针对中学英语教材课文类型较多的特点，我们采用灵活多样的导入方法，设计恰当精炼的导入语进行课文的导入。下面试举几种常见的导入形式。
　　1.直观导入法
　　常用的直观教具大致有图片、幻灯片、投影片、简笔画、实物、多媒体等，教师可视具体情况灵活运用。
如教SEFC SB1B L86 BRITAIN AND IRELAND 时，在多媒体教室我向学生展示了一幅幅漂亮的画面（如英国的大笨钟、伊丽沙白女王、牛津大学图书馆、皇家卫队的换岗仪式等），并像导游一样娓娓道来：“Now,what is it ? Yes, it is Big Ben. Well, it\'s very famous. Can you guess who she is? Yes, she is Queen Elizabeth. And this picture is … Today we are going to learn about the country---”“ Britain!” 学生自然道出了要学的课文。
　　又如教SEFC SB1A L2 LETTER TO A PEN FRIEND 时，我将一个英文信封放在投影仪上（这样可以让学生在无意中注意到英文信封的格式，起到“顺手牵羊”的作用），并说道：“As you see, this is an English letter. It\'s written to a pen friend by an American boy. He worked on a farm in this summer holiday.(同时板书farm ) Have you visited a farm? How much do you know about a farm? Now let’s read it. 引起好奇，激发兴趣。
　　2.事件或故事导入法
　　“题材紧密联系现实生活”是高中教材的一个显著特点。教师可以从此入手，利用学生关心或熟悉的实例来导入新课，使学生产生亲切感和实用感。
　　如教SEFC SB2A L10 BODY LANGUAGE时，我先给学生讲了这样一个故事：
There was such a college where the students came from different countries. On the first day of new term, everyone eagerly wanted to know each other. So they greeted each other when they met. A French student was talking with his friends. When he saw an English student passing by, he said hello to him and touched him on the shoulders to express friendship. But to his surprise, the English student got angry. Why?
　　让学生在惊诧之余急于了解更多的体势语言，自然而然导入课文。
　　3.自由交谈或讨论导入法
　　这是最常见、最通用的一种方法，关键在于教师用简练的语言引出情境。教师利用新课开始前几分钟和学生进行自由交谈，或顺着值日生的Daily Talk进行交谈，这样不知不觉地引入新课。这种方法过渡自然，能把学生从无意注意引向有意注意，加深对新课的印象。
　　如教SEFC SB3A L34 GYMNASTICS时，我以这样一些话题与学生开始了交谈：“Do you like doing sports?”“Who is your favorite sportsman?”“Do you know about Lining, Li Xiaoshuang?”“Do you know any gymnast?”“Do you like watching gymnastics?”（板书生词gymnast, gymnastics）
　　在学生们踊跃回答后， 我不失时机的问道：Who can tell us something more about gymnastics? 以此导入课文。
　　又如教SEFC SB2B L66 LIFE IN THE FUTURE时，我与学生做了如下交谈：
Teacher: Well, this morning I got up late. But I wasn\'t late for work. That was because I drove to school. But two years ago I didn\'t have a car of my own, and I had to go to work by bike or by bus. It was not convenient. Today it\'s different. Great changes have taken place. And our life is becoming more and more convenient and much better. What will happen in the future? What will life be like in the future? Now, let\'s try to imagine our daily life.
Student A: Perhaps we will live on the moon.
