设计方案（一）

→Step 1 Revision

1. Check the homework exercises. 2. Ask some pairs to play their dialogues about differences between British English and American English in vocabulary and give some comments. →Step 2 Lead-in The teacher can first ask students to give examples about differences between British English and American English in vocabulary, and then tell them to turn to Page 15 and make clear something Amy and her American friends meet in London. →Step 3 Speaking 1. Get the students to read the dialogue and find the different words used by American and British. Make sure they know that the words used for directions often vary depending on what kind of English the speaker uses. Amy(American) subway left keep going straight block right Lady(British) underground left-hand side go straight on street right-hand side 2. Role-play Ask the students to use the words that were confusing to Amy and her friends in a role-play of their own. Tell them they had better select actual streets and location in their hometown for giving directions.

Sample version: A:Excuse me, ma’am. Would you please tell me where the nearest drugstore is?

B:Pardon? A:I said I couldn’t find the chemist’s shop.

B:Well, go round the corner on your left-hand side, straight on and cross the flyover. You will find it ahead. A:Thank you very much. C:What did she say? A:She told us to go around the corner on the left, keep going straight and then cross the overpass. The drugstore will be ahead. 3. Dialogue Ask the students to read the directions and make sure they know what to do. Remind them to use the expressions for difficulties in language communication. →Step 4 Workbook

1. Revise patterns for difficulties in language communication The teacher asks students:If you don’t hear what someone says, what should you say? Students may answer:Pardon? /I beg your pardon? /Could you say that again, please? /Could you repeat that, please? /Can you speak more slowly, please? /How do you spell it, please? /I don’t understand. /Sorry, I can’t follow you.

2. Turn to Page 48. Make a dialogue in pairs, using the expressions. Get the students to read the situations carefully to decide which one they would like to choose. Make sure they know what to do. Sample dialogue for Situation 1 (F=foreigner, Y=you) F:Excuse me, but I can’t find my friends. Could you do me a favor?

Y:Can you speak more slowly, please? F:They are waiting for me on the flyover. But I can’t find it.

Y:Sorry, I can’t follow you. Could you repeat that, please? F:I want to go to the flyover. Y:Well, walk along this street and take the first right turn on your right. Keep going straight and you’ll see it.

Sample dialogue for situation 2 (F=your father, M=your mother, Y=you, W=waitress) F:Excuse me, but I can’t find the toilet. Can you help me?

W:Er. . . toilet? It’s over there.

B:Restroom? But we don’t need to have a rest.

Y:Oh, sorry. But where is the WC? W:I beg your pardon? Y:WC. W:Sorry. There is no WC. Oh, I see. It is on the second floor. Y:Thank you very much. (Go upstairs. ) F & M:Where is the toilet? No toilet but empty rooms here. Y:Oh, I see. We are in the USA. The second floor here means the first floor. Let’s go

downstairs.

→Step 5 Speaking task

1. Turn to Page 52. Get the students to read the directions and make sure they know what to do. 2. Work in groups of three. First discuss, and then make a list of their ideas and fill in the chart. Sample dialogue: A:Now let’s try to remember what helped us most when we were first learning English. B:I remember I learned the most from seeing the words written down and doing dialogues and readings. Do you remember we used to read the dialogues in the book and then change them a little using our own words? That was very good practice. C:Yes, and I think learning the grammar and then practicing it in situations helped me a lot. A:What about listening to English? What helped us most to improve our English? B:The listening tapes going with our textbooks were very good. The VCD, which used native speakers to teach English, was very helpful. English programs on the air helped me most. C:Me too! Me too!

A:So we should say that we learned our English by listening to tapes with native speakers, by reading texts that were not too difficult, by practicing the grammar in situations, by speaking English using the dialogues and practicing the pronunciation of new words. That seems very clear. So let’s make a list.
