This teaching material comes from Starter Unit 3 Welcome! Section A Pronunciation in the 2024 version of the People's Education Press English textbook for Grade 7. In this unit, the theme is "Country Life", which is closely related to students' life experiences. The pronunciation part mainly focuses on helping students understand the common pronunciations of the vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables. It serves as a crucial foundation for students to accurately read and remember English words, laying a solid groundwork for their subsequent English learning. By learning this part, students can enhance their phonetic awareness, improve their reading ability, and better understand the relationship between letters and sounds in English words.
教学目标 1. Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to identify the common pronunciations of the five vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables. Students can correctly read and write the phonetic symbols of vowel letters in closed syllables. Students will master the pronunciation rules of vowel letters in stressed closed syllables. 2. Ability Objectives Through various pronunciation activities, students can improve their pronunciation accuracy and fluency.

教学重难点 1. Key Points The pronunciation rules of vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables. Helping students correctly read and distinguish the different pronunciations of vowel letters in closed syllables. 2. Difficult Points How to guide students to accurately apply the learned pronunciation rules to read new words and make them form a long - term memory of these rules. Overcoming students' native language interference and helping them master the correct pronunciation of English vowel letters.
1. Definition of Stressed Closed Syllables
A stressed closed syllable refers to a syllable that contains a vowel letter followed by one or more consonant letters (except r), and the syllable is stressed. For example, in the word "cat", "cat" is a single - syllable word, with the vowel letter "a" followed by the consonant letters "c" and "t", and it is a stressed closed syllable.
2. Pronunciation Rules of Vowel Letters in Stressed Closed Syllables
a: In stressed closed syllables, "a" is usually pronounced as / /. For example, in words like "cat" /k t/, "map" /m p/, "bag" /b g/.
e: In stressed closed syllables, "e" is usually pronounced as /e/. For example, in words like "bed" /bed/, "pen" /pen/, "red" /red/.
i: In stressed closed syllables, "i" is usually pronounced as / /. For example, in words like "big" /b g/, "pig" /p g/, "fish" /f /.
o: In stressed closed syllables, "o" is usually pronounced as / /. For example, in words like "dog" /d g/, "box" /b ks/, "hot" /h t/.
u: In stressed closed syllables, "u" is usually pronounced as / /. For example, in words like "cup" /k p/, "bus" /b s/, "duck" /d k/.
3. Phonetic Symbols
Students need to master the correct writing and pronunciation of the phonetic symbols corresponding to the vowel letters in stressed closed syllables, namely / /, /e/, / /, / /, / /.
教学过程
1. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students and have a free talk. For example, ask students "What did you do yesterday " or "Do you like animals " to create a relaxed classroom atmosphere.
Then, play a short English song about animals, such as "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". While playing the song, ask students to sing along and clap their hands. This can not only arouse students' interest but also prepare them for the following learning content related to animals.
2. Lead - in (5 minutes)
Show some pictures of animals and plants in the yard, such as a cat, a dog, a duck, an apple tree, etc. on the PPT. Point to each picture and ask students to read the English words they know. For words they don't know, write them on the blackboard.
Then, write some simple words on the blackboard, including open - syllable words like "cake", "no", "bike" and closed - syllable words like "cat", "dog", "big". Divide students into groups and ask them to observe the spelling and pronunciation of these words, and try to find the differences. After a few minutes, invite some groups to share their findings. This can lead to the topic of this class - the pronunciation of vowel letters in stressed closed syllables.
3. Presentation (15 minutes)
a in stressed closed syllables: Write the word "cat" on the blackboard. Read the word slowly, emphasizing the pronunciation of the vowel letter "a" / /. Let students watch the shape of your mouth when pronouncing / /, that is, the mouth is opened wide, the tongue is low, and the tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth. Then, write some other words with "a" in stressed closed syllables, such as "map", "bag", "hat", and ask students to read them one by one, imitating your pronunciation.
e in stressed closed syllables: Use the same method. Write the word "bed" on the blackboard. Read it and show the mouth shape for pronouncing /e/. The mouth is slightly opened, the tongue is in the middle, and the tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth. List more words like "pen", "red", "leg" and have students practice reading.
i in stressed closed syllables: Write "big" on the blackboard. Demonstrate the pronunciation of / /. The mouth is opened slightly, the tongue is in the middle, and the sound is short. Guide students to read words like "pig", "fish", "milk".
o in stressed closed syllables: Write "dog" on the blackboard. Read it and show the mouth shape for / /. The mouth is rounded and opened wide. Have students practice reading "box", "hot", "not".
u in stressed closed syllables: Write "cup" on the blackboard. Teach the pronunciation of / /. The mouth is opened wide, and the tongue is in the middle. Let students read "bus", "duck", "nut".
4. Practice (12 minutes)
Word - reading practice: Show a series of words on the PPT, including some new words with vowel letters in stressed closed syllables. Divide students into pairs. One student reads a word, and the other student checks if the pronunciation is correct according to the rules they just learned. Then they switch roles. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help when necessary.
Group competition: Divide the class into several groups. Write some words on pieces of paper and put them in a box. Each group sends a representative to draw a word from the box. The representative has to read the word correctly within 5 seconds. If they read it correctly, their group gets one point. The group with the most points at the end wins.
Listening practice: Play a recording. There are some words read in the recording, and students need to write down the words they hear and mark the pronunciation of the vowel letters according to the rules. After playing the recording, check the answers together.
5. Summary (5 minutes)
Summarize the pronunciation rules of vowel letters a, e, i, o, u in stressed closed syllables with students. Write the key points on the blackboard again, such as the pronunciation of each vowel letter and the characteristics of stressed closed syllables.
Ask students if they have any questions or if there are any parts they don't understand. Answer their questions and clarify any misunderstandings.
6. Homework (3 minutes)
Ask students to find at least 5 new words with vowel letters in stressed closed syllables in their English books or dictionaries, write them down, and mark the pronunciation of the vowel letters.
Read the words they learned in this class and the new words they found to their parents or record themselves reading these words and send the recording to the class group.
Blackboard Design
In the middle of the blackboard, write the title "Pronunciation of Vowel Letters in Stressed Closed Syllables".
On the left side, list the vowel letters a, e, i, o, u, and write their corresponding pronunciations in stressed closed syllables and some example words next to them.
On the right side, write the definition and characteristics of stressed closed syllables.
Teaching Reflection
After this class, it is necessary to reflect on the teaching process. Observe whether students can accurately master the pronunciation rules of vowel letters in stressed closed syllables. Analyze whether the teaching methods and activities are effective in helping students understand and practice. If some students still have difficulties in pronunciation, find out the reasons and adjust the teaching strategies in the following classes. Consider adding more individualized guidance for students with pronunciation problems and design more interesting practice activities to strengthen students' memory and application of pronunciation rules.
