　　聽說法和任務型教學法

　　Unit 2第二課時

　　Reading & Comprehending

　　第一步：快速閱讀，Comprehending, Activity 1，學生快速閱讀課文，找出完成這道習題所需的信息，學生互相對答案，之后老師給出正確答案;

　　第二步：精讀課文，找出每個段落的主題句或者段落大意;

　　Paragraph 1: Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.

　　Paragraph 2: Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English. However, they may not be able to understand everything.

　　Paragraph 3: All languages change when cultures communicate with one another.

　　Paragraph 4: English's position as world language is yet to be clearly understood or defined.

　　第三步：詳細解釋每個段落。

　　第一段首先讓學生用已有的知識介紹自己對17—19世紀這段歷史，特別是英國及其殖民地擴張這段歷史的了解;然后老師可說明英語隨著殖民地的擴張而向外傳播，并適當補充相關的詞匯(the expansion of the British Empire, the establishment of colonies in the New Continent, the spread of English, etc.);

　　Beginning in the 17th century, and continuing well into the 19th century, the UK, which had long ago colonized Ireland and joined with Scotland, colonized much of the world: First in North America, the Caribbean, India, including what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand, Palestine, parts of sub-Sahara, Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Pacific islands.

　　What's more, American colonial rulers also brought their kind of English to Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and other Pacific islands in the late 19th century.

　　第二段教師解釋第二段提到的例子，復習上節(jié)課學習過的英式英語和美式英語的區(qū)別;

　　The biggest difference between British and American English is not in spelling but in word usage. Different English- speaking cultures sometimes use the same words in different ways. For example, British English speakers prefer to say “I've got” whereas American English speakerds simply say “I have”. In response to something that was not fully understood, a British English speaker says “Pardon?” or “Sorry?” An American English speaker is more likely to say “What's that? “Say that again? “Say what?” or even “Come again?” All of these differences are a direct result of cultures separated both geographically and historically.

　　第三段學生閱讀本段文章，理解英語的歷史和發(fā)展進程，教師補充關于英語的歷史和發(fā)展進程更詳盡的知識以及對英語發(fā)展起著重要作用的人物：Shakespeare，William Tyndale，Noah Webster, 同時舉例說明英語大量引用外來詞來擴大詞匯量(可參考背景資料);

　　第四段學生從本段找出英語目前在不同國家的地位，并預測英語未來的發(fā)展;

　　第四步：P11, Comprehending, Activity 2.學生討論并回答問題;
