Using Language Ⅱ

教学设计

一、

教材分析：

本单元的主题是通过分析中各《窈窕淑女》个人物的性格而展开的，各项语言活动都是围绕剧本情节及作者萧伯纳来设计的。其中Using Language 部分的“阅读与表演”是本单元剧本的第二部分。剧情着重描写了卖花女伊莱扎为了改变自己的命运，来到教授希金斯家要求学习规范语言。希金斯看到伊莱扎衣着脏乱、言语举止粗俗，本不想教她，但为了和皮克林上校打赌来证明其语言观及教学能力，他同意收下伊莱扎。于是，伊莱扎在希金斯家学起了规范语言。通过真实有趣的对话，不仅让学习者在阅读过程中体验英语的语言魅力，还为学生的短剧表演提供了绝佳的语言和情景素材。

五、教学设计：

StepⅠRevision Check the homework.

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. Step Ⅱ Reading

Have the students read the play carefully and then answer the following questions. After a few minutes.

T: Now answer my questions. First: Do you think Eliza is very ambitious? S1: Yes, I think so. Because she still likes to learn even if Higgins treats her rudely.

T: Why did Pickering fancy himself? S2: Because he can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds. T: What habits did Eliza have? S3: She has never had a bath in her life; not over her whole body. T: What do you think Higgins would have to do to change Eliza into a lady? S4: In order to have Eliza make a big change, Higgins has to teach her the alphabet. T: How do you think Colonel Pickering? S5: I think Pickering is very kind and well-educated. T: Why does Eliza collect Henry’s slippers for him although she is not a servant? S6: 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. T: Why does she throw the shoes at him? S7: Because Henry looks down upon her, which deeply hurts her. She is very angry. T: Why does Henry think he wins the bet? S8: Because he thinks it is he who makes Eliza attractive in the party. T: Why does Eliza get upset when Henry does not congratulate her? S9: Because in Eliza’s opinion, it is she that tries her best to make other people

attracted to her. T: Why does Henry get upset when he hears Eliza will marry Freddy? S10: In fact, he loves Eliza, I think. After that, the teacher can lead the students to have a discussion about the ending of the play. Show the following.

1. Do you think Eliza should marry Henry? 2. Do you think Eliza should marry Freddy? 3. If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband? About ten minutes later, ask the students to present their answers.

Sample answers:

I think Eliza will marry neither Freddy nor Henry. After all Freddy does not know the past of Eliza. If one day Freddy learns about that, he will not accept all of this. He belongs to the upper class and maybe in his deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I think he is very greedy and proud. He only treats Eliza as his bet. He only wants to prove he is capable, although at last he falls in love with Eliza. However, when he truly marries Eliza, the selfishness will again appear. He will not become a good husband. As a matter of fact, Eliza has become a confident girl after experiencing these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last.

Step Ⅲ

Homework T: In Act Two, Scene 1, Eliza went to Higgins’ house for help while Colonel

Pickering was there. Higgins decided to begin his experiment. He first wanted her to take a bath and then discussed with Pickering about how to teach the girl.

Today’s homework:

1. Read the play once again.
