Unit5 Languages Around the World Listening and Speaking 教案-2025-2026学年高中英语人教版必修第一册

Unit 5 Languages Around the World Listening and Speaking 教案 (Lesson Plan) I.Teaching Objectives: 1. Students will be able to understand the main ideas and specific details from a listening passage about languages around the world, including the number of languages, UN official languages, and reasons for learning a foreign language. 2. Through guided listening tasks and pair discussions, students will practise listening for gist, detail, and inference, and improve their ability to identify pronoun referents in spoken discourse. 3. To encourage students to reflect on their own motivations for learning a foreign language and to express their ideas clearly in spoken English, fostering both global awareness and personal language-learning goals. II. Important Point and Difficult Point: Guide students to extract key information from the listening text, such as the most widely spoken languages and reasons for learning additional languages, and to apply listening strategies effectively. Help students infer meaning from context (e.g., vocabulary like “billion,” “native,” “attitude”) and correctly identify what pronouns refer to in connected speech. III. Teaching Aids: Textbook, whiteboard, multimedia projector, audio recording (Listening Parts 1 & 2), printed handouts with country/language matching activity. IV. Teaching Procedures: Step 1: Lead-in (5 minutes) T: Good morning, class. Look at the opening page of Unit 5. There’s a photo of a large conference hall. Can anyone guess where this is? (Wait for responses.) T: Yes, it’s the United Nations General Assembly. Now, discuss with your partner: How do people from different countries communicate here? What languages do you think are used officially? (Give students 1–2 minutes to discuss.) Step 2: Pre-listening – Country & Language Warm-up (8 minutes) T: Now, let’s look at Activity 1. You’ll see six pictures of famous landmarks. Work in pairs: identify the country and the official language(s) spoken there. (Show the pictures: CN Tower, Brandenburg Gate, Louvre, Red Square, Taj Mahal, Royal Palace of Madrid.) T: For example, Picture 1 is the CN Tower in Canada. What languages are spoken in Canada? Ss: English and French. T: Good. Let’s go through the rest together. Take notes if needed. Step 3: While-listening – Listening for Details & Main Ideas (12 minutes) Activity 2 – Listen for specific details T: Now, we’ll listen to a speech about languages. First, look at the words in Activity 2: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish. Which two languages have the most native speakers? What are the six official UN languages? Listen carefully and write your answers. (Play the audio once.) T: Check your answers with your partner. (Confirm answers: Chinese & Spanish; UN languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish.) Activity 3 – Listen for gist and inference T: Now, read the four questions in Activity 3. Try to guess the meanings of “billion,” “native,” and “attitude” from the context before we listen again. (Allow a minute for guessing.) T: Let’s listen again. Answer the questions while listening. (Play the audio a second time.) T: Discuss your answers in pairs. (Go through answers: 1. Learning a foreign language; 2. Nearly 7,000; 3. Around 2.8 billion; 4. It is very wise to learn at least one other foreign language. ) Step 4: Listening Strategy – Pronoun Reference (10 minutes) Activity 4 – Identify what pronouns refer to T: In spoken English, pronouns like “they” or “it” often refer to something mentioned earlier. Let’s look at the two sentences in Activity 4. Listen again and find out what “they” and “it” refer to. (Play the relevant part of the audio.) T: Remember: the referent is usually the subject of the previous sentence. Now, write your answers. (Check answers: 1. They = students who choose to study a UN language; it = studying a UN language. 2. They = the six official UN languages.) Step 5: Post-listening – Speaking & Personalization (10 minutes) Activity 5 – Discuss which language you want to learn and why T: Now, let’s talk about your own language learning. Look at the example dialogue in Activity 5. Read it with your partner. (Give students 2 minutes to read.) T: Now, create your own dialogue. Ask each other: “What language do you want to learn? Why?” You can use reasons from the listening or your own ideas. (Monitor students as they prepare and practise.) T: A few pairs, please share your dialogue with the class. Step 6: Summary & Homework (5 minutes) Summary: T: Today, we learned about languages around the world: how many there are, which are most widely spoken, and why people learn them. We also practised listening for details and understanding pronoun references. Homework: 1. Write a short paragraph about a language you want to learn and explain why. 2. Find three English words that come from other languages (e.g., “karaoke” from Japanese) and write their origins. V. Teaching Reflection 本节课围绕“世界上的语言”展开，通过听前预测、听中抓取细节与主旨、听后讨论等环节，较好地实现了听力技能与口语表达的结合。学生能够理解听力文本的主要内容，并在讨论中表达个人学习外语的动机。 总体来看，本节课内容贴近学生实际，任务设计层层递进，兼顾了语言知识、听力策略与跨文化意识的培养。后续可增加更多真实语境下的听力材料，进一步提升学生的综合语言运用能力。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
