Unit4 Listening and Speaking 名师教学设计
课时内容
Share views on historic sites
主题语境：人与社会
主题群：历史、社会与文化
子主题：不同民族文化习俗与传统节日
语篇类型：音频、文字
文本分析：
本节课是本单元的第一课时，引出本单元的主题——历史与传统。本课时的听力材料内容为一个英国旅行者威廉姆和中国学生小孔的一段对话。威廉姆向孔子的后人小孔询问有关孔子的哲学和教育思想，以及孔庙、孔府、孔林等建筑物的情况。文本内容含有英语习语，相对比较深奥。在口语环节中，设置小组讨论：第一个问题是讨论孔子的主要教育和哲学思想，并举出几个例子；第二个问题是描述自己去过的历史景点，并对景点的历史和重要性作介绍。第二个问题和本课时内容关系不是很紧密，而且第一个问题比较难，涉及的内容多。因此，如果学生基础比较差，建议课堂上只开展第一个问题的讨论。文本最后设置英语句子连读语音练习。
课时目标
1. 获取听力对话的主要信息。
2. 在听的过程中，获取介绍孔子的相关词汇。
3. 用恰当的词汇和句型谈论孔子教育思想。
4. 学习英语句子连读规律。
重点难点
重点：
1. 获取听力对话的主耍信息。
2. 在听的过程中，获取介绍孔子的相关词汇。
3. 用恰当的词汇和句型谈论孔子教育思想。
难点：
本课时谈论中国历史名人孔子，听说内容文化内涵深。由于学生缺乏相关背景及语言知识，建议采用跨学科教学。在学生获取孔子基本情况和思想介绍之后，教师给学生提供关于孔子基本情况和思想的阅读文章，学生在自学课文之后，可以降低教学难度。
教学准备
教师准备：
孔庙、孔府、孔林及孔子教育思想的英文介绍。
学生准备：
1. 课外阅读教师提供的孔庙、孔府、孔林及孔子教育思想的英文材料。
2. 列举孔子教育思想的例子。
