译林版模块九 Module IX Communicating with other cultures《Unit 1 Other countries, other cultures Task(2) Planning a trip Skills building 3》优秀教案设计

Teaching aims:

After learning the first part, i.e., Skills building 1, the students will be able to be aware of both some detailed information and some hidden information that is not clearly stated by inferring or guessing. Meanwhile, they can form the habit of taking notes while listening and inferring from the note what they have heard.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1

Relate a story and get the students to answer:

1. Is the writer fond of study?

2. How long did the writer actually study yesterday?

3. Did his mother think he could pass the exam?

I had a very busy day yesterday, although it was a Sunday. As early as nine in the morning, my mother woke me up and told me to study. At about 10, after a quick breakfast, I had to sit in my study doing my homework until about 12. After lunch, my mother went out shopping and this offered me a precious chance to watch TV. I had watched for about three hours when Li Jun called and suggested we play football. It was a close game and I was very tired when I got home. Mother was very unhappy when she saw me. “Don’t worry about me, Mum.” I said, “I have gone over all my lessons and I believe I can pass the exam tomorrow.” “Oh, really? I wish you could.” Mother said with a cold smile. Answers:

1. No, he isn’t.

2. For only two hours.

3. No, she didn’t.

Ask the students: How do you know？

1. The writer isn’t fond of study?

2. He studied for only two hours?

3. The writer’s mother didn’t think he could pass the exam?

Answer:

From the story, we know that the writer hates to get up early to study. He only studied between about 10 and 12, which is approximately two hours. Besides this, he did nothing but watch TV or play football. The mother’s way of speaking when she says, “Oh, really? I wish you could.” with a cold smile suggests that she didn’t think he could pass the exam.

Summary:

When you are listening to a speech or a conversation, sometimes you have to infer or guess some of the information that is not clearly stated; or sometimes you have to pay special attention to the detailed information though it’s mentioned directly. In this case, you have to take notes and see what you can learn from the speech or conversation.

[Explanation]

这一部分作为热身，主要是让学生知道：不管是文章、独白还是对话，都有可能存在着一些隐含信息，而获取隐含信息的主要途径是推断或猜测。另外，正如听课要记课堂笔记一样，有时候听报告、对话等也要通过记笔记的形式获取信息，从而才能推断出隐含信息。

Step 2

Get the students to answer: If you are to visit New York, what places would you like to go to? Can you name some of its interesting places? Show the pictures of Kennedy International Airport, the island of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, the UN Headquarters, the Bronx Zoo, the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Explain the above spots with one sentence and get the students to write it down.
