Unit 1 When was it invented ?教案【学习内容】Grammar Focus, 3a, 3b and 4 of Unit 1 When was it invented ?【学情分析】本节课学习任务是完成课文Grammar Focus, 3a, 3b and 4 部分的学习。
本单元要求学会谈论重要发明的历史及用途,然后针对各项发明的用处及特点,发表自己的看法,并说明理由。
话题一直是围绕着历史上和日常生活中的重要发明,通过使用“Passive V oice”形式的句型,循序渐进地展开讨论。
课本设计的活动情景能够自然地引发学生的好奇心,大家积极地投入到话题讨论中,寓教于乐,容易引起学生的兴趣;同时,它也有利于开阔学生的思路,培养创造精神,展开丰富的想象力,人人都能成为“小发明家”。
学生在第一课时学习了本单元的Section A 中的1a至2c部分,基本能听懂、会说本单元要求掌握的部分重要词汇;在图片,相关信息等提示的帮助下,能较好地运用重要句型和掌握主动语态和被动语态及相互转换。
但是本班的学生两极分化比较严重,有一部分学生基础知识不牢固,前面提到的学过的单词和句型就忘得差不多了,特别是对于课文中的语法—主动语态和被动语态,被动语态的一般现在时和一般过去时混为一谈。
所以教师在课堂教学中应面向整体,及时复习相关的知识,包括重要词汇和句型,前后知识的衔接。
同时在设计上要注意活动的多样性,激发他们的兴趣,让每一位学生能得到不同程度的收获。
【单元整体目标】重点词汇:salty, sweet, sour, crispy, pleasant, potato chips, slipper, leaf, fire, scoop, light bulb, microwave oven, abacus, camera, beverage, be invented by, be used for, by mistake, by accident重点句型:When was the telephone invented? I think it was invented in 1876.技能目标:能够谈论发明的历史和用途。

True or FalseDirections: In this part, you are given thirty statements about English teaching. Read these statements carefully and decide whether they are true or false. Mark “A” for “True”, “B” for “False”on the Answer Sheet for the objective items (30 points; 1 point each).21.The understanding of the nature of language provides the basis for a particularteaching method. Different views on language generate different teaching methodologies.22.Discourse features include aspects such as: the way the text is organized, itslayout, the style of the language and the register23.Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form ofbehavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as cognitivism.24.The goal of communicative language teaching is to develop students’communicative competence, which includes both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations.25.In Hymes’s words, there are “rules of use without which the rules of grammarwould be useless”, which simply means, besides grammatical rules, language use is governed by rules of use.26.Generally speaking, in communicative language teaching, the teacher is afacilitator of students’learning. His role is less dominant than in a teacher-centred method.27.Stress and intonation are as important as the sounds themselves and should betaught from the very beginning.28.Task-based Language Teaching is, in fact, a further development ofCommunicative Language Teaching. However, it stresses the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching.29.An important feature of today’s language classroom is that students do not alwaysstudy as one big group. Rather, for much of the class time, students are broken down to groups of different sizes. The most common student groupings are whole class work, pair work, group work, and individual work.30.It is very important to make students aware that not all words are equallyimportant and that effective ways of vocabulary learning help to reduce forgetting.31.The presentation stage of the PPP model is for the teacher to present the newlanguage to the students in meaningful contexts and make sure they understand what it means and how it is used. So this stage is usually teacher-controlled and there is much emphasis on accuracy at this stage.32.Good teachers plan their classes minutely so that everything they do isprearranged, and once they are in the classroom, they follow their plan without deviation.33.An important type of pre-reading activity is setting the scene, which meansgetting the students familiarized with the cultural and social background knowledge relevant to the reading text.34.The way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transitiondevice. In teaching reading, when information in text form is transferred to visual form, it can be more effectively processed and retained.35.Role-play is a very common language learning activity where students playdifferent roles and interact from the point of view of the roles they play.36.A PPP cycle leads from accuracy to fluency, a TBL cycle leads from fluency toaccuracy (combined with fluency).37.When a communicative activities starts, the teacher is left nothing to do, sincenon-teacher-intervention is important in a genuine communicative activity.He can sit in front of the class and do some private reading until the time is up. 38.Post-reading activities usually contribute to the development of all the languageskills and may involve using other skills than just reading.39.Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many interrelated aspects besidessounds and phonetic symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm.40.Children do not learn grammar rules when they acquire their first language, sothey do not need them either when learning a foreign language. 41.The bottom-up model of teaching reading reflects the belief that one’sbackground knowledge plays a more important role than new words and new structures in reading comprehension.42.There are many opportunities to integrate listening with the practice of otherlanguage skills, especially at the post-listening stage.43.The fact that speech is spontaneous means that it is full of false stats, repetitions,incomplete sentences, and short phrases.44.The theory of multiple intelligences implies that our teaching should be able todevelop as much as possible students’different potentials in their intelligences, giving everyone the chance to demonstrate and use their potentials to the fullest possible.45.The process approach to writing does not only pay attention to what students dowhile they are writing, it also attaches great importance to what the students do before they start writing and after they finish writing.46.Although popular, the three P’s model is not always applicable in var iouslanguage classes, especially the skill-oriented lessons.47.Making errors will lead to bad habit formation, so we should correct themwhenever they occur.48.Teachers have the responsibility to provide multiple opportunities for theirstudents to develop different learning styles.nguage acquisition is a subconscious process where language is acquired as aresult of natural and largely random exposure to language.50.In the following activity the teacher acts as an assessor:T: Do you have any hobbies?S: Yes, I like singing and dancing.T: Uhm, and …?S: I also collect coins.III. Short Answer QuestionsDirections: In this part, there are two questions about English teaching. Choose ONE of them and write down your answers in brief. You will be assessed in the points you present and the way you present them (15 points).1. What are the reasons for using group work in the language teaching classroom,especially in speaking tasks?2. Some teachers say, “During a communicative activity, whenever a teacher findsa mistake, no matter in what sense, grammatical or cultural or any other aspect,he should stop the student and correct it.” Do you think it is the correct thing for the teacher to do in class? Give your reasons.IV. Lesson PlanningDirection:Suppose you are to teach a class of 40 senior middle school students. Design an outline lesson plan of the first 45-minute period for the reading text given. Make sure you include clear objectives, reasonable procedure (stages and steps), assumed time, organization type, clear instructions, teaching aids, etc.(25 points).安庆师范学院2007—2008学年度第二学期期末考试《英语教学理论及方法》(B卷)主观题答题纸院系班级姓名学号□□□□□□□注意事项1.本试卷共四大题, 第I 、II大题做在客观题答题卡上,第III 、IV大题做在此答题纸上;客观题答题卡上准考证号码为00+学号,如,001205001。

聊天不能太死板英语作文当然,我会尽量写得活泼一些,也保证篇幅不低于800字。
In today's interconnected world, communication has become more diverse and dynamic than ever before. Whetherit's chatting with friends, engaging in professional discussions, or expressing oneself creatively, the use of language plays a crucial role. In this essay, I will delve into the importance of flexible language use and how it contributes to effective communication.First and foremost, flexibility in language allows individuals to adapt to different social contexts. For instance, in informal settings such as chatting withfriends or family members, using colloquial language, slang, and emojis can add a sense of warmth and familiarity to the conversation. On the other hand, in formal settings like business meetings or academic presentations, employing a more professional tone with precise vocabulary andstructured sentences is essential to convey credibility andexpertise.Moreover, being able to switch between different registers of language enhances one's communicative competence. Communicative competence refers to not only linguistic knowledge but also the ability to use language appropriately in various situations. This includes understanding cultural nuances, nonverbal cues, andcontext-specific communication norms. For instance, when interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds, being aware of their preferred communication styles can prevent misunderstandings and promote mutual understanding.Furthermore, flexible language use fosters creativity and innovation. Language is not merely a tool for conveying information but also a medium for expressing emotions, thoughts, and ideas. By experimenting with different linguistic styles, metaphors, and rhetorical devices, individuals can craft compelling narratives, persuasive arguments, or artistic expressions that resonate withothers on a deeper level. This creativity is especially valuable in fields such as literature, advertising, andpublic speaking.In addition to spoken language, the advent of digital communication platforms has further diversified the ways people interact with language. From social media posts to instant messaging apps, individuals have embraced new forms of expression that blend text, images, videos, and memes. This digital language landscape offers both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, it requires adapting to shorter formats, visual storytelling, and internet memes to engage with online communities effectively. On the other hand, it opens up avenues for global communication, cross-cultural exchange, and collaborative creativity on a scale never seen before.However, with this linguistic flexibility comes the responsibility to use language ethically and responsibly. In an age of misinformation and online toxicity, the words we choose can have a significant impact on others. Therefore, promoting digital literacy, critical thinking, and respectful communication practices is essential to harness the full potential of flexible language use whilemitigating its potential risks.In conclusion, language is a dynamic and versatile tool that shapes our interactions, perceptions, and experiences. By embracing linguistic flexibility, we can navigatediverse communication contexts, unleash creative potentials, and foster meaningful connections in our personal and professional lives. As we continue to evolve in a rapidly changing world, let us cherish the richness of language and harness its power for positive communication and understanding.。

英语4级组成部分Here is an essay on the topic "Components of College English Level 4" with more than 1000 words:College English Level 4 is a critical milestone in the journey of language learning for many students in China. This standardized test, often referred to as CET-4, evaluates the proficiency of English language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. As an integral component of the college curriculum, CET-4 plays a pivotal role in shaping the academic and professional trajectories of students.The listening section of CET-4 is designed to assess a student's ability to comprehend and interpret spoken English in various contexts. This section typically includes dialogues, interviews, lectures, and news reports, covering a wide range of topics from daily life to academic and professional settings. Students are required to demonstrate their understanding of the main ideas, specific details, and implied meanings within the audio passages. The level of difficulty in this section gradually increases, challenging students to hone their listening comprehension skills and adapt to different accents and speaking styles.The reading section of CET-4 evaluates a student's proficiency in comprehending written English. This section often comprises different types of texts, such as news articles, academic essays, and literary excerpts. Students are required to demonstrate their ability to identify main ideas, understand relationships between ideas, and draw inferences from the given passages. Additionally, they may be asked to complete tasks related to vocabulary, grammar, and text structure, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their reading abilities.The writing section of CET-4 is a crucial component that assesses a student's proficiency in written English expression. This section typically includes a writing task, such as a narrative, descriptive, or argumentative essay, where students are required to demonstrate their ability to organize their thoughts, use appropriate language, and convey their ideas effectively. The writing task is often based on a given prompt or scenario, challenging students to think critically and articulate their perspectives in a clear and coherent manner.The speaking section of CET-4 is a relatively new addition, reflecting the growing emphasis on oral communication skills in language learning. This section evaluates a student's ability to engage in spontaneous conversations, express their opinions, and respond to various prompts. Students may be asked to describe images, discusstopics related to daily life or academic studies, or engage in role-playing scenarios. The speaking section aims to assess the student's fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and overall communicative competence in English.Preparation for CET-4 involves a multifaceted approach that encompasses both academic and practical aspects. Students are encouraged to consistently practice their English skills, engage in extensive reading and listening, and participate in speaking activities to improve their language proficiency. Additionally, they may attend supplementary courses or workshops that focus on exam-specific strategies and techniques, helping them navigate the various sections of the test effectively.Beyond the immediate goal of passing the CET-4 exam, the skills and knowledge gained through this process have far-reaching implications for students' academic and professional trajectories. Proficiency in English, as demonstrated by a successful CET-4 performance, can open doors to a wide range of opportunities, including access to prestigious universities, international internships or exchanges, and employment in multinational organizations.

The comprehensive assessment of listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills not only evaluates their current proficiency but also serves as a catalyst for their continued growth and achievement. By mastering the various elements of this standardized test, students can unlock a world of possibilities, positioning themselves for success in their academic pursuits and future career endeavors.。
Learning English Language by Radio in Primary Schools in KenyaByFlorence Y. Odera (PhD)P.O.Box 2303, Kisumu, KenyaE-mail:Introduction and background informationOne of the objectives of teaching English in primary schools in Kenya is to enable the learners to communicate fluently, independently and accurately in English Language in every day life. (Kenya Institute of Education Primary syllabus vol, 2002). This means that at the end of Primary Education course, all pupils are expected to have acquired a sufficient command of English in spoken and written forms to enable them to communicate fluently, follow subject courses and textbook, and read for pleasure and for information. Being an integral subject in the curriculum, a declining standard of performance in English at primary level should worry many teachers and stakeholders in education sector, because when primary children join secondary schools with poor English language they will continue with poor knowledge of the language. Even though some researchers and linguistics (Ngonga 2002, and Bett 2008) have dedicated a considerable amount of time to unravel the cause of poor performance in English language, there is an urgent need for us to reflect on the causes and possible remedies to avert this situation. They noted that some of the factors as attitudes, lack of adequate resources, the growth of ”sheng”as well as use of mother tongue. Sheng was originally a slang language that blended Kiswahili and English, created by the children of Nairobi City living in Eastland area. Gradually this language incorporated other ethnic Kenyan languages. The interference of “Sheng” a street slang continues to havoc on the English language acquisition in primary and secondary schools and the children face a lot of problem with spoken English. At the beginning, “sheng” was confined to urban centres but it slowly infiltrated rural areas.The process of language acquisition entails learners to practice all the four skills in all contexts so as to grasp how to manipulate it. Spoken English has been overridden by “sheng” as most learners are comfortable using it than English. The use of sheng must be discouraged at all costs. For these reasons, the Kenya Government introduced schools radio lessons to enhance the teaching and learning of English language by reinforcing the teachers work, and to help them develop efficient communication skills in English language. It was also hoped that the use of radio lessons would help to improve students spoken and written English and also to set up a uniform standard of English in all schools in Kenya. Therefore, all primary schools were expected to incorporate radio lessons in teaching and learning English language.However, despite all the government effort to improve English language proficiency in primary schools through a policy of school radio Broadcast to schools pupils graduating from primary schools cannot communicate effectively in English language. It was therefore necessary to find out the extent of implementation of school radio program government policy in primary schools.Benefits of using Radio broadcast English lessons.Odera (2006) writing on the use of school radio program in schools, noted that radio technology is viewed by teachers as a useful tool for teaching and learning languages like English, French, German, and Kiswahili at all levels of education. Language programmes on radio helps to increase the students mastery of vocabulary and pronunciation as students learn to imitate the radio presenters. She further noted that if this learning resource is carefully selected and used, then learning becomes more interesting effective and meaningful.The use of radio lessons motivates the learners if they are used in such a way as to stimulate learning (Bates 1984). Radio also helps the learners and the teacher to avoid falling back to mother tongue. Broadcast lessons helps to simplify language teaching process and makes it perfect. Odera (2008) adds that broadcast helps to provide opportunity to provide stimulating and rehearsing communicative situation to be encountered outside the language classroom.Language is an integral part of human behaviour. It is a skilled behaviour which is only effective when two or more people are involved and more so in using audio or face to face communication, Since the introduction of school radio broadcast, the emphasis has been on role played by the classroom teacher who is expected to be a facilitator doing only what is directed by the radio teacher. The rationale is that learners benefit from listening to the well researched English lessons and learn the language taught by prepared radio presenters.Language therefore functions as a means of communication between two or more people. The sender is the teacher and the receiver (who are the pupils). The sender of the message (the teacher) may intend to instruct or direct learners. For example, when an English teacher teachers the preposition on -a pencil on the table and under the table the learner wi ll be shown and asked ‘’ is the pencil on the table? The classroom teacher also responds to the radio teachers’’ instruction. Therefore, before a teacher start teaching language to any child it is important to know what stage of language learning the child is and to be aware of what level of language learning the class has reached. This important because children who are taught in English for the first time experience problems to understand the words, sentences structures, phrases and pronunciation of words. School radio lessons are very useful and are used to improve the quality of learning new English words and to set up standard for the spoken and written English (Thompson 1982).Furthermore, school radio broadcast English program aims to assist teachers and pupils to develop further the necessary language skills which enable them to improve on their spoken and written English. It also aims to improve their command of the various sentences structure, vocabulary, various grammatical errors, structures encountered in primary English language and widening their horizon and scope in all subjects (Bates 1984).Experts in Linguistics have demonstrated that communicative competence in any language requires more than simply knowing pronunciation of word formation and vocabulary (KIE 2002). The learner needs to understand how to organise speech beyond the level of single sentences, about how the language is used in different situations (Odera 1996). Scholars Heininch Russell, Molenda and Smaldino (2002),noted the value of radio technology and recommended its use to increase and improve learners imagination and listening skills. They recognised the importance of radio as a medium that relies on a single sense (hearing) and with which listening is the only method of learnImprove students confidence in spoken EnglishThe use of radio has been widely argued to be capable of motivating learners to develop confidence to learn and communicate effectively in English Language. This includes listening to radio presents as they talk and pronounce different words correctly. This helps listeners to set up pattern of speech, phrase, and sentence pattern through distance learning (Odera 2006)English language is the base on which the whole school curriculum stands in Kenya. It is important to note that a child’s personal development stems from his/her ability to speak, to read, and to write. Learning to speak relies heavily on listening, and that all the linguistic skills can best be fostered when the child has experiences directly gained from listening and seeing.. Therefore, lack of set standard leads to confusion among teachers and pupils when they are teaching and learning English language. This has also been confirmed by a report in the East African Standard Newspaper of 19TH June 2010 which indicated that teachers of English are confused because primary schools books lack uniformity and standard format English books from different publishers give varying orders of adjectives. For example, in Longman publisher standard eight English books the order is listed as opinion, size, shape, age, colour, nationality and materials. But the progressive English for standard eight lists the order as size, general descriptions, age, shape, colour, material and noun. The same series for standard five gives the order as size, colour, material and noun in English. It is common to use more than one adjective before a noun that is are put in the right order according to type.The use of schools broadcast helps such pupils to learn the concepts and provides a uniform standard in teaching and learning English and removes any form of confusion in teaching and learning English. The program supports the teachers work because thebroadcast materials are well researched and produced by English experts (Odera 2008), would remove all these confusion and provide a uniform standard of.Theoretical frameworkThis study is guided by the work of (Bates 1984) who identified different aims and objectives of the use of Educational radio broadcast in teaching and learning which includes: to improve the quality of learning and education, extend educational opportunities through distance learning, improving the quality of classroom instruction, teaching communication skills and supporting teachers work as well up grade their qualification.Research questionsThis study was guided by the following questionsDo schools have functional radio sets?Are teachers using radio lessons in teaching and learning English language?What support materials are available for teachers to use during broadcast to schools? How do teachers prepare their learners to listen to broadcast lessonAre there factors affecting the use of radio in teaching and learning?MethodologyThe research design used was the descriptive survey design that included both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis. Area of study was Kisumu district and the participants consisted of 40 head teachers, 40 English teachers and 400 pupils. Saturated sampling technique was used to select head teachers and English teachers, while purposive sampling was used for pupils. Data was collected by use of questionnaires for pupils and English teachers, while semi-structured interview was used to collect information from head teachers. The population and sample of the participants are displayed in table one.Data collection instrumentsThe instruments that were used in collecting data from the participants were questionnaires and unstructured semi-structured interviews, but secondary data was collected by looking at the documents. Data collected was analysed by use descriptive statistics. This included the use of frequency counts, percentages, graphs and tables.Data AnalysisThe data analysis included use of qualitative and quantitative methods. The data obtained from interviews using semi-structured method, both basic descriptive statistics and qualitative techniques were used to demonstrate to readers the different groups of data, their characteristics, range and average. Similarly, qualitative data obtained from closed ended responses were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, and percentages, tables and graphical presentation where necessary (Gall& Borg 2006). All the research findings are presented in the following section.Research findingThe participants who took part in the study included head teachers, English teachers and pupils of standard seven. Participants experience with the use of schools broadcast in teaching and learning. The results showed that all head teachers had experience with the use of radio in classroom instruction. 50% of the English teachers had more experience but 30% had some experience while 20% of them had a little experience. Further analysis revealed that the teachers who had little experience were the ones who were new in the teaching profession and had not been exposed to school radio program.Availability of Radios and support materialsThe findings showed that Availability of radio sets in the study schools. The findings indicated that 50% of the schools had purchased radio sets. 10% had radio sets there not functioning and forty percent had no radio sets. Further examinations showed that some teachers used their own radio sets which they use to listen to schools broadcastEnglish lessons on their own and later they use the knowledge and the information to teach English later on.Head teachers’ response to the use of radio lessonsMost of the head teachers 50% reported that they provided teachers with radios and support material and schools broadcast time table. Another 40% of them indicated that they provided suitable classrooms but had not purchased radio sets and other support materials.English teachers use of schools radio lessonsOne of the objectives of this study was to identify the extent to which schools radio programs are used in teaching and learning English in primary schools. 40% of the English teachers reported they listened to radio English programmes with the learners at the time of the time of the interview, 10% of them indicated that they were planning to introduce radio lessons in teaching/learning English while, 10 of them did not have any plan to use radio lessons. The other 40% did not listen to schools broadcast.Preparation for the use of Broadcast to schoolsPreparation included having English subject syllabus, schemes of work incorporating English radio lessons. Only 20% of the English teachers had schemes of work indicated radio lessons. The other 50% had schemes of work without radio lessons but 30% had not prepared their schemes of work.Lesson planningThe results showed that only 20% of the English teachers had consistently had lesson notes, while majority of them did not prepare lesson plans but used radio in teaching and learning. Planning properly for a radio lesson is extremely important for the successful use of radio broadcast programmes in teaching and learning (Thompson 1982, Sharp 1985).Using radio to teach sentence structure,Most of the English teachers indicated that radio lessons helps to improve teaching and learning sentence patterns. The amount of use however, varied greatly. 20% of them reported using English radio lessons according to the Broadcast to school time table. 30% were frequent users of programmes once or twice a week. While 50% did not listen to English radio programmes. None of them reported using recorded versions of the broadcasts.Providing standard of spoken and written EnglishThe results indicated that radio broadcast lessons provide short sentences and short story to teach new words. This helps to pupils to improve mastery of the content and understand grammar and phrases. Most of the teachers reported that English radio lessons are presented in a good way. The programmes include music, songs and drama, and good points that relate to the syllabus. It teaches new words, pronunciation of words that improves learners spoken and writing skills. English teacher agreed that primary children who use mix language: Kiswahili, English and vernacular change the way they talk after listening to radio presenters. 30% of them praised the radio lessons because they are well prepared, presented and provide interesting and enjoyable learning experiences. 30% of them saw the program helping pupils to improve the spoken English language.Expanding knowledge of English languageEnglish teachers reported that when schools broadcast English programme is on all those listening whether school children or those at home benefits and learn the language as well. In this way radio helps to teach English language to all people in the country.The other use of English radio lesson reported by the teachers was that it motivates pupils to want to learn English language. The program stimulates thinking, imagination because radio uses music and different sound effects to make learning enjoyable. All the teachers acknowledged also that radio lessons act as a reference source which helps them to revise what they have taught. They also acknowledgedthat radio lessons provide them with correct usage of certain English words where an English text book is not available.Some of the pupils 60% also noted that radio teachers makes them feel confidence when they speak English language especially when the radio teacher ask them to repeat sentences, new words and the songs. Another teacher supported the pupils comment and said that when the radio teacher says something new, they write it down then we discuss this in the class after the broadcast. This helps them to increase their vocabulary. They also use the new words to write sentences. In this way they learn correct pattern of written and spoken words and not mixing with sheng.’ConclusionThis study established that some of primary school teachers in Kisumu District have access to schools broadcast and listen to English lessons. All the head teachers had experience with the use of school radio programmes. Most of them also purchased radio sets for use during broadcasts to schools program.50% of the English teachers listened to English radio lessons and valued the program very much. They also noted that Schools broadcast provide them with well research English language that helps to correct the confusion posed by different English text books they come across. This they believed helps to remove the confusion when they teach the subject. The pupils also acknowledged the benefits of listening to English radio lesson, and noted that they gain confidence when they speak English Language after listening to radio program and this helps them to avoid mixing English sentence with “sheng.” The study therefore recommends that all schools should listen to English radio programs. The Quality Assurance Officers from the Ministry of Education should ensure that English teachers use schools broadcast to help improve the quality of English in schools.ReferencesBates, A. (1984).

These new standards aim to enhance students' English language proficiency, critical thinking skills, and overall academic abilities. In this analysis, we will delve into the key changes and features of the 2023 English curriculum standards for national exam papers A and B.Key Changes in the New Curriculum StandardsOne of the key changes in the 2023 English curriculum standards is the increased emphasis on communicative competence. Students are now required to engage in more interactive and real-life communication tasks, such as role-plays, group discussions, and presentations. This shift from rote memorization to practical communication skills is designed to better prepare students for real-world language use.Another notable change is the integration of global issues and perspectives into the curriculum. Students will be exposed to a wider range of topics, including environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, and social justice. By exploring these global issues, students can develop a more nuanced understanding of the world and cultivate empathy towards others.Furthermore, the 2023 English curriculum standards place a greater emphasis on critical thinking and analytical skills. Students are encouraged to analyze and evaluate complex texts, formulate well-reasoned arguments, and support their opinions with evidence. Through these activities, students can develop their cognitive abilities and become more proficient in academic discourse.Features of the New Curriculum StandardsThe 2023 English curriculum standards for national exam papers A and B also feature a more integrated approach to language learning. Instead of compartmentalizing language skills, such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking, students are now encouraged to practice these skills in a more holistic manner. For example, students may engage in a reading and writing activity that involves analyzing a text and then composing a response.Another prominent feature of the new curriculum standards is the inclusion of authentic materials and tasks. Students will encounter a variety of texts, such as newspaper articles, podcasts, and videos, that reflect real-world language use. By engaging with authentic materials, students can improve their languageproficiency and develop a deeper understanding of English language and culture.Furthermore, the 2023 English curriculum standards emphasize the development of learner autonomy andself-regulation. Students are encouraged to set learning goals, monitor their progress, and reflect on their learning experiences. By taking an active role in their learning, students can become more independent and motivated language learners.ConclusionIn conclusion, the 2023 English curriculum standards for national exam papers A and B represent a significant shift towards a more communicative, global, and critical approach to language learning. By emphasizing communicative competence, global perspectives, critical thinking skills, and learner autonomy, these new standards aim to equip students with the necessary skills and competencies to succeed in both academic andreal-world contexts. It is hoped that these changes will not only improve students' English language proficiency but also foster a deeper appreciation for language and culture.。
When I was preparing the postgraduate entrance examination of NNU(Nanjing Normal University),some of these following concepts had been tested,but there's no specific or clear explanation in the textbook required by the university.As in preparing the second-round examination I read them in other relevant books, I wrote down here for your reference.Hope they are useful to some of you.1. Acculturation(同化过程)is a process in which members of one cultural group adopt the beliefs and behaviors of another group.2. Adjacency pair(相邻语对);a sequence of two utterances by different speakers in conversation. The second is a response to the first, such as question/answer sequences and greeting/greeting exchange.3. affix: a bound morpheme that is attached to a stem and modifies its meaning in some way.4. agreement (concord)(一致): a grammatical phenomenon in which the form of one word in a sentence is determined by the form of another word which is grammatically linked to it.

A word belonging to one part of speech is extended to another part of speech. It is also called functional shift or zero derivation.47.lexical meaning VS grammatical meaning(词汇意义与语法意义)The meaning of a sentence is carried by the words proper as well as by the patterns of word order that is part of the grammatical system of a language. The part of the sentence meaning contributed by words is called the lexical meaning and the part of sentence meaning that depends upon the way the words are put together is called grammatical meaning, in which the function words and the word order play a very important role.48.paralinguistic meaning VS non-linguistic meaning (副语言意义与非语言意义)In human communication, apart from the linguistic meaning conveyed by language itself,there are numerous paralinguistic meanings and non-linguistic meanings that are perceived simultaneously by the hearer. Paralinguistic meanings are those attached to the verbal expressions by quality of voice,tempo of speech,posture,facial expression and gestures. Non-linguistic meanings are thoseindicated by non-verbal noises such as cough, sigh, tongue-clicking, various kinds of body languages and different contexts of situation.49.denotation VS connotation (外延与内涵)Denotation is a straightforward, literal meaning of the word every member of the language speaking community will agree on. Connotation is not the basic meaing of the word but some emotive or evaluative meaings associated with the word by individual language users in their mind.50.linguistic relativity VS linguistic determinism (语言相对论与语言决定论)The Sapir-Wholf Hypothesis states that there is a systematic relationship between the grammatical categories of the language a person speaks and how that person both understands the world and behaves in it. It boils down to two principles: linguistic relativity and linguistic determinism.Linguistic relativity states that disctinctions encoded in one language are unique to that langage alone, and that there is no limit to the structural diversity of languages.Linguistic determinism refers to the idea that the language we use determines, to some extent, the way in which we view and think about the world around us. This concept has two versions; strongdeterminism and weak determinism. The strong version, which has few followers today, holds that language actually determines thought, whereas that weak version, which is widely accepted today, merely holds that language affects thought.。
中国本科生的英语水平In recent years, the proficiency of English among Chinese undergraduates has seen a significant improvement. The integration of English into the curriculum from an early age has played a crucial role in this advancement.Despite the progress, the focus on written English often overshadows the development of oral skills. Many studentsfind themselves proficient in reading and writing but struggle with speaking and listening. This gap highlights the need for a more balanced approach to language learning.The use of technology has become an invaluable tool in bridging this gap. Online platforms and language learning apps provide interactive and immersive experiences, helping students to practice and improve their spoken English.Cultural exchange programs and international collaborations have also contributed to the enhancement of English skills among Chinese students. Exposure to native speakers and diverse accents helps in understanding the nuances of the language.However, challenges remain. The pressure to achieve high scores in standardized tests can sometimes lead to rote learning, which may not necessarily reflect true language proficiency. There is a need to shift the focus towards communicative competence.To address these issues, educational institutions are encouraged to adopt a more holistic approach to English education. This includes incorporating real-life scenarios, encouraging peer-to-peer interactions, and providing opportunities for students to engage with the language beyond the classroom.In conclusion, while the English proficiency of Chinese undergraduates has made considerable strides, there is still room for growth. A more comprehensive and practical approach to language learning will be key to further enhancing their abilities.。
英语口语评价English proficiency is often judged by fluency, pronunciation, and the ability to convey thoughts clearly.It's not just about knowing the language; it's about using it effectively in conversation.For beginners, the focus is on building confidence and understanding basic phrases. They should aim to express simple ideas and ask questions without hesitation, embracing the occasional mistake as a learning opportunity.Intermediate speakers should work on expanding their vocabulary and grasping more complex sentence structures. They need to practice using idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms to sound more natural.Advanced learners should concentrate on refining their pronunciation and intonation to sound more native-like. They should also be able to engage in nuanced discussions and express abstract concepts with ease.In any evaluation of spoken English, the ability tolisten and comprehend is just as important as speaking. Active listening skills allow for better interaction and understanding in conversations.Non-native speakers often face challenges such as accent and cultural nuances. However, with consistent practice andexposure to various accents, they can improve their overall communicative competence.Lastly, the ultimate goal of spoken English evaluation should be the ability to communicate effectively in a variety of social and professional settings, demonstrating not just linguistic skills, but also cultural awareness and adaptability.。
英语的总结Summary of English (1000 words)English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 1.5 billion people using it as either a first or second language. It is the official language of many countries and is taught as a second language in schools across the globe. This linguistic dominance has made English a lingua franca for international communication and has contributed to its status as a global language.The origins of English can be traced back to the Germanic tribes that settled in Britain around the 5th and 6th centuries. Old English, heavily influenced by Germanic languages, was the earliest formof the language. Over the centuries, English went through various changes and was influenced by many different languages, including Latin, French, and Scandinavian languages.Modern English is characterized by a large vocabulary and complex grammar rules. It is an alphabetic language, with 26 letters in its alphabet. Unlike some other languages, English has a relatively simple phonetic system, with each letter generally representing a specific sound. However, English spelling can be challenging due to its historical development and the influence of other languages.English has four main skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening and speaking are considered the productive skills, while reading and writing are the receptive skills. These skills are typically taught in language classes, with an emphasis oncommunicative competence. English proficiency is often measured using standardized tests such as the TOEFL or IELTS.English is used as a medium of instruction in many academic fields, making it important for students seeking higher education. It is also the language of business and international trade. Many multinational corporations require employees to have a good command of English. English proficiency is also crucial for individuals who want to work in the tourism industry, as it allows for effective communication with tourists from different countries.English literature has a rich history and has produced some of the most renowned writers and poets in the world. Works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, and many others have had a significant impact on literature and continue to be studied and admired today. English literature provides a window into the culture, history, and values of English-speaking countries.The English language has also been greatly influenced by technology and the internet. The rise of social media platforms and online communication has led to the development of new vocabulary and language patterns. Emoticons, hashtags, and abbreviations have become common in informal online communication. English has also become the dominant languageof the internet, with the majority of online content being in English.Learning English as a second language can be challenging, as it requires a solid understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, there are numerous resources available for learners, including textbooks, online courses, and languageexchange programs. It is recommended to practice English regularly through speaking, reading, and writing to develop fluency and accuracy.In conclusion, English is a global language that is spoken by billions of people worldwide. Its importance in international communication, education, and business cannot be underestimated.

English is one of the languages which are generally and frequently used in the United Nations. It is an indispensable communication tool for the international airlines、 voyage and physical exercises area. It is also an important medium in international trade. Besides, it is an international language in the sciences. However, many Chinese people have difficulty in communicating with foreigners in English. So we need to improve communicative competence in spoken English. This article mainly talks about three issues: why we need to improve spoken English, communicate competence、the factors that influence it and the methods to improve it. Key Words:language; English; communicative competence; spokenEnglish0. IntroductionAs we all know that language is used to communicate with eachother and that’s what really counts. People need communicationin daily life. Besides, how to improve communicative competencehas always been a focus of study over the past decades. Whenpeople with different cultural backgrounds communicate witheach other, misunderstandings as well as conflicts will appear.The world is surrounded by objects. Communication activitiessatisfy practical need—material transformation or message communication as well as the process suitable for social rules. Communication is the prerequisite for the smooth and successfulrelationship among human beings and it promotes human beings development. This article attempts to focus on how to improvespoken English communicative competence. As English isbecoming more and more important, it is essential to know howto improve spoken English communicative competence.1. Definition of communicative competence.Communicative competence was put forward in the book <<AboutCommunicative Competence>> by famous American SocialistDell Hymens in 1971. It refers to the knowledge and abilityinvolved in putting language to communicative use. DellHymens thought languages an important means for social communication“must have its usage rules, otherwise, grammar will lose its meaning.” If a man gets communicative competence, he not only gets knowledge about languages rules, but also has the ability to properly use language in social settings. Communicative competence has something to do with the ability of communication with people.2. The importance of improving communicative competence in spoken EnglishThere is no doubt that English is the world’s most widely used languages. People regard as a language in one of three ways: as a native language, as a second language, or as a foreign language. English is spoken as a native language by over three hundred million people in the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and some Caribbean countries. As a second language, English is often necessary for official business, education, information and other activities in many countries.It is said that English has become the language of international trade and transport. Most airplane pilots traveling from one country to another communicate in English. All ships sailing on the oceans call for help by radio usingEnglish. It has been said that 60 percent of the world’s radio broadcasts and 70 percent of the world’s mail uses English. In the international sports community and in the international science community English is the most commonly used and the most widely used.Nowadays most Chinese students are studying English; however, only few students can communicate with foreigners in English. Since China has entered the WTO and held Olympic Games, English must be widely used in foreign trade. In the year of 2010, the World Exposition will be held; therefore a large number of people will come to China. Moreover, what is language for some people in fact seems to be a topic for practicing grammar rules and learning a set of words—the longer the words the better. That’s a little misguided; Language is for the exchange of ideas and for communication. Therefore, we need to improve communicative competence in spoken English.3. Factors to communicative competence in spoken English 3.1Cultural differencesDifferent countries have different cultures. As one of the most important communication tools language is used under certain cultural backgrounds and subjected to culture. That is to say, you should speak the right words in the right place andat the right time. Therefore we need to know something about cultural knowledge and customs. In usual communicative occasions, for instance, when foreigners are praised or given thanks, their common reaction is very happy and they will speak out their true feelings. When foreigners hear such praise, for instance, “ You are good at swimming.”they will usually say: “Thank you very much.” On the other hand, Chinese culture regards modesty as a virtue, so when Chinese are praised, they feel happy in the heart too, but they don’t tell their true feelings. For example, when a foreign friend says:“You swim very well indeed.”, according to our custom, we usually answer “Oh, no. I swim very badly. ”Such reaction is considered to be hypocritical by British and American people, so they don’t want to communicate with you, obviously it makes communicative purpose can’t come true. Another example is that Chinese people like to say:“吃饭了没有啊?”“您去什么地方啊?”when they say hello to their friends. Such words translated to English become “ Have you eaten yet?”“Where are you going?”. For those from English-speaking countries who only say “Hello”、“Hi”to their friends when they meet, the former sentence may let him or her feel that you want to treat him or her dinner, but you just say it and then go away, he or she willbelieve that himself or herself is tricked, then he or her may break off all relations with you. Obviously the latter sentence invades other’s privacy, even though they give you an answer reluctantly, they will whisper in their heart that they don’t want to talk to you any longer. Thus in turn may influence your success to communication.3.2 People’s quality and personalityAffection has an impact in people’s leaning and activity process. Obviously, communication, a man’s social attitude towards others, affairs, the purpose of communication、personal quality and personality are very important to put communication into practice and to succeed. On the one hand, it is well known that talking is the most used communicative activity for human beings. During the talk, we often come across someone who likes to play excessive attention to wording and to tell others what is right and what is wrong from their point of view, they may even like to become a winner in the argument. It is these people that always affect the communicative atmosphere. Because their communicative purpose makes others produce annoying feelings during the talk, therefore it influences the success of communication. On the other hand, a person’s quality and personality also affect communicative competence. The scholarA. Heber has done a research for the relation between the factor and foreign language learning. He found that people gradually establish a self-protect---self-respect screen during the process of knowing themselves. (Self-respect relates to communicative competence). Because a person who has strong self-respect could resist the threat of self-participation during the communicative process and the protective screen is comparatively lower, therefore it is good for them to communicate with others; on the contrary, a person whose self-respect is not so strong often establish a high psychological screen to protect the awareness of self-protection. And it is the psychological screen that inhibits the common communication with others. Take learning spoken English and phonetic symbols for example, for beginners, they will face such problems as not being able to speak English fluently and read phonetic symbol accurately, therefore people will laugh at them. This will threaten language itself directly. At that moment, those who have strong self-respect will have the courage to face threatening language towards them and become brave, and as a result they will improve expressive competence and pronunciation in spoken English. In contrast, those whose self-respect is not so strong, never speak out inorder to avoid threatening language towards them. So they will never achieve any progress.3.3 EnvironmentWe all know that a trying to improve communicative competence is a social process. Namely, it has deep connection with his or her social activities and environment. For instance, in some countries like India, Singapore and some African countries which regard English as its official language, English is considered as an important factor for attending school and applying for a job. Some schools even use English for teaching language. In order to adapt to the environment, learners are decided to master English. Nowadays the world is becoming a global village, so the international environment requires us to master English, especially improve our communicative competence in spoken English. When talking about the importance of the environment, our country’s famous translator and writer, Ye JUNJIAN says:“Because of the environment, his English will have some taste of Chinese English in his listening、speaking、reading and writing.”4. Methods to improve communicative competence in spoken English.4.1 Pay attention to the language cultureFirst of all, I’d like to tell a story. Once, an American was visiting the home of a Chinese. As the visitor saw the host’s wife, he said:“Your wife is very beautiful.” The host smiled and said :“Where? Where? ”—which caused the American’s surprise, but still he answered:“Eyes, hair, nose…”—an answer that the host found a bit puzzling. The surprise was caused by difference in culture. “Where? Where?” means “哪里!哪里!” in Chinese is a kind of humble saying. But the American understand it as “which parts of the body are beautiful?”Therefore, the reason for both sides’misunderstanding was different in customs and habits. Each was expressing and understanding what the other said according to his or her own culture. Different countries have different culture while culture influences languages. So if you don’t know its culture, it will cause misunderstanding and embarrassment. Thus it inhibits communication between each other. From this story, we can see that if we want to communicate with foreigners freely, we should learn and understand foreign cultures and acquire cross-culture communication ability. And this is really very important. Claire Kramsch clearly pointed out“language helps people express their views towards cultural reality and it is the carrier of culture.” In his book <<Language and culture>>,American famous litterateur, Edward Sapir said“There is something behind language, and it can’t exist without culture.” In view of this, I think we must study foreign culture and custom if we want to improve our communicative competence and have less difficulty in communicating with foreigners.Besides this, we need to cultivate the ability of thinking in English. Because when speaking to foreigners, we always thinking of the Chinglish. For example, when asking teachers to get in the lift or classroom , most students say:“You go first, or go first, please.”according to Chinese expressive habits. However, standard English expression is :“After you.”And students always make such mistakes, like “I very much like you”. The correct expression is “I like you very much’. So we should speak authentic English if we want to let foreigners understand exactly what do we mean. But how? First, listen to authentic English. While listening we should store things we listened and could be understood in our mind in English. Second, express in English directly. Through a series of active thinking activities to understand and output information. During this process, your spoken English will improve greatly.4.2 Conquer psychological factors and practice moreIt is a common thing that people are afraid of making mistakes. When they found they said wrong sentences or words, they feel it is a very embarrassing thing and will not say anything. And introverted people don’t like to express their views in public; usually they keep their view in mind. However, as a language learner, we should be ready to make mistakes and love to make mistakes and learn from the mistakes. But for a person to never make mistakes is impossible. As the saying goes “Failure is the mother of success.”, so we shouldn’t be afraid of failure. And as we know, if we want to communicate with someone, we must speak it out, even though we say something wrong, others may know what we want to express, so we need to conquer our psychological fears in order to express our thoughts clearly. We may know Demosthenes ’story. He was a very famous Greek orator, but he was born with a terrible stutter that made him shy and introverted. His father left him a vast estate, but according to Greek law he had to establish his right to ownership in public debate before he could claim his inheritance. His speech impediment and his shyness rendered him helpless in the debate and he lost his estate. Then, he went to work and by sheer, dogged effort, scaled oratorical heights never before reached by mortal man, He reportedly eliminatedhis speech impediment by putting pebbles in his mouth and practiced speaking aloud next to the roaring ocean. History neglected to record the name of the man who took his inheritance, but school children around the world have learned the story of Demosthenes for centuries. From this story, we can learn that if we keep on doing something, we will achieve success, let alone improving spoken English competence communicative competence.The way to learn a language is to practice speaking as often as possible. As proverb says, “Practice makes perfect”. Besides, a great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become, Keep English constantly in your mind by listening, speaking and reading every day! Constant exposure will make it much easier to master this language. If you review only once a week, you will have a hard time remembering what you’ve learned. I really appreciate Li Yang Crazy English. He says we should speak English loudly, clearly and rapidly. And I suppose this sentence“Be happy to lose face, you are not the shy person you think you are.”is very reasonable. For English learners I think we should have this spirit. And we could do anything if we have this spirit. Weshould have the courage to speak English. If you can not speak it out or you can’t say it very well, under this condition, you speak it boldly. After a period of time, you will be easily and clearly express your ideas. With the spirit of the venture to say that, you can find its way out of the spoken language difficulties.4.3 Create an environment of speaking EnglishIt is impossible for us to learn English well if we don’t put it into practice. In the process of learning English, we should always look for opportunities to speak English. We always wonder why it is more difficult for Chinese to learn English than for foreigners to learn Chinese. The answer is that they like to speak Chinese for learning Chinese; therefore they have a good language environment. However, we only speak English during English classes and we lack of a good environment for practicing spoken English. It is a good method to learn English by watching English movies, because it shows us the life、culture and customs in English countries. In the film we can learn the vocabulary of spoken English, phrases, sentence structure, as well as to express a variety of content. All we have to do is imagine that we have played a role in the film, experience our life and experience other people’s lives. Ina word, to see a movie is better than a day of life in the United Stated. We can also learn authentic spoken English from the movies. Besides, we can also take part in English corner in our leisure time. They will give you topics or we can choose some topics we are interested in and share our ideas with others. In my opinion, it is a good chance for us to improve our spoken English by attending English corner because everyone present in English corner will speak English, so there is a good language environment. There will be some interesting English games. We can not only learn some useful things but also delight ourselves. We could also make friends with someone whose spoken English is very good. We can talk to other people in English too. This talk will help everyone to learn English because we have the opportunity to use or knowledge of English to exchange ideas, strengthen knowledge, and transfer knowledge into skills at the same time, and also learn from other people there. We will try to think in English when ever possible and when we see something, we can think of the English word of it, and then think about the word in a sentence. We can make your friends proud by teaching them some English sentences. You can become an excellent teacher through tutoring your friends. Teaching is a great way to learn! Also remember, learning English canmake people happier, feel younger! In addition, don’t be afraid to ask for help. The more times you ask for help, the more powerful your English will become. Never hesitate to ask! Learn as much as you can from as many different people as you can! An eager student will always find a teacher!Conclusion:If we would like to raise our level of spoken English, we need to keep on thinking and practicing it in English, so that we can improve our speed and Chinglish can be avoided. We don’t need to think and understand it after hearing the English words or sentences. Through high-density long –term practice, our relevant English listening and speaking ability will be improved in 4-6 months. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practice more. Our hard work will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone! So just believe that if we have tried our best, we can make it! We can improve our spoken English communicative competence.参考文献:[1] Claier Kramsch << Language and culture>> Oxford University Press, New York 1988.[2]鲍志坤,也论外语教学中的文化导入。
