【教学方法】
1．“任务型”教学的设计理念。
2．英语教学和情感教育的有机结合 。
3．利用现代教育技术，拓宽学生学习学习和运用英语的渠道。
【设计构想】
英语作为基础教育课程之一，历来备受重视。面对新形式及新的时代要求，更应该以培养创新精神和实践能力为重点，强调新课程要促进每一位学生个体的身心发展，培养并促进学生良好品德的行成，从而使学生们能更好的适应日新月异的社会和时代。然而，我们学生的英语能力相对比较薄弱，底子不够雄厚，学英语的态度也不够重视，导致整体的英语水平不高。因此，我们教师应切实提高学生的基础知识和基本技能，尤其是英语交际能力, 并且在此基础上扩充学生学英语的知识面，鼓励学生在课外进行大量的英语阅读，首当其冲的就是要引起学生对学英语的兴趣。为了这样的最终目的，教师的备课，钻研教材，教师的教学设计就显得举足轻重。
