人教版高三英语 Unit 8 Learning a Foreign LanguageIntroductionIn the modern era of globalization, learning a foreign language has become increasingly popular and highly valued. The ability to communicate in multiple languages not only enhances one’s career prospects but also broadens one’s understanding of different cultures and perspectives. In this unit, we will explore the importance of learning a foreign language and the various strategies that can be employed to improve language proficiency.Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language1. Career OpportunitiesIn today’s interconnected world, proficiency in a foreign language can significantly increase job prospects. Many multinational companies and organizations prefer candidates who are bilingual or multilingual.

Cultural ExchangeLearning a foreign language provides an opportunity to explore and appreciate different cultures. Language is deeply intertwined with culture, and gaining proficiency in a foreign language allows individuals to understand the customs, traditions, and values of the target language’s speakers. This cultural exchange fosters mutual understanding and can lead to meaningful connections and friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.3.

新视野大学英语读写教程(第二版)第一册课文原文A\B及翻译.Unit 1Learning a Foreign LanguageP1Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.P2 My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.P3When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.P4However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.P5That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.P6Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.P7 I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.P8 Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。

Unit 8 Learning a foreign languageⅠ.Brief Statements Based on the UnitAs we all know,English is widely used in the world today.It is becoming an international language.In our country,English is taught as one of the main subjects in all middle schools.How can we learn English well so as to master it?After you learn this unit,you will surely find your answer.Unit 8 “Learning a foreign language〞,is a great help to the students who are now studying English.At the beginning,in Warming up,twenty-one methods of learning English are listed to let the students tell which are the most important and which are the second important.In discussing these methods,the students will judge and accept some of them.In addition,in Speaking,the students are required to give advice to six of their classmates,who all have difficulty in learning English.In the course of giving advice,the students can tell which way is the best and which they should avoid.While they are discussing and giving advice,their speaking ability will be improved greatly.In Listening,the students will be asked to listen to a radio show,called “Students’Corner〞.Two listening passages show different topics to let the students discuss.When they finish the exercise,the students will improve their listening ability.In Reading,the text “Learning a foreign language:twice as hard?〞is interesting,instructive and practical.By comparing learning mother tongue with learning foreign language,the students will realize that they are two different matters.In the fifth paragraph,the author describes how the successful language students learn a foreign language.The good ways to learn a foreign language are what most of the students want.At last,the article encourages the students to adopt the good method mentioned in the text and develop their own study skills.If so,everyone of them will become a successful language learner.Learning a foreign language will in fact become twice as easy and a lot of fun.A lot of useful words and expressions are contained in the text and exercises.So we must say that after learning the text,the students’reading ability as well as the ability to use useful words and expressions will be improved.In Word Study,different exercises give the students a good chance to master and apply the useful words and expressions appearing in the unit.In Grammar,different exercises are designed to get the students to further master the grammar item:the Subjunctive Mood.The last part of this unit,Integrating Skills is made up of two parts.One tells the students how to study abroad.From the demands to become an exchange student,advantages and disadvantages of doing this,to the detailed steps of going abroad,the author shows all these clearly.The other part requires the students to fill out an application and write an essay,telling us briefly about themselves and the reason why they want to go abroad.The students’writing ability will gradually be improved in the course of doing all this part.Ⅱ.Teaching Goals1.Talk about learning and study skills.2.Practise talking about attitudes and motivation.3.Practise giving advice.4.Review the Subjunctive Mood(Ⅰ).5.Write a personal essay.Ⅲ.Background InformationThe Way to Learn EnglishNow,have you all got your dictionaries?Yes?Well,pick them up and put them in the waste paper basket.Yes,the wastepaper basket.That’s how an American professor at one of China’s leading universities used to start her English reading course.And she got excellent results.The greatest harm done to students of English in China is Intensive Reading.I.R.is not really reading at all.It’s analyzing.It teaches students not to read but to use dictionaries and grammar books.It teaches very bad study habits which are hard to break.It does more harm than good.Chinese students read too slowly.The students of my class could read only about 150 words a minute at the beginning of the course.But the minimum requiement for an undergraduate college student is to read 300 words a minute.They may know every single word in a passage of English,but not grasp the meaning of the passage as a whole.If you read fast,you understand better.If you read too slowly,by the time you’ve reached the end of a page,you’ve forgotten what the beginning is about.Fast reading makes you concentrate on ideas.Intensive Reading makes you see the trees but not the wood.Through I.R. you may learn a little vocabulary but you won’t gain much information.Through Extensive Reading you can learn a lot of vocabulary and gain a lot of information.What if you come across new words?Don’t look them up in the dictionary.Guess their meaning from the context.You may not guess quite right the first time;but as new words come up again and again in different contexts their meaning becomes clearer and clearer.If they don’t come up often,there’s no hurry about learning them.They’re probably not important.You must get into the habit of guessing boldly.But don’t guess wildly.Guess with the help of your knowledge of grammar.Chinese students know plenty of grammar.Perhaps too much.But above all,guess from the context.That’s the way to build up your vocabulary—not poring over dictionaries or making lists of words and memorizing them out of context.If you look up every new word,you’ll never finish a book.Depend on your brain,not your dictionary.Perhaps in China today a little I.R. may be unavoidable.Why?Partly because for the moment we haven’t enough Extensive Reading books.Also because many of the books we have are hidden away on library shelves,gathering dust,instead of being brought out into the light of day where the students can get them.Almost 300 years ago.Swift,the author of“Gulliver’s Travels〞,wrote a work called“The Battle of the Books〞.What we need today is a “Liberation War of the Books〞,to liberate the books from the library shelves.We also need more simplified books;and more unsimplified books originally written in simple language.That doesn’t mean that the content should be childish.It’s no good giving children’s books to grown-up students.So our schools and educational departments need to assign a large staff to writing and simplifying books for Extensive Reading suited to different age levels and language levels.It might be best to have native speakers of English take part in this work and be hard to avoid Chinese-English.Meanwhile,if I.R. is allowed to exist,it should be cut down on size,put in its place,kept under control.It should not take up much of the students’or the teachers’time.It certainly should not be allowed such an unfair share of the timetable as it has now.Much talk by the teacher and little practice by the student is no way to teach language.It only teaches about language.And that is dangerous,for merely learning about language gives the student a false impression.It gives him the feeling that he knows the language when he doesn’t.Knowing without using is not knowing it at all.It’s deceiving oneself(but it doesn’t deceive others).In fact it’s very good to be able to appreciate good style.In fact this appreciation of other people’s style helps one to achieve good style oneself—but only after one has experience of using thelanguage—not just hearing a teacher explain it.In other words what is needed to the first two years of language study,is not hours of so-called Intensive Reading,but hours and hours of something else:Oral or Written Practice.The more of that,the better.Intensive Reading as it is generally taught is not a practice course;it is a lecture course.And nobody ever learnt a foreign language by listening to lectures on grammar and vocabulary.Ⅳ.Teaching Time:Four PeriodsThe First PeriodTeaching Aims:1.Talk about learning and study skills.Enable the students to further understand what is important in the study of a foreign language.2.Practise giving advice.Through practising giving advice enable the students to find a better way to learn English.Teaching Important Points:1.Enable the students to acquire a good way to learn a foreign language and raise their interest of studying English.2.Improve the students’ speaking ability by class activities such as talking,discussing,etc. Teaching Difficult Points:How to improve the students’ speaking ability efficiently.Teaching Methods:1.Talking method to enable the students to express themselves freely.2.Pair work or group work to make every student active in class.3.Careful listening to improve the students’ listening ability.Teaching Aids:1.a computer2.a courseware3.a tape recorderTeaching Procedures:Step Ⅰ GreetingsGreet the whole class as usual.Step Ⅱ Warming upT:Do you like English?Ss:Yes,very much.T:Do you find it hard or easy?Ss:We find it hard.T:In this class,we’ll talk about learning English first.Open your books at Page 64.Look at Warming up.Please read this part carefully and see what you should do next.You can have a discussion with your partner or in a group.A few minutes later,we’ll talk about it.(A few minutes later.)T:Are you ready?Ss:Yes,we are.T:Now please tell us which of the things listed above are the most important when you are learning English and why you think so.S1:I like English and I’m interested in studying English.I think that memorizing new words and useful expressions very important.Without large quantities of words and expressions,you canneither listen to nor speak,nor read or write English.S2:I think learning study skills is important as well.Take memorizing new words as an example,you should not memorize them word by word.I mean,it is not a good way only to remember many words but not to know how to use them.A lot of useful expressions are as important as the English words.The words“cut〞“out〞and “up〞are common to every English learners,but the phrases “cut up〞and “cut out〞are perhaps unknown to some English learners.If you can not remember a word or a phrase,try to remember a sentence which contains it.In this way,you can remember them easier.S3:I think to talk with my classmates or some other person is a good way to practise spoken English.Choose any topic and talk with anybody at any time,including my classmates,my friends or relatives.When we talk with someone,we should try to use as many English words as we can to express us or our opinions so as to make him/her understand.This is a good way to learn and apply English.S4:I think listening to the tape is important.If we often listen to the tape,we can correct our pronunciation and intonation,and improve our listening ability.Thus,we can learn English not only from books,but from the radio,TV and English films.S5:I think besides the good ways above,to make a study plan is another good way to learn English.Whatever we do,we should do it orderly.We have much to do every day,especially as middle school students.If we can’t arrange the things we should do orderly,we’ll waste some of our time and leave some of them undone.S6:I think practising writing in English is one of the most important ways to learn English.If we can keep on writing an English diary or sending an e-mail to our friends or classmates,we can review the useful words and expressions we have learned,improving our writing ability.S7:I think listening to the teacher is very important.In and out of class,our English teacher gives us many chances to let us listen to,speak,read and write English.He often tells us some good ways to learn English.If we can do as the teacher tells us to in class and finish the assignments the teacher asks us to do on time,I’m sure we can learn English better and better.S8I think talking to native English speakers must be a good way to learn English.If we have a native English speaker to work and study together,things must be quite different.We can communicate with each other as we like.Whatever he says will be a help to our English study.Any interesting topic is a good chance to practise our spoken English.He is sure to tell us more about English and England.I was told several days ago that an Englishman would come to our school and work as a teacher to teach us English.All of us are glad to hear that.....T:So much for this topic.Most of us like English because we know that English is a useful tool in the modern world and in international affairs.Where there is a will,there is a way.I hope all of us stick to it and work hard at it.In that way,we will be able to master it and use it in our future work.Step Ⅲ ListeningT:Let’s do listening.You are going to listen to a radio show called“Students’ Corner〞.This is a call-in show in which people can call and ask questions about the topic being discussed.Before listening to the tape,let’s see what we should do after we listen to the two parts.Now turn to Page 65,read the request,please.(After the students read the request.)T:Do you know what you should do after you listen to the passage?(Ss:Yes.)I’ll play the tape three times.When I play it for the first time,just listen.After I play it for the second time,I’ll give you enough time to write your answers.If you have anything you are not clear about,please listen to it for the third time.At last,I’ll ask some students to give their answers.Please be ready.Let’s begin....Step Ⅳ SpeakingT:Please look at Speaking on Page 65.Suppose some of your group members have some problems in learning English.Work in groups and help them solve their problems.What advice will you give them?Have a discussion in groups of four and make notes of what you say.A few minutes later,we’ll share your answers with the class.(A few minutes later.)T:Are you ready?Ss:Yes.T:Who will give some advice to Wang Lei?S9:I will.Wang Lei,you say that it is difficult to remember new words.I once had the same problem as you.With the help of a friend of mine,I gradually find some good ways to remember English words.Remembering is a process of repeating.We should not read or write an English word again and again.Doing some English exercises or reading some English newspapers,magazines or stories are all good ways to review English words.You can also try to make sentences or copy some good sentences which you are interested in from a dictionary as long as it includes the new words you want.You’ll not be tired of doing this.Put a new word in a phrase or a sentence,and you can remember it easier.Besides,pay your attention to the English words on things we use every day.That will increase your collection of English words.Try the ways above and you’ll succeed.Thank you.S10:(To Li Qiang.)You say you are not interested in studying English.I think you should not do so.“A foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of life.We often say we’ll make a contribution to our motherland.We have a long way to go,so you should not give up the“wea pon〞.You liked English once.So I think you should find the reason why you are not making progress.For example,English words are hard to remember or you have difficulty in speaking English,etc.When you find the reason,have a discussion with your friends or your teacher.Then you’ll find a way to solve the problem.I’m sure you’ll make greater and greater progress.S11:(To Fang Zhe.)I think we can improve our spoken English from two sides.Firstly,don’t be shy.To a certain topic we are discussing you should say whatever you want to say.Perhaps you’re afraid you’ll make mistakes.I think every one of us can make a mistake.Most of our classmates are friendly and they will not laugh at you or look down upon you.Secondly,you should do more practice in speaking English.Learn spoken English from films or on TV.Now there are many good English programmes on TV every day.Or you can buy some English tapes or VCDs.They are all good materials for you to practice.S12:(To Huang Mei.)I’m sorry to tell you that you are wrong.If we don’t learn English,we can’t learn advanced technology from foreign countries
