Unit 4 Body language教案
Unit 4 Body language I.单元教学目标II.目标语言Ⅲ.教材分析和教材重组1.教材分析本单元以Body Language——“体态语”为中心话题,具体涉及什么是“体态语”,如何理解“体态语”,以及“体态语”的跨文化性等。
本单元的语言技能和语言知识也都是围绕“体态语”这一中心话题设计的,旨在通过单元教学,用听、说、读、写、做(表演)等多种形式,让学生正确认识和掌握“体态语”在交际中的作用和意义,使学生明确“体态语”在人类交际中的重要性,了解“体态语”在不同民族、不同文化交际中的多样性;使学生在今后的日常生活、学习、工作和交往中尽量减少或避免运用“体态语”时可能产生的误解,提高他们的“语言交际”能力和“非语言交际”能力。
1.1 WARMING UP 以列表对比(填充及增补)的形式,并通过WARMING UP 的活动,让学生了解有声语言与“体态语”的对应关系,了解语言意义与行为意义(“体态语”)在交际中具有同等重要的作用。
同时,学生在听、说、做(即表演“体态语”的动作)中能够增进对语言交际的感性认识,为他们在阅读过程中上升到对语言交际的理性认识打下基础。
1.2 PRE-READING 通过提供三个关于不同文化背景下“体态语”的问题,启发学生思考我们所学习的“语言”的目的、形式、功能。
通过引导学生联系自己日常生活的实际,提高学生努力学习英语的积极性和自觉性;同时培养学生留心社会、关注生活的洞察力,为引导学生进一步“阅读”作好准备。
1.3 READING 是一篇介绍性(记叙文)体裁的文章,主要介绍了各种文化背景下的“体态语”的异同,为学生提供了来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的“体态语”及其在交际中的异同和影响的具体例证。
学生也可以结合自己在语言交际中所遇到的实际例子来进一步理解“交际,毫无问题可言吗?”这一主题。
1.4 COMPREHENDING 包括八个问题(前5个旨在检查学生对阅读材料细节的理解,6~7旨在引导学生对“体态语”的意义及文化差异的思考,第8个检查学生能否通过细节进行推理判断),通过对来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的六个角色对待男女不同性别所使用的“体态语”异同的(学生在老师指导下的自我或小组讨论后的)归纳,进一步熟悉和掌握“体态语”在不同语言文化交际中的作用和意义。

Unit 4 Body Language(Reading and Thinking)教案(2课时)
Unit 4 Body LanguageReading and Thinking: Listening to how Bodies Talk 教案文本简析本阅读材料的话题是交际中的肢体语言,作者从三个方面讲述了肢体语言的特征与作用,通过主题句和举例阐述的方式让读者了解不同文化中肢体语言的相同或者不同的意义,并从更抽象、概括的维度深入认识肢体语言的特点,理解肢体语言的作用。
基于肢体语言的特点,作者提醒读者在与人交流中,尤其是当文化背景有差异的时候,要使用得体的肢体语言,尊重、理解和包容不同的文化,进行有效、有素养的沟通。
文本共由六个段落组成,篇章结构为“总—分”。
第一段用简练的语言引出了话题,并且从我们自身表达的需要和了解他人感受两个角度讲述了肢体语言的作用。
第二段阐述了肢体语言的第一个重要特点——肢体语言在不同的文化中有不同的内涵——这也是文中写作篇幅最大的一个要点,最为重要。
通过讲述肢体语言的这一特点,作者向读者传递了要尊重不同的文化、要使用与所在文化相宜的肢体语言。
文章的二、三、四段均围绕这一要点展开。
为了说明肢体语言的这一特点,第二段中作者讲述了不同文化中视线交流的不同,列举了中东国家和日本的情况来说明。
第三段中的主要支撑例子为OK手势,除了我们所认知的意义,OK手势在一些国家,例如日本、法国、巴西和德国等有截然不同的含义,甚至在一些国家有侮辱性。
第四段中讲述了我们最常见的用点头、摇头表达是与否的肢体语言在一些特定国家是不一样的,以及不同文化背景中人们交谈时彼此的距离,见面或告别时采用的方式也截然不同。
第五段的内容为作者讲述的第二个肢体语言的特点——有一些肢体语言在世界各地有相同含义。
作者通过两个具体的例子进行了说明,目的在于告诉读者有一些肢体语言的含义在全球是通用的,进一步表明了肢体语言的重要性。
第六段的内容为肢体语言的第三个特点——有些肢体语言本身有很多不同的用途。
作者用“smiling”的众多使用场合和不同的用途进行了说明,这个要点同样向读者传递了肢体语言在表达中的重要性。
