English and Chinese.In this unit, we'll talk about English.Read the text on this Page and have a discussion with your partner. Discuss the questions in the text: What is it that Joe can't find in the bathroom? Why can't he find it? Who can tell us theanswer question? :It is the toilet. Why can't he find it? Perhaps when Joe says" bathroom he means a place where there is But in Nancy's eyes, it is where people can only have a bath. Am I right? As we know, Joe is an American, so he speaks American English. While Nancy is English, he speaks British English. That's to say, there are some slight differences between British English and American English. We'll discuss this further in the fourth period. You can read it after class to see how much you can under- stand it.III. Listening :Let's do listening. Please turn to Page9. Look at the picture and read the requirement.

(Ask some students to answer which sentences are orders, which are re- quests. ) Suggested answers Orders: 1,4,6 Requests: 2,3,5 T: From these sentences, we can draw such conclusions. If a sentence is an order, it often uses an imperative, namely, "sh. told/ordered sh. else to do sth. "If a sentence is a request, it often uses a question form or an imperative, but very politely, namely,"sb. asked sb. else to do sth. "But we should pay more attention to the negative construction.

Then we'll learn a text: American English and British English. We'll do some exercises about it as well. At last, we'll go over Check2 point of this unit. Now take out your exercise-books, please,. (The teacher checks homework. )(The teacher and the students go over the new words and expressions of this period. The teacher gives explanations when necessary. )Step ]I. Fast Reading:English is a young language. It grew from other languages, such as German and French. People began to write it down only six hundred years ago. Now it is spoken by people all over the world. From the last period we know there are more than 42 countries where the majority of people speak English. However English is not exactly the same in different countries. American people speak English, but it is a bit different from British English. Today, we are going to read about these differences. Please turn to Page 12. Read the text fast and find the answers to the questions on the screen. Do it as fast as possible and write your answers on a piece of pa- per. I'll collect the first five pieces. (The teacher shows the screen. ) Answer the following questions: 1. What is A merican English for “think" ? What did Noah Webster do make American English from British English?T: Who will give us the first answer?SA :I'll try. In American English "I guess" is used instead of "I think".T: Quite right. What is the second?SB: He changed the spelling of many words.Step III. ReadingT: Now read the text again. Read it carefully and discuss the following questions on the screen with your partner. Write your answers on a piece of paper. In a few minutes, I'll ask some pairs to give us the answers. (The teacher shows the screen. Answer the following questions..1. When did America become an independent country?2. Where did the word" fall" (meaning: "autumn")first come from?3. Can you give some examples to show spelling differences between American and British English?4. Is there any difference in written English in the two countries?5. What differences are there in spoken English in the two countries?6. Do you think that people from Britain and America can understand each! other?7. Why do you think so?8. How did the differences between British and American English come about?9. Which do you prefer, American English or British English? Why?(The teacher goes among the students, joins in the students' discussion and answers the students' questions. ) (A few minutes later. ) T: Have you finished? (Ss: Yes. ) Give us your answers, please. One student, onequestion, Volunteers !1. In 1776, America became an independent country.2. The word "fall" first came from England.3. Yes, I can. For example, the words "colour, centre and travelled' in British English are spelt" color, center and traveled 'in American English.4. Yes, In written English there are some spelling differences between British English and American English. And in some cases, different words are used for the same thing.5. Some words are pronounced differently in the two countries. For example, Americans say dance(daens], and in southern England they say. In America they pronounce not[-nat~; in southern England they say[-not~,and son on.6. Yes. Though there are many spelling differences, people from the two countries don't have much difficulty in understanding each other because written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America.7. There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England travelled to other countries, they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as the language used in England, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world to another. At last the English language became two variants --British English and American English.8. I prefer American English to British English because American English is easier to understand./I prefer British English to American English because British English sounds more beautiful.Now look at the screen again. I'll explain some words and expressions of the text so that you can use them freely. Pleaselisten to me carefully.Notes to the text:1. come about--happen, take placee. g. When John woke up, he was in the hospital, but he didn't know how that had come about.2.stay vi. --keep, remaine. g. The door stayed open all3. end up with--finish withe. g.

高一英语Unit2教案GoalExpressionPART ⅠWANMING UP (P8)What’s the difference between British English and American English? That’s what we will begin to know from this Unite. Please try to find the answers for the questions below1.What is the woman’s name and what’s the man’s name?Answer: The woman is Nancy. The man is Joe.2.What is the nationality of the woman and the man? Why doyou think so? = What is that Nancy thinks Joe wants? What is that Joe is looking for? Answer: The woman is from Britain while the man is from the United States of America.One speaks Britain English and the other speaks American English. The man says:”Could I use your bathroom?”What he means is:”I want to go to WC.”But that’s not Britain English. Britain people say:”I want to go to the lavatory.” or “I want to go to WC.” In Britain if onementions “a bathroom”, it may have only a bath or a shower or a basin for you to wash, to take a bath or to have a shower. Only sometimes there may be a toilet in a British bathroom. A toilet is also a water closet or WC. But the word “closet” may refer to a box with a lock in which you keep your clothes and school bags at school. In American English “go to the bathroom” often means to go to the lavatory or WC. So, when Nancy hands Joe a clean towel, he is puzzled. Just look at the picture on page 8.He’s wondering why Nancy gives him a towel. He’s asking himself:” What’s the use of a towel now?” While he is thinking about a toilet or a WC—a water closet. That’s why Joe says:” I didn’t find what I was looking for!”What he was looking for is actually the toilet or the WC—the water closet, not the bath.loo (BrE), lavatory (BrE), rest room(AmE)3.Do you know what “smart” and “funny” mean in AmericanEnglish? Answer: “smart” is used as an American slang, meaning “clever”. Such as “smart bomb”—a military slang; it’s an extremely accurate missile guided by electronic mans, as by reflected laser beam. A lot of smart bombs were used in the war against Saddam Hussein in Iraqin April 2003. “Funny” means tricky or deceptive in American English. For example, there’s some funny business going on between them. They are doing illegal business against the law.4.Can you tell a story about a misunderstanding caused bythe difference between British English and American English? Answer:During the Second World War, the British government urgently asked the Americans for some thousands of bushels of “corn” to feed liberated population. The American government shipped what in America is “corn”but in Britain is “maize” or Indian corn”. The British really wanted wheat (The British people call wheat corn in England). This linguistic blunder (big mistake) costa few million dollars to repair. So you see, “corn”meanswheat in British English but it refers to “maize” in American English. *bushel蒲式耳=35.238liters升Ask a pair of students to read the dialogue on page 8 then answer the questions one by one.LISTENING (P9)Listening TextIt’s that woman. She drives me crazy. It all started right from the very first day. I would say from the very firstevening when I set foot into that house. “Good evening, Mr Brown, could you please put your coat on a peg? –Oh no, not there, in the closet, please. Yes, thank you, and oh, your shoes, could you please take them off? Thank you. And eh, your umbrella, yes, could you please put your umbrella in the umbrella stand? Oh no, not there, here! Please don’t forget. The key of the front door, here you are, and remember, if you come home after midnight, please lock the door. Good night! Oh Mr Brown, would you please be quiet after nine o’clock in the evening?”And that was only the beginning. “Mr Brown, don’t shower after nine,” she shouted. She would walk past my door and say:” Mr Brown, would you please remember not to smoke in the bathroom? Could you walk the dog, please? Will you trun down your radio, please? Please, Mr Brown, could you speak quietly on the phone?”It was terrible. Oh, I could not have stayed there another week, for sure. And then there was this letter,”Dear Mr Brown,”it said, “could you please return the key of the front door? And one more question. Can you help me find a new tenant for my flat?The landlady asked Mr. Brown: 1.to put his coat on a peg a peg to hang on适当的时机、借口、话题等He has not a peg to hang on. 他一点借口也找不出来。

The teacher helps the students discover the difference in prepositions.2.Play the tape for the students to listen and ask them to mark the sentence stressand intonation. Then practice reading in pairs.(The teacher brings the students’ attention to the British and American words that are different but have the same meaning.)III.

ListeningTo introduce the students to a dialect and a form of standard “English”.You may follow these steps:1). Set the context for the students by describing the situation;2). Tell the class: you are going to listen to a boy named Buford. He speaks aSouthern dialect of AmE with an East, Texas accent. Remember: pronunciation is determined by accent. On the other hand, Buford’s teacher, Jane, spe aks standard BrE. (i.e. what is heard on the BBC.)3). Play the tape for the students to listen.4). Encourage the students to give the standard equivalents for the dialectic wordsfrom Buford’s story, using the context.6). Play the tape again and let the students answer the questions in pairs afterlistening.7). Check the answers. (Variant: you may also ask the students to retell Buford’sstory in Standard English in pairs.)IV. Speaking1. Make sure the students know that the word used for directions often vary depending on what kind of English the speaker uses. Present the list to the students:2. Prepare their role-play in pairs: Be sure that one plays a speaker of British English and the other a speaker of American English. Ask students to select actual streets and location in their hometown for giving directions.3.Performance: Ask two pairs to perform their dialogue in class.V. Writing1.

Doyou think it helps your writing?6)What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing? What can you do to avoidsuch mistakes?Further ApplyingThe teacher may also guide the students to do the writhing task in the Workbook on page 53. You may take the following steps:Step 1: Students divided into groups of four share their own learning experiences and ideas about English learning.Step 2: Students make a list as follows:Step 3: Make notes about the paragraphs for the writing.Step 4: The teacher helps develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way. Step 5: Students write about the topic after class as homework.Learning English helps us meet different people and learn more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.Part Two: Teaching resources(第二部分:教学资源)Section 1: Approaches to process writing 程序写作教学法I. Pre-writing1. BrainstormingGetting started can be difficult, so students divided into groups quickly produce words and ideas about the writing.2. PlanningStudents make a plan of the writing before they start. These plans can be compared and discussed in groups before writing takes place.3. Generating ideasDiscovery tasks such as cubing (Students write quickly about the subject in six different ways. 1. describe it 2. compare it 3. associate it 4. analyse it 5. apply it 6. argue for or against it.)4. QuestioningIn groups, the idea is to generate lots of questions about the topic. This helps students focus upon audience as they consider what the reader needs to know. The answers to these questions will form the basis to the composition.5. Discussing and debatingThe teacher helps students with topics, helping them develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way.II. Focusing ideas1. Fast writingThe students write quickly on a topic for five to ten minutes without worrying about correct language or punctuation. Writing as quickly as possible, if they cannot think of a word they leave a space or write it in their own language. The important thing is to keep writing. Later this text is revised.2. Group compositionsWorking together in groups, sharing ideas. This collaborative writing is especially valuable as it involves other skills (speaking in particular).3. Changing viewpointsA good writing activity to follow a role-play or storytelling activity. Different students choose different points of view and think about /discuss what this character would write in a diary, witness statement, etc.4. Varying formSimilar to the activity above, but instead of different viewpoints, different text types are selected. How would the text be different if it were written as a letter, or a newspaper article, etc.III. Evaluating, structuring and editing1.OrderingStudents take the notes written in one of the pre-writing activities above and organize them. What would come first? Why? Here it is good to tell them to start with information known to the reader before moving onto what the reader does not know.2. Self-editingA good writer must learn how to evaluate their own language ─to improve through checking their own text, looking for errors, structure. This way students will become better writers.3. Peer Editing and proofreadingHere, the texts are interchanged and the evaluation is done by other students. In the real world, it is common for writers to ask friends and colleagues to check texts forspelling, etc. You could also ask the students to reduce the texts, to edit them, concentrating on the most important information.4. The importance of feedbackIt takes a lot of time and effort to write, and so it is only fair that student writing is responded to suitably. Positive comments can help build student confidence and create good feeling for the next writing class. It also helps if the reader is more than just the teacher. Class magazines, swapping letters with other classes, etc. can provide an easy solution to providing a real audience.5. Writing as communicationProcess writing is a move away from students writing to test their language towards the communication of ideas, feelings and experiences. It requires that more classroom time is spent on writing, but as the previously outlined activities show, there is more than just writing happening during a session dedicated to process writing.6. Potential problemsWriting is a complex process and can lead to learner frustration. As with speaking, it is necessary to provide a supportive environment for the students and be patient. This approach needs that more time be spent on writing in class, but as you have seen, not all classroom time is spent actually writing. Students may also react negatively to reworking the same material, but as long as the activities are varied and the objectives clear, then they will usually accept doing so. In the long term, you and your students will start to recognise the value of a process writing approach as their written work improves.Section 2: Background information on English Around the WorldI.

Anything about it is ok. Oh, Li Lei, do you want a try?…Right. You know so much about the Olympics. Toady, we’ll learn more about it in ancient Greece.Warming up by describingNow, boys and girls. I’ll show you a video show of the 28th Olympic Games. Please tell me what it is about and describe it to the class. Ok, Wang Lin, please describe it. Wonderful. That’s Liu Xiang.

Please talk about them. Imagine whatever you can.3. Talking and SharingWe know there are many differences and similarities about the ancient and modern Olympics. Do you know anything about them? You can simply guess. Yes, Lucy, try …III. Reading1. Reading aloud to the recording and finding the general ideaNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text AN INTERVIEW. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation as well as the pauses within each sentence. Then try to get the general idea of the passage. Have you got the main idea?Yes, it tells us the differences and the similarities between the ancient and modern Olympics.2. Reading and actingNow let’s play the parts of the Greek writer Pausanias and the Chinese girl Li Li. Now boys, youare Pausanias; girls, you are Li Li. Please pay attention to the bold words.3. Reading and findingNow read the text again. The boys shall try to finish the task: What was the ancient Olympics like? The girls shall try to finish the task: What is the modern Olympics like?4. Reading and collecting informationOk, now let’s read it silently. First let’s talk about the same points between the ancient and modern Olympics. Who can answer? Any volunteers?Then let’s come to the differences.5. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.ⅣClosing downClosing down by doing exerciseTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises 1 & 2.Closing down by discussingYou know our government has tried its best to compete for hosting the 29th Olympic Games. It has cost a lot of money. Do you think it is worthwhile? Why?Closing by imaginingImagine what we will do and what we can do for the 29th Olympic Games now.Closing down by narratingWe can see the text is written in a conversational style. And there are two speakers. One is Pausanias, a Greek writer 2000 years ago, the other is Li Li, a Chinese girl. Now let’s change it into a narrative style. In other words, let’s describe the ancient and modern Olympic Games in our own words. Who would like to have a try?Closing down by summarizingAs we have finished the passage we’ll sum up what we have learned. First let’s see the writing skills. It is written in a conversational style. It’s in a very interesting way. It adopts a dialogue between Pausanias who lived 2000 years ago and a Chinese gird in modern world. Through their dialogue, the differences and similarities between the ancient and modern Olympic Games are made known to the readers. Just because it is in a conversational style, there are quite a few oral spoken English and elliptical phrases.Through the comparison between the ancient and modern Olympic Games, we have learned the differences and the similarities between them. Now we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can also get to know that the Olympic Games are developing and improving. It’s our duty to make the Olympic Games better and healthier. We know that one of the slogans for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympic Games. It shows that people are paying more and more attention to our environment.Period 2: A lesson plan for Learning about Language(The Future Passive V oice)Aims:To learn about future passive voiceTo discover useful words and expressionsTo learn the methods of words formationProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by dictatingThere are several important sentences in this unit. Let’s dictate them. If you ca n’t, learn them by heart after class.①When and where will the next Olympic Games be held?②I live in what you call “Ancient Greece”and / used to write about the OlympicGames more than 2000 years ago.③All countries can take part if they reach the standard to be admitted to the games.④The next Olympic Games will be held in my hometown.⑤It is just as much a competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win anOlympic medal.Warming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 11 and do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 5 first. Check your answers against your classmates’. II. Learning about word formation1. Do exercise 4 and discover the rules.Turn to page 12 and find out the rules of word formation.By adding -ing to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun.That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the name of the sport”.By adding -er to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun. That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the person who does the sport”.2. Means of word-formation in generalAffixation, conversion, and composition (or compounding) are the chief means of word-formation in English. Besides these, there are also other minor ways of word-formation including clipping, acronymy, blending etc.III. Learning about Present Future Passive VoiceTurn to page 13 and do exercise 3. And tell the class the formation of present future passive voice.ⅣClosing down by summarizing1.Present future passive voice (take “ask” for example)2.The passive Voice of phrasal verbGenerally speaking, only transitive verbs can form the passive voice, for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the fire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor? Has the doctor been sent for?I have never heard of such a thing before. Such a thing has never been heard of before.We must take good care of the children here. The children must be taken good care of here. His classmates laughed at him for the foolish mistake. He was laughed at for the foolish mistake by his classmates.Period 3: A lesson plan for using languageAims:To read about the ancient Olympic GamesTo listen and talk about hobbiesTo write about hobbiesProcedures1. Warming upWarming up by introducingHi! Class. You know Greece is the world-known country with an ancient civilization. It has a long history with so much marvelous culture. The Greeks had wonderful stories about the Gods and Goddnesses who were part of their religion. They believed that these god or goddesses would help humans if they felt sorry for them or if the humans were good people. However, the Gods did not always help. They behaved like people who were unpredictable and capricious. To try to get the support of the Gods people had to pray to them and offer them present. In this story the Goddess Hera, the wife of the chief God, Zeus was sorry for Hippomenes and agreed to help him. Warming up by sharingNow, boys and girls. Is there anybody who can tell us some Greek mythology. You know they are so famous in human history. Or can you speak out some names of Greek Gods and Goddesses.Ⅱ. Guided reading1.

And tell the class which is correct, which is wrong and which is only half true.5. ActingNext we are going to put the text A STORY OF ATLANTA on stage. You know there are four charactors in the story. Who would like to be them?Who will be Alanta’s father, the old king?Who will be the Goddess of Love?Ok. Li Li, you are the Greek princess. Zhang Qiang, you are the brave young man Hippomenes. Lucy, you are the Goddess of Love. Zhou Gang, you are the princess’s father. The rest of class, please prepare it in groups of four.

It was first sung at the 1896 Games. The IOC adopted it as the official Olympic anthem to crown olympic ceremonies at the 1958 IOC Session in Tokyo.The Olympic MottoThe Olympic motto “swifter, higher, stronger”comes from three Latin words”citus, altius, fortius”, which actually mean”faster, higher, braver”. The French educator, Baron Rerre de Coubertin, who revived the ancient Olympic Games and in 1896 led the first modern 01ympic Games in Athens,borrowed the phrase from a Dominican priest Henri Dinon. Mr.Dinon introduced these words while presenting athletic prizes at a college in 1891.But how did these words become the motto of the Olympic Games? It was Michel Breal who introduced this phrase at the closing dinner of the congress for the reestablishment of the modern Olympic Games on June 23,ter, the International Olympic Committee formally adopted this phrase as the official motto of the Games. The Olympic CreedThe Olympic creed was also introduced at the 1896 Games. As stated by Pierre de Coubertin, the creed is as follows:”The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”The Olympic FlagIt was Pierre de Coubertin who conceived the idea of the Olympic flag with five coloured interlocking rings on a white backround. The rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of the athletes from all around the world at the Olympic Games.Today, almost a century after the flag’s creation, the six colours, those of the rings (blue, yellow, black, green, red) and that of the white background which stands for peace, still maintain their symbolism and can be found in flags across the world. The Olympic flag was first used during the Antwerp Games in 1920.The Olympic Oath“In the name of all the competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”At the opening Ceremony of each Games, one athlete from the host country takes Olympic oath on behalf of all competing athletes. This particular gesture of sports-manship was introduced at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar oath at each Opening Ceremony.The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survived from the Games of ancient Greece, where a sacred flame, ignited by the sun, burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera.The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games, where it burned throughout the competitions. It has become a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies the Olympic spirit encompassing the ideals of purity, the endeavour for perfection, the struggle for victory, friendship and peace.The Torch RelayDuring the 1896 Games in Athens, young inspired sportsmen had organised the first torch relays. However, the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in 1936. As in ancient times, the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia, then passed from runner to runner in a relay t o the host city, where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’ Opening Ceremony. The flame then burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.

Unit 2 English Around the World Part One: Teaching Design (第一部分:教学设计)Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading (THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH)AimsTo talk about varieties of EnglishTo read about the history of English languageProceduresI. Warming up1. Warming up by answering a questionnaire1). Tell the students they are going to answer a questionnaire about why they are learning English.2). Write the words: Reasons for learning a foreign language on the center of the board:3). Ask the students to suggest as many reasons as they can think of, for example, for work, as a hobby,to learn about other people, to travel, to read literature in the original, to read research papers, to meet foreigners, to surf the Internet, to pass exams, etc. Write their suggestions on the board as they make them.4). Divide the class into pairs.5). Give out each student one questionnaire paper.6). Explain the task. The students must question each other about their language learning needs (ormotivations). Tell them that you are going to take in the questionnaires at the end, and that you‟d like them to make clear notes. It works better if the two partners swap tasks (questions and answers) after each section of the questionnaire. If they wait till the end to swap, one student may use up all the time available.7). When the task is finished, ask a couple of students to summarize their partners‟ answers. (This maydevelop into a class discussion about language needs).8). The students write five sentences on their feeling about learning English.9). Collect the questionnaires.2. Further applyingTo get the students thinking about the topic of the reading passage.1). Have a student list on the board all the English-speaking countries in the world that they can thinkof.2). Give the students hints about the places they haven‟t mentioned.3). Provide the students with an opportunity to think about the reasons for the spread of Englisharound the world.★English is one of the official languages of the Olympic Games and the United Nations.★English dominates international websites and provides nearly all of the new computer terminology.★Tourism and trade from Western Europe and North America has contributed to the spread of English.★Satellite TV, radio programs like Joy FM, CDs and, of course, Hollywood films all broadcast English into China. Also, a number of Chinese films include English subtitles.II. Reading1. SkimmingRead quickly to get the main idea of the text.Let the students find out key sentence of each paragraph or ask them to summarize the main point for each paragraph in their own words.2. ScanningRead to locate particular information and complete the comprehending Exercise One.3. Following upWork in groups. Discuss the two questions and then ask two groups to report their answers to theclass.1). Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn? Why?1)Why do you think people all over the world want to learn English?4. Language focus:1)even if=even though: in spite of the fact; no matter whether: He likes to help us even if he isvery busy.2)communicate with: exchange information or conversation with other people: He learnt to usebody language to communicate with deaf customers.3)actually=in fact: used when you are adding new information to what you have just said: We‟veknown for years. Actually, since we were babies.4)be based on…:5)make use of: use sth. available6)Only time will tell:to say that something can only be known in the future: Will China‟snational football team enter for the next finals of the World Cup? Only time will tell.Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language (Indirect Speech (II) requests & commands)AimsTo discover useful words and expressionsTo discover useful structuresProceduresI. Direct and Indirect SpeechII. Discovering useful words and expressions1.Work in pairs. Do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then check the answer you‟re your classmates. Theteacher helps the students discover the difference in prepositions.2.Play the tape for the students to listen and ask them to mark the sentence stress and intonation.Then practice reading in pairs.(The teacher brings the students‟ attention to the Briti sh and American words that are different but have the same meaning.)III. Discovering useful structures(Making commands and requests using indirect speech)1. In groups of four, think of at least three commands your teachers and parents usually give. You may follow these steps.1)Choose one who is to give the first command.2)Ask another person in your group to tell somebody what you said.3)The third person will change the request or command from direct into indirect speech.4)Change role so that each person gets the chance to give commands and turn them into indirectspeech.2. Get the students thinking about the difference between the request and command.Then read the replies and decide whether they are in answer to a request or a command. Write the sentence down.★A: _______________________________________B: I‟ll go and collect some wood right now, master.★ A: _______________________________________B: O f course I‟ll be happy to collect your shopping for you.★A:__________________________________________B: Yes. I‟ll shut the door at once, Mr. Zhang.★A:_________________________________________B: No, I won‟t get your coat if you talk to me like that.★A:_________________________________________B: Sorry. I‟ll get that book for you right now.Period 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language(STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS)AimsTo read out and talk about STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSTo write about learning English by brainstormingProceduresI. Warming up1. Introduction:In China there‟re so many dialects that the government encourages the whole nation to speak Putonghua, which is regarded as standard Chinese.2. Role-play: Get students to work in pairs. Let one student be a Chinese and the other a foreigner. Role-play a conversation about the Chinese language to have them discuss why Putonghua has to be used in China.II. Reading1. Get the students thinking about the topic of the text to predict what it says.2. Skimming:Read quickly to find the topic sentence for each paragraph.3. Scanning: Work in pairs. Read the text to locate particular information.1). Do you know what Standard English is from the text?2). What is a dialect? Why does American English have so many dialects?4. Language focus:1)believe it or not: used when you are going to say something that is true but surprising: Believeit or not, John cheated in the exam.2). the re is no such a …as: used to say that a particular person or thing does not exist: These daysthere is no such a thing as a job for life.3). standard English: the form of English that most people in Britain use, and that is not limited toone area or group of people4). dialect:a variety of a language spoken only in one area, in which words, or grammar areslightly different from other forms of the same language5). play a part/role in:be one of the causes that make something happen: Besides dieting,exercising plays an important part in losing weight.III. ListeningTo introduce the students to a dialect and a form of standard “English”.You may follow these steps:1). Set the context for the students by describing the situation;2). Tell the class: you are going to listen to a boy named Buford. He speaks a Southern dialect ofAmE with an East, Texas accent. Remember: pronunciation is determined by accent. On the other hand, Buford‟s teacher, Jane, speaks standard BrE. (i.e. what is heard on the BBC.)3). Play the tape for the students to listen.4). Encourage the students to give the standard equivalents for the dialectic words from Buford‟sstory, using the context.6). Play the tape again and let the students answer the questions in pairs after listening.7). Check the answers. (Variant: you may also ask the students to retell Buford‟s story in StandardEnglish in pairs.)IV. Speaking1. Make sure the students know that the word used for directions often vary depending on what kindof English the speaker uses. Present the list to the students:2. Prepare their role-play in pairs: Be sure that one plays a speaker of British English and the other a speaker of American English. Ask students to select actual streets and location in their hometown for giving directions.3.Performance: Ask two pairs to perform their dialogue in class.V. Writing1. Making a posterFirst ask the students to make educated guesses about how English can help some aspect of Chinese life, in particular its economy.Then, in pairs students work on their poster.Finally, ask several pairs to present their poster in class for assessment.2.Writing Assessment1)Can you give persuasive reasons for the topic on your poster?2)Can you verbalize your ideas fluently?3)Can you put your own English learning experiences into a broader perspective?4)Can you organize your ideas in a logical way?5)Have you made a brainstorming map before you set out to design your poster? Do you think ithelps your writing?6)What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing? What can you do to avoid such mistakes? Further ApplyingThe teacher may also guide the students to do the writhing task in the Workbook on page 53. You may take the following steps:Step 1:Students divided into groups of four share their own learning experiences and ideas about English learning.Step 2: Students make a list as follows:Step 3: Make notes about the paragraphs for the writing.Step 4: The teacher helps develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way. Step 5: Students write about the topic after class as homework.Part Two: Teaching resources(第二部分:教学资源)Section 1: Approaches to process writing 程序写作教学法I. Pre-writing1. BrainstormingGetting started can be difficult, so students divided into groups quickly produce words and ideas about the writing.2. PlanningStudents make a plan of the writing before they start. These plans can be compared and discussed in groups before writing takes place.3. Generating ideasDiscovery tasks such as cubing (Students write quickly about the subject in six different ways. 1. describe it 2. compare it 3. associate it 4. analyse it 5. apply it 6. argue for or against it.)4. QuestioningIn groups, the idea is to generate lots of questions about the topic. This helps students focus upon audience as they consider what the reader needs to know. The answers to these questions will form the basis to the composition.5. Discussing and debatingThe teacher helps students with topics, helping them develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way. II. Focusing ideas1. Fast writingThe students write quickly on a topic for five to ten minutes without worrying about correct language or punctuation. Writing as quickly as possible, if they cannot think of a word they leave a space or write it in their own language. The important thing is to keep writing. Later this text is revised.2. Group compositionsWorking together in groups, sharing ideas. This collaborative writing is especially valuable as it involves other skills (speaking in particular).3. Changing viewpointsA good writing activity to follow a role-play or storytelling activity. Different students choose different points of view and think about /discuss what this character would write in a diary, witness statement, etc.4. Varying formSimilar to the activity above, but instead of different viewpoints, different text types are selected. How would the text be different if it were written as a letter, or a newspaper article, etc.III. Evaluating, structuring and editing1.OrderingStudents take the notes written in one of the pre-writing activities above and organize them. Whatwould come first? Why? Here it is good to tell them to start with information known to the reader before moving onto what the reader does not know.2. Self-editingA good writer must learn how to evaluate their own language ─to improve through checking their own text, looking for errors, structure. This way students will become better writers.3. Peer Editing and proofreadingHere, the texts are interchanged and the evaluation is done by other students. In the real world, it is common for writers to ask friends and colleagues to check texts for spelling, etc. You could also ask the students to reduce the texts, to edit them, concentrating on the most important information.4. The importance of feedbackIt takes a lot of time and effort to write, and so it is only fair that student writing is responded to suitably. Positive comments can help build student confidence and create good feeling for the next writing class. It also helps if the reader is more than just the teacher. Class magazines, swapping letters with other classes, etc. can provide an easy solution to providing a real audience.5. Writing as communicationProcess writing is a move away from students writing to test their language towards the communication of ideas, feelings and experiences. It requires that more classroom time is spent on writing, but as the previously outlined activities show, there is more than just writing happening during a session dedicated to process writing.6. Potential problemsWriting is a complex process and can lead to learner frustration. As with speaking, it is necessary to provide a supportive environment for the students and be patient. This approach needs that more time be spent on writing in class, but as you have seen, not all classroom time is spent actually writing.Students may also react negatively to reworking the same material, but as long as the activities are varied and the objectives clear, then they will usually accept doing so. In the long term, you and your students will start to recognise the value of a process writing approach as their written work improves.Section 2: Background information on English Around the WorldI.
