Step I Revision and Lead-in 1.

Check the homework. Ask the Ss to review Act One: Fateful meetings. A sample summary of the act: Eliza Doolittle, is a poor, dirty flower seller in the town of the centre England. The Pygmalion in this film is Henry Higgins, a linguist and phonetic expert who believes that speech is what really sets the classes apart. He bets with his friends Colonel Pickering that through a change in dress and speech he can turn the lower class Eliza into a lady speech, he can turn the lower class Eliza into a lady that will fool high society. The only thing in the bet for Eliza is that she might be able to [open her own flower shop and somewhat escaper her lower class roots.

Step II Reading 1. Have the students read the play carefully and then find the basic information: Time, Place, Characters, Plot.

(After a few minutes.) T: Now answer my questions.

2. The teacher can lead the Ss to answer the questions from two parts: Who can distinguish more vowel sounds, Higgins or Pickering? What are the Higgins, Colonel and Mrs Pearce’s attitudes towards Eliza?

What was the disagreement between Henry and Pickering about?

3. After that, the teacher can lead the Ss to have a discussion about the ending of the play. Show the followings. 1.

Do you think Eliza should marry Henry? 2.

Do you think Eliza should marry Freddy? 3.

If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband? After a few minutes, ask the Ss to present their answers. Step III Language Points Deal with some language points as follows. 1.

I rather fancied myself because I can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds… (I have a very high opinion of myself because I can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowels sounds.) 2.

I’m not asking any favors-and he treats me like dirt. (I’m not begging for help and I know he looks down upon me.) 3.

But you can’t overlook that! (You can’t fail to see or notice that! )

4.

Eliza throws herself into a chair. (Eliza begins to sit into a chair.) 5.

What’s to become of me? (What will happen to me?)

Step IV Reading Task 1.
