Unit 2 The universal language Welcome to the unit & Reading 课件-2025-2026学年高中英语牛津译林版选择性必修第一册

该高中英语课件以“音乐作为通用语言”为核心，通过视频《Horse Racing》导入，引导学生识别乐器及评价组合，再结合海报阅读填写二胡与钢琴的历史、音乐家等对比表格，搭建“乐器-音乐-文化”学习支架，衔接后续邮件阅读分析音乐与文化的关系。 其亮点在于融合文化意识与思维品质，通过《梁祝》（中西元素结合）和乡村音乐（美国乡村生活）引导学生理解中外文化，借助对比表格、问题链分析音乐风格与情节、文化的关联。采用沉浸式体验、探究式阅读及任务驱动写作（推荐《赛马》推荐信），提升学生语言能力，教师可利用结构化资源高效落实核心素养培养。
