Unit 1 Love新编大学英语第二版第二册教案

Unit 1 LoveUseful InformationWhether it is a mother’s nurturing love for her child, a son’s loyal love for his father, the love between husband and wife, or the love between friends, love is a universal emotion that expresses itself in every culture. To love is to be human. To need love is also to be human. Children, for example, need loving care in order to be emotionally healthy.Love is a deep feeling of fondness, affection and friendship that grows between two people. Romantic love usually begins as passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense of attachment. Many of the famous romantic love stories in various cultures end in the tragedies of death or betrayal. The loss of love is a favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories, operas, songs, and ballads.The verb “like” is not as strong as the verb “love” and generally does not imply deep emotions. “Like” means to find pleasure or satisfaction in something or someone: I like eating at the restaurant; My son likes his teacher. In English, the word “love” is often used informally instead of “like” in an intensified sense: He loves music; Children love ice-cream; She loves her new job. However, “love” and “like” are not totally interchangeable. It is often the context that indica tes the strength of the word “love”. The verb “love” should not be used in the first person, when speaking to another person, except in romantic situations (I love you). When in doubt as to which verb to use, it is better to use “like” with an adverb: I li ke your dress a lot; I really like my professor; His boss liked his proposal immensely.Part One Preparation2. Can You Tell the Difference?Sample 1It’s true that motherly love is unconditional. I believe what I’ve got from my mother is the deepest love I’ve ever received. When I was at home, mother took good care of me and did what she could to meet my needs. For example, she remembered all my birthdays and bought nice birthday gifts for me, but she never celebrated hers. At home she woke me up in the morning after she had prepared breakfast. Sometimes she even combed my hair while I was having breakfast so that I could get to school on time. She treated my classmates kindly when they were with me. I know that’s because they were my good friends. Now I’m away from home, she calls me every two or three days asking about my college life and what she can do for me. It seems that my life is much more important than hers.As for fa therly love, I’m not sure if his love is conditional, but obviously it’s different from mother’s love. Father also loves me very much. He pays more attention to my education and what I’m going to be in future. He doesn’t care much about my daily life, but asks me to keep him informed of my study and progress. During my last year in high school, he was unusually patient with me. He encouraged me when I wasn’t doing well at school and helped me when I had difficulties. Father must have been a math wizard in his school days. He seemed to know all the solutions to my math problems and could point out my weaknesses. Following his instructions, I began to feel interested in math myself.Sample 2I think there’s something in his statements, although it’s hard for m e to identify whose love is fatherly and whose love is motherly in the case of my parents. Unlike most mothers in the world, my mother has been very strict with me. Maybe she thinks a boy should develop a strong, tough and persistent personality to be able to get around in this competitive world. She pays a lot of attention to my study and has been concerned with my progress. Although she didn’t receive higher education herself, she believes it is essential to me and hopes I can continue my study after I finish the undergraduateprogram. When I didn’t do well in school, mother would ask me to reflect on my failure and see how I could do better the next time. Mother would be very angry if I argued for my problem or covered any of my wrong doings. Several times when I was in my junior high school, I doubted that I was her biological son.On the other hand, my father has been very kind to me. He knows my needs and does his best to satisfy them. When mother criticized me, father would comfort me afterwards. When father had something good, he would ask me if I needed it. I still remember father bought me a lot of toys in my childhood, such as toy vehicles and robots. And he bought me a lot of books during my school years. Father even made a few of his business trips during my vacations so that he could take me with him to see the places. Now father always looks forward to my going back home before holidays. Each time he would offer me the nice things he has bought or received since I last saw him and feel very happy if I take any of them. I also enjoy his company very much, feeling secure and relaxed. That’s why I often think I have the best father in the world.3. Someone You Love MostSample 1I love my mother most, because she’s always very kind to me, unlike my father who will scold me or slap me if I make mistakes or if I am naughty. My mother is an ordinary-looking woman, but in my eyes she is very beautiful. She is very hard-working, and does almost all the housework. When I was working for the entrance examination, she was very thoughtful and never let me do any housework. When I didn’t do a good job in school, she would encourage me and hope I would do better next time. When I was hungry at night, she would fix a snack for me. She is a good cook, now it’s a pity that I am not able to have what she cooks because I am far away from home.Sample 2I spent my childhood with my grandfather because my parents were too busy to take care of me at that time. Now I often visit him, especially in holidays. He’s a very kind and knowledgeable person. He reads a lot and knows so much about the history of our country. Before I could read, he told me many interesting stories: stories about Monkey King, heroes in The Three Kingdoms and Water Margins, etc. When I was in the e lementary school, he began to buy books for me and that’s why reading is always my hobby.I believe I owe a great deal to my grandfather for my growth, physical and intellectual. He’s been taking good care of me and I often feel I’m lucky to have such a ki nd, thoughtful, intelligent and generous grandfather.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI.Pre-Reading1. I feel pity towards those who are disabled. I wonder how they can manage in their daily life and whether they have a job. I feel lucky that I’m not disabled.2. Yes. My aunt is deaf and dumb. She has been like this since her childhood. My grandmother said that she became deaf because of taking the wrong medicine. She is now more than seventy years old and she has never been married. She was very kind to me. In fact it was she who brought me up. She often felt it was unfair because she couldn’t hear. But she is very intelligent, and she is good at sewing. She sometimes kidded me with gestures that she wanted to cut off her ears becaus e they didn’t work.II. Passage ReadingNotes:1. There are five districts in N.Y. They are also called five boroughs. They are: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Central Park and Harlem are both located in Manhattan. Brooklyn is located just across the river from Manhattan.2. The subway station uses tokens and they cost about 50 cents each.3. Baseball is an outdoor game between two teams of nine players, in which players try to get points by hitting a ball and running around four bases. It is one of the most popular games in the United States.Words, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. …I was embarrassed to be seen with my father(l.1)This can be paraphrased as “I was embarrassed when the others saw me together with my father”.2. despite (l.9)e.g. Despite all our efforts to save the school, the County decided to close it.She went to Spain despite the fact that the doctor had told her to rest.同义词组:in spite ofe.g. We went out in spite of the rain.Kelly loved her husband in spite of the fact that he drank too much.3. ice-free 类似的词有:a salt-free diet, a trouble-free journey, duty-free, rent-free 等(l.14)4. …nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. (l.20)这是一句用“nor”引导的倒装句。

大学英语(2)教案use English learning strategies consciously教学重难点Using proper language to talk about English learningHow to apply the reading skill – reading for the key idea in a sentence教学材料教学方法1. 教学材料:Text A课文、练习2. 教学方法:Under the guidance of student-centered principle, apply communicative and heuristic teaching methods, stimulate students’ interest in learning English and get students involved in class participation教学过程一、课前导入Talking about your experience of learning EnglishWatch the video clip and discuss the following question in pairs.1)According to the speaker, in what ways did Chinese students learn English?Chinese students practice their English by screaming it.2)Do you agree with what he said about Chinese students learning English? 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.

Chua(traditional Chinese: 蔡美兒; simplified Chinese: 蔡美儿; pinyin: Cài Měi'ér, born) was born on October 26, 1962, the Year of the Tiger, in Champaign, Illinois. Her parents were Chinese Filipinos who emigrated to the United States. She has Hoklo ancestry from Fujian and was raised in a Hokkien-speaking, not a Mandarin Chinese-speaking, household. She lived in the Midwest until she was eight, when her father Leon Chua became a professor at UC Berkeley, and her family moved to California. Amy graduated from El Cerrito High School in 1980.She was raised as a Roman Catholic and lived in West Lafayette, Indiana. When she was eight years old, her family moved to Berkeley, California. Chua went to El Cerrito High School and graduated magna cum laude with an A.B. in Economics from Harvard College in 1984. She obtained her J.D. cum laude in 1987 from Harvard Law School, where she was an Executive Editor of the Harvard Law Review.Chua lives in New Haven, Connecticut and is married to Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld. She has two daughters, Sophia and Louisa ("Lulu"). Chua, whose husband is Jewish, has stated that her children can speak Chinese, and they have been "raised Jewish". She is the eldest of four sisters: Michelle, Katrin, and Cynthia. Katrin is a physician and a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.[13] Cynthia, who has Down Syndrome, holds two International Special Olympics gold medals in swimming.Amy L. Chua is the John M. Duff, Jr. Professor of Law at Yale Law School. She joined the Yale faculty in 2001 after teaching at Duke Law School. Prior to starting her teaching career, she was a corporate law associate at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton. She specializes in the study of international business transactions, law and development, ethnic conflict, and globalization and the law.Chua has written four books: two studies of international affairs, a memoir and her latest on Ethnic-American culture. As of January 2011, she is most noted for her parenting memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.Amy‘s first book,World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, a New York Times bestseller, was selected by both The Economist and the U.K.‘s Guardian as one of the Best Books of 2003. Professor Chua‘s second book,Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance –and Why They Fall was a critically acclaimed Foreign Affairs bestseller.Her third book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, published in January 2011, is a memoir and reflection on cultural differences in child-rearing, which ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one mother‘s journey in strict parenting technique s. Her latest book, The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America, is due to be published in February 2014, though has already attracted commentary because of purported cultural stereotyping.Amy has appeared on televisions programs such as Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Colbert Report, Charlie Rose, The Lehrer News Hour, and Real Time With Bill Maher. Her writings have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Forbes, the Financial Times,Harvard Business Review, and the Wilson Quarterly. She has addressed numerous government and policymaking institutions, including the World Bank, the Brookings Institution, the United Nations, and the CIA.At Yale Law School, Amy teaches in the areas of contracts, law and development, international business transactions, and law and globalization. She is also a recipient of the Yale Law School‘s ―Best Teaching‖ award.In 2011 Amy was named one of Time magazine‘s 100 most influential people in the world, an Atlantic Monthly Brave Thinker, and one of Foreign Policy‗s Global Thinkers of 2011.Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(《虎妈战歌》)Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a bookby Amy Chua published by The Penguin Press in2011. The complete subtitle of the book is: ―This is astory about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs.This was supposed to be a story of how Chineseparents are better at raising kids than Western ones.But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, afleeting taste of glory, and how I was humbled by athirteen-year-old.‖Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is bestsellingauthor A my Chua‘s witty, awe-inspiring, and provocative memoir, revealing the rewards—and the costs—of raising her children the strict ―Chinese‖ way.Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother was a runaway New York Times bestseller, as well as a bestseller in the U.K., Germany, Israel, Korea, Poland, China, and Taiwan. The book was the subject of a Time magazine cover story and has been translated into 30 languages.Text A is abridged from a n article published under the headline ―Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior‖ in the Wall Street Journal on January 8, 2011, which contained excerpts from her book, in which Chua describes her efforts to give her children what she describes as a tradit ional, strict ―Chinese‖ upbringing.This piece was controversial. Many readers missed the supposed irony and self-deprecating humor in the title and the piece itself and instead believed that Chua was advocating the ―superiority‖ of a particular, very stri ct, ethnically defined approach to parenting. In fact Chua has stated that the book was not a "how-to" manual but a self-mocking memoir. In any case, Chua defines ―Chinese mother‖ loosel y to include parents of other ethnicities who practice traditional, strict child-rearing, while also acknowledging that ―Western parents come in all varieties,‖ and not all ethnically Chinese parents practice strict child-rearing.Chua also reported that in one study of 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, the vast majority 'said that they believe their children can be "the best" students, that"academic achievement reflects successful parenting," and that if children did not excel at school then there was "a problem" and parents "were not doing their job."' Chua contrasts them with the view she labels ―Western‖–that a child‘s self-esteem is paramount.In one extreme example, Chuamentioned that she had called oneof her children ―garbage,‖ atranslation of a term her own fathercalled her on occasion in herfamily‘s native Hokkien dialect.Particularly controversial was the‗Little White Donkey‘ anecdote,where Chua described how she gother unwilling younger daughter tolearn a very difficult violin piece.In Chua‘s words, ―… I hauledLulu‘s dollhouse to the car and toldher I‘d donate it to the SalvationArmy piece by pie ce if she didn‘t have ‗The Little White Donkey‘ perfect by the next day. When Lulu said, ‗I thought you were going to the Salvation Army, why are you still he re?‘ I threatened her with no lunch, no dinner, no Christmas or Hanukkah presents, no birthday parties for two, three, four years. When she still kept playing it wrong, I told her she was purposely working herself into a frenzy because she was secretly afr aid she couldn‘t do it. I told her to stop being lazy, cowardly, self-indulgent and pathetic.‖ They then ―work[ed] right through dinner‖ without letting her daughter ―get up, not for water, not even for bathroom breaks.‖ The anecdote concludes by describin g how her daughter was ―beaming‖ after she finally mastered the piece and ―wanted to play [it] over and over.‖Chua uses the term "Tiger Mother" to mean a mother who is a strict disciplinarian. This use of the term appears to be fairly recent.2.

Difficult Sentences∙Despite our squeamishness about cultural stereotypes, there are tons of studies showing marked and quantifiable differences between Chinese and Westerners when it comes to parenting.Paraphrase:Although we may have some oversimplified, over-generalized or even exaggerated statements about a category of people, yet many studies show that there are lots of outstanding differences between Chinese people and Western people so far as parenting is concerned.∙Tenacious practice is crucial for excellence; rote repetition is underrated in America.Paraphrase:Constant practice is extremely important for achieving ―the best‖; rote learning is not valued in America.∙When I mentioned that I had done this at a dinner party, I was immediately ostracized.Paraphrase:When I mentioned that I had called my daughter garbage at a dinner party, immediately I was left alone, as the guests refused to talk to me and I felt kind of isolated.∙My friend, the host, tried to rehabilitate me with the remaining guests. Paraphrase:[That night due to the argument, some of the guests left early out of rage.] So my friend, the host, tried hard to help me make up with the other guests.∙By contrast, Western parents have to tiptoe around the issue, talking in terms of "health" and never ever mentioning the f-word, and their kids still end up in therapy for eating disorders and negative self-image.Paraphrase:As compared with Chinese parents, Western parents have to be very cautious about the matter in question. At most western parents may speak indirectly of a healthy lifestyle and they will never speak coarse words like ―garbage‖ or ―fat ty‖. In the end, their kids still need a therapy for unhealthy dieting and being too fat.∙They worry about how their children will feel if they fail at something, and they constantly try to reassure their children about how good they are notwithstanding a mediocre performance on a test or at a recital. Paraphrase:If their children fail at something, western parents are more concerned about their feelings, even if their children had a bad performance on a test or at a speech contest, they would try to convince their kids how good they are.∙They assume strength, not fragility, and as a result they behave very differently. Paraphrase:Chinese parents take it for granted that their kids should be strong, not weak, and as aresult they respond to the ir children‘s failure at something very differently.∙If the child's grades do not improve, they may eventually schedule a meeting with the school principal to challenge the way the subject is being taught or to call into question the teacher's credentials.Paraphrase:If the child‘s grades do not improve, western parents may well go and meet the school headmaster to know how the subject is being taught or to inquire about the teacher‘s qualifications.∙It's parents who foist life on their kids, so it's the parents' responsibility to provide for them.Paraphrase:It‘s parents who choose to give birth and bring life to their kids, so the parents have the responsibility to support their kids financially and make sure that they have the things that they need.4. Vocabulary & Expressions & Language Pointsstereotypicaladj. lacking originality or individuality带有成见的; 一成不变的;老套的;陈规的His answer was perfectly stereotypical: "Eat what you like. It won't make much difference. "他的回答很中规中矩:想吃啥就吃啥,不会有很大区别的。
