经常有学生问：“老师，学英语有没有捷径嘛？”肯定 答：“ThereisnoshortcuttolearnEnglish.背词汇，运用词汇。”背词汇一直是中学生在学英语过程中的“拦路虎”。学生背住单词却在写作中就“词穷”了。纵所周知，英语词汇是英语学习的基石，词汇教学在高中英语课堂中是非常重要的。但那么多词汇都必须掌握吗？Nation在《词汇教学设计》（ManagingVocabularyLearning）一书中指出：“Allwordsarenotcreatedequal.”为了帮助和引导学生学习和应用所学词汇，针对我校学生的现状，结合我们的教研主题--词汇在高中英语教学中的有效性探究，本人对人教版必修一Unit4Earthquakes里的词汇教学进行大胆改革，分组教学，分层教学，让词汇教学更具有实效，更具有生命力。
教学设计如下：
