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。

Please look at the screen. For the first time you must scan the text quickly for three minutes. Be sure not to read the text sentence by sentence .Read the key words and key sentences to gain a brief idea about the topic of the text. Then read the questions and find the key words. Go back to the text and find the words or their synonyms. You can find the answers aroud the key words. ( After a while.)T: Have you finished yet? (S: yes.) OK. Now let’s check the answers. Who will give the first answer?S1: A. “ English has the most speakers now.”T: where in the text did you find the key words or its synonyms?S1: In the first paragraph the last sentence. “China may have the largest number of English Speakers.” The sentence ahead shows us that the time is today or now.T: Very good. And what about the next question?( It doesn’t matter whether the students make mistakes. The most important of all is to lead them to find the key words or sentences and get the right answers.)Step 4 Analysis of the structure of the textT: Now read the passage again. Try to find the topic sentnces in five minutes. (After a while.) Paragraph 1T: Can you find a topic sentence in Paragraph 1.Ss: No.T: Can you find the words indicating the times? Read them out.Ss: “ At the end of , in the next century, today.”T: Very good. We can see that as the time went by, the number of people speaking English increased. Now use one sentence to sum up the paragraph. Who would like to try? Well, Lin Hong, Have a try.S2: More and more people start to speak English.T: Right. ( Write the sentence down.)

Generally speaking, the sentence beginning with such words--- however, but ---after a statement is what the writer intends to give emphasis on. Thus ,it is often the key sentences. So why can’t they understand each other?Ss: World English are different from each other in some ways.T: Exactly. That’s what the writer intends to illustrate. ( Write it down on the blackboard.) What about the third paragraph?( conclusion) From the four topic sentences we can see they mainly focus on one thing. What’s it? Ss: English.T: Yes, they are about four aspects of the history of English. So we can say that it’s a brief history of English. ( Write it down.)T: why did the writer decide to end the passage with a question? According to the passage, languages change when culturescommunicate with one another. So the writer intended to predict a possible road to modern English, that is, when Chinese culture communicate with Eglish culture, English may chang, too. So as time goes by, Chinese English may become one of the world English. That is what the writer intended to tell us about in this passage. So the writer gave it the title--- The Road To Modern English.

The road to modern EnglishAt the end of 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 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 AD450 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 AD800 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 s 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 19the 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 increasingly rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.。
