教学思路
本课时的教学内容是冀教版八年级下册英语第七单元的第一课时,主要涉及地理和语言的介绍。在授课之前先让学生自己通过网络了解或者同学们互相询问去过的地方了解本课。课上可以通过让学生小组合作的形式进行相互交流;然后教师通过幻灯片、图片向学生展示不同国家的地理环境,并让学生用英语进行介绍。
设计教学PPT,录音机,多媒体,图片和单词卡片。

☆教材解读☆
1.Jenny and I have been to China twice.
句中“have been to+地点”表示“曾经去过某地”,不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。
We have been to Mountain Tai.
我们去过泰山。
【辨析】 have/has been to,have/has gone to,have/has been in
(1)have/has been to表示“曾经去过某地”,说话的时候人已经回来,主要说经历,后面可以接次数,表示去过几次,如once,twice,three times等,也可以和just,never等连用。
She has been to Shanghai twice.
她去过上海两次了。
(2)have/has gone to表示“去某地了”,可能在去的途中,也可能已经到了,主要表达主语不在说话的地方,不能和表示时间段的时间状语连用。
