教学设计说明
About the topic and the structures
单元话题和结构
本单元的话题是English around the world/世界各地的英语，介绍了英语的种种变体，如加拿大英语、英国英语、美国英语、澳大利亚英语和印度英语。
英语在下列国家和地区是第一语言：澳大利亚、巴哈马、爱尔兰、巴巴多斯、百慕大、圭亚那、牙买加、新西兰、圣克里斯多福及尼维斯、特立尼达和多巴哥、英国和美国。
贯穿于本单元的句法项目是“直接引语和间接引语（II）：恳请和要求”。同时单元教材还要求学生学习提出意见、学习组织观念。
《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排等因素，对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时，裁剪、拼接使用教案提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以按照教案提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1
Reading
阅读课
Warming Up
“热身”的目的是为阅读在一定程度上作好话题、词汇和结构的准备，激发学生相关的背景知识和学习兴趣。对此教案提供了“列表”、“问答”和“给出理由”三种不同的“热身”设计供教师选用。实际操作中还需要教师动用诸如板书、投影等辅助手段，以达到最佳教学效果。
Pre-reading 部分要求学生思考“我们为什么学英语？”，帮助学生挖掘和呈现自己的背景知识，为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。
Reading 是篇exposition说明文，说明了英语的演变和英语的各种变体。教师可以参照教案提供的“表格”、“结构图”引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读文章，同时为下一节知识课“运用间接引语表达恳请和要求”作好铺垫。
Period 2
Learning about language
知识课
Learning about language 首先要求学生利用录音机朗读课文，强化学生对本单元重点词汇、短语、结构和话题的掌握；然后要求学生完成课本第11、12页提供的“词法”“句法”练习。接下来系统学习和总结“直接引语和间接引语”。
Period 3
Using language
运用课
Using language 重点是依照教案提供的“段落大意”和“词语学习”材料引导学生阅读课本13页短文；然后听方言英语录音，完成教案提供的表格；在“说”了课本15页的会话之后，还可以让学生操练教案提供的会话材料。在“写”之前，可以使用提供的“头脑风暴”，激发思维、获得素材；最后教师可以帮助学生阅读教案提供的关于英语学习经历的范文，加深对英语学习规律性、艰巨性的认识。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1
将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2
将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS
AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3
将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课（一）”。
Period 4
将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5
将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课（二）”。

(STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS)
Introduction
Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, expressions, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit.
Objectives
■ To help students read about STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS
■ To help students listen to dialects in English
■ To help students act out conversation and write their own
■ To help students brainstorm for reasons why we learn English and make a poster about learning English
Procedures
1. Warming up by making a list
There is not a single English in the world. There are varieties of Englishes. That is, there are many different dialects of English in the world. We are going to make a list of dialects of the English language.
International English or World English
Commonwealth English, Native American English, North American English
Mid-Atlantic English, South Asian English, East Asian English
2. Reading
⑴Reading for main ideas
Turn to page 13. We are going to read the text quickly to find the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Para. 1: There is no such a thing as Standard English.
Para. 2: English has many dialects whose words and expressions are different from “standard English”.
Para. 3: Geography plays a part in making dialects.
⑵Going to the details
Do you have any difficulties with the structure and the words in the passage?
Now we shall talk about them in detail.
Language focus

there is no such a …as: used to say that a particular person or thing does not exist: These days there is no such a thing as a job for life.
standard English: the form of English that most people in Britain use, and that is not limited to one area or group of people
dialect: a variety of a language spoken only in one area, in which words, or grammar are slightly different from other forms of the same language
play a part/role in: be one of the causes that make something happen: Besides dieting, exercising plays an important part in losing weight.
3. Listening
Let’s go to page 14. We are going to listen to a boy named Buford speaking a southern dialect of AmE with an East, Texas accent.
You know pronunciation is determined by accent. I am speaking with accent, too. It is a Chinese accent.
On the other hand, Buford’s teacher, Jane, speaks standard BrE. That’s what is heard on the BBC.
I am going to play the tape twice for you to listen to answer the four questions on page 14.
Next listen once more to complete the form below giving the standard equivalents for the dialectic words from Buford’s story, using the context.

More sample versions for practice:
S1: Excuse me, sir. But I can’t find the drugstore?
S2: Pardon?
S1: I said I couldn’t find the chemist’s shop.
S2: Well, go round the corner on your right-hand side, straight on and cross the flyover. You will find it ahead.
S1: Thank you very much.

A Sample poster

Can you organize your ideas in a logical way?
Have you made a brainstorming map before you set out to design your poster? Do you think it helps your writing?
What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing? What can you do to avoid such mistakes?
8. Closing down by reading article about learning English
My experience of learning English
Many people all over the world speak English as their second language. It is not too much to say that it has become an international language.
Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that way.
It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it will be fun and it will expand your view of the world. If you make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often and then you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs and habits of different cultures.
There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners because they are not confident of their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will get your key words in the sentence and figure out the whole meanings. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid to make friends with them; just go head!
Learning English helps us meet different people and learn more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.

A selected English passage for recitation英文精选背诵短文
Learn English through reading
Read English texts as often as you can.
This could be the news, short stories or novels, texts from your textbook or the Internet. Choose an interesting text that is not too difficult for you (otherwise it wouldn’t be fun).
Don’t look up every word which is new to you — even without a dictionary you will understand a lot. Just concentrate on what you do understand and try to find out the rest by intelligent guessing. That works rather well, especially if you are interested in the topic. If you are a football fanatic for example, you probably won’t have problems understanding an English text about football. On the other hand, someone who is better in English than you but not interested in football will have more problems understanding the same text.
Do also watch the news in your native language and try to find English news to some of the topics. Even if you don't understand every word in the English text, you will get the message as you already know what the text is about.
Read between the lines. (185 words)
