Teaching reflection：

   在本课中，学生通过听力训练、师生问答等，结合教学闪卡等教具，学习并反复操练了关于学科和星期的名词，同时也在小组合作探究活动中，学习了字母组合ear/eir/ere/eer/gh/ght的发音规则，并尝试听辨单词。因为本课学习的是星期和学科的名词，贴近学生的学习实际，因此本课结合了实际，创设情景让学生在情景中自然感知并熟练操练有关星期和学科的名词。但也正因为如此，本课的生词量比较大，部分学生在课堂上没办法当堂掌握并熟练运用这些词汇，因此教师应当多关注学困生，在他们学习的过程中，多给他们一些帮助，帮助他们顺畅地完成课堂英语的学习，给他们创造机会，引导其他同学也来帮助他们，形成同学之间互相帮助、共同合作的好习惯。
