Teaching procedures & ways

教学过程与方式

Step Ⅰ

Revision Check the answers to Homework 1 and answer any questions they may ask.

Step Ⅱ

Vocabulary Learning vocabulary is one of the big challenges for the students. By explaining new

words in English and reading the examples, the students can master new words easily and make correct use of them. At the same time, the students can form a good habit of turning to a dictionary when they meet a new word. Task 1 Quiz T: Have you previewed the new words? Can you explain these words in English? Let’s have a try. Each student explains one word. Words and their English definitions: headmaster / headmistress: principal man or woman in a school, responsible for organizing it

choice: act of choosing between two or more possibilities topic: subject of a discussion or talk

timetable: list showing the time at which certain events will take place

translation: expressing in another language

exam: testing of knowledge or ability by means of questions, practical exercises, etc. library: room or building where books are kept revision: preparation for an examination

period: length of time

vacation: holiday

Task 2 Practice Ask and answer questions in Activity 1 on P15 so that the students can be more familiar with the new words. Sample answers: 1. We do some exam revision. Generally, we spend two or three weeks. 2. Yes. At the beginning of our English classes we often translate some sentences, new words and phrases. 3. Yes. We have a free period on Thursday afternoons. 4. A headmistress. 5. About one hour every week. We don’t have enough free time. 6. Yes. We have different topics in our English classes, such as English around the world, festivals, sports, famous scientists, travel and so on.

T: Discuss in groups of four. Tick the easiest and the most difficult, then ask for help or give advice. Samples: 1. S1: My writing is not very good. There are always so many errors. Who can help me? S2: Why not write five sentences everyday and get an English pen friend? Practice makes perfect. S1: Thank you for your advice. I’ll have a try. 2. S1: I dislike conversations. It’s very hard to express myself in English. S2: You’d better watch some English programmer on TV and try to imitate the speakers.

S1: That’s a good idea. T: Really nice advice and suggestions. Exchange your ideas about language learning and you will benefit a lot. Don’t you agree? Next, let’s come to Activity 5. Explain the connection between these words and phrases. Study the example first and finish the rest.

Check their answers in class. Step Ⅲ

Listening and Discussion

T: Look at Activity 2 on P15. First fill in the blanks with the words in bold in Activity 1 before you listen to the tape. Then we will listen to the tape to check your answers.

T: I think Mr Stanton must be a popular teacher. Do you agree with me? Write some words to describe Mr Stanton by finishing the table on the blackboard. Students try to finish the table on the blackboard. Positive (+)

Suggested answers: Positive (+) Negative (-)

Negative (-)

kind and patient friendly not organized not good at deciding what to do try to be one of the not know what the students students listen to the students like his students need unable to draw students’

attention on the lesson lack of discipline in his class T: Well done! Would you like to have Mr Stanton as your teacher? Why or why not? Tell your partners. After their discussion, ask some students to tell their opinions in class. S1: In my opinion, this class is wonderful. Mr Stanton is a good friend of his students. Every student will express his own idea, so the students can learn English happily. S2: I like to be a student of Mr Stanton. In his class, the students have equal chance of choosing topic according to their own interest. S3: I don’t agree with them. According to the conversation, the students need not prepare anything for this lesson. So I don’t think they can master what they will learn. Also the class is not organized, and he wastes a lot of time in announcing something that is not connected with the class. Maybe some students want to know what the headmaster will tell them but not what they will revise. Step Ⅳ

Everyday English Dictate the expressions in everyday English. Explain them if necessary. Then complete the conversations with these expressions. T: We’ll have a dictation. Listen carefully and write down the expressions. After dictation, ask some students to explain the expressions. Give some help when necessary. Sample explanations: Kids: boys and girls It’s up to you: It’s left to you to decide.

That’s settled: The choice is made.

A couple of things: A few things

Take a look: Have a look. Have you got that: Understand? T: Now please turn to P18 and complete the conversations with the expressions above. After the students finish them, check their answers in class. T: Let’s make another conversation with these expressions. A sample conversation: S1: Attention, kids. There are a couple of things to tell you. We have a new timetable. Take a look after class. We’ll start our classes at 2:30. Don’t be late tomorrow. Have you got that? S2: Yes.

S1: We will decorate our classroom this weekend. I’ve prepareｄ
