Teaching Procedures: Step1. Revision (1)Ask the students to review Act One: Fateful meetings. A sample summary of the act:

Eliza Doolittle, is a poor, dirty flower seller in the turn of the century England. The Pygmalion in this film is Henry Higgins (Harrison), a linguist and phonetic expert who believes that speech is what really sets the classes apart. He bets with his friend Colonel Pickering that through a change in dress and 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 escape her lower class roots. (2)

Ask Ss whether they can imagine how the story will go on in Act Two? Ask Ss to describe it to their partner. Step 2. Reading and acting (Using Language) 1. Fast reading

Purpose: To get a brief understanding of the text. Ask Ss to read this scene in two minutes and discuss the questions, and then answer them in pairs. (1) Why did Eliza go to Higgins’ home?

(2) Finally, did the professor agree to teach the girl? Why? Suggested Answers: (1) She wanted to learn to speak better from Higgins. (2) Yes, he did. Because Pickering made a bet with him. 2. Intensive reading Purpose: To get Ss to have some details in the text. 1.

Do you think Eliza is very ambitious? 2: Why did Pickering fancy himself? 3: What habits did Eliza have? 4: What do you think Higgins would have to do to change Eliza into a lady? 5: How do you think Colonel Pickering?

6: Why does Eliza collect Henry’s slippers for him although she is not a servant?

7: Why does she throw the shoes at him? 8: Why does Henry think he wins the bet? 9: Why does Eliza get upset when Henry does not congratulate her? 10: Why does Henry get upset when he hears Eliza will marry Freddy? Suggested Answers: 1: Yes, I think so. Because she still likes to learn even if Higgins treats her rudely.

2: Because he can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds. 3: She has never had a bath in her life; not over her whole body. 4: In order to have Eliza make a big change, Higgins has to teach her the alphabet. 5: I think Pickering is very kind and well-educated. 6: Although Eliza is not a servant, from her deep heart, she looks down upon herself, and think she is in the lower class. But Henry is in the higher class. So I think she collects his slippers willingly. 7: Because Henry looks down upon her, which deeply hurts her. She is very angry. 8: Because he thinks it is he who makes Eliza attractive in the party. 9: Because in Eliza’s opinion, it is she that tries her best to make other people

attracted to her. 10: In fact, he loves Eliza, I think. Ask the Ss to read the passage for a second time and fill in the blanks in the passage. The next day, Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering were

教学反思

本单元以皮格马利翁为话题，通过学习，使学生了解具有共同主题的希腊神话Pygmalion与萧伯纳戏剧之间在表现形式、人物塑造等方面的相同与不同之处；并能在此基础上，讨论和表演部分戏剧场景；即Higgins教授如何给Eliza上第二课的场景。处理本课时的几个亮点：1.要求学生从课文中找出这三个不同社会阶层的人物对不同于自己阶层的人们所持的态度；2.要求学生思考除了语言以外，哪些方面还能显示出人们社会地位的不同；3.要求学生运用所给词汇描述剧本中不同人物的性格特点。
