Presentation ProceduresLecture notesText: Some Strategies for Learning EnglishPart I. Background Information:1. Today’s English: Worldwide over 1.4 billion people live in countries where English has offical status. One out of five of the world’s population speaks some English. And at present one in five is learning English. With economic globalization and China’s opening up to the world, it has become increasingly important for the younger generation to master English. In a sense, English is not teachable, but learnable.2. Language learning strategies: They are used by learners to complete speaking, reading, vocabulary, listening or writing activities presented in language lessons. Recognizing that there is a task to complete or a problem to solve, language learners will use whatever strategies they possess to attend to the language-learning activity. Possible language learning strategies include: using practice opportunities, self-evaluation, selective attention, time management, reviewing notes taken in class and checking one’s understanding, constantly seeking answers to questions instead of passively receiving information, ect.3. Input-output balance theory in language learning:Input in language learning refers to information read, seen or heard by the learner, while output refers to what the learner produces in writing or speaking. The input-output balance theory in language learning believes that one can learn a language well through maintaining a balance between input and output.Part II. Warm-up Activities:Step 1. Ss Introduce themselves and talk about new college life.Step 2. Topic-centered Discussion(Group work)1.Do you enjoy learning English?

As we try to understand the meaning of a word, we are also reminded of (它们的习惯⽤法) their idiomatic usage.Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four basic skills that (我们不断努⼒试图获得的) we are constantly trying to acquire. In order to improve the four skills, we are suggested to listen to English every day, (抓住⼀切机会说英语) seize every opportunity to speak, read widely (难度适中的材料) materials at a proper level of difficulty and write regularly. Listening and reading (为我们提供语⾔输⼊) provide uswith language input and we are expected to (实际运⽤我们所学的东西) put what we have learned into practice through speaking and writing.Structure:A strategy refers to a set of carefully planned methods for achieving something that is difficult and may take a long time.In introducing some strategies, the author adopts the structure of Problem—Strategy within a paragraph to show us the problems in English learning and then proposes strategies to solve the problems.

Every teacher probably asks himself time and again: What are the reasons for choosing teaching as a career? Do the rewards teaching outweigh the trying comments? Answering these questions is not a simple task. Let's see what the author says.Why I TeachPeter G. Beidler Why do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn't want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a "step up" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power. Certainly I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. Sweaty-palm, because I'm always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual. Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share. Sometimes I am amazed that my students actually take notes on what I say in class! Why, then, do I teach? I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing. I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change —— and, more important, my students change. I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, I'm my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can't? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures. I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions. I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I once taught a course called "Self-Reliance in a Technological Society." My 15 students read Emerson, Thoreau, and Huxley. They kept diaries. They wrote term papers. But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a run-down house and practiced self-reliance by renovating it. At the end of the semester, we would the house, repaid our loan, paid or taxes, and distributed the profits among the group. So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning. I have left out, however, the most important reasons why I teach. One is Vicky. My first doctoral student, Vicky was an energetic student who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet. She wrote articles and sent them off to learned journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me. But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won a fellowship to Harvard working on a book developing ideas she'd first had as my student. Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then switched to English because he decided he liked people better than things. There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project. I was here when she came back. I was there when she told me that she later became interested in the urban poor and went on to become a civil rights lawyer. There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more by intuition than most of us learn by analysis. Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college. These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe. A "promotion" out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, "What is the point of being rich?" And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters? But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better. I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.

Unit 3 The PresentI. Background information1. Traditional Birthday Celebration in Western CountriesIn the West, it is customary to hold a party in celebration of a person’s birthday. The guests will come to the party with birthday presents and say “Happy Birthday” to the birthday person.The guests then watch him or her open the presents and he or she thanks them for the presents they have brought. At the party drinks and food are served. Toward the end of the dinner the lights in the room are turned off, and someone comes in from another room with a cake on which are lighted candles, one for each year. At the sight of the cake the guests begin singing “Happy Birthday to You” and the birthday person makes a wish before he or she blows out the candles on the cake. It is said that the wish will come true if all the candles go out in one puff.After that, the cake is cut in slices usually by the birthday person, one piece for each guest.When the party comes to an end, the guests wish the birthday person “Happy Birthday” again and leave.2. Important birthdays in the WestAt 21, the age of majority (now lowered to 18 in many countries), one becomes an adult.Usually the family has a big party for the new adult and a major present—an expensive watch ora car—is given him or her. The present, of course, various from family to family.Any birthday past 70 is celebrated in a special way by family members just because the birthday person is getting old and may die before another birthday comes round. That is why the author of The Present says “eighty was a special birthday”.And then, 100—the centennial birthday—is generally regarded as an unusual occasion because few people reach it. The centenarian may even receive a telegram or a letter of congratulations from prominent political figures, such as the Prime Minister and the Queen if the anniversary is celebrated in Britain. Again the family may hold a party attended by relatives and surviving friends as well. Among other things the centenarian takes delight in counting great grandchildren and grandchildren at the party.Ⅱ.New Words1.rare: adj. not happen / see often; (of a substance, esp. atmosphere)thin, not denseExample: Environments were able to preserve the rare turtle before it reached.Natural resources are rare in this region.The higher we go above the earth, the rarer the air is.Would you like it rare, medium, or well-done?★rare / scarce① rare: 长期缺少而珍贵的东西,还可以表示“频率低的,罕见的,缺少的”如:a rare book 珍本,a rare metal稀有金属。
