preparation.Now please read the words together.（show words and explanations on the slide）Step 4 Pre-readingT：Just now，we’ve known that there’re many kinds of English in the world.Then why are there so many kinds？Ss：We don’t know.T：Anyway，we’ll find out the cause today.Now read the title of the passage “the road to modern English”.What do you think it will tell us？S f：I guess it will tell us the development of English.Step 5 SkimmingT：Now let’s find out whether your answer is right.So please read the passage fast in silence and find out the main idea of each paragraph.Suggested answer：Para.1：Brief introduction of the change in English.Para.2：An example of different kinds of English.Para.3：The development of English.Para.4：English spoken in some other countries.Step 6 ScanningT：You’ve mastered the structure of the passage.Now please read para.1 and 2 loud in detail.T：（several minutes later）Have you finished？Here’re some statements of which some are right while some not.Read them and then tell whether they are true or false.If false，please find out the mistake and correct it.（slides：1.Most of the English speakers in the 16th century lived in England.2.More and more people use English as their first or 2nd language.3.The US has the largest number of English speakers.4.Native English speakers can understand everything because they speak the same kind ofEnglish.）S g：The first one is true.S h：The second one is true.S i：The third one is false.China has the largest number of English speakers.S j：The fourth one is false.Native English speakers may not be able to understand everything because they do not speak the same kind of English.T：You did a very good job.Now please read para.3 after the tape.And then fill in the formThe Road To Modern EnglishThe cause：Cultures communicate with one anotherTime Things that happenedBetween AD 450and 1150Based on German1150 to 1500 Less like German；more like French→why？→because Frenchmen ruled England thenIn the 1600’s Shakespeare broadened the vocabulary.A big change in English，giving its own identity→why？→caused by “American Dictionary of the English language”written by Noah WebsterLater British people brought English to AustraliaT：We know culture communication brings about changes in English.Can you think of any effect that Chinese has on English？S k：In English there are some Chinese words such as gongfu，long time no see，...T：Great!With more closely communication of culture，English is changing more frequently.T：As we all know，English is spoken as the native language mostly in western countries.Then what about English in some other parts of the world？After reading the last paragraph，would you please say something about the present situation of English in your own words？S l：It is also spoken as a foreign or 2nd language in many other countries.For example，in India，it is used for government and education.In some African and Asian countries，it is also spoken，such as in South Africa，Singapore and Malaysia.While in China，the number of English speakers is increasing fast.T：Quite good.Step 7 DiscussionT：So far，we’ve known that English is becoming more and more important in China.It has been an important subject for Chinese students.But someone say that Chinese is a much more elegant language.So it is more important for us to master it and it is not so necessary for us to master a foreign language.Do you agree with this opinion and why？Suggested answer：I don’t agree with it.With the cultural communication becoming more and more frequent，the chance to contact foreigners，exported goods，international conferences，and so on，is more and more.As the most widely used language，English is regarded as the language used in most international situations.Thus，if we want to keep up with the times，we’d better master English and use it as a tool.Step 8 Summary and homeworkT：Today we’ve learned an article on “the road to modern English”.After class，you shouldread it again and again to get the idea of the text further.Do the exercises of comprehending and try to tell your partner something about English in our own words.That’s all for today.Class is over.●板书设计Unit

some words from other languages in English.Differences Pronunciation Spelling MeaningUsage...Words from other languages Chinese Japanese French Spanish German...●备课资料Soon There Will Be No Such Thing As “Wrong”English In this article：Senior Indian journalist Gautaman Bhaskaran says that English is so flexible that one day there will be too many variations around the world.English is a victim of its own success.The other day The Times in London displayed a cartoon showing an excited schoolboy flaunting his test scores：“I done good in English.”Days later，editors of the Oxford Dictionary of English rued the spread of what they termed “greengrocer’s English”.Grammar and syntax，they regretted，were going out of fashion.Others in England—in the Oxf ord University Press，the BBC and so on—said the incorrect use of cliches were marring the smooth flow of a great language whose ability to imbibe and absorb has been one important reason for its success.This success also stems from the language’s unique position of being the only one spoken in most parts of the world.Really，English has no boundaries.Even in countries such as Japan and China，which were not colonized by Britain，English is making a determined “conquest”.Unfortunately，such a conquest is not always welcome because a language sometimes doubles as a political weapon.At some point it ceases to be just a means of communication and English is a classic example of this.It has always led a troubled life.It has been disliked，even hated，largely because the people who originally spoke English conquered，colonized and terrorized half the world，or just about.The animosity to the language continues，at least in some places.The bitterness that the French，for instance，have for English is a g ood example of a language being giving a quasi-political role in society.Fortunately，this aversion does not run as it did some years ago，and there is a growing realization that English is the lingua franca.China and Japan，among a host of other nations，have been making serious efforts to promote the language.Some months ago there was a hue and cry in Singapore over the spread of “terrible English”which the authorities called “Singlish”.“Down with it!”they said，and urged Singaporeans to learn correct English，the phenomenal flexibility of which has often made things difficult for those who have to use it every day.Today even university graduates find it hard to pen a couple of correct sentences in it.More horrifying is that many teachers and university vice-chancellors speak and write poor and ungrammatical English.Often，they are found to be out of touch with what is called “usage”and，as we all know，this is one of the pillars the language rests on.Yet，despite the mess that English is in India，the nation has—more than two centuries after Samuel Johnson wrote his English dictionary—become the hottest destination for top lexicographers.The new 10th revised edition of the Oxford Concise English Dictionary includes hundreds of Indian words.Leading the list of 600 Indian English entries are “Hindutva”（Hindu identity），“dada”（older brother），“panchayat”（local administration），“chai”（tea），“pani”（water），“puri”（a dish made of wheat）and “dosa”（rice pancake）.In fact，Indian words from 20 per cent of entries and rank as the third-largest component after American and Australian English segments.Other former British colonies such as New Zealand，South Africa and the Caribbean islands follow the Indian English collection of words.English，despite its hiccups，is endearing to the common Indian man or woman.About 150 years after Lord Macaulay introduced the language in India to create “babus”（clerks）for the British bureaucracy，70 million Indians speak English，a number that is higher than that in Britain.However，there is a sneaking fear among Puritans that with this kind of sp read，English may stop being English.While the French have fanatically preserved the purity of their language，the English have liberally allowed other influences to affect their lingo.So，what is seen as its strength —the fact that people all over the world understand it—can be an undermining obstacle.There might be a serious problem if every state or continent were to have its own version of English.As one writer said：“There is a risk in relentless atomization.”With too many variations of the language，a time may come when one group of English-speaking people may not be able to understand another.This is happening.Hear the way Singaporeans speak English.Listen to the Australians pronouncing “e”；it sounds like “a”.A few of the films made lately by British directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh had to have subtitles in English.Accents in the north of Britain can be hard for people in the south to understand，let alone those outside the island.The point is，no language must be allowed such flexibility—anything goes in the name of functional communication—that people begin to take liberties with it.Ultimately，there may be no such thing as wrong English.The schoolboy in the Times cartoon was doing just that.He knew nobody would scold him for getting his English wrong.不久以后就没有“错误的”英语这一说了英语成了自身成功的牺牲品，前几天，伦敦的《泰晤士报》刊登了一幅漫画，上面画了一个兴高采烈的男学生炫耀他的考试成绩：“I done good in English”（我的英语成绩不错）。
