1、Good morning ,everyone. Its my great pleasure to stand here to present my lesson plan. It is a reading type lesson. The reading material is from PEP NSEFC Module1 Unit2-English around the World. The topic of this unit is English language, its development and different kinds of English. This passage
2、talks about the development of English, from old English to Modern English. The analysis and rearrangement of teaching material To help students understand better , I have made following rearrangement . Since Para.1 and para.5 both talk about the English spread in space. Para.3 and para.4 both talk
3、about the development of English in the time order. And para.4 mentioned the difference between British English and American English in spelling , students will follow to learn another difference in para2, ,which is the different English expression. So the teaching order is not from para.1 to para.5
4、 one by one, instead, firstly, para1 and para5, secondly, para3 and para4 and lastly, para2. With the two clear clue, Ss will understand the passage more logically and easily. The analysis of learning condition As the center of my class, my students have already acquired a certain amount of words an
5、d expressions , and equipped with basic reading skills, which make it possible to generally understand the passage. While they have learned English for several years, they are still in lack of the background knowledge of the English, such as the history of English , how it changes and why. Whats mor
6、e, they need more chance to practice the reading skills, so that they can use correctly and freely. Concerning of the teaching material and my students learning condition , I set following achievable and practical Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to achieve the Language
7、skills 1) As a famous linguistic said “reading is a psycholinguistic guessing game”, prediction ability plays an important role on reading effectively and efficiently. So in this lesson, students will continually practice such ability to guess “ road” mean , and based on the understanding of the tit
8、le to predict the reading content. 2) Another main reading skill to develop is to get the main information- finding the key words in a sentence to summarize the English feature in different time 3) Since reading as a input process, students need to transfer the information into their own , so retell
9、ing is a good way to check their learning. Students will ask to retell the passage with the help of the offered clues and key words, so their speaking ability will have another practice. 2. Language knowledge 1) Know the meaning and usage of new words, phrases and sentences properly, such as: rule (
10、used as a verb), make voyage to conquer ect. Whats more , they can use it correctly and freely 2) Ss will have deeper understand the topic of English and Know the difference between American English and British English in spelling and expression. And the terms of “first language “ ,” second language
11、 , “ foreign language “. 3. Affects Students will have deeper impression of the popularity of English speaking by being offered the specific figures , so they will realize the importance of learning English and have higher motivation to learn. Additionally, they can consider a language age as an dev
12、eloping process instead of a static one. 4. Learning strategies 1) communicate strategy: According to the new curriculum criteria, the teaching process should be an interactive process: by interacting with teacher and classmates, students can achieve accomplishments easily and happily . so students
13、will encouraged to communicate with others in English politely and fluently not only in class but also after class. 2) resource strategy Ss can develop their resource strategy by searching the internet to learn more about the English language. 5. Cultural awareness 1) Since language as the media of
14、culture, students will realize that learning a language and learning its history should be hand in hand. So while learning the development of English, students will consider more about the history. Only by doing so, they will have a wild cultural mind. 2) Since many important person played important
15、 roles in English development, students will learn from such famous person by getting more information. Language focuses 1. Predicting, scanning and retelling 2. The new words and expressions and the language points which are associated with them 3. The development of English Anticipated difficultie
16、s 1. Employ different reading skills to understand the text accurately. 2. Grasp the knowledge about the development of English and retell it. Teaching methods According to Stanovich s opinion :reading is an interactive process, involving knowledge of the world and various types of language knowledg
17、e , any of which may interact with any other to contribute to text comprehension. So I mainly adopt interactive- compensatory approach. Teaching aids Multimedia devices and PPT documents Teaching procedure: Now I will present my teaching procedure. I mainly adopt the three stage models: pre-reading;
18、 wile-reading; post-reading lead in (5mins) At the beginning of the class, I will lead in the reading material by the following two activities: First I will offer two pictures. One is a piece of written paper, which looks like musical composition, and another picture is a ring, on which carves the u
19、nfamiliar words . I will ask them to guess what are they , and lead to the answer that they are old English. By creating the information gap, students will have a high motivation to learn more about old English . The second activity is that I will encourage students to try to translate four sentence
20、s take from Robert burns: red, red rose. During the process, students will not only realize the difference between old English and modern English but also enjoy the pleasure of translation. These two lead-in activities will naturally arouse their motivation to know what has actually happened to Engl
21、ish. So, it would be easy for my students to learn that the word”road “in the tile ,which mean the “development” While-reading Step1 fast reading (6mins) Ativity1: After understanding the title, students will ask to predict how would the author illustrate the development of modern English ,if he or
22、she was the writer what aspects of English would be mentioned. Activity2: Then skimming the passage to check their prediction and get that the whole passage can be divide two parts: one is the way of English spread, which is in the space aspect, and the other is about the way of English change, whic
23、h is in the time order. With this two clues ,students will have a clear understand of the passage. Step2 careful reading p1/5 (10mins) Activity1 Before learning the English spread, I will ask students to guess how many people are speaking English ,how many countries take English as their official la
24、nguage. By making the contrast the English use in 16c ,students will realize the popularity of English and the importance of learning English . Activity 2 Then students will go though paragraph1 and 5 to list the English spoken countries, and learn the difference of the terms : first language, secon
25、d language , foreign language . Activity 3 Students read paragraph1 and 5 again and find when and why English began to spoken in other countries. So the students will learn about the history of British exploration age and learn the important term “ make voyage to conquer”, and the new word “ colony”
26、 Activity 4 guess “where am I from” While the spreading, English has borrowed many words from other countries, so students will try to match the words with the country they come from. This interesting activity will help students to realize that if we want to keep a language alive, we must keep a wid
27、e mind to keep up with the tome and bring into others word Step 3 careful reading p2-4 (15mins) Activity 1. Read p3-4 to find the key time, and fill in the blanks of the table ,which is about the English feature in certain time. As the passage mentions many important person who made great contributi
28、on to the English change , I will add more personal information to help students better understand Activity 2. Since the p4 mentioned the American English identity , students after learning the different spelling of some words, they will ask to read p2 to learn different expression . Post-reading 1.
