教材解讀（Material Interpretation）
通常人們忌諱“只見樹木，不見森林”，然而這里我們姑且就一個單元這只林片木來想象一下那片充滿神奇的森林。從某種意義上說，這或許正是這套教材的編寫者們的用意所在。高一英語新教材的編寫依然以單元為單位，但每個單元打破了呆板的塊狀設計，換之于流暢的線型流程，為課堂教學的靈活組織留下了更大的空間。整個教材體現了Communicative Curriculum的指導思想。每個單元以功能為主題，話題為支撐，結構為平臺，任務為載體，意義交流為目的，充分體現了語言運用的基本思路，為任務型課堂教學構建了框架，注重提高學生用英語獲取信息、處理信息、分析和解決問題的能力，發展學生與人溝通和合作的能力。
本單元的主題是Technology，中心話題為Hi-tech,話題本身具有強烈的時代氣息，貼近學生的實際生活，符合學生的認知水平，在學生中有較強的認同感。這一單元的交際功能項目（Functional Item）有兩個：1. Describing things 2. Expressing agreement & disagreement。結構項目（Structure）為The Present Continuous Passive Voice；主要能力項目為Reading 和Writing，其中一個閱讀正篇，兩個Language Input, 要求學生學會閱讀并在閱讀中培養根據上下文或構詞法理判斷詞義的能力，同時學會寫信并在信中闡述問題的癥結，發表自己的觀點。拓展項目為如何運用高科技獲取更多英語信息，提升英語學習，并探究科技為人類帶來便利的同時可能存在的負面影響以及消除這些影響的解決辦法。
二 教學目標(Instructional Objectives)
通過教學，學生能描繪一些日常用品（如第一課時的A Guessing Game 和Describing and Drawing），發現一些問題，發表個人觀點，努力解決問題（如第二課時的Problems and Solutions，Role Play和A TV Chitchat Program: Help is on the Way）；能學會與他人交流和合作（如第三課時中的Designing and advertising a new model of cell phone for Chinese high school students）；能學會尋找適當渠道解決實際問題（如第四課時中的A Letter of Complaint to the Headmaster）；能自己學會學習，在學習中建立輸入假設，在實踐中驗證假設，并最后修正假設(如第四課時的對The Present Continuous Passive Voice的學習)；能懂得基本的一些學習策略，并運用這些策略提高在一定的context 中對一些較難詞義的推斷能力（如第五課時中的Word and Strategy）；能運用高科技獲取更多英語信息，提升自己的英語學習(如第三課時中的Story Sharing和第六課時的Essay Writing)；能探究高科技為人類帶來文明和便利的同時可能存在的負面影響以及消除這些影響的解決辦法（如第五課時中的Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of cellphones, robots, computers etc.）；能在研究性的學習中進行自我反思，培養公民意識、社會責任感和全球觀念（如第五課時中的A Probe into the Cause of Teenagers’ Addiction to Cyber Café和第六課時中的To Be a Technology-driven Human or not to Be）；能在不斷的反思中領悟并懂得人類追求高科技的根本目的，倡導人與人之間的友愛和真情（如第六課時中的寫給未來控制了人類的巨能電腦Q12 的題為Love is the Everlasting Topic of the World的信）。

3．教學思路(Teaching Planning)和任務設計(Task Designing)
整個單元分成六個次話題：New Uses of Things, Problems and Solutions, Life in a Technological Era, Teaching and Living Facilities, Controversy about Technology 和Attitude towards Technology， 根據難點重點設計任務，注意任務的連貫性、剃度性。
第一課時話題為New Uses of Things, 能力重點為Listening。在設計任務時特地設計了Describe the things and how they work, 突出Listening外，巧妙地融進了Speaking , 為下一課時作好了鋪墊。 在做Describing and Drawing任務時，老師有意識地用一些如CD機，遙控器之類的東西，讓一組學生進行Description，另一組學生進行Drawing and Guessing, 這樣成功地創造了一個Information Gap,使學生興致盎然，并在完成任務的同時悄悄地接近了單元中心主題。教學者就這樣不露痕跡地完成點題這一細節。結束任務是除了本節課探討的這些東西的New Uses 以外，思考一下使用這些東西帶來的問題。 這樣巧妙地過渡到了第二課時的話題Problems and Solutions。
第二課時話題為Problems and Solutions， 能力重點是Speaking。通過Warming up 和對上一節課布置的問題的思考，輕松引入Speaking。通過幫助老師解決難題這一任務, 預演怎么Give opinions, 如何express agreement and disagreement。接著，進入Role Play 這一任務。 通過觀看Family Album, USA,和Mr Bean中的幾組鏡頭， 學會更多表示同意和反對的方法，拓展語匯，豐滿語言。此后學生開始由外及里，進入每人的內心世界，審視自身的問題，尋求解決的途徑。最后通過模擬電視臺主持人主持的一檔題為Puppy Love 的Chitchat Program，讓學生模擬老師、家長、校長、專家、教育部門領導等角色，暢所欲言，以進一步鞏固已學語言，達到真實交流的目的。結束時一個What Makes Such Service Possible?又將學生引入中心話題Technology的思索.。要求學生在思索之后通過上網閱讀，準備一個能體現Technology優越性的愛心故事，在下一節課與其他同學分享。這以環節不僅與下一節課的主題Life in a Technological Era聯系了起來，為下一節閱讀課作了準備，更為本單元最后主題的升華即Love is the Everlasting Topic of the World 埋下了伏筆。
第三課時為Reading, Sub Topic為Life in a Technological Era。通過Story Sharing這一“讀中帶說”的任務，感悟Technology，暢談由此帶來的便利和文明的提高。接著轉入閱讀，依次完成閱讀的各級任務，同時初步領略語言項目The Present Continuous Passive Voice，為下一節課作好鋪墊。最后，從感受高科技進入體驗高科技，完成一個Cell Phone新款 的設計任務，并用恰當語言表述其性能、款式，完成產品的宣傳策劃，接著根據市場反饋，修正設計任務。這節課的Assignment是一個關于學校教學和學生生活設施的一個調查。學生五、六人不等，組成一個小組，完成對學�，F有教學和生活設施的調查，明確在這方面還應該有哪些投入，緊扣下一節的話題，并為在下一節課模擬和校長的Interview中和寫給校長的 A Letter of Complaint中準備好真實的材料。
第四課時的話題為Teaching and Living Facilities。通過Warming up 中的Word Puzzle(或 Word Game)，自然導入Word Study和 Grammar。在Grammar中，根據Krashen 的Input Hypothesis(輸入假設理論),由學生通過對課文中一些相同結構句子的分析，形成自己的假設，通過兩人小組活動的句型轉換練習，驗證假設，獲得反饋，最后在題為Talk about the Damage that is Being Done to the World的討論中提純語言，修正假設，完成良好的自主學習習慣。利用上一節課課后所做調查中的材料，模擬和校長的一個Interview，在Interview中學生反映學校學習和生活中的問題。反映問題時學生會不可避免地用到剛學的語法結構，如I am being given too much homework. We are always being highly controlled by the teachers. Not enough opportunities are being offered to us students. At night, I am frequently being disturbed by the noise from the nearby construction site. …等等，重新復習怎么提出觀點，扮演校長的學生也不可避免地會對學生的觀點、建議要表示同意或反對，這樣，又一次凸現了本單元Expressing agreement and disagreement的功能項目。最后給校長寫一封抱怨信，將在學習和生活遇到的問題和自己的觀點、建議寫進信內，投入校長信箱，等待校長答復。由于在學習Unit 9時，學生在新學校已生活了約一兩個月，這樣的任務設計應該是非常真實，也容易操作。本課的Assignment 是準備一個Hi-tech Show, 學生五、六人不等，組成一個小組,確定主題，上網搜索，充分展示高科技的成果和給人類帶來的文明，要求配上解說詞。每一小組時間不超過2分鐘。
第五課時話題為Controversy about Technology, 音樂MTV欣賞作為Warming up，接著從MTV的制作，直接進入各小組的Hi-tech Show, 因為高科技的成就和給人類生活帶來的文明是本單元的中心主題，因此在這里進一步進行渲染、烘托。同時話鋒一轉，對比鮮明地轉入本課話題Controversy about Technology。通過對手機、機器人和電腦等物advantages 和disadvantages的討論，進行反思，最后完成對于青少年進網吧玩游戲問題的調查，寫出調查報告。
第六課時是終結性課時，集中體現各種能力，重點突出語言的使用，課時話題為Attitudes toward Technology。Warming up是一個師生之間的chatting。在chatting中談中國與西方國家在科技發展上的差別，中國青少年與中國未來的關系，中國青少年該如何處理個人與民族的關系等，自然切入主題。緊接著的是調查報告反饋。每個小組用兩分鐘時間陳述報告，交換意見，最后以班級名義將整合的調查報告呈交有關部門。通過調查，學生開始接觸世界，了解社會，以此增強公民意識和社會責任感。討論出青少年進入游戲網吧的有關規定，交給各個社區，用于宣傳教育。完成一個題為To Be a Technology-driven Human or not to Be的Debate。在Debate中，進一步點明本單元的中心主題和體現本單元的交際功能項目。在Debate之后用一些伊拉克戰爭、原子彈爆炸、核武器競賽和心臟移植手術、南極探險等圖片的鮮明對比使學生對該如何使用高科技進行深刻的反思，想象abusing高科技可能帶來的惡果。緊接著是Language Input，講述的是2374年人類被巨能電腦Q12控制后的世界模樣。最后以一封寫給巨能電腦Q12的題為Love is the Everlasting Topic of the World的信作為本單元的結束，使主題得到了升華。
總之，在進行單元教學設計時，努力做到板塊清晰，思路流暢，條塊結合，經緯貫通。主題鮮明，反復烘托，功能項目體現到位；能力結構分配合理，梯度適中；任務設計環環相扣，逐步升級。板塊之間既個性鮮明，重點突出，又首尾相接，前呼后應；整個單元主題明朗，任務多樣；教學思路流暢，前后呼應，一氣呵成。

4．教學方法
在教學方法上追求輕松自然，強調教學方法的多樣化、藝術性。具體采用的教學方法有情景教學法（Situational Approach）、交際法（Communicative Approach）、整體語言教學法（Whole Language Teaching）、情感激勵法(Affective Motivation)等。在重視語言內涵的前提下不拒絕語言形式上的韻味和美感，適時配以音樂、時尚、藝術等，追求人與語言內容、語言形式的和諧。在強調語言實際功能的基礎上，注意呈現語言的人文光輝，使語言學習既受用無窮，又多姿多彩。
1）教學方法的多樣性
例如在本單元中，我們非常重視Warming up，通過Warming up，激活學生已有的知識和經驗，調動各種學習機智如情緒、態度、心理等，鏈接即將開始的Classroom Activity。使整個單元的Warming up形式多樣，景趣交融。
激情聯想（如第一課時）
直觀圖片（如第三課時）
問題解決（如第二課時）
自由談話（如第六課時）
音樂（如第五課時）
游戲（如第四課時）
2)教學方法的獨特性
在教學中和任務設計中不經意卻是有意識地將多媒體、電腦等揉入在其中，并特別注意這些東西在課堂上的有效使用，體現其輔助作用(如在本單元的授課中，第一和第四課時為使用多媒體)；同時讓學生也實踐操作(如第五課時中的Hi-tech Show)，使中心主題與課堂實踐，學生意識與教師意圖融為一體，凸現主題。
3)教學方法的藝術性
注重語言功能性和語言人文性的結合
重視學生內在需求的形成
注意發揮教學者人格力量作用
強化期待教育和情感激勵法
營造人與語言、人與文化和諧自然、人景相趣的語言學習環境
四．教學理念（Conceptual Bases）
以任務型教學（Task-based Language Teaching）為設計理念，正確定位學生在語言學習中的主體地位，以任務為載體，使學生通過體驗、感悟、完成任務，達到意義協商、真實交流的目的；強調語言的內容含義優于語言的形式結構；注重語言的功能性，但不忽視語言的人文性；注意教師的人格力量在語言學習中的積極作用；提高學生獲取信息、處理信息和分析、解決問題的能力，強化學生的文化意識，激發學生的探究心理，促使學生研究性學習習慣的逐步形成；全面提高學生的人文素養，增強學生的社會責任感。
語言首先是一種交際的工具，因為各種交流的需要才賦予語言鮮活的生命和經久不衰的美麗。各種源自真實生活的真實任務激發了學生各種語言交流的需求，為語言的運用搭建了一個廣闊的舞臺。由于學生的注意力集中在任務的完成上，語言交流的過程變得真實、自然，近乎母語的悄然習得。而完成任務之后的成就感是學生信心倍增，為語言的進一步學習作好了心理準備。
在任務型教學中，我們從學生的認知水平、知識結構出發，尊重學生的意愿和情感的需要，從學生“學”的角度來設計出貼近學生真實生活，包括學校生活、社會生活、內心世界、情緒變化等各種教學任務，其中有單個任務、任務環、任務鏈等形式，以此激發學生的求知欲，促使學生產生學習的內驅力，主動自覺的融入語言活動，使語言學習成為像喝咖啡、欣賞音樂一樣變成一種時尚，一種源自內心需要的自覺追求。
在教學中，根據ELT頂尖級專家Krashen的Comprehensible Input 和 Input Hypothesis理論，有效組織語言教學，促進學生構建自己的學習模式，盡早養成自主學習的習慣。
總之，在整個教學理念設計中，貫徹了“以人為本”（Learners-Centered）、“任務為重”的原則,使原來的“教學者帶著知識走向學生”變成了“教學者帶著學生走向知識甚至共同走向知識”。同時也不露痕跡表達了“以人為本”的另一層含義，那就是關注學生情感，使學生在英語學習的過程中，提高獨立思考和判斷的能力，發展與人溝通和合作的能力，增進文化理解和跨文化交際的能力，樹立正確的人生觀，加強公民意識，增強社會責任感，著眼未來，培養全球觀念。
五．教學手段與評價工具
在教學中充分利用好與教材配套的錄音帶、VCD、練習冊、閱讀訓練、多媒體軟件等，并以此作為學生學習和教師教學的重要內容和手段。在信息時代飛速發展的今天，我們應重視使用一些先進的現代技術教學手段，提高學生學習英語的興趣。主要以多媒體輔助教學，以增加教學的直觀性和趣味性，加大課堂密度，提高教學效率。在使用多媒體時，應提倡適當使用，為了提高教學效率，創設更好的學習情境而使用，而不是為了嘩眾取寵。注重課件風格和教師教學風格的一致性，避免把英語課變成多媒體課件展示課，在多媒體輔助教學的過程中，教師仍應發揮其主導作用，注意多媒體運用的頻度，注重各類媒體的結合應用，避免只重多媒體而忽視常規教學媒體和手段，避免把投景屏幕當成黑板，注重“以人為本”，發揮學生的主體性。在制作課件時，我們不妨進行一番“換位思考”。其一，把老師置于學生的感知角度，體會他們的學習情緒和學習心理，去感知教材和訓練語言交際能力，以此來找準教學的切入點和突破點，從而落實教學目標和重點；其二，把學生置于課件主人地位，使學生在不斷的語言訓練中理解并掌握教材，進而運用，達到用英語思考和表達的境界。
根據《課程標準》，強調建立能激勵學生學習興趣和自主學習能力發展的評價體系。該評價體系由形成性評價和終結性評價構成。評價應對學生在學習過程中所表現的情感、態度和學習策略，掌握基礎知識、基本技能和使用英語的能力，以及表現出的發展潛能等，進行全面綜合性的評價。在英語教學過程中應以形成性評價為主，注重培養和激發學生學習的積極性和自信心，評價要有利于促進學生綜合語言運用能力和健康人格的發展。該評價體系既關注結果，又關注過程，使對學習過程和對學習結果的評價達到和諧統一。
有很多課堂情形需要教師對學生行為進行觀察和分析，單純的筆頭考試不能全面反映學生的學習成就。尤其像英語課，對于學生的評價，除了單純的筆頭考試外，還應注重對學生的口語，朗讀與聽說，閱讀等種種需要。老師在課堂上通過觀察學生的實際行為，對學生作出相應的評價，進行適時的反饋。堅持以表揚、鼓勵為主，給學生足夠的成就感，保持他們學習英語的驅動力。這種形成性的評價要求學生能夠展示他們能做什么而不只是說他們要做什么，而且也能使學生有機會把在課堂中學到的知識運用到實際生活中去。
無論是哪種評價方法，都需要使用一定的評價工具，即要有一定的評價技術。常用的評價工具有：（1）教師自制的單元測驗；（2）各類標準測驗；（3）行為觀察的現場反饋或記錄；（4）問卷調查；（5）交談法；（6）作業（任務報告）分析；（7）表演；（8）個案分析；（9）學習效果自評；（10）家長反饋；（11）各類獎懲。
在教學評價的具體實施中，評價組織形式也是至關重要的，它從一個方面反映出教師的教學指導思想。只有民主的教學環境才能促使學生充分、自由地發展，這應該體現在教學的民主化方面。因此，教學評價的組織形式也要體現出這個思想。在總體安排上，可提出教師--學生--家長評價相互結合，充分依靠這些評價主體的力量，尤其是學生的力量，使評價真正發揮其應有的作用。因此，在評價時，可以“他評”和“自評”相結合，其中“他評”中“教師評”“學生評”和“家長評”三種形式可結合起來。在通常的情況下，以教師對學生的評價占居多數。但是，學生評價不僅僅是教師的責任，從一定意義上來說，學生應該成為評價的主人，我們盡力創造條件，讓學生也擔負起評價的責任。學生參與評價可分為學生的自我評價和學生的相互評價。自我評價與相互評價的活動能引起學生強烈的興趣，調動他們的學習積極性，也能促進學生的自我教育。當然，在學生的自我評價與相互評價中應強調發現自己的長處和發現別人的優點。在主人的組織形式中應強調教師--學生--家長系統的共同評價。家長參與評價需要作好動員及明確評價的要求與方法，注意評價的客觀性和鼓勵性。
1．對學生口頭匯報的評價
1）Physical Expression
隨時關注學生的身體語言，主要觀察姿勢，棉布表情，是否保持良好的目光交流等，并注意適時的反饋來吸引學生、提醒學生。
2）Vocal Expression
對學生的聲音表現，如發音是否正確清晰、聲調變化、音量、停頓等
3） Verbal Expression
語言表現。如用詞是否準確、達意，是否避免不必要的重復，意義表達是否完整，信息組織是否有邏輯性，結論是否能切中等。但要注意的是教師的評價要因人而異，客觀的評價每位學生，幫助每位學生獲得成功；注意糾錯的方式和藝術，進行有效監控，但不過分挑剔學生表演過程中所犯的語言性錯誤，大膽放手讓學生自由發揮。
2. 對學生英語聽說課的評價
教師可以通過以下問題對雪糝進行調查，以便于我們了解或掌握學生在聽說客商的情況。
Which speaking ,listening activities did you participate in this week?
Which did you enjoy/dislike? Why?
In which speaking activity do you think you did best? What makes you think so?
What type of speaking activity would you like to do better? …
3. 對于學生閱讀的評價
對于學生的閱讀，我們不妨經常用下列問題的調查來了解學生的閱讀情況。
How did you feel about the passage you read? Were you excited or bored?
Can you understand the passage easily? How long did you spend finishing it?
Did you meet with any difficulties?
What did you learn from the passage?
Do you have the habit of reading more related information?…
4. 對于學生寫作的評價
How did you go abut writing this piece?
What problems did you encounter?
Have you solved the problems now?
What goals did you set for yourself in this piece?
How well did you accomplish them?
What are your goals for your next piece?
What did you do with your notebook?
提倡學生作文形式的多樣化，如寫周記、調查報告、給編輯寫信、發e-mail等，鼓勵學生交換閱讀，互相取長補短，鼓勵學生多寫，并將好的文章展示、廣播、投稿等，展示時盡可能多給獲得成功的機會，如可設最佳主題、最佳描述、最佳創意、最佳組織等。
5.通過一單元的學習，教師還可以對學生進行一次測試性評價，并在做一些定性評價，以求評價的全面性。如：
Teacher’s Comments:
You do a good job of /__________________.This student can______________________.
You can improve in______________________. This student need__________________.
Students’ Comments:
I did well in __________________________.
I plan to improve by _________________________.
Parents’ Comments:
________________________________________________.
6. 學完Unit 9, SEFC 1A 之后的幾種評價
1）對于學生小組活動中的合作表現評價
教師用小活動中的合作表現評價表觀察學生在小組活動中的表現，主要觀察學生在小組活動中的積極性、主動性、參與精神、是否注意傾聽和尊重他人意見、是否給予他人機會發表意見、是否按時完成任務等。在完成整個單元之后，可用下表進行評價
