二、簡答題(本大題20分)根據(jù)題目要求完成下列任務，用中文作答。1.

課堂提問的作用是什么?封閉性問題與開放性問題各自有何特點?正確答案：課堂提問的作用：

(1)引起學生注意。

(2)鞏固課堂教學。

(3)獲取反饋信息。

(4)加強師生之間的溝通與交流。

封閉性問題的特點：有固定答案，且答案唯一；強化鞏固課堂所學，記憶必須死記硬背的知識；在提高課堂提問的有效性方面發(fā)揮了重要作用。

開放性問題的特點：答案不是唯一的，是多種多樣的；培養(yǎng)學生的發(fā)散思維，促進學生創(chuàng)新能力的提高；創(chuàng)設一個比較寬松、自由的問題情境，學生充分發(fā)揮自己的聰明才智，通過不同角度的探索去獲取新知，鞏固原有知識。

三、教學情境分析題(本大題30分)根據(jù)題目要求完成下列任務，用中文作答。1.

下面是某教師的課堂教學片段。

T:...Now,let'smakeourownwisheswith"ifonly".Butpleasedon'tforgettogiveadescription,eventhoughit'sverybrief,ofsituation,thecontext,whereyoumakethewishwithoneortwosentencesHowaboutLiz?

Liz:IfonlyIdidn'tgoonthejourney.

T:Tomakeitbetter,youcansay"ifonlyIhadn'tgoneonthisjourney",becauseyouarealreadyontheway.Goon,please.

請根據(jù)所給材料，分析該教師的教學目的和教學過程，評價教學行為和反饋方式。正確答案：(1)分析教學目的和教學過程

教學目的：

①知識目標：學生掌握由ifonly引導的虛擬語氣的用法；

②技能目標：學生提高英語造句能力、語法運用能力以及英語表達能力；

③情感目標：學生可以正確認識自己的錯誤并且改正錯誤，養(yǎng)成良好的意志品質(zhì)。

教學過程：

該教學情境屬于語法教學中的鞏固環(huán)節(jié)。教師采用讓學生創(chuàng)設語境進行造句的方法對所學的ifonly引導的虛擬語氣的用法進行鞏固。教學過程中師生對話，既學習了語法又鍛煉了口語表達能力。

(2)評價教學行為和反饋方式

優(yōu)點：

①及時評價，幫助學生糾正語法錯誤，做到語法訓練的準確性。

②語法鞏固練習鍛煉了學生的綜合語言運用能力。

③教學素材的使用貼近學生生活。

④該語法片段屬于語法教學中的鞏固環(huán)節(jié)，因此，體現(xiàn)了語言教學的漸進性、持續(xù)性。

缺點：

①語法鞏固練習形式略顯單一枯燥。

②反饋過程缺少對學生的鼓勵，這樣會打擊學生學習的積極性。

③反饋的方式過于直接，教師總是直接指出學生的錯誤。可以采用引導的方式，讓學生自己發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的語法錯誤并進行改正，達到印象深刻的目的。

④教師沒有充分預料到學生的出錯點，做到提前糾錯。

四、教學設計題(本大題40分)根據(jù)提供的信息和語言素材設計教學方案，用英文作答。1.

設計任務：請閱讀下面學生信息和語言材料，設計一節(jié)英語讀寫課教學方案。教案沒有固定格式，但須包含下列要點：

teachingobjectives

keyanddifficultpoints

majorstepsandtimeallocation

教學時間：45分鐘

學生概況：某城鎮(zhèn)普通中學高中一年級第二學期學生，班級人數(shù)40人，多數(shù)學生已經(jīng)達到《普通高中英語課程標準(實驗)》五級水平。學生課堂參與積極性一般。
