初中英语评课稿

这一堂课是一堂清晰实在，扎实系统，动静结合的英语课。该教师以新的课程理念为指导，充分考虑了学生这一年龄阶段的特点，在本课的教学设计和组织上注重了以下几个方面：

1、歌曲导入，充分调动起学生兴趣。良好的开头对一堂课的成功与否，起着关键的作用。本堂课一开始，教师就用歌曲‘You and Me ’导入新课，使学生的注意力在最短的时间里被激活，而且很自然的导入此堂课。

2、关注教学方法，体现了一个活字。教师的教学方法灵活，新单词呈现形式多样。应该说整堂课中，教师在引入新词时，都是比较新颖而又自然，而且具有生活化的。老师能贯彻以学生为中心的原则，关注教学过程，尽可能发挥学生的主体作用，让学生真实的去感受知识，体验知识，积极参与，努力实践，在活动中学会用语言表达交流，较好的体现了从不懂到懂，从不会到会，从不熟练到熟练的过程。本堂课的主要任务就是让学生通过综合练习，巩固新的语言知识，首先是帮助老师解决问题，然后是帮助the lonely kid 解决问题，再引申至解答学生们自己的问题。这样循序渐进的方式既可帮助学生练习之前所学的句型和词汇，又巩固本课的教学重点。

3、教学活动的设计丰富多彩。训练方式多样，有全班活动，师生互动，小组活动，个人活动等，在活动中突破难点，在活动中发展能力。教师为了巩固本课的内容，精心设计了多个活动。在英语课中，活动的设计和开展还应该有利于学生学习英语知识，发展语言技能，从而提高学生的综合

运用语言的能力。英语课堂的活动应该以语言运用为落脚点，本堂课上，老师很好的贯彻了：在用中学，学中用，学用结合，学以致用的原则。同时体现了以学生为主体，教师为主导的新课程理念。在这样的一个学习过程中，学习者处于相对自然的态势，不断的在习得和使用语言，学和用每分每秒都和谐的交织在一起。

本课中值得探讨的地方：

本堂课中，老师在布置任务前或句型操练前，未能起到很好的示范作用，导致学生操练时场面不是很热闹积极。而且操练过程中，对学生的放手太快，有时学生没有回答完整老师就说OK。没有给学生更多的表述机会。

今后，本人要在评课议课中会注意以下几点：

在评课之前，先听取开课教师对本堂课的设计思路，以便有个整体的把握。

听课中要认真观察和记录。教师要一边听，一边观察思考。既要看教，又要看学，二者兼顾。看教者对教材的钻研，是否抓基础、重点，强化技能；还有，看教法、学法的设计，教学基本功的展示。看学生的学，要看学生的课堂表现，看学习参与的情绪，学习的习惯。总而言之，要看教师主导作用和学生主体地位有机结合。
