教学过程Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (8 mins)(1) 小测试: 对比阅读Robert Burns的诗A Red Red Rose和一首现代诗(4 mins)T: Hello, class. You have all been learning English for at least 3 years. But how good is your English? How much do you know about English? Today, let’s look here and have a test to see how good your English is. Here is a poem by Robert Burns, who was an English poet, or exactly, a Scottish poet. This poem, A Red Red Rose, is one of the most famous in the world. Read it and listen. Let’s see if you have any difficulty in understanding it.A Red Red RoseRobert BurnsO, my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O, my Luve's like the melodie,That's sweetly play'd in tune.As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry.Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.And fare thee well, my only Luve!And fare thee well, a while!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it were ten thousand mile!T: Did you find it easy or difficult? What about this one? This poem was written by a modern writer.I Am Not YoursI am not yours, not lost in you,Not lost, although I long to beLost as a candle lit at noon,Lost as a snowflake in the sea.You love me, and I find you stillA spirit beautiful and bright,Yet I am I, who long to beLost as a light is lost in light.Oh plunge me deep in love—put outMy senses, leave me deaf and blind,Swept by the tempest of your love,A taper in a rushing wind.T: Why is the first poem difficult to understand while the second one not? (Mainly because of some of the words used in the first poem, which are not often used now. Robert Burns lived in the 18th century while the writer of the second poem is a modern poet.) So we can see people in the past used different words from what is used today.(2) 听一段一位学生和来自澳大利亚的外教的对话(4 mins)T: Now, when one day Qiu Zhensong met our foreign teacher Zak, who is from Australia, what happened? Let’s welcome Zak and Qiu Zhensong.(After the dialogue, the foreign teacher explained.) Did you understand our dialogue? (Ss: No.) What’s the difficulty? (Different words were used in Australia which you do not know in American or British English.) T: So from the two poems and the dialogue we can see people from different countries speak different English and people in different times also use different English. How did the difference come about?[意图说明] 引入话题：不同时代、不同国家所使用的英语有所不同。

（完整版）高中英语人教版必修一课文内容电子版Unit2Unit 2 English around the worldThe 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 foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually, all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first, the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based 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 thattime two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The America 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 own identity? Only time will tell.STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSWhat is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.When people use words and expressions different from “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighboring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an olderkind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other’s dialects.。

more people use English as their first or 2nd language.3.The US has the largest number of English speakers.4.Native English speakers can understand everything because they speak the same kind of English.）S g：The first one is true.S h：The second one is true.S i：The third one is false.China has the largest number of English speakers.S j：The fourth one is false.Native English speakers may not be able to understand everything because they do not speak the same kind of English.T：You did a very good job.Now please read para.3 after the tape.And then fill in the form on the screen.T：We know

English in some other parts of the world？After reading the last paragraph，would you please say something about the present situation of English in your own words？S l：It is also spoken as a foreign or 2nd language in many other countries.For example，in India，it is used for government and education.In some African and Asian countries，it is also spoken，such as in South Africa，Singapore and Malaysia.While in China，the number of English speakers is increasing fast.T：Quite good.Step 7 DiscussionT：So far，we’ve known that English is becoming more and more important in China.It has been an important subject for Chinese students.But someone say that Chinese is a much more elegant language.So it is more important for us to master it and it is not so necessary for us to master a foreign language.Do you agree with this opinion and why？Suggested answer：I don’t agree with it.With the cultural communication becoming more and more frequent，the chance to contact foreigners，exported goods，international conferences，and so on，is more and more.As the most widely used language，English is regarded as the language used in most international situations.Thus，if we want to keep up with the times，we’d better master English and use it as a tool.Step 8 Summary and homeworkT：Today we’ve learned an article on “the road to modern English”.After class，you should read it again and again to get the idea of the text further.Do the exercises of comprehending and try to tell your partner something about English in our own words.That’s all for today.Class is over.●板书设计Unit 2 English around

Chinese Japanese French Spanish German...●备课资料Soon There Will Be No Such Thing As “Wrong”English In this article：Senior Indian journalist Gautaman Bhaskaran says that English is so flexible that one day there will be too many variations around the world.English is a victim of its own success.The other day The Times in London displayed a cartoon showing an excited schoolboy flaunting his test scores：“I done good in English.”Days later，editors of the Oxford Dictionary of English rued the spread of what they termed “greengrocer’s English”.Grammar and syntax，they regretted，were going out of fashion.Others in England—in the Oxford University Press，the BBC and so on—said the incorrect use of cliches were marring the smooth flow of a great language whose ability to imbibe and absorb has been one important reason for its success.This success also stems from the language’s unique position of being the only one spoken in most parts of the world.Really，English has no boundaries.Even in countries such as Japan and China，which were not colonized by Britain，English is making a determined “conquest”.Unfortunately，such a conquest is not always welcome because a language sometimes doubles as a political weapon.At some point it ceases to be just a means of communication and English is a classic example of this.It has always led a troubled life.It has been disliked，even hated，largely because the people who originally spoke English conquered，colonized and terrorized half the world，or just about.The animosity to the language continues，at least in some places.The bitterness that the French，for instance，have for English is a good example of a language being giving a quasi-political role in society.Fortunately，this aversion does not run as it did some years ago，and there is a growing realization that English is the lingua franca.China and Japan，among a host of other nations，have been making serious efforts to promote the language.Some months ago there was a hue and cry in Singapore over the spread of “terrible English”which the authorities called “Singlish”.“Down with it!”they said，and urged Singaporeans to learn correct English，the phenomenal flexibility of which has often made things difficult for those who have to use it every day.Today even university graduates find it hard to pen a couple of correct sentences in it.More horrifying is that many teachers and university vice-chancellors speak and write poor and ungrammatical English.Often，they are found to be out of touch with what is called “usage”and，as we all know，this is one of the pillars the language rests on.Yet，despite the mess that English is in India，the nation has—more than two centuries after Samuel Johnson wrote his English dictionary—become the hottest destination for top lexicographers.The new 10th revised edition of the Oxford Concise English Dictionary includes hundreds of Indian words.Leading the list of 600 Indian English entries are “Hindutva”（Hindu identity），“dada”（older brother），“panchayat”（local administration），“chai”（tea），“pani”（water），“puri”（a dish made of wheat）and “dosa”（rice pancake）.In fact，Indian words from 20 per cent of entries and rank as the third-largest component after American and AustralianEnglish segments.Other former British colonies such as New Zealand，South Africa and the Caribbean islands follow the Indian English collection of words.English，despite its hiccups，is endearing to the common Indian man or woman.About 150 years after Lord Macaulay introduced the language in India to create “babus”（clerks）for the British bureaucracy，70 million Indians speak English，a number that is higher than that in Britain.However，there is a sneaking fear among Puritans that with this kind of spread，English may stop being English.While the French have fanatically preserved the purity of their language，the English have liberally allowed other influences to affect their lingo.So，what is seen as its strength —the fact that people all over the world understand it—can be an undermining obstacle.There might be a serious problem if every state or continent were to have its own version of English.As one writer said：“There is a risk in relentless atomization.”With too many variations of the language，a time may come when one group of English-speaking people may not be able to understand another.This is happening.Hear the way Singaporeans speak English.Listen to the Australians pronouncing “e”；it sounds like “a”.A few of the films made lately by British directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh had to have subtitles in English.Accents in the north of Britain can be hard for people in the south to understand，let alone those outside the island.The point is，no language must be allowed such flexibility—anything goes in the name of functional communication—that people begin to take liberties with it.Ultimately，there may be no such thing as wrong English.The schoolboy in the Times cartoon was doing just that.He knew nobody would scold him for getting his English wrong.不久以后就没有“错误的”英语这一说了英语成了自身成功的牺牲品，前几天，伦敦的《泰晤士报》刊登了一幅漫画，上面画了一个兴高采烈的男学生炫耀他的考试成绩：“I done good in English”（我的英语成绩不错）。
