部编版语文八年级下册《大自然的语言》教案
结束这节课，我心里很轻松，因为在以往的教学中学生感觉到：说明文很单调、枯燥不生动。而本节课学生与我配合得非常好，原因是我利用多媒体展示的几幅画面，把学生的注意力都集中在所讲的内容中，并且调动了学生学习的积极性，认为物候现象就在我们的身边，激发学生探索科学奥秘的兴趣，更多地去了解大自然，认识大自然，热爱大自然。在初读课文的时候，我训练了学生的概括能力；在分清举例说明的方法时，让学生明白什么是举例子的说明方法；在细读课文的时候，让学生学习生动地有条理地说明事物的方法，还重点品味第一段的生动语言，在品味说明文语言的准确性时，有日常生活中的例子导入，深入浅出地讲解了说明语言准确性的两点情况。

对初中英语教师说课技能的思考与建议
一、认识说课的实质说课是指教师以现代教育理念为指导，在精心备课的基础上，面对同行或教学研究人员，采用口头语言或相关辅助手段，阐述某学科课程或某具体课程的教学设计及其依据的教学研究过程（李崇爱,孟应周,2011）。简单而言，说课就是教师对“教什么”、“怎么教”、“为什么这么教”等问题进行阐述。这样做的目的，一方面可以展现一个教师的教育理论修养、教学组织能力和口头表达能力，另一方面可以帮助教师优化教学设计，反思教学行为，分享教学经验。
