong /ō/hope, go, boat, toe, snowsoul, thoughlong /ū/ & /ōō/mule, blue, boot, tuna, flewfruit, soup, through, feudStep 9. Teach the r-controlled vowel sounds and their spellings.r-Controlled Vowel SoundsCommon SpellingsLess Common Spellings/ur/fern, bird, hurtpure, dollar, worm, earth/ar/farmorange, forest/or/forkdoor, pour, roar, more, warStep 10. Teach the diphthongs /oi/ and /ow/ and their spellings. A diphthong consists of two vowels that form a new sound when combined. Also teach other special sounds.SoundCommon Spellings/oi/oil, boy/ow/owl, ouchshort /ŏŏ/cook, pull/sh/vacation, session, facial/zh/visionStep 11. Teach /aw/, /awl/, /awk/ and their spellings.SoundCommon Spellings/aw/jaw, haul, wash, squash/awl/bald, wall/awk/talkStep 12. Teach these sounds and spelling patterns.SoundCommon Spellings/s/ spelled cRule: c followed by e, i, or y sounds like /s/.cent, face, cinder, cycle/j/ spelled g, ge, dgeRule: g followed by e, i, or y usually sounds like /j/.frigid, age, fudge, gym/f/ spelled phRule: ph sounds like /f/ in words of Greek origin.phone, phonics/k/ spelled chRule: ch sounds like /k/ in words of Greek origin.chorus, Christmas/sh/ spelled chRule: ch sounds like /sh/ in words of French origin.chef, champagneNote: This Phonics Primer does not contain all English spelling patterns. Consult a good phonics program such as one from Phonics Products from Home or Phonics Products for School for additional spelling patterns and rules. Most products contain detailed instructions and practice reading selections.Step 13. After 3 to 4 months of daily phonics instruction, begin introducing decodable stories.Important: All sounds and spellings in Steps 2 - 12 should be introduced within the first 4 months of phonics instruction.After 3 to 4 months of reading lists of words and sentences, your student should be ready to read decodable stories such as Stories Based on Phonics or Bob Books First. The student should read all stories aloud, carefully and accurately. Help him sound out difficult words, as needed. Explain the meaning of all new words. Encourage him to read each story several times to gain fluency, but don’t let him memorize the story (reciting a story from memory is not reading). Model fluent reading by reading a sentence aloud with expression, then asking him to repeat what you read with the same tone of voice. Explain and demonstrate the meaning of basic punctuation (period = stop, comma = pause, exclamation point = speak with excitement, question mark = raise the pitch of your voice on the last word to ask a question.)Step 14. Begin introducing “easy-to-read” books.After the student masters decodable stories, let him move on to easy books such as those by Dr. Seuss (Hop on Pop; One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish; Ten Apples Up on Top; Green Eggs and Ham; and so on), P. D. Eastman (Are You My Mother?; Go Dog, Go!; A Fish Out of Water), and Cynthia Rylant (Henry and Mudge series; Poppleton series; Mr. Putter and Tabby series). As your student reads each book, add new wacky words to the Words To Learn file and review daily, if necessary.Continue teaching the lessons in the phonics program – don’t stop just because your student can read. Most children need 1 to 2 years of reinforcement before their phonics knowledge becomes permanent.Step 15. Continue to give phonetically based spelling lists.Even after your student has finished the phonics program, make sure to reinforce his phonics knowledge by giving phonetically based spelling lists each week at least through third grade.Revised: 6/05
