Unit 7 Means of communication F Project 教学设计
I. Teaching Objectives
Guide students to conduct a questionnaire survey on communication means across different ages, mastering steps of questionnaire design, data collection, and oral report preparation.
Develop students’ ability to work in groups, collaboratively creating survey tools, analyzing results, and presenting findings using TEEN SKILL (group oral report preparation).
Enhance awareness of communication evolution over time, fostering critical thinking about how age and technology shape interaction habits.
II. Language Knowledge
1. Key words & phrases
Survey components: questionnaire, communication means, frequency of use, oral report
Historical communication: letter, fax, telephone (past); smart phone, social media (present)
TEEN SKILL expressions: “Let’s review the survey findings...”, “Based on the data...”, “We should organise our report...”
Functional language for surveys: “Thirty years ago, how did you communicate?”, “Tick all the ways you use now”
2. Key sentences
Model questionnaire (Step 1): “Thirty years ago, how did you communicate with people? Tick every means you used back then.”
Oral report (Step 5): “Based on our survey, people over 60 use letters more, while teenagers prefer social media—this shows communication changes with age.”
3. Key and challenging points
Questionnaire Design: Creating clear, relevant questions about past, present, and future communication.
Data Analysis: Classifying responses by age, identifying trends (e.g., older vs younger communication habits).
Group Presentation: Collaboratively preparing and delivering an oral report using TEEN SKILL to structure ideas.
III. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Model Analysis — Understanding Surveys (8 minutes)
Step 1 Model Study (4 minutes):
Students analyze the model questionnaire, identifying information it includes:
Past communication means (letter, fax, telephone).
Present means (smart phone, social media).
Frequency of use, favorite means with reasons.
Discuss: “Why include different age groups? (To see how communication changes over time).”
Survey Purpose Discussion (4 minutes):
Explain the task: “We’ll create our own questionnaire, survey people, and report findings—let’s learn from the model!”
Step 2: Listening — Oral Report Structure (7 minutes)
Step 2 Model Report (4 minutes):
Play the model oral report audio. Students note what it covers:
Age - based classification of responses.
Key statistics (e.g., “60 - year - olds use letters once a week”).
Conclusions (e.g., “Older people prefer traditional means; younger like digital”).
Highlight TEEN SKILL: “Using ‘Let’s review findings’ and ‘Based on data’ to structure the report.”
Report Components Highlight (3 minutes):
List oral report parts on the board: Introduction, Data Classification, Trend Analysis, Conclusion.
Step 3: Group Work — Questionnaire Design (12 minutes)
Step 3 Group Formation (4 minutes):
Students form groups of 4 - 5. Assign roles: Question Designer, Response Analyst, Presenter, Recorder.
Explain roles: Designers create questions; Analysts plan data sorting; Presenters practice speaking; Recorders take notes.
Questionnaire Creation (8 minutes):
Groups design their questionnaire, following Step 3:
Questions: About past (e.g., “20 years ago, what was your main communication method?”), present (e.g., “What apps do you use most now?”), and future (e.g., “What new communication tool do you want?”).
Choices: Include options like letter, email, smart phone, social media; add “Others” for unique answers.
Example question: “How often do you use social media? (Daily / Several times a week / Rarely).”
Step 4: Data Collection — Conducting the Survey (8 minutes)
Step 4 Survey Execution (5 minutes):
Groups distribute questionnaires to people of different ages (classmate, teacher, family member).
Remind TEEN SKILL: “Be polite—‘Could you please fill this survey?’; collect completed forms.”
Data Initial Review (3 minutes):
Groups briefly look at responses, noting obvious trends (e.g., “Most teens ticked ‘social media’ for present use”).
Step 5: Preparation — Oral Report Collaboration (10 minutes)
Step 5 TEEN SKILL Application (6 minutes):
Groups use TEEN SKILL to prepare the report:
Review findings: “Let’s list responses by age—over 50s use letters; under 30s use social media.”
Analyze results: “Older groups prefer traditional means for personal touch; younger for speed.”
Organise report: “Introduction: survey purpose; Data: age - based trends; Conclusion: communication evolves with technology.”
Rehearsal (4 minutes):
Presenters practice delivering the report, using expressions like “Based on our data...”, “We conclude that...”.
Step 6: Presentation — Sharing Survey Findings (10 minutes)
Step 6 Oral Report (6 minutes):
Groups present their reports to the class, focusing on:
Clear structure (introduction → data → conclusion).
Use of TEEN SKILL expressions.
Highlighting key trends (e.g., “Smart phones are the most used present method across all ages”).
Reflection & Discussion (4 minutes):
Class discusses: “What surprised you? How do communication means reflect societal changes?”
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Formative Assessment:
Check Step 1 - 3 for survey understanding, group collaboration, and questionnaire quality.
Observe Step 4 - 5 for data collection, TEEN SKILL use in report prep.
Summative Assessment:
Evaluate group presentations for:
Content (30%): Clear survey questions, relevant data analysis.
Structure (30%): Proper use of TEEN SKILL, logical report flow.
Delivery (20%): Engaging presentation, clear speaking.
Collaboration (20%): Equal role contribution, teamwork.
V. Design Purpose
Project - Based Learning: Guides students through real - world research steps (survey design → data collection → reporting), linking language to understanding communication evolution.
Intergenerational Insight: Encourages interaction with different age groups, highlighting how time and technology shape communication.
Teamwork & TEEN SKILL: Builds collaboration skills and effective oral reporting, preparing students for group projects and public speaking.
VI. Blackboard Design
Unit 7 F Project — Communication Evolution Survey
Questionnaire Components:
Past communication: letter, fax, telephone
Present communication: smart phone, social media
Frequency, favorite means
TEEN SKILL for Reports:
“Let’s review findings...”
“Based on data, we can conclude...”
“Organise report clearly: intro → data → conclusion”
Key Trends (Example):
Older: Prefer letters (personal touch)
Younger: Prefer social media (speed, connectivity)
VII. Teaching Reflection
If groups struggle with questionnaire design, provide a “question bank” (e.g., past/present/future prompts).
For data analysis, use a “trend table” (age vs method) to organize responses. Celebrate creative reports that highlight unique findings (e.g., “Grandparents use emails more than we thought—they’re adapting to technology!”).
