Unit 1新编实用英语课堂设计

Unit One Hello, Hi！Foreword: Writing a class work design is often like holding a hot potato in hand. But as the writer of this textbook, we write this class work design simply to help teachers to do a better teaching job. But we should remember that we are teaching to help students to learn to use the language, rather than simply understand it. Therefore, what we write here is not a collection of difficult language points, but a set of advice and a stock of language material to help you, teachers, to motivate the students to become an active language user, a cross-cultural communicator, although in many cases they have to rely on their poor language proficiency.

SECTION III Trying Your HandPracticing Applied Writing1 Sample analysis: The teacher summarizes briefly the format and language used in business cards. The teacher may show the following passage with PPT (If there is no PPT prepared, ask the students to take a dictation of the passage). Afterwards, ask the students to read it and translate it into Chinese orally.Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are exchanged during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the givers name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website. It can also include a bank account and tax code. Traditionally many cards were simple black text on white stock; today a professional business card will sometimes include one or more aspects of striking visual design.Your card should display the same design and basic information as your other marketing materials. However, a business card is not a brochure or a catalog; its space is limited, so you must choose the information content and your words carefully. Single words and phrases should be used. A good approach is to break the essential information down into three areas: identity, credibility and clarity.The following items are often included in a business card.TitlesWork UnitsOthersGeneral ManagerVice ManagerSales ManagerDirector DeanAccountantPresidentGeneral Editoretc.Co. LtdGroup companyTV StationDepartmentTrade CompanyElectronics Co. Ltd.etc.Address:_Tel:_Fax:_Mobile:_E-mail:_2 Simulated writing: 1. The students read and translate the sample names cards with the help of the teacher.2. Do Exercises 2, 3 and 4 in groups. Writing Sentences and Reviewing Grammar 1 The teacher gives a brief summary of the basic sentence structuresMost English sentences are constructed using three basic sentence patterns. The heart of every English sentence is the Subjective-Verb core. Other elements can be added to make the sentence structure grow into more complex sentence patterns. When we speak out or write a sentence, the essential thing to do is to get the basic sentence structure correct. The teacher shows the following table with PPT or draws it on the blackboard.No.StructuresExamples1Subject + Verb + (Object)Jim works very hard.Mary likes Chinese food.2Subject + Linking Verb + PredicativeMr. Smith is a doctor.Bill looks sick.3There be structureThere is a great Italian restaurant across the street.There are wild flowers in the hills.2 Do Exercises 5, 6 and 7 in groups.3 Assignment for this section:Suppose you are a salesman of DJ Electronics. Design a name card for yourself. In the next class period there will be a Business Card Show: each student or each group will present their business cards for the class business card show. A bench of judges will choose and award the best.SECTION IV Maintaining a Sharp Eye Passage 1 The Business Card a Social Faux Pas1 Warm-up questions:1. What is the function of business cards?(They show business information about a company or individual.)2. What do people think about business cards?(They are a useful marketing tool.)2 Guided reading aloud of the passage:The students read the passage after the teacher for the first time, trying to imitate the teachers pronunciation and intonation, and then read it in class individually. The teacher should pay attention to correcting the students pronunciation and intonation.3 Explanation of difficult words and expressions:The students are required to have a discussion in groups to pick out the difficult words and expressions in the whole passage which they dont understand and report them to the class. The teacher will demonstrate the usage of those chosen points, and then ask the students to make up at least two sentences with them in groups. In this passage, apart from what have been chosen in Language Points in Teachers Book, the following points are encouraged to be chosen and practiced on. 1. situation: n. a condition or position in which you find yourself e.g. The economic situation has changed considerably.2. reach for: move forward or upward in order to touch e.g. I reached for a book on the top shelf.3. get caught in: to be in a situation that you cannot easily get out of e.g. We should be able to make it unless we get caught in a traffic jam.4. hand out: to give something to each person in a group; give without charge e.g. Will you help me to hand out the materials for the lecture?4 Teaching suggestions for understanding the passage in detail: 1. Paragraph 1: 1) The students look though this paragraph together.2) Group work: Give the students 3 minutes to prepare the translation of the first paragraph, and then an oral class presentation is required.2. Paragraph 2:1) Ask one or two students to read this paragraph. 2) Group work: The students have a discussion to find the answers to the following questions: (1) If you dont want to miss opportunities for business, what should you do?

Paragraph 3: 1) Pair work: One student reads this paragraph loudly, and another helps correct his or her pronunciation. And then they change their roles to do the same work again. 2) The two students work together to summarize the general idea of Para. 3, and then present it in class. (The general idea of Para. 3: You should always bring your name card with you.)4. The rest of the passage: 1) The students read this part for three times by themselves, trying to remember the meanings of the passage. 2) Meanwhile the teacher writes down the following sentences with some words missing on the blackboard or show them with PPT.

Group work: The students have a discussion of the main idea of the passage. The students ideas may vary, and the teacher gives his or her own idea. (The main idea of the passage is that a business card is very important for you to communicate with others, so you should always bring it with you.)2. Groups work: Each group tries to pick out at least 5 expressions or sentences from the passage which they think are worth remembering. Afterwards, ask some groups to write them down on the blackboard and then the whole class read them aloud in chorus.6 Suggested methods for doing exercises: 1. Group work for Exercises 2 and 3: Underline the useful expressions in each sentence. 2. Pair work for Exercises 4 and 5: Each student writes out the sentence patterns they are going to use and then write out their translation. Afterwards they check up each others work, correcting the mistakes. At last, the whole class repeat the English translation of the sentences together.7 Assignments for this section:1.
