Why or why not.Yes, I just learned English exactly that way.No, we have learned English in different ways.3)How do you learn English? What do you think of your way of English learning?I learn English by:listening to the teacher carefully in classtaking notes …to go over lessons latercatching every chance to practice speakinglistening and reading a lotdoing enough exercises to practice grammar rulesI think my way of English learning is:effective, ineffective, interesting, boringchallenging but rewardingexamination-oriented二、文本学习1. Global understanding of the text1)Scan the text in three minutes and fill in the blanks.After I read the passage, I know the text talking about how _________ and __________ can be taught efficiently. The writer might be a ________ and a ________________ as well.2)What is the writing style of the text? Why?The writing style of the text is relaxed, which is proved by a lot of short sentences and paragraphs, casual verbs, daily talks and simple modifiers.3)Map the text structure and fill in the blanks.2. Detailed understanding of the textRead the text again and answer the following questions.1) Why does the son think that his father is a tedious oddity?Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2) Why does the author think that students’ language deficits should be blamed on schools?Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.3) What does the father teach the son while giving him a grammar lesson?He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.4) What are the two things that the author uses to describe grammar and vocabulary?The author uses “road map” and “car” to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here, “road map” is considered as grammar and “car” as vocabulary.5) How do you understand the interjection “whoa!” said by the father toward the end of the text?Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the in terjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.第二次课一、文本拓展1) Text SummaryAn Impressive English LessonTo my son, I am a _____________: a father he is __________ listen to and a man ____________ the rules of grammar. And I got ______________ this because my student was unable to describe properly her feeling on her __________ to Europe.However, it doesn’t ________________ to criticize our students. They unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these __________________ because there is a sense that they _________________. On one hand, they are misled by the____________. On the other hand, school fails to _________________ the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary. Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a _________ and a ___________________: often study the road map (check grammar) and ________ the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a ________________ car. __________, _________, and __________ communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two __________ assets for students, but they are ________________ in schools.2) Language Points3. Criticl thinking1)What do you think of the “impressive English lesson”? Is it effective?●Yes. Because the lesson aroused children’s interest in learning English grammar.●Yes. Because the way to learn grammar is more natural, interesting and enjoyable.●Yes, because learners become more motivated when learning something they like.●No. because it’s like a street learning without forma l instruction.2) Do you think English grammar helps you a lot in learning English? Why or why not?English grammar helps a lot:●Order sentences correctly.●Use words properly.●Talk with other English speakers confidentlyEnglish grammar is of little help:●Only give rules that are hard to remember.●It is not helpful in a real-life setting due to the limited time to think and recall the rules.●Not always applicable to the real language, especially idioms.3) How can you effectively enlarge your vocabulary?●Read more English from online sources.●Watch English TV / listen to English radio / watch English online videos.●Talk often with English speakers.●Listen carefully and extensively.●Use dictionaries to look up unfamiliar words.●Use new words as often as possible.二、写作训练 (P13)1)Structure AnalysisAs the name of our textbook implies, we read English in order to write in it. But how to write in the English way?As is known to all of us, what we write reflects what we think; and how we write mirrors how we think. In that light, our best way of writing in English is to know well how to think in English as the American or British people do. What is their way of thinking then?Different from us who think in the spiral way (螺旋式), they tend to think in the linear way (线性方式). As far as paragraph writing is concerned, deduction (演绎法) is typical of their linear way of thinking, as shown below:Starting from this book, you are moving from paragraph writing to short essay writing. In a likely manner, however, we will go through the same process for essay writing as we did for paragraph writing. In college writing, an essay normally has three main parts: introduction, body,What are minor details and what are the main ideas. (Many words in a sentence describe things about the subject of the sentence but they merely find the details to it. If we ask when, what, where, or why, we will find out these details, which further help us to see the key idea of the sentence.)4) What to keep in mind to find out the key idea of a sentence?Of course, we cannot always easily decide which details are simply descriptive and which add much to the key idea. However, the starting point for determining the key idea ina sentence is to find who or what the sentence is about and what the person or object isdoing.2. 文本学习1) Applying the reading skillWhat can the title “The Great Journey of Learning” tell us?The title “The Great Journey of Learning”, coupled with the topic “Language in Mission” of the unit, tells us the central idea—The process of learning has a profound effect on one’s life.2) Detailed understanding of the textRead Text B and choose the best answer to each of the questions (Page 24)Read the text again and think about the following questions:1. Why did Malcolm X want to learn English? (Para.2)Because he was poorly educated, he felt inadequate to teach his new beliefs to others.2. What motivated Malcolm X to launch on a quest to overcome his language deficiencies? Malcolm X’s considerable frustration at his inability to read and write launched him on a quest to overcome his deficiencies.3. How did Malcolm X move from basic literacy toward true proficiency? (Para. 5)He copied dictionary, read everything he had written aloud and logged important things that happened every day. Repetition helped move him from basic literacy toward true proficiency. 4. What did Malcolm X obtain from language learning? (Paras. 9-10) Reading had changed forever the course of Malcolm X’s life. As he acquired knowledge, his horizons expanded. He had left behind the narrow, ignorant world of his youth to join the world community of thoughts and actions ever since he started with his great journey of learning English in prison.3. 知识总结听说训练第四次课教学目的及要求Talk about learning experiencesListen for signal words for listingGive and respond to adviceTalk about learning / teaching methods教学过程1.

New Horizon College EnglishBOOK 2(3rd Edition)Unit 1 Text AEx.1 Understanding the text1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.Ex.3 Words in use1.condense2.exceed3.deficit4.exposure5.asset6.adequatepetent8.adjusting9.precisely 10.beneficialEx.4 Word building-al/-ial: managerial/editorial/substance/survival/tradition/margin-cy : consistency/accuracy/efficient-y : recovery/ministry/assemblyEx.5 Word building1.editorial2.recovery3.accuracy4.substance5.managerial6.margin7.assembly8.Ministry9.survival 10.tradition 11.consistency 12.efficientEx.6 Banked cloze1-5: L C J A I 6-10: O N E H FEx.7 Expressions in use1.feel obliged to2.be serious about3.run into4.distinguish between5.thrust upon6.was allergic to7.get lost8.be attracted to9.make sense 10.looked upon asEx.8 Structured writingSome bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head . I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams . I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
