模块六 Module VI Making a better world英语《Unit 1 Laughter is good for you Task(1) Writing to a foreign friend_ Skills building 1 and 2》精品课教案

Teaching procedures:

Step 1 lead in (PPT4)

Tell the Ss one of the best ways to learn English well is to communicate with others. Then introduce a foreigner (if you have a foreign friend, you can introduce him to the class, which will increase the Ss’ interest. If not, just suppose there is a foreign friend Bill.) to the Ss and tell the Ss: “Bill is interested in Chinese culture. Recently he is interested in Chinese crosstalk and asks me a lot of questions about it. In addition, he asked me to email the answers to him.” ( Show the Ss 8 questions about crosstalk)

Questions about crosstalk

What is crosstalk?

When did it start?

What different parts does a crosstalk performance contain?

Where can you see or hear it?

Could you name some famous performances (both living and dead) and give some detailed information about them?

Could you give some information about famous foreign p erformers?

What should you do if you want to learn it?

What are the similarities and differences between the western stand-up and Chine se crosstalk?

Ask the Ss to go through the questions and see if there is one or two questions that they already have the answers.

[Explanation]

由外国朋友直接导入，明确课堂任务—写一封有关中国相声的Email。提出8个问题引发学生思考，当学生发现自己的信息不足时，他们很自然产生获取信息的动力，这时候在带领学生进入活动，学生会在主动、兴奋的状态下参与课堂，效果更好。

Step 2 L istening（PPT5-12）

1. Since the Ss can only answer one or at most two questions, we need help. Ask the Ss to listen to the talk show to get some information.(Page 11)

Play the tape for the Ss, and then allow them some time to compare notes with their partners to see if they have the same idea. Then ask the Ss if they need to listen to it again. If they need, listen to it again. If not, check the answers. （PPT6-7）

2. After checking the answers, ask the Ss to go back to the questions and see if there are any questions that can be answered. It will be easy now for the Ss to find the answers to question No. 1, 3, 4. （PPT8-10）

Ask the Ss about question No. 2. The answer doesn’t lie in the notes on Page 11, but they can get some hints from the listening material. Some Ss can get the word “Qing Dynasty”. Since the Ss can not get all the necessary information, give the Ss some key words and ask them to make up sentences about the history of crosstalk. The key words are: “Qing Dynasty, 150 years, the first crosstalk performer, Zhu Shaowen, Beijing”, then we can get “Crosstalk began in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty, over 150 years ago. The first crosstalk performer is called Zhu Shaowen and he started such a comedy form in Beijing.” （PPT11）

3. Ask the Ss if there is any other question that can be answered. That will be question No. 7. It is not difficult fo r the Ss—They must understand the Chinese language and Chinese culture to enjoy crosstalk. （PPT12）

[Explanation]

听力不是很简单，教师可以根据课堂上学生的具体反应来确定听1遍还是2遍。问题2在听力中有所体现但是在课本第11页上的Notes又没有体现，而相声的历史应该对于介绍相声来说是比较重要的，因此可以在听力的基础上，给出关键词，让学生根据听到的点滴和已有的知识将关键词连成句子就可以来介绍相声的简单历史了。问题7在notes里有所涉及，而且正好做下一个步骤的衔接。在听力过后学生发现可以解决一部分问题，此时的热情会高涨，将他们引导到下一环节，在任务驱动下去继续他们的信息收集。

Step III Reading（PPT13-15）

The teacher may say to the Ss: “So if you want to learn crosstalk, you have to learn the language, but if you want to become a crosstalk comedian, is it enough to learn the Chinese language? What else do you need to do if you want to become a crosstalk performer?”
