Learning about Language

Period 3 The V-ing as the subject and object

Analyzing the teaching material: This period is about the useful words、expressions and structures learned in the reading part, from the exercises in this period, the students can consolidate what they learnt in the reading part, and learn the grammar about the V-ing form as a noun. Analyzing the students: Most students have some difficulties in understanding the V-ing form as a noun, especially it still has some characters of verbs. In order to make it clear, I design different tasks according to the students’

level and let them join in which arouse their interest and confidence.

Three Dimensional Teaching Aims：

1.Knowledge Objectives Learn how to use the V-ing as the subject and object. 2.Ability Objectives Get students learn how to use the V-ing form as a subject as well as an object based on context. 3.Emotion Objectives 1)Get students make sense of the importance of the grammar. 2)Developing the sense of group cooperation Teaching Important Points Learn how to use the V-ing form as the subject and object. Teaching Difficult Points Learn to use the V-ing form as a subject as well as an object.

Teaching Methods Asking-and-answering activity to check the students’ answers of the exercises;

individual, pair or group work to finish each task. Teaching Aids Multi-media facilities Teaching procedures: Step 1 1.Greetings. 2.Ask the students to use the first person to retell the passage about Dr Yuan, and ask them to try to use the proper conjunctions. Step 2 Discovering useful structures T:Let’s come to discovering useful structures,

at first let’s finish the exercises in this part. Do you know what does “ even a poor person can have a wish” mean?

S:It means “Wishing for things costs nothing.”

T:Very good! Now please rewrite the sentences in Ex.2 on Page 12. After five minutes, the teacher checks the answers.(Ss answer the questions one by one.) Suggested answers: 1.Helping people in need of help is nice. 2.Growing hybrid rice isn’t easy.

3.Learning more about farming isn’t difficult.

4.Doing research in the countryside isn’t easy.

5.Getting rid of hunger is very important in some African countries. 6.Explaining this again is important or we will get confused. T:Do you think it’s very easy to learn about the v.-ing form as the subject? But how about the v.-ing

form as the object? Now I’d like to check the answers of Ex.3 on Page 12. (Ss give the answers one by one.) Suggested answers: 1.Dr Yuan likes talking to rice growers about his work. 2.He continued doing research until a better strain of rice was found. 3.Many city kids look forward to visiting the countryside. 4.Not all students enjoy working in the fields. 5.They started producing hybrid rice in 1974. 6.I remember meeting the scientist while he was in Beijing last time. Step 3 Practice T:Today,we are going to learn the v.-ing

as a noun.So at first who can tell me what a noun can be used as in a sentence? And please give me some examples. S:It can be used as subject. For example: Smoking is harmful to our health. T:Now I think you have known how to use the v.-ing

as subject. But how about others? S:It can also be used as object. For example: I have forgotten seeing this film. T:You are right. The v.-ing

form can be used as object, too. Now let’s come to know more about it. T:Very good.(The teacher may give a systematical explanation of the grammar.) Some complements: Some verbs are always followed by the ‘v.-ing’, for example: can’t help, dislike, enjoy, fancy, (can’t) face, mind, practise, (can’t) stand, suggest, consider, miss, avoid and so on. I can’t stand doing maths homework. verbs + ‘to-infinitive’

Some verbs are always followed by the ‘to-infinitive’, for example: agree, appear, ask, attempt, want, decide, expect, hope, plan, refuse, pretend, promise, seem and so on.
