【Task 1】
Warm up Exercises: A.1)She wanted to see St.Paul’s Cathedral.2)She was so surprised because she saw so many Englishmen who looked alike.3)They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats, carrying umbrellas and newspapers.4)Because she had often read about them and seen photographs of them, who all looked as if they were wearing a uniform.5)No, he didn’t.6)He used the English saying “It takes all kinds to make a world” to prove his opinion.B.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be!And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!【Teaching materials】
Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London.She wanted to see St.Paul's Cathedral.She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike.They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats.They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers.When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures.“They must be typical English gentlemen,” she said.“ I have often read about them and seen photographs of them.They all look as if they are wearing a uniform.Does the typical English gentleman still exist?”
Mr.Clark laughed.“I've never thought about it,” he answered.“ It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen.But look at this.” Mr.Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man.“He's just as typical, perhaps.It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman.Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England.”
“Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,” Gretel began to hum happily.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be!If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash that would be!” Task 2 【Teaching materials】 A.1)people were much busier 2)colder than England;minus thirty degrees;last longer 3)much more mountainous;much higher and much more rocky;more beautiful

John is British but has worked in Japan.Etsuko is Japanese from Osaka, but she is studying in Britain.In the following passage you are going to hear, they are comparing life as they see it in the two countries.But before listening to it, think of the two countries and try to answer the following pre-listening questions.John: I found that living in Japan, people were busier.They seem to work the whole day.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.We work from Monday through Saturday, even in summer.You know, summer in Japan is just horrible.It’s very, very humid and hot, and you need to shower three times a day.John: So you find it cooler in England? Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Where I was living in Japan, in the North, it was much colder than England, especially in winter, minus thirty degrees centigrade.Does the winter in Osaka last longer than the winter in England? Etsuko: No, I don’t think so.December, January, February, March.John: Yes.It’s a little bit shorter if anything.Etsuko: Ever since I came here, I noticed that the countryside here in England is very beautiful.John: It’s much flatter than in Japan.Etsuko: Yes.Japan is a mountainous country and our cities are full of people.There are lots of people in a limited flat area.John: Yes, I found Japan much more mountainous than Britain, especially in the north.The mountains are much higher and much more rocky.I found it more beautiful than Britain, I think.Etsuko: Yes, if you like mountains.John: And therefore the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Yes.So because the cities are more crowded, the houses tend to be smaller, don’t they? Etsuko: Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t have a lot of space.In big cities we have a lot of taller buildings now.John: Is this a problem because there are more earthquakes in Japan? Etsuko: Yes, that’s right and… Task 3 【exercises】 A.1)In the US, people usually dance just to enjoy themselves;they don’t invite other people to watch them.2)Usually eight people dance together.3)Because people form a square in dancing with a man and a woman on each side of the square.4)He usually makes it into a song.5)They wear old-fashioned clothes.B.1)F 2)T 3)F 4)F 5)T C.1)eight people form a square;on each side of the square 2)what they should do;makes it into a song;sings it 3)don’t have much time to think 4)old-fashioned clothes 【teaching materials】
Rosa: Why don’t you have folk dances in the United States? Most countries have special dances that the people have done for many years.The dancers wear clothes from the old days.Everyone likes to watch them dance.Steve: We have folk dances, too.A lot of people belong to folk dancing groups.But when they dance, they usually do it just to enjoy themselves.They don’t invite other people to watch them.Rosa:
Is there a folk dancing group here? Steve: I think so.There must be.There’s one in almost every city, and some big cities have several.Rosa:
What are the dances like? Steve: Usually eight people dance together, four men and four women.When they start, they form a square, with a man and a woman on each side of the square.That’s why it’s called square dancing.Then there’s a man who tells the dancers what they should do.He usually makes it into a song.He sings it while they dance.Rosa:
Oh, that should make the dances easy!
Steve:
Yes, but they are very fast.They don’t have much time to think.I like to watch them, though.The dancers wear old-fashioned clothes.That makes the dances pretty to watch.Rosa:
I’d like to watch a group dance.Steve:
I’ll take you sometime.Task 4 【teaching task】
1)It was a time to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring.2)They burned the picture of their kitchen god to bring good luck.3)The custom said the brides must wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” to bring good luck.4)Because they could not eat meat, eggs or dairy products during Lent, so they tried to use up these things before Lent began.5)It was a straw man made by children in Czech;it was a figure of death.6)People brought their animals to church.And before the animals went into the church people dressed them up in flowers and ribbons.【teaching materials】
1)On the evening of February 3rd, people in Japanese families took one dried bean for each year of their age and threw the beans on the floor, shouting “Good luck in!Evil spirits out!” This was known as “Setsubun”, a time to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring.2)Before the Chinese Lunar New Year in the old days, many Chinese families burned the picture of their kitchen god to bring good luck.When Lunar New Year's Day came, they put ancw picture of the kitchen god on the wall.3)When American women got married, they sometimes followed an old custom in choosing what to wear on their wedding day.The custom said the bride must wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”.This was to bring good luck.4)Before Lent(a time on the Christian calendar), the people of Ponti, Italy ate an omelet made with 1,000 eggs.People could not eat meat, eggs or dairy products during Lent, so they tried to use up these things before Lent began.5)When winter ended in Czech, the children made a straw man called “Smrt”, which was a figure of death.They burned it or threw it in the river.After they destroyed it, they carried flowers home to show the arrival of spring.6)January 17th was St.Anthony's Day in Mexico.It was a day when people brought their animals to church.But before the animals went into the church, the people dressed them up in flowers and ribbons.This ceremony was to protect people's animals.Task 5 【exercises】 A.1)F 2)T 3)F 4)T 5)F 6)T 7)T B.Advantages Disadvantages Lots of servants to do the work Terrible life for servants beautiful clothes to wear very uncomfortable clothes lots of tea parties boring and formal tea parties — often no men being invited life being slower much more illness plenty of time to talk to each other children left with servants all day
very poor education
no freedom for women 【teaching materials】
Man: Well, I think life used to be much more fun than it is now.I mean, look at the Victorians.They had lots of servants to do all the work;they never had to do any cooking or cleaning;they just wore those beautiful dresses and went to tea parties.Woman: You must be joking!Their clothes were terribly uncomfortable and their tea parties were very formal and boring.They used to wear their hats and long gloves even when they were eating cakes and biscuits.And men were not usually invited.Man: Really? Weren't they? Woman: And think of the poor servants.What a terrible life — just cleaning and cooking for other people all the time!
Man: But you hate housework!Woman: Yes, I know, but there are lots of machines now to help you with the housework.People don't need servants.Man: Maybe they don't, but life then was much slower than it is now-people nowadays are always rushing, and they never have time to stop and enjoy themselves.Woman: Life then was fine for the rich, but it was dreadful for the poor.There was much more illness.They didn't have the money to pay doctors, and they often used to die of illnesses that don't exist in England now.Man: Maybe.But people used to talk to each other, play the piano or play cards together.Nowadays people just sit in front of the television for hours and never talk to each other.Woman: I agree with you about television;but what about their children? They left their Children with the servants all day.Children hardly ever saw their parents!And the clothes they had to wear!Horrible, tight, uncomfortable, grown-up clothes.Children have a much better life now than they used to, and schools and education are much better too.Man: I hate school.Woman: And look at opportunities for women.In those days, women used to stay at home, play the piano, change their clothes several times a day and have tea parties.What a life!They didn't have any freedom at all.I'm very happy living now.I can work, have a career, do what I want to.Man: You mean you can work hard all your life like a Victorian servant.Woman: Life isn't all tea parties, you know.Task 6 【exercises】 A.1)b 2)a 3)c 4)a B.1)family unit;process;change;used to be;the extended;the nuclear
2)job patterns;progressed;agricultural;industrial;forced;job opportunities;split up 3)traditional;family;expanded;other living arrangements C.1)mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby 2)only the parents and the children 3)previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family 【teaching materials】
The American family unit is in the process of change.There used to be mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear.The extended family most often included mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby.Then as job patterns changed and the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people were forced to move to different parts of the country for job opportunities.These moves split up the extended family.The nuclear family became more prevalent;this consisted of only the parents and the children.Now besides these two types of traditional groupings, the word “family” is being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements.Today's family can be made up of diverse combinations.With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there is an increase in single parent homes: a father or mother living with one or more children.“Blended families” occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family.On the other hand, some couples are deciding not to have any children at all, so there is an increase in childless families.There are also more people who live alone: single, widowed, divorced.Now one in five Americans lives alone.Task 7 【keys】 A.Men Women Both Study subjects like history or English

In Japan both men and women go to university and both men and women study the arts such as history or English.But very few women study science, medicine or engineering.In engineering classes of thirty or forty students, there may be only one or two women.Men and women both go to university in order to get good jobs: men want to work for a big company, be successful, earn a lot of money and support a family;women, on the other hand, want to work for a big company because they have a better chance of meeting a successful man and getting married.This is changing, however, as Japanese women begin to think about their own careers.They have began to take jobs which they like rather than jobs in order to find a husband.Men work for their whole lives and usually stay with the same company.A woman may work up to ten years, but after that she usually gets married.Most women are married by the age of twenty seven, then they stay at home and look after the children.A man does not cook or look after the children.When he comes home, his meal must be ready.The woman may go out in the afternoon, shopping with her friends or having a chat, but she must go back home by four o'clock to prepare the meal.Then she may have to wait a long time for her husband to come home.Often he has to go out for a drink after work: if he doesn't he may not rise very high in the company.After her children grow up, a woman can go back to work, but it is not easy.If her former company takes older women back, she might be lucky.But most women find it difficult to find a job when they are older.Task 8 【keys】 A.1)a 2)c 3)b 4)c 5)c 6)b 7)c 8)b B.1)T 2)T 3)F 4)F 5)T 6)F 7)F 8)F 9)T 10)F 【teaching materials】
Matthew: Geth, how do people set about getting married in England?
Geth: I suppose the most common way is still for people to go home.For example, people who live in London now will go back to their homes in the provinces where they'll meet all their relatives and their parents, and they'll get married in a church, with the bride wearing white, the traditional white.Then they'll go off and have a booze-up with their relatives and friends and a jolly good time will be had by all.Otherwise you can get married in a registry office, which means you turn up with your bride-to-be or bridegroom-to-be with two witnesses only.The ceremony takes about five minutes, I suppose.You sign the form and that's it.Matthew: There are many today who say that marriage is a complete waste of time.What's your view of marriage in the twentieth century?
Goth: Well, I live in London as you know.I think in London, the tendency is to...for a...boy and girl, man or woman to live together before marriage and often to live together without any prospect of marriage at all.I think this probably is...is true of London and the other big cities than elsewhere, because after all people in London are living in a big place where home ties are obviously less restrictive.They can do more or less as they please and I think this is the pattern.Matthew: But do you think it helps for people to live together before taking their vows?
Geth: I think in a sense the habit of living together before marriage may, in a strange sort of way, make marriage stronger, because after all the people will know each other better when they do get married and it might be suggested that divorce would be less likely between such a couple.Matthew: Sue, you've been married for two or three years now.How's it working out?
Sue: I think it's a successful marriage.It's...I mean, it's difficult to say why, because we basically suit each other very much.We have a good friendship, apart from anything else, and, you know, we just go together very well because we respect each other's freedom and individuality, but on the other hand we really need each other, you know, it's...Matthew: What about.., have you thought of having children?
Sue: Well, obviously, like most young couples, we have thought about it, but, you know, we both feel rather, sort of, loath to lose our freedom just yet.I think we'll probably wait another few years.Matthew: Is it easy in England today to people to get divorced, or is that quite difficult?
Chris: I think technically it's probably fairly easy, I think, because I'm not English but, I think technically it's fairly easy to be...to get divorced.But it's not just the technicality of it which is the problem.Divorce is...is a social stigma which people can probably Cope with to varying degrees, but it's also a lot easier for the man because the woman, after she is divorced is, in fact, frowned upon by...by a lot of people in society.She is...is...at a...a much more difficult social position in terms of...of meeting other men, or whatever, simply because she is a divorcee.Task 9 【keys】
Social customs and ways of behaving change.But they do not necessarily always change for the better.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable — especially if they are your guests.There is a story about a rich nobleman who had a very formal dinner party.When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

The fastest animal on land is the cheetah.It can run at a speed of about 100 KM an hour.The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast.The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40Task 2
The fastest animal on land is the cheetah.It can run at a speed of about 100 KM an hour.The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast.The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40km/h.Many animals can run faster than this.But most animals run on four legs.Four legs are better than two, aren’t they? Why do we only have two legs?
Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things.We can pick things up with them.We can use tools.Human beings have used tools for millions of years.That is why our brains have developed.That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines.We have made cars, ships, aero planes and spacecraft.In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air.We can even go to the moon.No other animal has ever done that!
Task 3
A: You know, we’re studying dinosaurs in science class.It’s really interesting.B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?
A: Well, no one knows for sure.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate.The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that’s one theory.Another idea is that they may have run out of food.B: Uh-huh.And you know, there’s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space
A: That sounds crazy to me!
Task 4
For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell.Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again.These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young.They don’t even have functional mouths and stomachs.They simply have no time to eat.In fact they have no time for anything else.The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietly underwater for 220 years.However, it did not have any birth certificate to prove this.One could only judge by its growth rings.If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918.It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began, and it died 152 years later as WWⅠcame to a close.Task 5
Every year about 17 million animals are used in laboratory experiments.But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?
People who are for using animals in research argue that the use of animals in medical research has many practical benefits.Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression.It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for disease like smallpox and polio without animal research.Every drugtakes today was tried first on animals.Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals.Which is more important: the life of a rat or that of a three-year-old child?
Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals.Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experiment on other humans.Animals suffer a lot during these experiments.They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.Animals have the same rights as humans do—to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them.Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling.There should be no animals in research lab at all.Task 6
Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D.C.can see three new young tigers.The rare babies met the public for the first time late last month.Chip O’ Neal tells us about them.The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other
playfully.Then Korenchy also jumped into the games.Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago.They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy.The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13kg, their fur is dark orange with black stripes.They eat horse meat and drink milk form Korenchy.Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers.Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra.They are now in danger of disappearing form the earth.Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world.That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia.The gift was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program.Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three times.The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran Tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo.Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies.Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue.They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs.However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too interested in this family.The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran-tiger cubs for at least 18 month before sending them to other zoos.That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave their mothers.The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers’ living area, so people with computers can see them.To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo’s Website at.Task 7
Cats in America
An old expression says, ”Man’s best friend is his dog.” Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dog as the most popular pets in American homes.Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs.But even more cats—more than 64 million—live in American homes.These pet cats may have long hair or short hair.They are different colors and sizes.Some are costly animals that take part in competitions.Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life.They are not expected to work for their food.Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens.They wait for their owners to serve them.Americans are increasingly serious about their cats.These concerns have mad the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats.They buy toys and other equipment.They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them.Some owners even buy their dead pets in special burial grounds.Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries.Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8,000 years ago.The small house cat was once a highly honored animal.In ancient Egypt for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however.They probably arrived in the US with settlers and traders from Europe.These cats worked.They killed rats and mice.Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats.During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working the devil.Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes.People cared for the cats because the animals game them pleasure.The cat thanked people for feeding them by making a purring sound.This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets.They say cats need less care than dogs.And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs form being alone if the owners are away.Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all.They say dogs are better and more loving pets.They say cats do not have much feeling.They believe cats stay with people only to be fed.Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism.They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around—they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time.Cats like more space and more privacy—this does not mean they do not love their owners.Task 8
Little Steve has a pet rabbit, Bunny.He plays with it every day after school.One day his mother sees that her little boy is holding Bunny by the ears.From time to time he gives the poor rabbit an angry shake and says, “How much is two plus two?” “Steve,” says his mother, “why do you treat your poor little Bunny that way?”
“Well,” explains Steve angrily, “our teacher says that rabbits multiply very quickly, but this dummy can’t even add.”
Task 9
Most mammals live on land, but not all of them.Millions of years ago, some mammals went back to the sea and lived there.The legs of these animals disappeared, and after a long time they looked like fish.These animals became whales and dolphins.Whales and dolphins are still like other mammals in many ways.They are warm-blooded and they breathe air.They also have big brains.That is why they are more intelligent than fish.Whales have the biggest brains in the world.Their brain is bigger than the brain of a human being.

下冊 Unit 1 International Conferences
Teaching Objectives: In this unit, students will listen to an introduction speech at an English Language Teaching Conference in the Listening Task section and a speech on mnemonics for real world listening.They are expected to find many useful concepts and practices for English language learning in this unit, so tell them to pay particular attention.Teaching Difficulties: 1.Students may encounter some difficult words while listening, and they are required to figure out the contextual meanings of these words.It takes time and the instructor has to take pains to gradually acquaint students the skill of how to understand unfamiliar words while listening.2.Students may come across difficulties of taking down notes while listening.The instructor has to pause while listening to tell the students how to jot down brief notes in process of listening comprehension.Teaching Procedures: 1.Warming-up exercise The purpose of this task is to draw students into the unit by asking them to reflect on their personal experiences and linking those with the unit topic.Instructors are advised to ask students as many questions as they can think of, relating to the conference a student talks about to the class.The purpose of your questions is to give the students an opportunity to speak up in English, and also to get students thinking about the unit topic.2.Vocabulary—Read and Choose strategy: n.a particular plan or method for winning success in a particular activity insight: n.deep understanding, the power of using one’s mind to understand something deeply effective: a.having a noticeable or desired effect;producing the desired result honored: a.feeling very proud and pleased principle: n.a general truth or belief that is used as a base for reasoning or action or for the development of further ideas overall: a.including everything
acclaimed: a.publicly praised by a lot of people currently: adv.at present fundamental: a.of or forming the basis or foundation of something;essential meticulous: a.very careful;with attention to detail fluency: n.the quality or condition of speaking a language very well issue: n.an important point;a point in question or a matter that is in dispute or may be argued about because of its importance 3.Listening Task Pre-listening Activity: Students are asked to present their problems in learning English and discuss these problems in pairs.Listening Activities: 1)First Listening
The chairperson at an International English Language Teaching Conference is introducing three speakers.Listen and choose the best summary of each introduction.2)Second Listening Who are the most likely to attend educational conferences? What do people share at an educational conference? Discuss the words below.Then listen to Part 1 of the introduction again and circle the words that are mentioned.Learning Strategies: Staying Motivated Studies have shown that motivation plays a huge role in learning and achievement.However, after many years of study, our enthusiasm can diminish.There are many ways to stay motivated and different methods to work well for different people.It’s important to find the method that works best for you.4.Real World Listening 1 1)Ingrid Anderson is giving her speech to the conference.Listen to Part 1 and complete the sentences.Then choose the sentence that best states what Ingrid will talk about in the rest of her speech.2)Listen to Part 2 and complete the outline of this part of Ingrid’s speech.3)Listen to Part 3 and complete the following tasks.5.Real World Listening 2 1)Listen to Part 1 and circle the best answer.2)Listen to Part 2.Which of the following is NOT one of Karl Grass’s concerns?
6.Post-listening Activity What would you ask if you were at the Q&A session with the three speakers? Look at the following three examples and then write down three questions of your own.7.Homework Students are asked to listen to Listening Tasks and Real World Listening materials one more time in their spare time.Tapescript for Listening Tasks:
Introducing Speakers at a Conference [Part 1] Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the fifth annual International English Language Teaching Conference.Every year English language educators of all kinds—teachers, lecturers, researchers, authors and publishers—come from all over the world to share research results, strategies and fresh insights for effective English language teaching and learning.As usual, this year, we’re honored to have here some very highly regarded speakers, who are all leading experts in their fields.[Part 2] Host: We have three speakers tonight.Our first speaker this evening is Professor Ingrid Anderson.She will be talking about using mnemonics in vocabulary learning.Mnemonics are often mentioned as useful memory aids but how do they work? Ingrid Anderson will be telling us about some general principles behind mnemonics and how these principles can improve our overall learning.Ingrid Anderson has been an English language teacher for the past twenty-five years;she is the author of the widely acclaimed book Vocabulary and Language Learning and is currently a senior professor of ELT at The Institute of Foreign Languages in Shanghai.It’s my great pleasure to introduce to you Professor Ingrid Anderson.[Applause] Host: Mr.John Bhudrani will follow Professor Anderson to talk to us about another fundamental area of language—grammar.In particular John Bhudrani will be focusing on the confusing area of grammar and natural language.Why do some second language learners who pay meticulous attention to grammar, sometimes lack a natural fluency? John Bhudrani will be tackling this and other related issues in his speech.John Bhudrani’s career has taken him through twenty-two years of study, lecturing and research at Edinburgh University in the UK and Harvard University in the United States, where he is currently the head of the linguistics department.He wrote his Ph.D thesis on language teaching theory and is a leading expert in ELT pedagogy.Please welcome Mr.John Bhudranni.[Applause]
[Part 3] Host: Our final speaker will talk on a subject that teachers spend a great deal of time thinking about: motivation.Motivation has long been recognized as an important area of language learning—so how do educators create the best conditions to stimulate motivation? What can educators do when faced with a classroom of unmotivated students? Or, if a teacher is lucky enough to have well motivated students, how can that teacher get the most out of the students’ motivation? To help us find answers to these and other questions about motivation Ms.Naomi Green will be our third speaker.[Part 4] Host: Naomi Green is a highly effective and experienced language teacher.She started her career in ELT more than thirty-five years ago and since then has worked all over the world as a teacher and an administrator.She is currently the director of the British Council in Tokyo.She has a master’s degree in ELT and will soon complete a second master’s degree in applied linguistics at Reading University.She’s not only an excellent teacher but also an outstanding student of languages herself and is fluent in Spanish, French and Japanese.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ms.Naomi Green.[Applause]

(二)猜 通過選項所表達的意思猜題目與文章的主題
(三)驗證 帶著自己的猜測有針對性的聽內容
二、題型解析
對話部分(長對話、短對話)是日常生活中的一般對話,即衣、食、住、行、工作、學習等話題,可分為校園、公共場所、家庭等方面
短對話共8段,以一問一答的對話形式出現。本題每段對話只播放一遍,且每道題的問題是在對話結束后才以口語的形式給出的,故考生要提前通觀選項,集中注意力。
本題幾個道數 5—6道,推薦準確數量 7—8道
重點場景:Airport機場(flight)restaurant hotel 旅館
重點主題:Campus life校園生活 job-hunting 找工作
核心技巧:
1、后句比前句重要,回答比提問重要
2、若選項中個別單詞或短語被明顯播讀,此項多為錯項
3、最好能夠聽懂問題在問什么 短對話——
1、場景地點題:考查學生對對話地點及人物去向的判斷(test 1 第18題 P2---P8)
常見提問方式:
Where does the conversation probably take place? Where is the woman going? Where are the two speakers?
2、身份職業題: 由于說話人之間的關系不同,其用詞、造句、語氣都有差異,要求學生在正確捕捉相關信息的前提下判斷、推測人物間的關系及身份。(T2 第14題 P14---P20)(T4 第12題 P38---P44)常見提問方式:
Who is the man/woman?
What is the man’s/woman’s job/profession/occupation? What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? Who is the man/woman most probably speaking to?
3、時間、數字計算題:要求考生在聽題的過程上獲取相關的數字信息,或對數字、時間表達做出準確辨別,或根據題意對已獲得的時間、數字進行簡單的加、減、乘、除運算,就比率和倍數關系進行換算。常見提問方式:T2 第13題 P14---P20 T3 第17題 P26---31
How much/many? How far/long? What time?? When?? When will?? How long will the man do?
4、因果關系題:此類題型較難,原因有二:(1)原因的闡述通常會出現在第一句,因而易被忽視;(2)信號詞少,聽完完整的表述后才明白其題型重點。T5 第13題 P50---P55
常見提問方式:
Why can’t the woman eat with the man? Why is the woman/man worried? 常用表達法:
單詞: because, as, for , since, in that, hence, therefore, consequently, cause, reason 詞組: due to, owing to, because of, thanks to, on account for, as a result, result from, result in, lead to, give rise to, contribute to, attribute to, now that, so that, so?that, such?that, in order to, be responsible for
5、建議請求題:說話人中的一方提供某種幫助或提出某種請求,另一方做出肯定或否定的反應,或一方提出某種想法與建議,而另一方對此做出反應。重點考查考生對建議或請求句型的掌握和對談話者語氣表達的理解。
常見的提問方式:T6 第18題 P61--P67
What did the man/woman suggest? What did the man/woman want? What did the man ask the woman to do? What did the man offer the woman? What is the man’s/woman’s advice? 建議:
You might as well? If I were you, I’d ? Maybe you should? shall we ?? Why not? Why bother? Why don’t you?? You’d better? You’ll have to? How about???
請求:
I wonder if? Would you mind ? Would you like to? Will you please?? Could you do me a favor? How about?? 接受:
Thank you I’d love to, thanks OK.Great(good)idea It’s very nice of you doing so
拒絕:
No thanks.Thank you all the time.It’s so kind of you, but? Sorry? No, I don’t think it necessary.If I ?.I would do that
6、觀點態度題:考生根據對話內容的關鍵詞、上下文甚至語氣、語調的內涵意義并利用邏輯思維能力進行判斷,需對所傳遞的信息進行比較深層次的理解。T6第13題 P61--P66 T5第15題 P50---P55
常見的提問方式:
How does the man/woman feel about? What does the man/woman think of?? What does the man/woman say about?? What does the man/woman mean? 相關詞匯:
否定意義副詞:Never, scarcely, seldom, rarely, hardly, barely, unable, impossible, incapable, unnecessary, unbelievable, little, ill-minded, no one, nobody, none, nothing, neither, nor, dislike, ignore, fail, refuse, hate, stop?from, miss, deny, overlook, keep?from, far from, anything but, without, instead of, run out of , short of, too?to?

not impossible, not untrue, can’t?agree any more, not unusual, not single, absent, no one?but(2)all, every, many, always not 為部分否定,并非全部,不是每個(3)虛擬語氣表假設,即為非真實情況
7、虛擬語氣題:此題型為聽力題型中較難的一種,因為所有解題都得靠聽來獲取信息,一旦漏跌或錯聽關鍵詞,句子的難度就增大。
相關語法:
1.If所引導的非真實條件句:與現在、過去、將來事實相反的結構搭配;倒裝結構;錯綜條件句;含蓄條件句 If he could(Could/should/had/were he)lend us a helping hand, he would do so.But for, without, otherwise 2.Wish, if only, would that, as if 引導的虛擬語氣 3.固定的結構 it is time that+ did Would rather + did
8、含義推斷題:要求考生根據兩個對話者所談的內容進行進一步的推斷,從更深層次上考查考生對對話內容的理解程度。T4 第18題 P39---P44
常見提問方式:
What does the man/woman imply? What can be inferred from the conversation? What do we learn about the man/woman/conversation?

第三次課 復合式聽 T4 P47 T9 P103 復合式聽寫答題順序及技巧
1.對全文進行全局性預覽:尤其是第一句(topic)和最后一句(conclusion)。
2.觀察空格前后的特殊現象,判斷詞性、單復數、時態,可分為以下幾類:
(1)名詞位置判斷:
A、the之后是名詞;介詞后面是名詞;動詞前面是名詞;No后面是名詞。
(2)動詞位置判斷:
To后面是動詞;主語后面是動詞;情態動詞后面是動詞。(3)形容詞位置判斷:
Be后面是形容詞;名詞前面是形容詞。(4)副詞位置判斷:
動詞后面是副詞。
聽之時:while-listening
原則:精聽,速記,以聽為主,以記為輔。
如何速記:
1.省略虛詞,如:如冠詞,助動詞等。
2.遇到詞組記每個單詞首字母如break down 就記作B D,但一定要自己看得懂的。
3.長單詞記前三個字母,如:experience 就記作 exp。
4.符號記憶,如:more than 就記作“>”,less than 記作 “<”,equal to 記作 “=”等。
5.混合記憶,就是把上面幾種方法混合起來用,還可以夾雜中文文字等。聽之后:after-listening
全面檢查和補全前面記錄下的東西。
1.檢查漏詞,如:介詞(in、on、at)、冠詞(a、an、the)、代詞(it、this、that)等。
2.檢查錯詞
(1)長單詞容易發生拼寫錯誤,要仔細檢查一遍。
(2)短單詞容易和同音異義詞混淆,檢查時要和上下文連起來看看意思是否正確。
3.檢查大小寫
人名、地名、國家名、時間名(月份)、節日名、書名、文件名、商標名、歷史事件名、宗教名首字都要大寫,句首單詞的首字母也要大寫。
4.檢查名詞單復數,形容詞、副詞比較級最高級,動詞時態、語態。
一.詞匯聽寫: 1.大小寫問題:專有名詞,句子開頭
2.單詞各音節間的輔音字母注意是否雙寫。success, process, necessary, recommend.3.一個音節之中注意元音的拼寫。
4注意不發音的字母:island, exhausted, isle(小島), comb.5檢查詞尾的變形
1)名詞:單數,復數,所有格,非謂語動詞與謂語動詞(ed, ing, s)形式,填原型的很少見。
2)形容詞注意比較級以及以al結尾的形容詞。Natural,personal, emotional, artificial, additional 3)副詞結尾的ly:wholly, completely, emotionally.容易拼錯的詞:
Campaign, species, apparent, calendar, category ,changeable, committed, conscious, definitely, discipline, equipment, exceed, guarantee, leisure, license, miniature, noticeable, occasionally, possession, referred, recommend, restaurant, relevant, separate
二、句子聽寫:同義替換寫難題 ①詞匯層面上的同義替換:
1)I've got to go over my notes for tomorrow's midterm.(study)
2)We'll have to leave very early.(set off)
3)It looks like he bought out the bookshelf.(bought a lot of books)
4)I'll have to get my ticket of the flight changed.(switch to)
5)Jane is counting the days to go home for the summer.(is eager to)
6)There'll be another bus in two or three minutes.(soon)
②句子層面上的同義替換
1)You can use my new car if you drive it carefully.I agree to lend you my new car.2)The reading list of English course is enormous
It's going to require a lot of reading of the English course.3)The teacher went over last Friday’s lesson today.The teacher reviewed a previous lesson today.4)The train is behind the schedule.The train is late.5)I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.The tools I borrowed from you are missing.6)If I were you, I would turn it in to the security office, it’s behind the administration building.Hand in the ring to the security office.
第五篇:大學英語聽力教學方法探討
內容摘要:
摘 要:聽的活動在人們日常交際活動中占有重要位置,因此對于英語學習者來說,聽力理解能力是英語交際能力中的重要一環。由于聽力材料、文化背景知識的欠缺沒有熟練掌握答題技巧等,學生在聽力水平提高方面會遇到諸多障礙。本文主要就以上幾方面提出了一些相關的學習策略,以幫助學生克服障礙,提高聽力水平,同時促進其英語交際能力的提高。
摘 要:聽的活動在人們日常交際活動中占有重要位置,因此對于英語學習者來說,聽力理解能力是英語交際能力中的重要一環。由于聽力材料、文化背景知識的欠缺沒有熟練掌握答題技巧等,學生在聽力水平提高方面會遇到諸多障礙。本文主要就以上幾方面提出了一些相關的學習策略,以幫助學生克服障礙,提高聽力水平,同時促進其英語交際能力的提高。關鍵詞:大學英語 聽力教學 方法探討
聽力理解能力是語言多種能力的綜合反映。人們在語言文字的使用中,有45%的信息是通過聽來完成的。因此國家教育部推行了大學英語教學改革,要求大學英語教學在“以學生為中心”的教學模式下,要注重培養學生的綜合應用能力,尤其是聽說能力。這就意味著,在教學過程中,聽力教學占據了主要地位。保障大學英語教學質量,提高學生英語聽力水平,要做好以下幾方面的工作:
一、選擇難度適宜的聽力材料
聽力材料的難易程度直接影響著聽力訓練的效果。如果材料過于簡單,就達不到通過訓練而提高的目的;如果材料過難,會使大部分學生在訓練過程中遇到巨大的障礙,喪失繼續訓練的信心。因此,教師可以根據學生的聽力成績選擇訓練材料的難易程度,以便進行及時調整。每次訓練結束后,教師都應根據學生的反饋對所選擇材料的長度、生詞密度、語體和題材以及聽力教學的速度和方法進行反思與調整,以便找到最適合學生現階段進行訓練的聽力材料。
二、重視文化背景知識的滲透
如果學生不了解語言所承載的文化信息,同樣也會造成聽力理解上的障礙。因此教師對于英語語言國家文化背景知識的講解也相當必要。對英語國家文化背景知識的滲透應包括對其社會有深刻影響的最基本的內容,如古希臘、羅馬神話;社會風俗,如感恩節、圣誕節;宗教信仰,如基督教及《圣經》;以及社會交際禮儀等。除此之外,目前各種精聽及泛聽材料本身涉及的內容很廣泛,包括政治、經濟、軍事、文化、科技、教育等各個領域,教師也應根據聽力材料所涉及的內容對有關背景知識進行一定程度的介紹,激發學生學習新知識的興趣,幫助學生提高聽力理解能力。
三、精聽和泛聽的結合 在學生基本適應了聽力課堂,對聽力需求有了增長的情況下,要對學生進行精聽和泛聽練習。進行精聽時應讓學生先把錄音內容從頭至尾聽一遍,再把聽不懂的地方集中起來,一遍又一遍地反復播放。
若有些地方實在聽不懂,可以給學生一些提示,把新的單詞寫下來,甚至允許學生查閱有些影響理解的生詞。接著讓學生再從頭至尾聽,直到能夠聽懂全部內容為止。通過這樣的聽力訓練,可促使學生提高辨音及聽力理解能力。在這個時候可以讓學生記錄文本,鍛煉他們記錄的速度,隨后進行復述練習。相對于精聽材料要選擇故事性強或者科普文章來說,泛聽則相對靈活,可以讓學生接觸大量的原汁原味的英文材料,以求熟悉英語發音,感受英語的真實性和趣味性,擴大知識面,提高聽力。
