2019-2020学年度人教版必修一Unit2 English around the worldusing language●从容说课This is the fourth period of Unit 2 which focuses on listening. In this lesson，there are twoparts. One of it is to consolidate the sentence structure of indirect speech and direct speech. Theother part concerns listening in which two passages are included. Both of them are about the topicof English.Listening is becoming more and more important. Teaching students to listen in proper way isthe aim of this part. A good listener should be able to predict according to some hints such as thetopic，the questions listed，etc.，to listen with the purpose of finding useful information and tosummarize. So this part should be taught according to the aim.In it，we’ll first have a revision. It deals with the exercise talking on page 48.Thought theusage of the sentence patterns in daily life，students can master this grammar part much better.Their ability of using language will be practiced as well in this part. And then we’ll listen to twopassages. In this part，to train students’ listening skills，I will design some questions about thepassage so that students can listen on purpose of finding useful information. Besides，studentscan practice the ability of predicting what will be heard in this part. At last，a discussion will beorganized. This is to train students’ ability of using language and reading critically.●三维目标1.Knowledge：Review the sentence patterns by using them.2.Ability：Get more information on English dialect.3.Emotion：How to help students improve listening skill.●教学重点 Use the sentence patterns in life.Understand the listening material.●教学难点 How to improve students’ listening skills●教具准备cassette recorder●教学过程Step 1 Greetings and RevisionGreet the whole class as usual.T：Yesterday we learnt the sentence patterns which express commands and requests. Whocan tell me something about it？S：To express commands，we can use “Do...；Do not do...”.S：To express requests，we can use “Do...please；Do not do...please；Will you do...？Would you do...？Can you do...？Could you do...？”T：Yes，you are right. Then how can we change them into Indirect Speech？S：If it is a command，we can use “sb. told/ordered sb. to do...；sb. told/ordered not to1


do...”.S：If it is a request，we can use “sb. asked sb （not） to do”.T：Please tell which one is the right answer.“____________，”Li Ming said to his teacher.A. Can you buy me a new watch？B. Give me that book，C. Lend me your bike，D. Could you help me with my English？S：I think D is the right answer.T：Could you tell me why？S：Because A is not logical. B and C are commands. In last period we learnt that commandsshould be made by people who have authority. So I think here D is right.T：Your explanation is perfect.Step 2 Talking （Workbook P48） T：Great. Now let’s practise the sentence patterns by making up dialogues. So please turn toP48 and look at the part of talking. Please work in groups of four. And choose one situation torole-play.（5 minutes for preparation）T：Now let’s begin.Possible version：Group 1：A.（foreigner）：Excuse me，could you give me a hand？B：Sure. You seem to be looking for someone. A：Yes. My Chinese friends and I promised to meet at the exit of the subway.B：Could you speak a bit slowly. I can’t quite follow you. I guess you are looking for yourChinese friends.A：I’m sorry. I wasn’t noticing it just now. Yeah，we said that we would meet here—theexit of the subway at 2 p.m. And it is 2：15，but I still can not find them.B：Exit 1 or Exit 2？A：What do you mean？There’re 2 exits？B：Yes. Here are two exits. So you should be sure which one is where you promised to meet.A：I see. I am sure that they must be waiting for me at the other exit. Thank you very much!Group 2：（P：parents；W：waitress；Y：you）P：Excuse me，could you tell me where the toilet is？W：Er...the restroom？Well，go straight ahead，and it will be at the end of the corridor.P：But we do not need rest. We are just looking for a toilet.Y：I mean we want to go the WC. W：WC？We don’t have one.Y：No WC! How can a restaurant have no WC？W：I’m sorry! But what do you really mean by saying WC？Y：It’s a place where we can wash hands.W：Ah，I see. Well，go up to the second floor.Y：Thank you so much!2

Today let us listen to thedialogue spoken with an accent. Please turn to the listening part on P14.First listen and find outhow many people there are in the dialogue and who they are.S：...T：Great! Now please listen to it again，and answer the questions on the text book.（after listening） Have you got the answers？Now compare notes with your partner.T：Are you sure about your answers now？Let’s check together.T：You did a very good job. Now we will listen to it again. After that，you should retell thestory to your partner. See？S：...T：So you see，there is some difficulty for people to understand the dialects. Right？So what we do while learning English？S：We can learn standard English. S：I don’t think so，because we have learnt that there’s no standard English actually. So Ithink what we should do is to pronounce better，and use the correct words and grammar.Step 4 Listening （Ⅱ）T：By reading the passage “ the road to modern English“，we have known English is aworld language which is spoken in many countries and areas. In this period we will listen to nativespeakers from different English-speaking countries. Please move to P51 and look at ListeningTask. Now several students in an international high school in Shanghai are describing where theycome from. What do you think you will hear in their introduction？S：I guess they will talk about the location，climate，people，custom，specificthings，and so on.T：You are very clever. We are introducing some place，most of time we will give somedescription of the climate，people，custom，people，history，places of interests，and so on.T：Listen carefully，then tell which topics are mentioned.S：...3


T：Good. Then I will play the tape again. This time you should try to guess the name of eachstudent’s country.S：...T：Good job. This time，you should pay much attention to each student’s description. Afterlistening it again，you should describe the country using your own words.S：...T：Well done! Now work in groups of four and discuss with your partners why English isspoken in so many places around the world. Make a list of the reasons and then report your groupwork with other groups.Step 5 SummaryThis class we have review the grammar part by using it in daily life. We have practisedreading as well. We learn the language in order to use it. So I advise you practise using what welearnt daily so that they can be part of your knowledge.Step 6 HomeworkLook up the words left in the vocabulary in the dictionary.●板书设计Unit 2 English around the world The Fourth PeriodSentence patternsGuessing the topics mentioned in the tape●活动与探究This activity is to do some research on the listening skills. Students are required to surf theinternet to search for some information on advice on improving listening.●备课资料ColorsAmericans have used colors to create many expressions they use every day.We say we are “in the pink” when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how thisexpression was born. When my face has a nice fresh，pink color，it is a sign my health is good.If I look gray and ashen，I may need a doctor.Red is a hotter color than pink. And Americans use it to express heat. In English，the smalland hot peppers（辣椒） found in many Mexican foods are called “red hots”，for their color andtheir fiery（火辣辣的）.We say that fast，fiery music，especially the kind called “DixielandJazz” is “red hot”.Blue is a cooler color. The traditional blue music of American blacks is the opposite of thered hot music. It is slow，sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra （管弦乐队）recorded a famous song，Mood Indigo（《深蓝的情调》），about the deep blue color，indigo.In the words of the song，“You aren’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo”.To be“blue”，of course，is to be sad.While the color green is natural for trees，it is an unnatural color for humans. Whensomeone does not feel well，someone who is sick for example，we say he looks green. Whensomeone is angry because he does not have what someone else has，we say he is “green withenvy（忌妒）”.Some people are “green with envy” because someone else has more dollars，or4


“greenbacks”.Dollars are called greenbacks because that’s the color of the back side of the money.The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goeswrong as a “black day”.A “black sheep” is the member of a family or group who always seems tobe in trouble. A “blacklist” is illegal（非法的） now，but at one time，some employers sharedblacklists of people who should not be given work. Not all the “black” expressions have badmeanings. A business “ in the black”，for example，is one with profits（利润）.A company “inthe red” is losing money. Red ink is used to show losses in a financial
