Unit2-English around the word教案.doc

Period 1:Warming Up and Pre-ReadingAimsTo talk about varieties of EnglishTo discuss why do so many people speak EnglishProceduresI. 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 (or motivations). Tell them that you are going to take in the questionnaires at the end, and that youd 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 may develop into a class discussion about language needs).8). The students write five sentences on their feeling about learning English.9). Collect the questionnaires. Needs Analysis QuestionnaireInterviewer_Interviewee_Present use: situations and skillsReading(faxes, letters & reports)Listening & speaking (telephoning, meetings, negotiations, public speaking, socializing)Writing (faxes, letters & reports)Future use: expectations & ambitions课后反思：本课能比较好地完成教学目标，训练了学生说的能力，懂得如何表达自己的思想和意见。使学生了解了世界各地的英语是有所不同的，特别是了解英国英语和美国英语的区别。 同时使学生感受到学习英语的重要性。由于学生的口语水平有限，所以探讨的时候不是很深入。Period 2 Reading：The Road to modern EnglishAimsTo talk about EnglishTo read about the history of English languageStep 1 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.Paragraph 1: The spread of the English language in the worldParagraph 2: Native speaker can understand each other but they may not be able to understand everything.Paragraph 3: All languages change when cultures communicate with one another.Paragraph 4: English is spoken as a foreign language or second language in Africa andAsia.Step 2 ScanningRead to locate particular information and complete the comprehending Exercise One.Step 3 Comprehending1. Check the answers to exercise 1 (page 102. Answer these questions (Page 11)Work in groups. Discuss the two questions and then ask two groups to report their answers to the class.1). Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn? Why?Possible answer:I dont think so. Here are the reasons: Native speakers from different parts of the world have no difficulty in understanding each other despite the fact that they speak a bit differently. It is necessary for us to learn the narrow difference between different kinds of English if we hope to communicate fluently with native speakers of English from all over the world. Different kinds of English have the same language core. If you have got a good command of one kind, you will almost have no difficulty understanding another kind of English.(Any persuasive and supporting reason the students give can be accepted.)2) Why do you think people all over the world want to learn English?Possible answer:The reasons why people all over the world want to learn English: With economy globalization, English has become the best bridge to serve the purpose of people all over the world communicating with one another. However, like all major languages in the world, English is always changing. In order to adjust to native speakers from different parts of the world, it is a must for people all over the world to learn English, whether in English speaking countries or in non-English speaking countries. Also, people from different parts of the world speak English with various accent and dialects, and people have to learn about the difference between different kinds of English in order to avoid misunderstanding while communicating.课后反思：本课是阅读课。英语阅读教学是高中教学的重中之重。许多英语教师对阅读训练也给予了足够的重视，但是在训练方式上却存在较多的问题。多数教师过分注重语法结构的分析和句子的机械翻译而忽视技巧培养。只有在阅读教学中教给学生一些学习策略，培养阅读技巧，才能让学生有可能通过课外自学来扩大知识的摄取量，从而弥补课堂英语阅读教学的不足。由于时间仓促以及学生口语水平的局限，本课时在学生让学生讨论的环节上，气氛不够热烈，讨论时间不足，今后应尽量鼓励学生多开口说英语，以弥补这方面的缺陷。Period 3: Reading (Language points)Aimto master some words and phrases1. include v.a) containeg.

Work in pairs. Do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then check the answer youre your classmates. 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 stress and 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. 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 indirect speech.Example:T: Please dont talk in class.S1: What did our teacher tell us? / What did our teacher say?S2: He told/asked us not to talk in class. / She said not to talk in class.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: Ill go and collect some wood right now, master. A: _B: Of course Ill be happy to collect your shopping for you. A:_B: Yes. Ill shut the door at once, Mr. Zhang. A:_B: No, I wont get your coat if you talk to me like that. A:_B: Sorry. Ill get that book for you right now.课后反思：本节为语法课，主要讲述直接引语和间接引语的相互转换。教学设计依据新课程标准理念设计各种任务，使学生在完成这些任务的过程中理解、体验实际语言的运用，掌握好直接引语和间接引语的相互转换。Period 5: Using Language(STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS)AimsTo read out and talk about STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSTo write about learning English by brainstormingProceduresI.

Tell the class: you are going to listen to a boy named Buford. He speaks a Southern dialect of AmE with an East,Texasaccent. Remember: pronunciation is determined by accent. On the other hand, Bufords 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 Bufords story, using the context.Dialectic wordsfrom Bufords storyStandard Englishequivalentsheyyallaintyeryapupswimminjumpinfeelinboutnoughshoulda seengot outtahelloeveryonearentyouryouchildswimmingjumpingfeelingaboutenoughshould have seengot out of6). 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 Bufords story in Standard English in pairs.)IV. Speaking1.
