Unit 2 English around the world说课稿各位老师：大家好！我今天所说的课题是高中一年级英语上册第2单元English around the world。
我说课的内容包括五部分，包括教材分析，学生分析，教学方法，教学过程和板书设计。
一、教材分析1.教材内容分析今天我说课的内容是高一英语必修1第一单元English around the world.，本单元讨论的话题是“世界英语”介绍了英语在当今世界范围内人们生活中扮演的不同角色及其重要意义。
尤其介绍了英美语言的差异，让学生更进一步了解学好英语的必要性和其重要意义。
促使学生了解英美语言在词汇、拼写、语音等方面的区别。
使学生在认识到学好英语的重要性的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。
2、教学目标分析新课标提出了立体三维教学目标，本课我设计的教学目标如下：1）知识目标：熟悉本课的一些新单词,短语和句型。
语法方面掌握直接引语和间接引语的用法及其之间的转换，包括其中的请求与命令的用法。
2）能力目标：训练学生的阅读技巧（略读、寻读等），形成用英语获取信息、处理分析信息的能力。
并鼓励学生开口说英语。
3）情感态度目标：①通过学习激发学生对英语学习的浓厚兴趣；②使学生在领会语言丰富多彩性的同时更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。
培养他们的跨国文化意识和世界意识。
③通过对课文学习的小组讨论等形式，帮助学生养成团结、协作的品质。
3、教学重点、难点：1）教学重点：①让学生熟悉与本话题相关的一些重点单词、短语。
②提高学生的阅读能力，掌握多种阅读方法，如寻读，精读，理解等。
2）教学难点：对阅读中所获取的信息进行加工学习，形成有效的学习策略。
鼓励学生开口说英语。
二、学生分析高一年级的学生已经在初中阶段的英语学习中,已经积累了一定的词汇基础,并掌握了一些简单的学习策略和技巧,具有初步的英语听说读写能力。
但学生的英语水平参差不齐，教学既要进一步培养尖子的学习能力又要保证能力稍弱的学生能听懂，调动他们的积极性，使他们愿意学，在学习的过程中享受到乐趣。
the Road to Modern EnglishAt the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of Engli sh. Look at this example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to you apartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At fist the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was base more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its ownidentity? Only time will tell.通向现代英语之路16世纪末期大约有5百万至7百万人说英语,几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。
