1. What's the topic of your conversation after you came back from home to the

campus yesterday?

(Teacher show them some phrases and expressions about New Year, and let them have a formal conversation in standard English.)

2. What kind of conversation do you prefer, the casual free talk in the dormitory or

the conversation held in class Why

3.Analysis of the Title

Pub is usually a place for low class people to get together. They meet friends there or go there to have a drink or just to relax. And what about the language How is it related to language To King’s language which belongs to the upper class or the well-educated people. How could these two totally unrelated things put together

II.Background Information of the Text and the Author

This topic can be introduced in several ways:

1.Chinese people’s oral English are commonly commented by foreigners or

foreign teachers as “bookish” English;

2.by telling a joke about the first Chinese delegation to visit soviet union after

China’s opening its door to the outside world. The soviet union asked an

old scholar as an interpreter and his Chinese is like the ancient classic

Chinese.

3.just to raise some question like the different expressions, such as standard

English, social dialect, regional dialect, or writers of local colorism, such as

Mark Twain or Jia Pinwa in China.

4.or the topic might be introduced by mentioning the “plain English movement”

in academic writing.

III.Detailed Study of the text

Paragraph 1-4 Introductory part

The students should pay special attention in this part to how the topic is ushered in.

1.the definition of conversation: how human is different from the animal.

Conversation is human-specific. [remember that in the first para animal is

concerned and in the last para this is echoed back.]

2.the charm of conversation: no one knows where it starts and where it ends. In

this para, one sentence is special.

“… as it meanders or leaps and spark les or just glows”

how could we draw a tree diagram to illustrate its syntactic structure

3.the introducing of pub talk in Britain. The characteristics of pub talk – not

deeply involved in other people’s lives.

sparkle verb [I]

1 to shine brightly with a lot of small points of light:

The snow/sea sparkled in the sunlight.

2 If a person or performance sparkles, they are energetic, interesting and exciting:

Alice is shy and quiet at parties, but her sister really sparkles!

4.in a pub talk, “the king’s English” became a topic. That is a very natural way to

introduce the topic.

In a way, this reminds us of the ways to introduce a topic mentioned by Aristotle. Through an anecdote. And in the first two paragraphs, the topic is introduced in a top-down fashion.

desultory adjective FORMAL without a clear plan or purpose and showing little effort or interest:

She made a desultory attempt at conversation.
