课时:第 6 课时 课题:My Experience with American English
课型:Reading
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第 6 课时,核心目标为核心目标为引导学生描述与跨文化经历相关的感受,发现文化差异在语言中的体现。
2. 设计思路
拓展阅读是对单元话题拓展及延伸,谈论了英国人在美国碰到的各种因为美式英语而引起的误会和困扰。文章结构和内容较于 Reading A 更容易理解,主要介绍了五个场合下英式英语和美式英语在词汇使用上的区别。课文生词较少,但有一定描述第一次见到某物时情感的词组和句型,适合补充额外语言知识以进行深入讨论。
由此,本课以一封英文信作为导入,学生根据文本中语言的特点判断信的作者是英国人还是美国人,再让学生说出图片所示物的英文名称,体会英式英语和美式英语的区别。第一遍阅读时,学生通过第一段了解故事发生的地点,预测故事内容和作者情感;接着通过略读,获取文章体裁和结构等。第二遍阅读时,学生需理清文章中的5个场景,并根据上下文推测作者的情感。在了解了英美语言差异的基础上,学生在所给情境下进行小组讨论,尝试使用所给言语支架描述跨文化交流中可能遇到的场景。
文化链接部分介绍了不同英语国家因文化不同而存在不同词汇,可以从本文主题出发,谈论母语中存在的外来语或本民族语的影响。
3. 重点难点
从文本内容和话题出发,恰当理解语言差异性和文化差异。
