Unit 2 English Around the World

Part One: Teaching Design (第一部分:教学设计)

Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading

(THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH)

Aims

To talk about varieties of English

To read about the history of English language

Procedures

I. Warming up

1. Warming up by answering a questionnaire

1). 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 you’d 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 Questionnaire

Interviewer_______________

Interviewee_______________

Present use: situations and skills

Reading (faxes, letters & reports)

Listening & speaking (telephoning, meetings, negotiations, public speaking, socializing)

Writing (faxes, letters & reports)

Future use: expectations & ambitions

2. Further applying

To get the students thinking about the topic of the reading passage.

1). Have a student list on the board all the English-speaking countries in the world that they can think of.

2). Give the students hints about the places they haven’t mentioned.

3). Provide the students with an opportunity to think about the reasons for the spread of English around the world.

★ English is one of the official languages of the Olympic Games and the United Nations.

★ English dominates international websites and provides nearly all of the new computer terminology.

★ Tourism and trade from Western Europe and North America has contributed to the spread of English.

★ Satellite TV, radio programs like Joy FM, CDs and, of course, Hollywood films all broadcast English into China. Also, a number of Chinese films include English subtitles.

II. Reading

1. Skimming

Read 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 world

Paragraph 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 and Asia.

2. Scanning

Read to locate particular information and complete the comprehending Exercise One.

3. Following up

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 don’t 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.)

1) 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.

(All persuasive reasons can be accepted.)

4. Language focus:

1) even if=even though: in spite of the fact; no matter whether: He likes to help us even if he is very busy.

2) communicate with: exchange information or conversation with other people: He learnt to use body language to communicate with deaf customers.

3) actually=in fact: used when you are adding new information to what you have just said: We’ve known for years. Actually, since we were babies.

4) be based on…:

5) make use of: use sth. available

6) Only time will tell: to say that something can only be known in the future: Will China’s national football team enter for the next finals of the World Cup? Only time will tell.

(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 don’t 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.

B: Sorry. I’ll get that book for you right now.

Period 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language

(STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS)

Aims

To read out and talk about STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS

To write about learning English by brainstorming

Procedures

I. Warming up

1. Introduction: In China there’re so many dialects that the government encourages the whole nation to speak Putonghua, which is regarded as standard Chinese.

2. Role-play: Get students to work in pairs. Let one student be a Chinese and the other a foreigner. Role-play a conversation about the Chinese language to have them discuss why Putonghua has to be used in China.

II. Reading

1. Get the students thinking about the topic of the text to predict what it says.

2. Skimming:

Read quickly to find the topic sentence for each paragraph.

Para. 1: There is no such a thing as Standard English.

Para. 2: American English has many dialects whose words and expressions are different from “standard English”.

Para. 3: Geography plays a part in making dialects.

3. Scanning: Work in pairs. Read the text to locate particular information.

1). Do you know what Standard English is from the text?

2). What is a dialect? Why does American English have so many dialects?

4. Language focus:

1) believe it or not: used when you are going to say something that is true but surprising: Believe it or not, John cheated in the exam.

2). there is no such a …as: used to say that a particular person or thing does not exist: These days there is no such a thing as a job for life.

3). standard English: the form of English that most people in Britain use, and that is not limited to one area or group of people

4). dialect: a variety of a language spoken only in one area, in which words, or grammar are slightly different from other forms of the same language

5). play a part/role in: be one of the causes that make something happen: Besides dieting, exercising plays an important part in losing weight.

III. Listening

To introduce the students to a dialect and a form of standard “English”.

You may follow these steps:

1). Set the context for the students by describing the situation;

2). Tell the class: you are going to listen to a boy named Buford. He speaks a Southern dialect of AmE with an East, Texas accent. Remember: pronunciation is determined by accent. On the other hand, Buford’s 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 Buford’s story, using the context.

Dialectic words

from Buford’s story Standard English

equivalents

hey

y’all

ain’t

yer

ya

swimmin’

jumpin’

feelin’

‘bout

‘nough

shoulda seen

got outta hello

everyone

aren’t

your

you

child

swimming

jumping

feeling

enough

should have seen

got out of

6). 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 Buford’s story in Standard English in pairs.)

IV. Speaking

1. Make sure the students know that the word used for directions often vary depending on what kind of English the speaker uses. Present the list to the students:

Amy (American) Lady (British)

subway underground

left left-hand side

keep going straight go straight on

two blocks two streets

right right-hand side

2. Prepare their role-play in pairs: Be sure that one plays a speaker of British English and the other a speaker of American English. Ask students to select actual streets and location in their hometown for giving directions.

3. Performance: Ask two pairs to perform their dialogue in class.

Sample version:

S1: Excuse me, sir. But I can’t find the drugstore?

S2: Pardon?

S1: I said I couldn’t find the chemist’s shop.

S2: Well, go round the corner on your right-hand side, straight on and cross the flyover. You will find it ahead.

S1: Thank you very much.

S3: What did he say?

S1: He told us to go round the corner on the right, go straight on and then cross the overpass. The drugstore will be ahead.

Self-assessment criteria:

Did you cooperate well with your partner(s) while practicing?

Can you ask for directions and give directions clearly?

Can you express your ideas fluently? If not, what’s your main problem?

Did you go naturally between American English and British English while talking to each other.

V. Writing

1. Making a poster

First ask the students to make educated guesses about how English can help some aspect of Chinese life, in particular its economy.

Then, in pairs students work on their poster.

Finally, ask several pairs to present their poster in class for assessment.

A Sample poster

CHINA’S FUTURE LIES WITH LEARNING ENGLISH

Reasons for learning English:

※ World trade is done in English;

※ International organization (such as the UN) use English;

※ We need contact with the developed Western world to build our country;

※ The developed world uses English in its dealings.

Why the Chinese language will not do?

※ Very few people in the West speak Chinese;

※ Chinese is a difficult language to learn;

※ Most businessmen do not have time to learn new languages every time they enter a new international market.

SO CHINA’S FUTURE LIES WITH LEARNING ENGLISH

2.Writing Assessment

1) Can you give persuasive reasons for the topic on your poster?

2) Can you verbalize your ideas fluently?

3) Can you put your own English learning experiences into a broader perspective?

4) Can you organize your ideas in a logical way?

5) Have you made a brainstorming map before you set out to design your poster? Do you think it helps your writing?

6) What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing? What can you do to avoid such mistakes?

Further Applying

The teacher may also guide the students to do the writhing task in the Workbook on page 53. You may take the following steps:

Step 1: Students divided into groups of four share their own learning experiences and ideas about English learning.

Step 2: Students make a list as follows:

My problems Ideas for improvement Why I like English My future

with English

Step 3: Make notes about the paragraphs for the writing.

Step 4: The teacher helps develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way.

Step 5: Students write about the topic after class as homework.

Sample version:

My experience of learning English

Many people all over the world speak English as their second language. It is not too much to say that it has become an international language.

Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that way.

It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it will be fun and it will expand your view of the world. If you make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often and then you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs and habits of different cultures.

There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners because they are not confident of their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will get your key words in the sentence and figure out the whole meanings. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid to make friends with them; just go head!

Learning English helps us meet different people and learn more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.

Part Two: Teaching resources(第二部分:教学资源)

Section 1: Approaches to process writing 程序写作教学法

I. Pre-writing

1. Brainstorming

Getting started can be difficult, so students divided into groups quickly produce words and ideas about the writing.

2. Planning

Students make a plan of the writing before they start. These plans can be compared and discussed in groups before writing takes place.

3. Generating ideas

Discovery tasks such as cubing (Students write quickly about the subject in six different ways. 1. describe it 2. compare it 3. associate it 4. analyse it 5. apply it 6. argue for or against it.)

4. Questioning

In groups, the idea is to generate lots of questions about the topic. This helps students focus upon audience as they consider what the reader needs to know. The answers to these questions will form the basis to the composition.

5. Discussing and debating

The teacher helps students with topics, helping them develop ideas in a positive and encouraging way.

II. Focusing ideas

1. Fast writing

The students write quickly on a topic for five to ten minutes without worrying about correct language or punctuation. Writing as quickly as possible, if they cannot think of a word they leave a space or write it in their own language. The important thing is to keep writing. Later this text is revised.

2. Group compositions

Working together in groups, sharing ideas. This collaborative writing is especially valuable as it involves other skills (speaking in particular).

3. Changing viewpoints

A good writing activity to follow a role-play or storytelling activity. Different students choose different points of view and think about /discuss what this character would write in a diary, witness statement, etc.

4. Varying form

Similar to the activity above, but instead of different viewpoints, different text types are selected. How would the text be different if it were written as a letter, or a newspaper article, etc.

III. Evaluating, structuring and editing

1.Ordering

Students take the notes written in one of the pre-writing activities above and organize them. What would come first? Why? Here it is good to tell them to start with information known to the reader before moving onto what the reader does not know.

2. Self-editing

A good writer must learn how to evaluate their own language ─ to improve through checking their own text, looking for errors, structure. This way students will become better writers.

3. Peer Editing and proofreading

Here, the texts are interchanged and the evaluation is done by other students. In the real world, it is common for writers to ask friends and colleagues to check texts for spelling, etc. You could also ask the students to reduce the texts, to edit them, concentrating on the most important information.

4. The importance of feedback

It takes a lot of time and effort to write, and so it is only fair that student writing is responded to suitably. Positive comments can help build student confidence and create good feeling for the next writing class. It also helps if the reader is more than just the teacher. Class magazines, swapping letters with other classes, etc. can provide an easy solution to providing a real audience.

5. Writing as communication

Process writing is a move away from students writing to test their language towards the communication of ideas, feelings and experiences. It requires that more classroom time is spent on writing, but as the previously outlined activities show, there is more than just writing happening during a session dedicated to process writing.

6. Potential problems

Writing is a complex process and can lead to learner frustration. As with speaking, it is necessary to provide a supportive environment for the students and be patient. This approach needs that more time be spent on writing in class, but as you have seen, not all classroom time is spent actually writing. Students may also react negatively to reworking the same material, but as long as the activities are varied and the objectives clear, then they will usually accept doing so. In the long term, you and your students will start to recognise the value of a process writing approach as their written work improves.
