Of all of S haw’s plays，Pygmalion is without the doubt the most beloved and popularly received. Several film versions have been made of the play，and it has even been adapted into a musical. In fact，the film version of 1938 helped Shaw to become the first and only man ever to win the double prize: the Nobel Prize for literature and an Academy Award. Do you still remember the story？Now who can retell it to all of us？A sample retelling version:Pygmalion was a gifted artist. One day，he decided to make a stone statue of a beautiful woman. After that，he spent day and night carving it，and then he clothed the figure，gave it the jewellery，and even named it the Sleeping Love. How he wanted to bring it to life and made it his wife. Therefore，he asked the Greek Goddess to make it alive. And finally the Goddess was moved by his sincere feeling. His wish was granted. Pygmalion threw himself to his feet，the girl smelt down at him. Afterwards，they loved each other and married.T: Can you tell me the theme of the story？S: People tend to behave as you expect they will.T: Excellent！Based on classical myth，Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion plays on the complex business of human relationships in the social world. Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins tutors the very Cockney Eliza Doolittle，not only in the refinement of speech，but also in the refinement of her manners. When the end result produces a very ladylike Miss Doolittle，the lessons learned become much more far reaching. OK，today we will read a story about it. It’s written by t he famous English playwright，George Bernard Shaw.Step ⅡReadingDeal with the Reading part. Play the tape for the students to listen. Then analyze the play. Ask the students to read through the text. While reading，pay attention to the writing style.SkimmingAsk the students to read the play quickly and answer the questions.T: Now please read the play. After a few minutes，I’ll ask you some questions.After a few minutes.T: Who would like to answer the first question: How many characters are there in the play？S1: There are three characters in the play. They are Eliza，Professor Higgins，and Colonel Pickering.T: What is the weather like when the play begins？S2: When the play begins，it is pouring with rain.T: Very good. Do you think Eliza a well-educated woman？Why？S3: No，I don’t think so. In fact，she is poor-educated. We can know it clearly from what she said. For example，come over’ere，cap’in，and buy me flowers off a poor girl. For another，I ain’t done nothing wrong by speaking to that ge ntleman.T: Also，we can learn it from her behavior. For example，“pushes it back at him.” OK. Next one: Why did professor Higgins want to make notes of what Eliza said？S4: He wanted to make a speech，because it’s his profession.T: Very good. Next: What’s the meaning of “the age of the newly rich”？S5: It means people begin their working life in a poor neighborhood of London with 80 pounds a year and end in a rich one with 100 thousand.ScanningAsk three students to read the play.T: Next I will ask three students to read the play again. One will be Eliza，one Professor Higgins，and one Colonel Pickering. OK？Now begin！After several minutes.T: Great. Now I have some more questions. First: According to Higgins，if a person is very poor，he or she can still be better off at last. Do you agree with him？If so，how to realize the aim？S1: Yes. I agree with him. However，in order to realize the aim，he or she must get educated. T: Who can complete the last sentence: in the first line on page 29: Now once taught by me...？S2: Let me try. Once taught by me，she will soon become a lady in the upper class.T: Well done. What other things show one’s statue in society apart from how one speaks？S3: One’s clothing and behavior can also show his statue.T: Do you think Pickering is of the upper class？S4: Yes. I think he is well educated. We can learn it from the way he speaks. For example，“May I ask？”T: Great！Now please listen to the tape carefully and try to catch the main idea of this act.Step ⅢComprehendingThis time the students should listen to the tape as carefully as possible. They should not only pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation but get the main idea of the play as well.T: Pygmalion is a play about recognizing a person’s position in society by the way they behave and speak.Step ⅣDiscussionAsk the students to do Part 5 on page 31.T: Suppose you have a chance to help Eliza improve her use of the English language. Look at the sentences on page 31 in Part 5 and help her correct all these sentences in terms of grammar，spelling，etc，so that she can use them properly.Sample answers:1. Come here，and come in. Buy flowers from me—a poor girl.2. I did nothing wrong when I spoke to that gentleman.3. I thought you maybe was a policeman in disguise.4. How do I know whether you wrote down my words or not？5. You say I can work as a shop assistant？That’s definitely what I want.Then ask the students to read the play again and do Part 2 on page 31.T: We have learned that the social position of the characters influences the way they behave to each other. Generally speaking，people are more polite to those whom they think are of a higher social class (H) and less polite to those they consider are members of a lower class (L). Is this trueof the characters in Shaw’s play？Now please finish Part 2 on page 31. Sample answers to Part 2:Step ⅤHomeworkT: Today’s homework:1. Read the play repeatedly and try to act out the play.2.

The Pygmalion in this film is Henry Higgins (Harrison), a linguist and phonetic expert who believes that speech is what really sets the classes apart. He bets with his friend Colonel Pickering that through a change in dress and speech, he can turn the lower class Eliza into a lady that will fool high society. The only thing in the bet for Eliza is that she might be able to open her own flower shop and somewhat escape her lower class roots.Step Ⅱ ReadingHave the students read the play carefully and then answer the following questions.After a few minutes.T: Now answer my questions.

S6: Although Eliza is not a servant, from her deep heart, she looks down upon herself, and think she is in the lower class. But Henry is in the higher class. So I think she collects his slippers willingly.T: Why does she throw the shoes at him?S7: Because Henry looks down upon her, which deeply hurts her. She is very angry. T: Why does Henry think he wins the bet?S8: Because he thinks it is he who makes Eliza attractive in the party.T: Why does Eliza get upset when Henry does not congratulate her?S9: Because in Eliza’s opinion, it is she that tries her best to make other people attracted to her.T: Why does Henry get upset when he hears Eliza will marry Freddy?S10: In fact, he loves Eliza, I think.After that, the teacher can lead the students to have a discussion about the ending of the play.

If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband?About ten minutes later, ask the students to present their answers.Sample answers:I think Eliza will marry neither Freddy nor Henry. After all Freddy does not know the past of Eliza. If one day Freddy learns about that, he will not accept all of this. He belongs to the upper class and maybe in his deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I think he is very greedy and proud. He only treats Eliza as his bet. He only wants to prove he is capable, although at last he falls in love with Eliza. However, when he truly marries Eliza, the selfishness will again appear. He will not become a good husband. As a matter of fact, Eliza has become a confident girl after experiencing these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last.Step ⅢHomeworkT: In Act Two, Scene 1, Eliza went to Higgins’ house for help while Colonel Pickering was there. Higgins decided to begin his experiment. He first wanted her to take a bath and then discussed with Pickering about how to teach the girl. Today’s homework:1. Read the play once again.2.

Unit 4 Pygmalion皮格马利翁效应指的是人的情感和观念会不同程度地受到别人下意识的影响。

人们会不自觉地承受自己喜欢、钦佩、信任和崇拜的人的影响和暗示。

而这种暗示，正是让你梦想成真的基石之一。

Pygmalion EffectA team can do as well as you and the team think they can.This idea is known as“the self­fulfilling prophecy〞．When you believe the team can perform well，in some strange and magical way they can.And similarly, when you believe they can't perform well, they can't.The self­fulfilling prophecy is also known as the Pygmalion Effect.This comes from a story by Ovid about Pygmalion, who created an ivory statue of his ideal woman.And he immediately fell in love with it.He begged the goddess to breathe life into the statue and make her his own.She granted Pygmalion his wish, the statue came to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw's play “Pygmalion〞．In Shaw's play, Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a duchess.But, as Eliza herself points out to Higgins' friend Pickering，it isn't what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess，but how she's treated.“You see，really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she's treated.I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will, but I know I can be a lady to you because you always treat me as a lady，and always will.〞The implication of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive.It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect: which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said，“Treat a man as he is and he willremain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.〞1．prophecy n．预言2．implication n. 运用3．massive adj. 巨大的判断正(T)误(F)1．George Bernard Shaw's play “Pygmalion〞is based on the story about Pygmalion.()2．Pygmalion effect can be used in many aspects.()答案：1.T 2.TSection ⅠWarming Up & Reading－Preparing根据提示写出如下单词1．vi.犹豫；踌躇2．adj. 带来麻烦的；使人心烦的3．n. 结果；效果4．adj.

Unit 4 Pygmalion Section Ⅰ Warming Up &amp；Reading-Pre-readingPygmalion is a play based on the Greek myth of the same name. It tells the story of Henry Higgins， a professor of phonetics， who makes a bet with his friend， Colonel Pickering， that he can successfully pass off a Cockney flower girl， Eliza Doolittle，as a refined 文雅的society lady by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent and training her in etiquette礼节. In the process， Higgins and Doolittle grow close. However， because of the pride of Huggins， Doolittle cannot feel Huggins's care to her. Ultimately 最后， when she declares that she will leave Huggins and marry the other young gentleman； Higgins at last realized how much he needs Doolittle and how important Doolittle is. This play is based on Pygmalion，a sculptor 雕刻家 from Greek Mythology who was a known misogynist 厌恶女人的人—a trait性格somewhat shared by Prof Higgins in this play. It is a story about how a girl changes from the gutters 贫民区 to a society lady. But what more important is that it is Doolittle's self­respect and hard­working that really win the esteem 尊重；好评 and love from Huggins.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading —Pre­reading [原文呈现][读文清障]PYGMALIONMAIN CHARACTERS：Eliza Doolittle(E)：a poor flower girl who is ambitious to① improve herself②Professor Higgins③ (H)：an expert in phonetics④， convinced⑤that the quality of a person's English decides his/her position①be ambitious to do sth.立志做某事②who 引导限制性定语从句，修饰 a poor flower girl。
