二、基本情况。
这一学期,我继续担任初一(1,2)班的英语教学工作。这两个班级,每班各有学生三十五人左右,但是,基础却不尽人意。初一.1班的学生基础还可以,但是2班的基础却相差很远,学生基础参差不齐,两极分化严重,没有学习的兴趣。因此,教学工作开展的相当困难。

4、坚持日测、周测、月测的形成性评价制度:对英语学习实行量化制度,每日、每周、每月都要给学生检验自己努力成果的机会,让进步的同学体会到成就感,让落后的同学找出差距,感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围,培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。
5、对后进生进行专门辅导,布置单独的作业,让他们在小进步、小转变中体味学习的快乐,树立学习的自信,尽快成长起来。
6、关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

thing for them is to face difficulties with positive attitude.
篇16:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划
全文共 1760 字
+ 加入清单本学期,我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求,规范常规教学,提高教学质量,努力形成自己的教学特色。
一、总体思路
以努力提高教学质量为目标,以抓好教学常规工作,提高英语合格率为重点,采用任务型教学法,注重“学困生”的教育补差工作,形成良好的教学风气。
二、学生情况分析
经过一学期的学习,从上期期末成绩来看,七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确,态度端正,掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法,能够积极主动认真地学习,学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的,缺少学习的热情和主动性,自觉性较差,相应的学习习惯也差,加上两极分化十分严重。
三、教材分析
《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元,包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式,融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构,形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标,主要的功能项目与语法结构,需要掌握的基本词汇,并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容,B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分,供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。
四、教学目标
掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习,培养学生对英语的学习兴趣,形成有效的学习策略,有效提高学习效率,发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力,使学生初步获得运用英语的能力,达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界,了解不同地区的人文风俗,学会理解和尊重异国文化,并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人,能在小组活动中积极与他人合作,相互帮助,共同完成学习任务,尽情享受学习的乐趣。
五、教学措施
1、加强词汇教学,包括单词拼写、词义记忆,语言功能的训练。
词汇是文章、句子的基本单位,词汇量的大小,将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看,在今后的教学中,在加强拼读与拼写的同时,应帮助学生进行有意识记,应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解,要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力,逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句,这样,学生在学会了单词的同时,也学会了词的一些基本用法。
2、每天背诵课文中的对话,培养语感。
3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。
进行语法操练时,要坚持“四位一体”,即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题,联系语境,确定语法结构,明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用,又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。
4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。
阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时,应着力帮助学生分析语言材料,而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。
5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。
优秀生:___,___,__,___。
学困生:___,___,__,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___。
尤其对学困生进行专门辅导,布置一些作业,让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐,树立学习的自信,尽快成长起来。
6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。
师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。
7、作业布置要做到数量适中,批阅及时,对出现的问题要跟踪矫正,认真讲评,尽量面批面改。提高练习质量,要精选资料。
六、教研课题
《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》
措施:用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学,进一步改变教法和学法,培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣,提高学生的英语阅读能力,提高英语教学效果。
1、尝试通过各种形式的学习,例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动,提高学生学习英语的兴趣,从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的,并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文,取得事半功倍的效果。
2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段,以课内为基础,增加课外阅读的量,指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法,提高学生的英语自学能力。
3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体,培养学生的综合阅读技能,提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。

篇20:初中英语作文:母亲节的历史
全文共 1743 字
+ 加入清单in the u。s。 mothers day is a holiday celebrated on second sunday in may。 it is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers。 first observance in philadelphia, pa。 in 1907, it is based on suggestions by julia ward howe in 1872 and by anna jarvis in 1907。
although it wasnt celebrated in the u。s。 until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient greece。 in those days, however, it was rhea, the mother of the gods that was given honor。
later, in the 1600s, in england there was an annual observance called "mothering sunday。" it was celebrated during june, on the fourth sunday。 on mothering sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers。 it was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion。in the u。s。, in 1907 ana jarvis, from philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national mothers day。 jarvis persuaded her mothers church in grafton, west virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death, the 2nd sunday of may。 the next year mothers day was also celebrated in philadelphia。
jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day。 they were successful。 president woodrow wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd sunday of may。
many other countries of the world celebrate their own mothers day at different times throughout the year。 denmark, finland, italy, turkey, australia, and belgium celebrate mothers day on the second sunday in may, as in the u。s。
