Learning English nowadays is no longer as difficult as it used to be.Step III Read to learnDeal with the reading part.T: Yesterday I asked you to make a survey on how students learn English. Now I’d like you to report the result.S1: Most students like to do multiple choice tests. Because they think they will get good marks in the coming NMET if they practice such exercises a lot.S2: Some students do like English. They like to sing English songs, see English movies, watch English TV programmes and even chat online in English with people from different countries.S3: Some students think a good dictionary and a grammar book are enough for them to learn English well. They try to memorize all the vocabulary in the dictionary and all the grammar rules. They think good marks in tests show that they are learning English well.......T: From your survey we can see different people have their own ways of learning English. English is something you do: you listen and read, and then you write and speak. It is very important to understand all the grammar rules, but then you must learn what to do with them in real life, and do it. Your good or bad grades on multiple-choice tests are no measure of your English ability. Then how can you learn English well?

The pronoun ‘that’in the latter part of the sentence ‘that has proved to be the case in the last few decades’ refers to ‘the fact that English would one day be the global language’. It is/ was predicted that- clause is a very useful pattern and in the Grammar period we will learn it in details and do some practice.

How many parts consist of the article? What’s the main idea of each part?S4: In my opinion the article is made up of three parts. From the first paragraph we can learn the fact that English has become the global language. From the next twoparagraphs we can learn that most of us rely on an adequate amount of input of English in the classroom. And the rest of the text gives us some recommendations on how to do outside the classroom.T: Well done!If students have different opinions, Teacher may help them analyze the text.Show the following on the PowerPoint.Part1 (the first paragraph) English has become the global language.Part2 (Para.2-3) An adequate amount of input of English in the classroom will help most of people to learn English well.Part3 (Para.4-5) Recommendations on how to do outside the classroom.T: After learning the experts’ recommendations, let’s discuss what can he lp you learn English well.

Because everyone has his or her own practical way to learn English, please share your ideas with your group members.A sample of the discussionA: I think learning English requires practice. So we should practic e more and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.B: It is quite right. Just like swimming, only by listening and reading can we speak and write English.C: I couldn’t agree more. The absolute best way to learn English is to surroundyourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.”D: I think the Internet is perfect for language learning. You can have a rich input of English from the internet. You can even make e-pals with native English speakers. You can voice chat with them. Of course you can also write emails in English. On the internet English will be your first language and this will help develop the habit of thinking in English.E: To me music is a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.F: I am addicted to English. I love the language, and I love using it. I like writing English sentences, speaking English to native speakers, reading books and the Web, watching American movies, and so on. I like the intellectual challenge of using a foreign language. When I learn something new about English, I feel I'm getting better and more powerful.T: That’s wonderful. You need to keep in mind why you are learning English. If you have fun when learning English, surely you will learn English well or I may say surely you will get head with your English. Good luck to your English learning.Step VII HomeworkPick out the noun clause in the text.。
