Unit21bodylanguage(人教版高一英语下册教案教学设计)Teaching goals1. Talk about body language2. Describe gestures and facial expressions3. Practice making offers and request4. Learn to use the –ing Form (2) as Subject, Object and Predicative5. Write an imaginary storyPeriod 1 Word studyPeriod 2 Warming up & ListeningStep 1. Warming up1. Brainstorm: the words of emotions/feelings of human beingsAs we know, sorrow and happiness make a life. We, human beings, have all kinds of emotions. Let’s brainstorm emotions we’ve learned so far.happy, sad, angry, confused, tired, puzzled, hateful, excited, frightened, embarrassed, depressed, uneasy, thrilled, easy, confident, delighted, kind, curious, etc.2. Now let’s look at pictures with different emotions and match each picture with the correct emotion and the correct sentence. Meanwhile, ask students what makes he/she thinks that the person in the picture is feeling a certain way.Possible answers:Pictu re 1: Confused; I don’t know what to do.Picture 2: Angry; I can’t believe she said that! That is so unfair!Picture 3: Sad; I’ve lost my wallet!Picture 4: Happy; I got an A in my exam!Picture 5: Tired; It’s been a long day. I can’t keep my eyes open.3. From one’s facial expression, we can know how he/she is feeling. Besides, we can know how he/she is feeling from his/her gesture, that is to say, the way he/she stands or sits can also tell us how he/she is feeling. Now look at your classmates and tell how they are feeling today by the way they sit or stand.Step 2 Listening1. Pre-listeningJust now we see we can learn how one is feeling from both his/her facial expressions and gestures. Look at me. Can you guess what these gestures mean?1) shake the head2) wave the arms3) stand with arms folded4) … …(Students may not guess all the meanings of these gestures, and then teachers can say “Let’s listen to two short passages and find out what one’s body movements/gestures can tell us.”)2. Listening1) Listen to Part 1 for the first time and get the students to do the first question of Part 1.2) Listen to Part 1 again and do the rest two questions of Part 1.3) Listen to Part 2 and do questions of Part 2. If students can’t follow it, listen again.3. Post-listeningBased on what you heard just now and your own experience, discuss with your partner: How can you use your body language to communicate the following ideas?Homework1. Make a list of facial expressions and gestures and their meanings we’ve learne d today.2. Preview the following lesson.Period 3 Listening (WB) & SpeakingStep 1 ListeningDo the listening practice in the workbook step by step. If the material is too difficult, teachers can give students some difficult sentences first or even give the listening material to students after they listen to the tape twice.Step 2 Pre-speakingMake some requests and ask/help students to answer and make offers, for example:T: Could you give me a hand?S: Yes, of course. What can I do for you?T: Could you please clean the blackboard for me?S: With pleasure.T: That’s very nice of you.(Teachers can also ask students to open/close the window, turn on the projector and so on.)Step 3 Speaking1. Language InputJust now I asked some students to help me clean the blackboard (open/close the window, turn on the projector and so on.). In fact we’re practicing making requests, offers and responses. Now let’s look at some useful expressions on page 58.Useful expressions of making offers and requestsCan/Shall I help you with that?Would you like me to …?No, thank you. Thanks for all your help.Could you please …?Would you like some help?Could you give me a hand with this? No, thanks. I can manage it myself.Is there anything else I can do for you?Could you help me with …?That’s very nice of you.Do you need some help with that?Notes:Is there anything else I can do for you? = What else can I do for you?We use these two sentences offer help again when we’ve already offered help.2. PracticeNow use these expressions and follow the example to make up some dialogues in the following situations in pairs. (on the screen)Then get some pairs to act out the dialogues in front of the class.Step 4 Useful Expressions --- Making offers/requests and responsesIn our everyday life, we quite often meet difficulties and have to ask our friends or relatives for help. Of course, sometimes we’ll offer to help others. And in English there're several ways of making offers/requests and responses. Please look at the screen.Ways of making offers or requests Ways of replying to others' offers or requestsAcceptance Refuse1.Can/Could/Shall I help you?2.Would you like me to …?3.Is there anything (else) I can do for you?4.Do you want me to …?5.

Could you give me a hand with …?3. Could you help me with …? 1. With pleasure.2. Yes, of course. 1. I’m sorry, but …2. I’d like to …, but ….Step 5 Making up dialoguesJust now we have got through several ways of making offers/requests and responses. Let’s use these sentence structures to make up some dialogues. (Get the students to work in pairs and offer to do the following things for each other.) help you with homeworkhelp you with cooking a mealshow you how to use the typewriter go and buy some medicinedo the shoppingshow you to the dining roomExample:A: Would you like some help?B: Yes, please.A: Shall I show you how to use this electric typewriter?B: Thanks.

I can manage it myself.Step 6 Post-speakingIf time permits, get students to finish the task of talking in the workbook.HomeworkPrepare the task of talking in the workbook.Preview the following lesson: Body talk.Periods 4-5 ReadingStep 1 RevisionCheck the homework of making up a dialogue in the workbook.Go over the ways of making offers/requests and responses.Step 2 Pre-readingIn the first period of this unit, we’ve learned that we can use our facial expressions and gestures to express ourselves or tell what someone is thinking or feeling by looking at their facial expressions and gestures.1. Who can tell us some ways of telling what one is thinking or feeling?2. Do people from different parts of the world use different body language? What about people who live in different parts of China?3. How do you communicate the following with body language?Thank you! No. Yes. I don’t know. Come here!Step 3 Reading1. ScanningAsk students to read the text quickly and find out the main idea/key sentence of each paragraph in pairs.Para 1: We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people.Para 2: Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.(The same gesture has different meanings in different countries.)Para 3: People in different countries show the same idea in different ways.Para 4: Some gestures seem to be universal.Para 5: Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile.*Teachers can also ask students how many parts we can divide the whole text into and what the main idea of each part is.Part 1 (Para 1): We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people.Part 2 (Para 2-3): Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.Part 3 (Para 4-5): Some gestures seem to be universal.2. ReadingThis part is designed to help students to get more detailed information of the text.1) Read the second part (Para 2-3) more carefully and thenfill in the table, using a projector to show the table.

为此,笔者在warming up 教学环节,先让学生欣赏两段表演,在活跃气氛,提高兴趣的同时,通过回答演员们如何表现自己这一问题引出本课话题------body language.笔者在课前要求学生尽可能通过各种途径搜寻有关的材料,鼓励学生上因特网查找主题“body language”的内容,材料交流,整理。

笔者在设计本课教学时,采用了多种教学方式,比如在listening中训练学生获取信息的能力,通过填写表格培养学生的理解能力和对比研究能力,在Discussion中训练学生的口语表达能力,通过dumb show 发展学生的语言运用能力。
通过以上几个活动,把听,说,读,写,练环节有机联系,并有所侧重地融入阅读教学中,使学生丰富相关的语言知识和文化背景知识,并能够运用课文中所学知识表达自己的思想和感受。
2.教学过程Step 1 Warming upShow a short film and a MTV show and ask the students the following questions:T: How do the actors in the show express themselves?S: By facial expressions and what they do.T: What do we call that?S: Body language.T: What is body language?S: Body language is the movements or positions of our body. We use them to show other people what we are thinking about and how we are feeling.[设计说明] 让学生在课前欣赏两段表演,在活跃气氛,激发学生对身势语的兴趣的同时,通过回答演员们如何表现自己这一问题引出本课话题------body language.Step 2 BrainstormingShow some gestures and ask the students to guess what the gestures mean.[设计说明] 展现几幅身势语图片以激发学生的学习兴趣和参与的热情,创造轻松的课堂氛围,最后用一幅图片调动学生的求知欲------同一身势语在不同文化背景下可能会有不同的含义。
