Module 1 British English and American English

教材分析

I. 教学内容分析

必修5是NSE教材必修系列的最后一册，是高中英语第一轮最后阶段的内容，通过本书的学习，学生应该达到高中英语七级的要求。教师应该意识到本书实际上也是一个小节，应该做到前后联系，把握整体性，为学生下一阶段的学习打下坚实的基础。模块1的主题是British English and American English。要求学生能够认识和了解两者的区别和联系，理解英语的发展和它的多元性。并且能够表达自己对Varieties of English 的看法。

本模块从四句名人名言开始，介绍了人们对于英式英语和美式英语之间关系的看法。

Introduction 部分设计四则对于英式英语和美式英语关系的名人名言和一些问题帮助分析观点，另外通过两封E-mail让学生找出英式英语和美式英语的区别，所以极能激发学生的好奇心，达到导入整个模块的效果。

Reading and Speaking是介绍英式英语和美式英语的区别的文章，分别介绍了两者在words, grammar, spelling, pronunciation方面的不同，并认为两者的区别并不影响沟通和交流。

Vocabulary 部分学习英式英语和美式英语的词汇，进一步理解两者在词汇方面的区别。

Grammar部分主要是复习两项语法项目：

1. Present simple, present continuous, present perfect and future reference.

2. for and since with present perfect Vocabulary and Listening部分第一部分设计一个pair work 探讨留学生的困难，从而引导学生说出语言沟通方面的难题。第二部分是通过选词填空复习常用词：ask, exist, happen, give, live, speak, talk 和think。第三部分是通过听一段美国留学生和英国留学生的对话了解两种英语的区别和共同点。

Everyday English通过学习复习Vocabulary and Listening中的句子学会一些非常有用的日常生活用语：How are you getting on? I didn’t get what people

were

saying. get used to, so far, That’s a good point. made a fuss of sb, cute, a couple of, pick up, wear off.

Learning to learn

是关于学会利用因特网学习研究英语，对于提高学***有很大的帮助。

Function介绍不同的方式介绍理由。

Speaking and Writing集说话和写作于一体，培养的是学生语言综合运用的能力。首先是阅读一篇关于Varieties of English 的文章。其次根据表明你对British English, American English and World English的看法，选出你认为最好的英语并给出理由。最后用英语的思维写一篇介绍汉语的由来、内容、变体和发展的文章。

Cultural Corner 通过阅读The Man Who Made Spelling Simple的文章，了解对美式英语有杰出贡献的诺亚·韦伯斯特，从而进一步了解美式英语发展的历程，并且要求同学们做出关于简化汉语方面的思考。

Task要求学生通过英特网学习两种英语在拼写和语法方面的区别，是对Learning to learn学***的一个体验。(一般来说，在每个模块的第一课时就明确任务是很有必要的，学生会在学习过程中完成任务。最后一个课时留给学生展示他们的成果，既达到了复习的效果，又让他们获得了学习的成就感。) Module File 归纳了本单元的重点词汇，语法知识，功能用语和日常用语，有利于学生的复习总结，自我检验和自学的能力。

The Chinese Language

Made of a large numbers of characters, language is the tool to express the human’s emotion. The Chinese characters, the signs of the development of China, have a history of 5000 years. After leading Chinese to civilized age, they developed jumpily, gorgeously, and became providing much food for thought, as well as the change of China. Since Chinese created the writing system, the writing system also acts the guide of Chinese advance. Chinese is one of the world’s major languages. It is spoken by more than a billion people----one fifth of the world’s population, most of who live in the People’s Republic of China. As a result of that there are many races in China; Chinese become various in different part of the country. Among the varieties of Chinese, the standard language is Mandarin which is often called in the west. Mandarin is widely used in Chinese dialects. Only half of the Chinese can speak in standard, showed in a study of 470,000 people last week. Only 66 percent of people in the cities can speak Mandarin. But only 45percent of people in the countryside can use it. The report also said that young people speak more and better than old people. People need to know Mandarin as it will help people understand each other better.

(Written by Lily and Zou Haiying in Nanxiong Middle School; Directed by Amy Dong) 2. Get on the line and find out more differences between British English and American English.

Period 2

Reading and Speaking (1)

Teaching Goals:

1. To learn about more differences between British and American English and the development of English. 2. To develop some basic reading skills—Skimming, and Scanning.

3. To deal with the new words in the text. Teaching Procedures: Step 1 Leading-in Purpose: To arouse Ss’

interest in learning about differences between British and American English.

As Ss have got on the line and prepared something for more differences between British English and American English. That’s our homework. Ask them to share the information they have found and choose the best group.

1. Group work:

How many differences have you found between British English and American English? And what are they? Please share the information you have found and try to make notes of them.

2. Team work(Competition):

According to their seats, divide the whole class into three or four teams. Try to say more information about differences between British and American English in limited time. Your opinion must be different from other teams. The most is the best. Step 2. Pre-reading Purpose: To arouse Ss’ interest in learning about our first language—Chinese. Pair work:

4

Get Ss to answer the following questions in pairs. Q1. How many main varieties of Chinese are there? Q2. In what ways are they different? Q3.Do Chinese people from different regions have problems understanding each other? Q4.What will happen to Chinese in the future? Suggested answers:

A1. There are eight main varieties, such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Minnan language, Gan language and so on. We divide the varieties into two kinds. One is Mandarin, and the other is dialect. The following map will help you get more information about the seven varieties of Chinese dialects.

1.北方话（简称：北语）：北京话为标准语（影响力强）

2.广东话（简称：粤语）：广州话为标准语（影响力强）

3.江浙话（简称：吴语）：苏州话为标准语，今多以上海话为其代表。

4.福建话（简称：闽语）：厦门话为标准语，但影响力不强[在国内一般，但在国外，特别是东南亚还是影响力挺大的] 5.湖南话（简称：湘语）：长沙话为标准语，影响力不强

6.江西话（简称：赣语）：南昌话为标准语

7.客家话（简称：客语）：梅县话为标准语，影响力比较强在广东省的梅州、河源客语区。其他地方或省份的客语区其影响力不强。

A2. They are different in pronunciation, structure and vocabulary. A3. Yes, they do. People from different regions have different dialects. But if they speak Mandarin, they have no problem understanding each other A4. In my opinion, with the development of China, more and more foreigners will learn Chinese, and Chinese will be widely used over the world. Of course, our Chinese will still study other countries’ language, especially English.

When since and for used in a present perfect sentence, since tells us the beginning of the time period while for tells the length of time. 6. Examples: ①

Visitors ________not to touch the exhibits.(NMET

2001) A. will request

B. are requested

C. are requesting

D. request 解析：答案为B。此题的时态是不难判断的，因为说的是一条规定，所以用一般现在时，而visitor与request之间是动宾关系，即request visitors not to touch the exhibits,究竟是谁要求他们这样做呢？不清楚，也不必知道，因此需要用被动语态。分析visitors与request之间的关系是此题的解题关键。

②

Selecting a mobile phone for personal use is no easy task because technology __________ so rapidly.(NMET

2001) A. is changing

B. has changed

C. will have changed

D. will change 解析：答案为A。此题考查现在进行时态的用法。句意为“选择一部移动电话不是一件容易的事，因为科技发展得十分迅速。”本句的主句一般现在时表达的是目前的情况，而“科技发展迅速”也是现阶段正存在的一种状态，不是在过去，也不是在将来，因此只能用现在进行时表达。

③

All the preparations for the task ___________, and we’re ready to start.（2000年春季高考）

A. completed

B. complete C. had been completed

D. have been completed 解析：答案为D。现在完成时表示过去年做的事对现在的影响。从and we’re ready to start句意可知，一切准备工作已经就绪，可以开始工作了。complete是及物动词，与句子的主语是被动关系，所以需要用被动语态表达。注意①分清complete与主语之间的关系；②结合语境选择正确时态。

1. Enable Ss to get some information about Noah Webster who made American English simple. 2. To deal with the exercise in workbook. 3. Enable Ss to make a conclusion of this module. Teaching Procedures: Step 1 Leading-in Purpose: To activate Ss and arouse them to talk about studying English. Ask Ss to discuss the following question in group of four or five: Is English easy to learn？(Students own answers.) Step 2 Cultural Corner Purpose:

With reading the passage, enable the Ss to get some information about Noah Webster who made American English simple.

Ask the Ss to read through the passage and answer the following questions. 1. What reasons did Webster have for writing an American dictionary? 2. Were all the suggestions adopted? 3. Did the British criticize? 4. Can you see any similarities between Webster’s work and attempts to simplify Chinese? Suggested answers: 1. He wanted to simplify the spelling of English and make it look different from British English. 2. No, they weren’t. Many of them were adopted, but others such as removing silent letters like the s in island or the final e in examine were not. 3. Yes, they did. But it quickly became a standard reference book in the States. 4.The work of simplifying Chinese has made it convenient for people to read, write, understand and use the Chinese language. So has Webster’s work for America people.
