教材分析
整體教學內容分析
本單元主要的教學內容是“介紹英美人的姓名”。除了要復習鞏固初一學過的一般現在時和現在進行時外，還要學習一些新的詞匯和日常用語。由the difference between Chinese and English names 引出be short for和call sb. / sth. for short兩個短語，學習了英國人名的順序以及與稱呼的搭配使用、簡稱的由來。本單元突出了聽說領先的特點，加深理解了both與all、wish 與hope、excuse與sorry的用法區別。Lesson4主要學習元音音素 [a:][au]，逐漸能按照26個字母及有關字母組合的拼讀規則來朗讀、拼寫和記憶單詞。
教學要點分析
1．熟練運用本單元的日常交際用語，掌握不定代詞的修飾語的正確位置。
2．中國人名與英國人名順序的區別，英國人名簡稱形式的由來。
3．學習序數詞first , second, third 和fourth. 注意它們的書寫和用法，特別是要理解它們在句子中所作的語言成分。
4．進一步復習鞏固現在進行時態，理解其與一般現在時的區別。注意助動詞be與單復數人稱的相應變化，系統總結動詞形式（v. -ing）的變化。
5．歸納r音節的拼讀規則 進一步明確單詞的發音特點：一個字母特別是元音字母不只一個讀音，一個音素（即音標）也不只由一個字母或一個字母組合構成。
關于英國人名字的教學分析
本單元主要的教學內容是“介紹英美人的姓名”。教師在教學中要注意讓學生清楚地了解英國人的三個名字各自的意義，它們之間的關系，并且要掌握如何要稱呼一個英國人以及了解中國人和英國人名字之間的區別。
本單元教學要求學生對英語姓名有些初步的了解，知道姓和名的位置、全名、男女名、尊稱、呢稱等即可，不必講得過細。在教第2課時，需強調用Mr./Miss./Mrs.稱呼人時，后面要用姓 (Mr. Brown)不可用名 (Mr. Robert)，因為這是中國人通常犯的錯誤。英語和漢語人名表示方法的區別在于姓和名的順序。
教法建議
關于交際語言運用教學
學生們經過一個假期休息，無論從體力還是腦力都得到充分放松，精力十分充沛。教師應抓住學生這一良好狀態，結合本單元知識點少，交際性強的特點努力為學生創設語境，激發學生學習語言的興趣，使學生對語言的學習產生新鮮感，成就感，從而提高學習效率。針對本單元交際性強的特點，創設適合于每課的語言環境，使學生置身于此環境，并擔當某一角色，從而讓學生真正感悟到語言的真諦。
關于詞匯和短語的教學
記憶單詞和習語是學生比較頭痛的。為了減輕學生思想負擔，通過師生之間對話，將生詞及習語逐一呈現。在特定情景中，通過使用熟悉詞語進行會話表演等交流方式，學會生疏單詞。
有些特殊詞還可用圖片、幻燈，示范動作呈現給學生，讓學生感到學有所用，
英語并不是難不可攀。
關于現在進行時的教學
1．動作表演游戲
教師做個動作讓學生來表達：He/She is doing …，學生之間互相交換一個做動作，另一個用英語表達他/她正在進行的動作。或讓一個學生先做個動作，其他的學生來表達。如一個學生做個看書的動作，另一個學生用英語問：What’s he/she doing?，其他的學生搶著說：He/She is reading (a book)，看誰說的又快又準確。也可以換成一個學生用英語表達一個動作，讓別的學生來做這個動作，看動作是否表演得準確。
采取對抗賽的形式：1-6小組，1、3、5組組員分批表演啞劇動作，2、4、6組組員分批使用英語描繪證明這些動作。表演動作明確易懂的，得分。使用英語描繪該動作，無誤的，得分。
2．描繪圖畫。
師生之間，或同學之間互相指圖問答。如下圖，教師指著圖中站在窗戶旁的男孩用一個學生：What’s he doing? ，學生回答：He is cleaning the window。接著這個學生指著圖中的某個人，問別的學生：What’s he/she doing?，循環下去，盡量讓更多的學生參與。
也可采用比賽形式，教師指著圖中的人問：What’s he/she doing?，讓學生進行搶答，看誰答得又快又準確。
3．創設情景，首先請一位同學讀課文，唱英文歌等易表演的動作。在他做此動作過程中，教師可提出問題：What is he doing? 請學生回答：He is reading. He is singing an English song.
然后組織學生兩人一組，模仿剛才師生問答做表演。
條件好的可看課文教學錄像，加深對現在進行時的理解。
關于課文What’s in a name? 的教學
1．首先問一個學生：What’s your name? 然后教師說His/Her full name is …，并且把名字板書出來。然后給出一個已學過的英文名字：Jim，告訴學生Jim’s full name is James Allan Green，借此解釋full name和given name的意思。
2．以圖解的形式講解English names: a first name, a middle name and a family name的意義。
或通過播放動畫講解：The meanings of the three names, How to call a person, the difference between English names and Chinese names（見媒體素材中動畫類：names）。
3．學生熟悉課文后，讓學生仿照課文內容give a talk about names: English names and Chinese names。可以參考視頻文件：What’s in a name?（見媒體素材中視頻類：talk about names）
4．讓學生就自己的名字進行對話練習，參照練習冊Ex 2的5個問題進行一對一對的練習，或讓學生就這5個問題對某人進行采訪，記錄下采訪的過程。
關于現在進行時的講解
(1)表示講話時或現階段正在進行的動作
He is singing in the room.
They are listening to their teacher.
(2) 有時表示計劃安排中的將來動作（限于come, go leave, stay 等少量動詞）
He's coming tonight.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
(3) 表示目前反復發生的動作，有時含有感情色彩。
He's always talking in class.
關于Happy teacher’s Day的講解
Happy teacher's Day, Mr. Wu. 祝您教師節愉快，吳老師！
（1）happy意為“快樂的；幸福的；樂意的”。常可放句首構成表示祝福的句子。如：
Happy Birthday! 生日快樂！
Happy New Year! 新年快樂！
（2）Teachers' Day意為“教師節”，是由普通名詞構成的專有名詞，每個單詞的第一個字母都要大寫。在表示節日的專有名詞前一般不需要冠詞the.如：
Women's Day 婦女節 Children's Day 兒童節 Mother's Day 母親節 April Fools' day 愚人節
（3）表示祝福時除些表達方式外，還有兩種形式：
Best wishes to sb. (for …); wish sb. +賓語補足語。如：
Best wishes to you for Teachers' Day.
I wish you a happy New Year.
關于matter的講解
It doesn't matter this time.這次沒有關系。
matter 在這里作動詞，意為“要緊”。如：
It matters very little.不要緊，絲毫沒關系。
It doesn't matter who will do it.誰干這事都無關緊要。
matter 同時也可作名詞，意為“事情，問題”。如：
―I can't carry the heavy box. ――我搬不動這個重箱子。
―No matter. Let me help you. ――沒關系。我幫你。
What's the matter with you? 你怎么了？
關于Why don’t 表建議的用法講解
Why don't you talk about names? 你為什么不談論一下名字呢？
這是一個否定的特殊疑問句，表示勸說或建議，這個句子也可用“Why not + 動詞原詞？”
來表達同樣的意思。如本句可改為：Why not talk about names?
What /How about …? 這一句型也表示建議可與上述句型轉換。不過后面若跟動詞時，
必須用-ing形式。如：
Why don't you go to ask the teacher? = What about going to ask the teacher?
