35、础。在教学的过程中，我就通过一些图片的举例，让学生自己去讲述，去 思考对机器人的认识，从而更加熟悉机器人的话题，从而为接下来的阅读学习做准备。 课后，我结合各位老师的指导和点评 以及我自己的一些思考，感觉我的这堂课还有很多的不足之处。我想自己在以下方面尚有待改进：首先，是课堂语言的使用，一个出色的 教师不但要具备备好课的能力，还要具备如何把自己的知识通过语言来传达给学生，这就要求教师设计好自己的课堂语言，能用简单的，易懂的语言使学生明白要做什么，该做什么以及能够吸收掌握。在这方面，我觉得自己的语言还不够简单，忽视了一些基础稍差的同学的 理解能力，在以后的教学中，还应该仔细地推敲教学语言的运用，尽量把口语的东西简单化。其次， 在学生回答问题，陈述观点之后的评 价过于轻视。在学习过程中，大多数的学生都兴致勃勃，基本都在积极参与，思考，回答问题。但当他们在回答完一个问题或者讨论过后 陈述观点之后，我对于他们的评价过于简单，没有起到必要的指点作用，可能会使得学生有一种失落感。在今后的教学中，我应该更加关 注这一部分内容。在学生回答完问题之后，做适当的点评，增加学生的信心，起到错的有所指正，好的有所表扬，使得每个学生都能够积 极地参加到课堂中来，真正成为课堂的主人，才能更符合新课标的要求。
