先生既没有进步，学生也就难有进步了，这是教学分离的流弊。
——陶行知教育箴言
12月19日上午，英语组邱莉老师开设校级骨干教师示范课《Let’s celebrate!》，相关学科组教师和南师大泰州学院的见习生参加了听课、评课活动。
本单元的主题为“Let’s celebrate!”，隶属于“人与社会”主题范畴，主题群为“历史、社会与文化”，涉及“节日与庆祝活动”子主题内容。本课为七年级上册第八单元的第二课时，话题为“新年庆祝方式”，语篇是一个讲述世界各地不同的新年庆祝方式的视频脚本，介绍了土耳其、希腊、丹麦和南美洲的哥伦比亚四国的新年传统习俗及其文化内涵。通过语篇学习可以帮助学生了解异国节日文化，拓宽学生的国际视野，启发学生体悟看似不同的新年传统习俗实际表达了相近的文化内涵——对未来的美好憧憬和祝福。
