随着我国教育由应试教育走向素质教育，外语教学的目的也越来越突出培养学生的外语交际能力，基于这一点，我做了一次大胆的尝试。把《九年义务教育初级中学英语教科书》第二册第16单元第61课的教学从教室里拉到了操场上，以活动课的形式完成对话课的教学内容。主要设计思路如下：
（一） 将本地区的行政区图画在操场上，给学生以耳目一新的感受，激发学生的学习兴趣和参与欲望。
（二） 多种情景的创设能够培养学生的创造性思维能力。
（三） 形式多样的练习能够促进学生交际能力的发展。真正达到学以致用的目的。
具体操作步骤如下：
步骤一：用以旧带新的方法，引导学生回忆学过的问路、指路的表达方法，在此基础上引入新的语言点，使学生即巩固了旧知识又学了新内容。
问路： Excuse me, where is … ?
How can I get to … ?
Which is the way to …, please?
Could you tell me how I can get to …, please?
Which bus can take me to … ?
I want to go to …, can you show me the way?
Can you tell me the way to … ?
指路： It’s over there. ( between … and … )
( at the end of the street )
(next to … )
(opposite the … )
Go along (down; up ) this road and …
Go across the bridge and …
Turn left (right ) at the … crossing and …
Take the … turning on the left (right ), and then …
Take the No.…Bus and it’ll take you to …
It’s very far from here, You’d better take a taxi.
步骤二：创设情景，分组练习。
1：两人一组练习，以图中标志（1）为起点。
1） 某位同学要去购物中心买文具
A: Hello. I want to go to the Shopping Centre to buy a pen, My pen is broken.
Will you go with me?
B: Sorry. I haven’t finished my homework.
A: But I don’t know the way, can you tell me?

Crossing you can see it on your right.

B: You’re welcome.
2) 放学了，刚出校门，有人向你询问去火车站的路。

3) 田径队的同学要去体育场训练，请指路。
