Lead - in (5 minutes) Show students some pictures of people from different countries greeting each other in various ways, such as shaking hands, hugging, or bowing. Ask students: “Do you know why they greet in these different ways? What does it tell us about their cultures?” Encourage students to share their thoughts and lead to the topic of cultural differences. 2. Knowledge Presentation (10 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching Present the new words on the PPT one by one, along with pictures or short videos to illustrate their meanings. For example, when teaching “gesture”, show some common gestures like “OK” sign, thumbs - up. Let students read the words after the teacher, paying attention to the pronunciation. Then, conduct a quick pronunciation drill, calling on individual students to read the words. Introduction to Culture Shock Explain the concept of culture shock briefly. Use simple and vivid language to describe how people may feel when they first arrive in a foreign country, such as being excited at first (The Honeymoon Phase), then feeling frustrated or confused (The Negotiation Phase). Show a simple diagram on the PPT to illustrate the four phases of culture shock, and briefly explain each phase. 3. Group Discussion (10 minutes) Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Assign each group a topic related to cultural differences, such as “Differences in Table Manners between China and Western Countries” or “Cultural Differences in Festivals”. In groups, students are required to discuss the topic, collect ideas, and take notes. The teacher walks around the classroom, providing guidance and answering students' questions. After 8 minutes, ask each group to select a representative to share their discussion results with the class. 4. Project Guidance (15 minutes) Explain the requirements of the F Project in detail. Topic Selection: Students need to choose a country they are interested in to research its culture. Information Collection: They can use various resources, such as the Internet, books in the library, or interviews with people who have been to that country. Organization of Information: They should organize the information into different aspects, like history, traditions, festivals, food, etc. Presentation: They need to create a presentation, which can include pictures, videos, and text, and present it in class. Provide some examples of good cultural research projects on the PPT, showing students how to make an attractive and informative presentation. Set a timeline for the project. For example, they need to complete the information collection by next week and the presentation within two weeks. 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class, including new vocabulary, the concept of culture shock, and the requirements of the project. Emphasize the importance of respecting cultural differences. Homework Ask students to start thinking about the country they want to research for the project. Let them collect at least 3 pieces of information about the culture of that country and write them down in their notebooks. 教学反思 After this class, students showed great interest in the topic of cultural differences. The lead - in with pictures effectively attracted their attention and motivated them to think about cultural diversity. The group discussion allowed students to actively participate and exchange ideas, which improved their speaking and cooperation skills. However, during the vocabulary teaching, some students still had difficulty in pronouncing long or complex words, so more pronunciation practice is needed in future classes. In the project guidance part, some students seemed a bit confused about the project requirements, so more detailed explanations and one - on - one guidance may be required when they start working on the project. Overall, this class laid a good foundation for students to complete the cultural research project, but continuous improvement and adjustment of teaching methods are necessary to better meet students' learning needs. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
