外语教学要着眼于培养学生语言综合运用能力，要有一定的特色和风格，教师通过特色教学和教学艺术来激发学生良好的学习兴趣，使他们热情、亲切地投入到语言学习的实践活动中去，亲身体验语言的美。

一、创新情境，激发思维，促进学生心智发展

课例：九年级（上册）Unit2 I used to be afraid of the dark

1a. Fill in the chart below with words to describe people

Appearance（外表） Personality（性格）

线索： tall，outgoing，straight hair，funny

创设情景1： What were you like five years ago?What did you wear? Where did you go to school? Who taught you?How about her /him?

记忆的闸门一打开，孩子们的情感立刻奔放出来。

S1: Five years ago I was short and thin.

S2: Five years ago I liked to wear red skirt .

S3: Five years ago I went to primary school.

S4: Five years ago Mrs Wang taught me,and she weared a pair of glasses. 说到此，老师用学生说的 “like to do sth”引出新知识“used to do sth”。

创设情景2：used to do sth（过去常常）

T:I used to get up at five in the morning.（教师给出一个范例）

S1:I used to get up late , So I went school late . The teacher wasn't very happy. (大家哄堂大笑)

T: But now，You get up early. You don not go to school late. You are good student.(大家鼓掌)

S2: My mother used to have curly hair. But now she has straight hair. Very verybeautiful.

……

在这一环节输出了大量的语言材料，学生们各抒己见，眼里闪烁着智慧的火花，回忆起了5年前他们什么样子，在哪上学，谁教他们，教者什么样，和现在形成了鲜明的对比。而且这种思维人人都有，由点到面，得到了启发，学生的心智得到了发展。在新知识点“used to be”的引领下，孩子们分层次地练习了这一结构，教师也顺势进行了知识的升华：“I used to get up early in the morning. But now I am used to getting up early, and you ？”学生们的兴趣又一次被激发出来。

S1：I used to eat junk food. But now I am used to eating healthy food.

S2：I used to be angry. But now I am used to being friendly.

T: And you like to help others.

这一环节是一种有广度也有深度的教学，从不同角度促进了学生的心智发展，同时也使知识和技能得到了很好的结合。

二、就地取材，挖掘内涵，提高学生人文素养

课例：九年级（上册） Unit 2.

2c： play work

I used to be really quiet.I know now, you are outgoing.

在这一环节上，我把我们班上最近同学的表现，由点到面结合同学进行点评。

T: Zhang Hui used to be late. But now he is getting up early.

T: Wang Lei used to have fight. But now he is more friendly than before.

T: Linda used to be angry and quiet and liked to cry. But now she is getting to being friendly.

通过这些语言材料的输出，就地取材，深挖了内涵，对他们现在的表现给予了表扬，指出他们过去的不足，与学生的情感进一点拉近了。

课例：九年级上 Unit 2.

2b：listen again and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.

听力材料（略）

我对我班李言同学进行两次语言材料的输出。
