Using Language（听说教学设计）
I. Learning objectives
At the end of the class, students are expected to:
1. Extract information about predicting technological development by listening to an interview.
2. Organize expressions related to prediction in listening, and be able to use these expressions to express predictions about the future.
3. Able to apply background knowledge to discuss the pros and cons of future technological development.
II. Analysis of the material
The theme of this section is “Make predictions about future changes”. The dialogue takes the form of a radio interview program, with two guests, computer scientists and architects, predicting the future development of their respective fields. The conversation discussed some profound topics, which can stimulate students' thinking and make them pay more attention to the relationship between life values, human destiny, environmental protection, and social development. The use of predicted sentence structures and tenses in multiple parts of the conversation provides language support for students to create dialogues after listening.
III. Analysis of students
Students have accumulated vocabulary and practiced grammar related to the topic, and have a clear understanding of the benefits of future smart homes. They show enthusiasm for future and want to express their views, but students lack the ability to understand listening content and describe their critical thinking. Obviously, it is necessary for teachers to guide students to boldly predict the social and life changes that may be caused by technological development, and to appropriately use the future continuous tense to express predictions.
IV. Teaching key and difficult points
Teaching key points:
1. Inspire students to explore the trends of technological development.
2. Use predictive expressions to express predictions about the future.
Teaching difficult point:
How to properly use predictive expressions to express predictions about the future.
V. Teaching Procedure
教学目标 教学活动及互动方式 设计 意图 活动 层次 效果评价
通过图片激活学生背景知识，熟悉话题词汇。 Step 1: Lead-in Match the words with the pictures. 互动方式：学生描述图片内容，将图片和词汇相匹配。 通过图片对话题进行预热，学生把事件和图片连线，激活相关背景知识。 感知与注意 学生能够通过观察和描述图片进行预测，将图片与词汇进行匹配，激活相关背景知识，并熟悉听力中的部分话题词汇。
启发学生进行批判性思考，为即将开始的听力做准备。 Step 2: Before listening Discuss the opportunities and challenges of new technologies. Challenges: With the development of computer technology, more users’ information are stolen. More people are out of work because of automation. Cloning may result in disorder.

Interview each other about your jobs and predictions. 互动方式：学生进行访谈，了解对方对未来职业的选择和预测。 学生判断两位嘉宾预测的可能性，发表自己的评价，开拓思维。通过创编访谈节目，综合运用所学内容，展示创造性和想象力。 分析与判断，推理与论证，内化与运用，想象与创造 学生能够关于嘉宾的预测给出自己的判断，并对此给出合理的原因作为支撑，提升语言表达能力。能够完成预测未来的访谈节目，在完成角色任务的同时，内容体现个性化和想象力。
VI. Homework
Write a letter from the present you to the future you, presenting a potential problem in your future career that might be caused by future advances in technology. You are required to include:
· the name of your possible future career;
· the potential problem that is caused by future advances in technology;
· the possible effects of the problem.
VII. Teaching Reflection
Students are able to extract information through listening to interviews, organize and predict expressions related to the development of future technology, and use these expressions to express predictions about the future. The classroom atmosphere is harmonious, and the evaluation of teachers and students is organically integrated into the entire teaching activity. However, there are still students having poor oral skills are unwilling to express their opinions using spoken language. Therefore, it is necessary to increase oral practice and give them more opportunities to showcase themselves.
