牛津译林版高中英语选修八Unit 2《The Universal Language》(Word power)教学设计板块：Word powerThoughts on the design:本节课是以说、读为主的词汇教学课。

第一，依照学生认知规律设计教学，从他们周围耳熟能详的情况谈起，着眼点低且容易，让每个学生都能融入到课堂教学中来，为后面知识的输入作好预备；其次，由于本单元word power生词较多且有一定难度，因此这节课应立足在培养爱好、扩大视野之上，以丰富多彩的图片有效辅助，帮学生把握并认知词汇；再次，知识的输出是认知过程中重要而不可缺少的一环，通过此环节查缺补漏，巩固教学成果；最后，词汇教学不能单纯地教授词汇，教学过程中的师生间的有效的情感互动能够关心学生更快更好地吸取所学，而教学要紧过程中多问几个“什么缘故”——由这些词汇想到什么？能用它们表达什么？什么时候使用它们？——关心学生解决“如何用”的疑问。

Teaching aims:After learning Word Power, the students will be able to learn words and expressio ns related to musical instruments.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Warming upTeacher plays several pieces of music and asks the students to tell the different musical instruments.Teacher asks the students which musical instrument they like most and motivates the students to think about the theme of each piece of music.[Explanation]用几段有显著识别度的音乐导入，学生的回答“钢琴，吉他，小提琴”引入主题Music is a universal language.Step 2 Getting to know music instruments (PPT4—9)The students will be working i n groups to write down the musical in struments they’ve known.Teacher shows different pictures of musical instruments and helps the students with the new words if any.Teacher asks whether these musical instruments belong to the same type.The students will be given some time to read the text on page 22 to find the names for the different groups of musical instruments: str ings, woodwinds, brass and percussion.[Explanation]“头脑风暴”学生分小组把他们差不多把握的有关乐器的词汇列在纸上，请最快的一组同学读出他们的列表，其他组同学在他们展现时，划去相同的项目，之后，其他组学生可作补充。

Now, let’s e to Part D. Next time while watching the concert, be aware of these musicalwords: 258 time: 6’City people usually think they are alot smarter than country people. They often laugh at simple country ways. But people do not laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today.Perhaps it is so popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events, love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories the way people really talk. As life bees more and more plicated, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.Country music, sometimes called country-western,es from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play guitars,and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II,thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories.They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned to like country music.Slowly it became popular all over the world. Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada,in small towns and in New York City,among black and white, and among educators and uneducated people.About 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. People sing it in their languages. The music that started with cowboy and poor farmers is now popular all over the world.。
