Teaching procedures教学过程

Step Ⅰ Lead-in T: Good morning, everyone! S: Good morning, teacher! T: Sit down, please! For this period, let’s look at the screen first.

(Show a flash on the screen, in which two people are talking.)

A: A nice day, isn’t it?

B: Yes. The sun is bright, but not so hot. A: Mm. It’s quite a good day for outing. But I wonder if it will continue to the weekend. B: So do I. Weather changes so quickly.

You see, it was raining yesterday. A: You said it. Oh, look! Here comes the

bus! B: Yes, let’s get on.

T: Now, let’s look at some questions on the screen. 1.

Where does the conversation take place? 2.

What’s the topic they talk about?

3.

Is the topic important or not important? 4.

Is the conversation serious or informal? Sample answers: 1.

At a bus stop. 2.

Weather. 3.

Not important. 4.

Informal and friendly. T: As for this kind of informal and friendly conversation about unimportant topics, we call it small talk. T: As we can see, the topic of small talk usually comes unimportant, but small talk itself is very important. It can help us to make it easy to develop new friendships, and can also “break the ice” before important meetings or other events.

But not all people are good at doing small talk. It is difficult not only for English learners, but also for native speakers of English. Because making small talk means talking about everything, that means you should have a wide vocabulary in almost every topic. You may have good vocabulary in some topics, but as for some unfamiliar topics, your words will be limited. Therefore, some social skills for making small talk appear very important for us. So, in this period, we will learn some of the social skills. [设计说明] 此部分一方面旨在引出Small Talk的定义，使学生明白什么是Small Talk；

另一方面让学生明白Small Talk不仅是重要的，也是不容易做的，从而引出social skills在做Small Talk中的重要性，为本节课讲social skills打下铺垫。

Step Ⅱ Structure Analysis(3ms) T: Open your books at page 2 and scan the text, that is, read the text quickly and divide the 8 paragraghs into 4 parts. I will give you only 3 mins to do this job. We can see the structure of this passage is very clear. It has introduction parts and some subtitles here. So, I think it is very easy for you to finish this task. Part 1 Para. 1—2 Introduction to the body of the passage by asking questions. Part 2 Para. 3 Be prepared before doing small talk. Part 3 Para. 4—7 Develop your listening skills. Part 4 Para. 8 Learn some social rules. T: All of you have done a very good job, better than expected. From this exercise, we can see the importance of first paragragh and subtitles. They usually give the main idea of a passage or a paragragh. So, we must pay attention to them when we do reading exercies and writing compositions. [设计说明] 此部分旨在培养学生通过主旨段和副标题迅速掌握文章结构、脉络的能力，为以后快速解答阅读理解题和写作文奠定基础。

Step Ⅲ Skimming(1 min) Skim the passage and decide what kind of book it is from. Choose from the list. 1.

an English teaching book 2.

a business course 3.

a book which tells you what to do at social events 4.

a book to help you prepare for a speaking examination Answer: 3 [设计说明] 在第一遍阅读之后，同学们已经掌握了文章的结构，因此便知道了文章的主要内容，从而便很容易判断文章的类型以及出处。

Step Ⅳ Detailed-reading (6ms)

Read the passage again and answer the questions in Activity 3,page 3. Answers: 1.

Yes, they should prepare some topics to talk about. 2.

They are not impressive. 3.

Look at your watch; yawn (sigh, look away, change the subject, finish other people’s sentences).

4.

To show that you are listening. 5.

People like talking about themselves. [设计说明] 在掌握了文章的结构之后，便应该进行详细阅读了。通过详细阅读文章并回答相关问题，学生会对文章中所讲述的social skills有所了解了，这也是本课的中心内容。

Step ⅤSkimming

Task 1: Skim the passage and find out some examples of low-risk conversation openers. Answers: ●

Task 2: Skim the passage and fill in the blanks. Dos Don’ts have some low-risk topics look at your watch show that you are listening yawn keep good eye contact sigh use positive body language look away from the person …

Task3: Skim the passage and find out some social rules in different cultures. ●

age, politics, religion, death, financial(salary) [设计说明] 本部分旨在学生在大体上了解了social skills之后，对本文所提到的social skills 进行详细的回顾和再认，使学生进一步地理解并掌握这些social skills。

Step ⅥConclusion

Summarize the social skills of doing small talk. 1. Be prepared before doing small talk (low-risk conversation openers) 2. Develop your listening skills (do’s and don’ts) 3.

Step Ⅶ Speaking Make up a small talk with what we have learnt in this period. You may talk about the following topics: Sports, Hobbies, Weather, Family, Media, Food,
