I am going there by plane. I am swimming there.任务4、独立完成旅游计划的写作并当堂完成批改。由于前两步语言的铺垫, 学生有了一定的输入, 所以在短时间内， 学生能够完成写作,并全班范围内进行修改，在此过程中学生学会如何修改自己的写作。教学反思： 任务型教学是一种较新的教学方法，大家都还处于一个摸索阶段，所以本节课是对任务型教学与教材的相结合作了一个研究与尝试，本节课的一个大任务就是制定假期出游计划，为完成这个任务，在课堂上又呈现了三个环环相扣的小任务，形成一个完整的任务链，为任务的最终完成奠定基础。在完成任务过程中学生通过小组活动不但可以充分练习语言而且可以培养学生的协作精神。

最终学生在掌握语言的同时还能了解一些国家的背景知识及地理知识。本节课任务的设置基本本着以上三条原则，任务真实，活动量大，内容充实，通过group work 使学生做到互动，节奏快，学生都能最终完成本课设计的任务。而且由于各环节多给予了学生语言支持，很多同学都在较短的时间内，完成了一篇质量较高的写作，内容丰富，语言流畅。
