单元学情分析
1、学生已有的认知水平和能力基础
八年级的学生大多数基础较好，在教学中尤其要注意学习能力的培养；需要多教给学生学习的方法并将课文重点处理到位。学生的共同之处如下：大家都是接触教材已一年多了，所以已经过了磨合期，学生对新老师，新教材都有一种新鲜感，也有初生牛犊不怕虎的冲劲，想利用学过的英语知识，说出流利而准确的英语。在这样的基础上，学生对于讨论跟他们生活息息相关的相关内容一概很容易产生兴趣。
2、学生学习本课可能遇到的困难和问题
他们之间也存在着差异：有些学生基础不错，愿意积极分享自己的意见，但有些学生原来小学初一时接受的英语教育基础比较差，有说的冲动，却无说的行动，怕丢面子，怕被嘲笑。这样就给听说训练课的开展设置了一道难关。我在设置教学目标时充分考虑到这些实际情况，根据不同的学生情况，设置不同难度阶梯，让每个学生都有机会达到成功点，都有属于自己的英语话语权。
3、学生在学习过程中可能采取的各种学习策略
教师创设提供的情景，降低了学生学习对话 ,交际用语的难度，学生在欣赏影视短片和交际情景中感受使用英语的魅力，并积极主动地掌握必要的有关交通的习惯词汇与语句，学生充分在情景中，通过自身的交际活动，学习英语。口头的表达最终的体现还应该是书面的应用，还需有写作内容的量带质的提升，学生可以及时做书面练习和造句。
单元教学建议
首先进行集中识字，为本单元的学习作好铺垫。其次，充分利用听力材料和阅读材料，训练和提高学生的听力和阅读水平。在听读的基础上创设语言情景，加强读写训练。培养学生的听、说、读、写综合能力。
