Unit 7 Means of communication D Listening and speaking 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives Guide students to explore diverse communication means (ancient to modern), mastering listening skills to identify details (e.g., modern communication tools, historical timelines) and speaking skills to discuss preferences, technology impacts, and “better ways” to communicate. Develop students’ ability to listen for specific information (e.g., communication methods, problem - solving in calls), and speak cohesively using “Useful expressions” to introduce favorite communication means. Enhance awareness of communication evolution (from oracle bones to internet), fostering critical thinking about technological influence on daily interaction. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key words & phrases Communication means: smart phone, email, social media, shouting, internet, mobile phones, video chatting Listening for details: handwriting, stamp, email address, subject, send button, frozen image Speaking expressions: “What’s your favourite means...?”, “Why do you like it?”, “How does it work?” Cultural link: Jiaguwen (oracle bone inscriptions), ancient Chinese communication 2. Key sentences Listening (D2 - D7): “To put pen to paper...”, “The only thing you need is...”, “What’s wrong with the man’s computer?” Speaking (D4, D8 - D9): “Which one is your first choice...?”, “Is there a better way to communicate?”, “My favourite means is... because...” 3. Key and challenging points Listening Precision: Capturing sequential steps (e.g., writing a letter, sending an email) and problem details (e.g., frozen video, computer issues). Speaking Coherence: Using “Useful expressions” to structure discussions about communication preferences and evolution. Cultural Connection: Linking ancient (oracle bones) and modern means, understanding how technology shapes interaction. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm - up & Cultural Link (7 minutes) D1 & Culture Link (4 minutes): Discuss D1: “How many communication means do you know? (e.g., letters, phones, social media)”, introducing Jiaguwen (oracle bones) as ancient Chinese communication. Share: “Today we’ll explore communication from ancient times to now—let’s start with daily life methods!” Vocabulary Preview (3 minutes): Present key terms (smart phone, email, social media, video chatting) with visuals (phone icons, email symbols), linking to listening tasks. Step 2: Listening — Modern Communication Means (12 minutes) D2 - D3 Listening (6 minutes): Play D2 audio: Students tick modern means (smart phone, email, social media). Play D3 audio: Complete the diagram for mail, email, social media: Mail: “To put pen to paper, choose the words... put a stamp...”, Email: “Type receiver’s address, add subject... click send”, Social media: “Need a platform, connect people closer”. Check answers, emphasizing sequential steps (e.g., letter - writing process). D6 - D7 Timeline & Problem Listening (6 minutes): Match D5 pictures (shouting, internet, mobile phones, video chatting) to timelines (D6). Play audio to confirm: 2.6 million BCE: by shouting, 1989: by internet, 1997: by mobile phones, 2020: by video chatting. Answer D7 questions about call problems (e.g., “Computer froze”, “Woman felt annoyed”). Step 3: Speaking — Discussing Communication (15 minutes) D4 Group Discussion (7 minutes): Students discuss D4 questions: “Which one is your first choice to communicate? Why?” “Do you prefer different means for different people? (e.g., email for work, social media for friends)”. Use sentence frames: “I choose social media first because it’s fast... but I use email for teachers.” D8 - D9 Persuasive Speaking (8 minutes): Groups discuss D8: “Is there a better way to communicate?”, then D9: “Introduce your favourite means.” Model D9: “My favourite is video chatting—it works by connecting calls, and I like it because I can see family far away.” Encourage using “Useful expressions” (e.g., “What’s the technology behind it?”, “Who do you usually communicate with?”). Step 4: Integration & Reflection (11 minutes) Communication Evolution Summary (5 minutes): Students summarize evolution: “From shouting (ancient) to video chatting (modern)—technology changes how we connect.” Link to Jiaguwen: “Ancient people used oracle bones; now we use phones—both share information!” Personal Reflection (6 minutes): Ask: “How has communication changed your life? What’s one thing you’d improve about modern means?” Share reflections, focusing on balance (e.g., “I love video calls, but sometimes prefer handwritten letters for emotions”). IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Formative Assessment: Check D2 - D3 for listening accuracy (modern means, sequential steps). Observe D4, D8 - D9 for speaking coherence, use of “Useful expressions”. Summative Assessment: Evaluate D9 presentations for: Clarity (30%): Clear explanation of favourite means, how it works. Persuasion (30%): Convincing reasons (e.g., “I like it because...”). Expression Use (40%): Proper use of “What’s your favourite...?”, “Why do you like it?”. V. Design Purpose Skill Integration: Combines listening (detail capture, timeline matching) and speaking (discussion, persuasion) to explore communication evolution. Cultural & Technological Awareness: Connects ancient (oracle bones) and modern means, helping students appreciate technology’s role in shaping interaction. Real - Life Relevance: Focuses on daily communication choices, encouraging critical thinking about “better ways” to connect. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 7 D Listening & Speaking — Communication Evolution Modern Means (D2): smart phone, email, social media Timeline & Methods (D5 - D6): 2.6 million BCE: by shouting 1989: by internet 1997: by mobile phones 2020: by video chatting Speaking Expressions: “What’s your favourite means...?”, “Why do you like it?”, “How does it work?” VII. Teaching Reflection If students struggle with listening timelines, provide visual “era cards” (ancient, modern) to match methods. For speaking, role - play “communication consultants” to practice D9 introductions. Celebrate creative ideas (e.g., “A better way: hybrid of mail and video calls for personal + visual connection”). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
