（义务教育课程标准实验教科书EEC小学英语五年级下册）
【教材分析】
本节课为EEC教材小学课本第六册Lesson5的第三课时，本节课讲第一课时及第二课时作为基础，进一步巩固练习句子“Welcome to…”及感叹句“What a…”的运用，并对熟悉和喜爱的国家地点进行简单地描述，初步了解几个典型国家的人文地貌。
【学情分析】
本课的教学对象是小学五年级的学生，他们已经具有了一定的英语基础。这个年龄段的学生特点是对于新鲜、陌生的事物充满了求知的欲望，乐于用英语表达所见、所闻、所学并积极地参与到学习活动中来。本课设计了体验性教学活动，使学生能够自主、快乐地完成既定的学习任务，逐步巩固已有的教学内容，丰富学生的生活经历，培养他们英语语言思维能力，拓展第二语言国家的人文知识。
【教学目标】
通过学习，了解一些国家及其城市、名胜古迹或代表动物。学会使用表达不同感受的形容词及其感叹句 What a…! 中的运用。
教学的重点、难点：学习感叹句What a…!在情境中情感的真实流露和表达。准确把握beautiful/wonderful/fantastic在语用时意义上的差别。让学生充分运用已有的知识进行语言运用。
【教学思路】
在设计时，采用以旧带新和以激发学生运用已学知识的方法。词汇的呈现和运用不是机械的，而是运用中记忆。利用多媒体手段调动学生的学习积极性，扩展西方地理文化知识，培养学生热爱祖国，热爱世界之情。并以联系学生生活实际为本，发挥小组合作的优势，培养学生良好的学习和交际策略。

【自评】
本节课的设计主要侧重在如何扩展西方文化知识，了解国家及名胜、动物。在本节课中，信息输入量大、内容丰富，有效地扩展了人文地貌。词汇的呈现和运用有创新之处，不是简单的机械训练，而是运用中记忆。如，China is a country. Do you know other countries? 调动学生运用己有知识，引导学生说Australia(…) is a country. 复习国家词的同时，学习运用了一个新词country.突破新知识。再过渡到观看埃及的影片，孩子们边观看边为眼前神奇的国家发出感叹！复习感叹句，而后教授Egypt和pyramids 。
通过一段澳洲的录象素材，带领学生们参观游览澳洲，使他们感受的国家的美丽、人们的快乐、动物的可爱。既让学生了解异域风情，又让学生运用语言发出由衷的感叹,课堂气氛达到高潮。而后,回到我们对祖国的热爱，出示我国风光图片让学生们做某地的导游。激发学生热爱祖国之情,为学生提供一个运用语言的真实空间。
【点评】
本节课主线清晰自然流畅。积极倡导新课标的理念，以扩展异域地理文化知识为主线，层层深入，由易到难。从孩子们已有知识出发，从孩子们最熟知的家乡的名胜入手开始了一堂别开生面的英语教学课。本课处处体现以学生为主体，教师为主导的思想，每次复习或新知的呈现都先启发学生说，充分调动学生的已有知识和课外知识。
另外，恰到好处的运用多媒体的辅助作用。为学生呈现了一幅幅视觉美，音乐美的画面，带领学生游览欣赏异域的风景。从而由衷地引发感叹，突破本课的重点和难点，这个活动不仅是为学生创造再次的语言输入的机会，而且输入的信息量大，为后面的知识反馈和运用作铺垫。
同时，教师在设计课的时候既考虑面向全体又充分考虑学生的差异性，采用小导游介绍等多种方式调动学生学习的积极性和参与性。最后，教师还能注重渗透情感教育，让学生热爱家乡，热爱祖国，热爱世界，同时热爱美好的生活。
