第二课时 Section A (2a-2d)
一、Teaching Objectives
In this class, students will:
1. rank and discuss the problems mentioned, such as sandstorms and farmland shortage, and explain your reasons.
2. listen and identify the main environmental problems and the solutions people took in the conversation.
3. talk about how planting bushes and trees improved the environment and people's lives.
二、Teaching Advice
Lead-in
1. Show students some pictures of the four problems: sandstorms, difficult environment, farmland shortage and lack of technology. Ask them to talk about what they know about these problems.
2. Ask students: Among these problems, which one do you think might be the most serious for people living there? Why?
Pre-listening
2a
1. Let students work in pairs and rank the four problems from 1 to 4, with 1being the worst, and give their reasons.
2. Choose some students to give their answers.
3. Have students look back at their ranking, then ask: From your list, which problem do you think is the most difficult to solve? Why?
While-listening
2b
1. Have students listen to the conversation between George’s father and Li Rui’s grandfather. Write down the problems they mentioned in the conversation.
2. Check the answers with the class.
2c
1. Let students read the table before listening and predict what information to write down.
2. Ask them to listen again and fill in the table. Then, check the answers with the class.
3. Ask students to work with a partner and describe how the environment affected the local lives based on the table. Remind them to compare the environment before and after people took actions.
4. Read the listening script with the students together and explain some language points.
Post-listening
2d
1. Have students review the listening script to recall the environmental changes and the actions people took.
2. Present the sample dialogue to the class. Read it aloud with the students and point out the structure: state a past problem, ask about the solution and explain the action and the result.
3. Ask students to work in pairs and create a new dialogue about solving another problem from the listening . They should use information from the table in 2c.
4. Invite a few pairs to perform one of their conversations for the class, and then give feedback.
Summary
Ask students to summarize what they have learned in this lesson.
Homework
Finish the related exercises in the books produced by Youyi.
Blackboard Design
Write useful expressions and important language points on the blackboard.
Teaching Reflection
This lesson effectively guided students from discussing environmental problems to understanding real-world solutions through structured listening and speaking tasks. The lead-in and ranking activity successfully activated prior knowledge and created a clear purpose for listening. To further deepen engagement, next time I would encourage more student-generated questions during the prediction stage before listening.
