Unit 3 My School-Section A（Pronunciation）
This section focuses on the pronunciation part of Unit 3 My School in the new People's Education Press (2024) English textbook for Grade 7. It mainly includes two key aspects: vowel sounds and the stress of multi - syllable words. Regarding vowel sounds, students will learn two pairs of back vowels, namely / / and / /, /u / and / /. These four vowel sounds are all rounded vowels, and students need to pay attention to the differences in their pronunciation lengths, positions, and manners. For multi - syllable words, students will learn about the common stress patterns, such as the first syllable being stressed, the second syllable being stressed, etc. This knowledge will help students improve their pronunciation accuracy and fluency in reading English words and texts related to the school theme.
教学目标 Students can master the pronunciation rules of letter combinations (such as oo, ch, sh) in words, accurately pronounce words like school, teacher, fish, etc., and improve their speech recognition and reading fluency. Be able to correctly distinguish and pronounce two pairs of vowel sounds / /, / /, /u /, / /, and be familiar with the common vowel letters or letter combinations corresponding to these vowel sounds. Identify and accurately read the stress of multi - syllable words, and be able to read relevant words in the school context correctly according to the stress rules.
教学重难点 1. Key Points The pronunciation rules of letter combinations ch (/t /, like chair), sh (/ /, like shirt), oo (/ / and /u /) and the pronunciation of example words. The pronunciation of two pairs of vowel sounds / /, / /, /u /, / /, and being able to distinguish and read words containing these vowel sounds correctly. The common stress patterns of multi - syllable words, and being able to accurately identify and read the stressed syllables of relevant words. 2. Difficult Points Distinguish the pronunciation of oo in different words (such as book vs. moon), and avoid confusing the pronunciation of ch with Chinese "q". Through listening and discrimination exercises, strengthen muscle memory. Master the subtle differences in the pronunciation of / / and / /, /u / and / /, and be able to accurately use these vowel sounds in words. Correctly apply the stress rules of multi - syllable words in actual reading, especially for words with irregular stress patterns.
Letter Combinations
ch: pronounced as /t /. Words: chair /t e (r)/, teacher / ti t (r)/, China / t a n /.
sh: pronounced as / /. Such as shirt / t/, fish /f /, English / ɡl /.
oo: can be pronounced as / / (in most short - form words like good, book) or /u / (in some long - form words like food, room).
Stress of Multi - syllable Words
The first syllable is stressed, and the other syllables are unstressed. For example, classroom / klɑ sru m/, library / la br ri/.
The second syllable is stressed, and the other syllables are unstressed. For instance, today /t de /, about / ba t/.
教学过程
1. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual and then play a short English song related to school, such as "School Days". While playing the song, show some pictures of different school scenes on the PPT, including classrooms, libraries, playgrounds, etc. After the song, ask students some simple questions, like "What can you see in the pictures " "Do you like your school " to arouse their interest in the topic of this unit - My School.
2. Presentation (12 minutes)
Vowel Sounds
Write the four vowel symbols / /, / /, /u /, / / on the blackboard. First, pronounce each vowel sound slowly and clearly for several times, and at the same time, show the correct mouth shapes and tongue positions through exaggerated demonstrations. Let students watch carefully and imitate.
Then, write some example words under each vowel symbol, such as for / /: sport, door, horse; for / /: box, hot, not; for /u /: juice, ruler, zoo; for / /: cook, foot, put. Read these words one by one, emphasizing the pronunciation of the target vowel sounds. Let students repeat after the teacher several times.
Explain the differences in pronunciation characteristics between each pair of vowel sounds. For example, for / / and / /, / / is a long vowel with a more rounded and smaller lip - opening, while / / is a short vowel with a larger lip - opening. Let students feel the differences by comparing and repeating.
Letter Combinations
Write the letter combinations "ch", "sh", "oo" on the blackboard. Pronounce words with these letter combinations, like chair, shirt, book. Let students listen carefully and try to find out the common pronunciation rules of these letter combinations.
Explain the pronunciation rules in detail. For "ch", it is pronounced as /t /, and for "sh", it is pronounced as / /. For "oo", it usually has two pronunciations, / / in short - form words and /u / in some long - form words. Give more examples for each case and let students practice reading.
Stress of Multi - syllable Words
Write some multi - syllable words on the blackboard, such as classroom, library, today, about. First, read these words with correct stress, and then mark the stressed syllables with a stress mark ( ).
Explain the two common stress patterns for multi - syllable words: the first syllable is stressed, and the second syllable is stressed. Give more examples for each pattern, and let students practice reading these words, paying attention to the stress.
3. Practice (18 minutes)
Vowel Sounds Practice
Activity 1: "Listen and Circle". Play a recording that contains a series of words with the four vowel sounds learned. In each group of words, there are two words with different vowel sounds. For example, / / - sport, / / - hot. Students need to listen carefully and circle the word they hear. After playing the recording, check the answers with the whole class.
Activity 2: "Read and Classify". Give students a handout with a list of words, such as dog, food, book, door, box, zoo, etc. Students need to read these words and classify them into four groups according to the vowel sounds / /, / /, /u /, / /. Then, ask several students to come to the blackboard and write the classified words in the corresponding columns. Check and correct the answers.
Letter Combinations Practice
Activity 3: "Missing Letter Game". Write some words on the blackboard with the key letter combinations missing, for example, c_air, sh_t, b_ _k. Students need to fill in the missing letters according to the pronunciation rules they have learned. Then, read the completed words together to check.
Activity 4: "Pronunciation Relay". Divide the class into several groups. The first student in each group says a word with "ch", "sh", or "oo". The next student in the group needs to say another word with the same letter combination. If a student can't say a word within 5 seconds, the group loses a point. The group with the most words at the end wins.
Stress of Multi - syllable Words Practice
Activity 5: "Stress Marking". Give students a worksheet with some multi - syllable words. Students need to mark the stressed syllables of these words according to the rules. After they finish, check the answers in pairs first, and then the teacher checks the answers with the whole class.
Activity 6: "Read Aloud with Correct Stress". Play a recording of a short passage that contains many multi - syllable words. Students first listen to the recording and mark the stressed syllables of the multi - syllable words in the passage. Then, read the passage aloud in groups, paying attention to the correct stress of multi - syllable words. Select some groups to read aloud in front of the class and let other students evaluate.
4. Consolidation (8 minutes)
Activity 7: "Pronunciation Quiz". Prepare a set of quiz questions, including questions about vowel sounds (such as choosing the correct vowel sound for a given word), letter combinations (identifying the pronunciation of a letter combination in a word), and stress of multi - syllable words (marking the stressed syllable or choosing the correct stressed form of a word). Let students complete the quiz individually within 5 minutes. Then, check the answers together, and explain the difficult points.
Activity 8: "Mini - Presentation". Ask students to prepare a short introduction about their favorite place in the school within 3 minutes. They need to use at least 5 words with the vowel sounds, letter combinations, and multi - syllable words learned in this class. Then, ask several students to come to the front of the class and give their presentations. The teacher and other students listen carefully and give feedback on pronunciation.
5. Summary and Homework (2 minutes)
Summary
Briefly review the key points of this class, including the pronunciation rules of vowel sounds, letter combinations, and the stress of multi - syllable words. Emphasize the importance of correct pronunciation in English learning and encourage students to keep practicing.
Homework
Ask students to record themselves reading 10 words with different vowel sounds, letter combinations, and multi - syllable words, and send the recording to the class group.
Let students make a list of 10 new words related to school, and mark the pronunciation and stress of these words.
教学反思
After this class, I need to reflect on the following aspects. Firstly, in terms of teaching methods, the use of various activities like games and group work effectively motivated students' enthusiasm for learning. However, some students still had difficulties in accurately mastering the pronunciation of certain vowel sounds, especially the subtle differences between / / and / /, /u / and / /. In future teaching, I should design more targeted discrimination exercises, such as more detailed mouth - shape demonstrations and more contrastive listening exercises.
Secondly, regarding student participation, most students actively participated in classroom activities, but a small number of students were still a bit passive. I need to pay more attention to these students, encourage them more, and design activities that are more suitable for their levels to make them more involved in the learning process.
Finally, in terms of the connection between knowledge and practical application, although students practiced a lot in class, there may still be a gap between classroom practice and real - life language use. I should try to create more real - life - like language situations in future classes to help students better transfer the learned pronunciation knowledge to practical communication.
