【教学过程】
Part 1. Starting out
Step 1 Charts and questions
Look at the charts and get the Ss to answer the questions as below:
1.According to Chart 1, which language has the largest number of native speakers?
2.According to Chart 2, which language has the largest number of learners?
3.What can you learn from Chart 3?
Teachers can ask students to describe Chart 3 with their own language. And the description will be excellent if it includes facts and opinions. For example:
In 1993/2003/2014, there are 50 million/200 million/300 million Chinese learning English. (facts) From the statistics we can know the number of English learners in China is increasing rapidly. (Opinion)
4.Why do you think so many people in China learn English?
Step 2 Video Time
Get the Ss to watch the video and then answer the questions. Teacher show the tips to the Ss: ①There are many countries having English as their first language because the question uses “which countries”.②When students watch the video, they can take some notes using short hand.
1.Which countries have English as their first language?
2.Where do a third of English words come from? What examples are given in the video?
Part 2. Understanding ideas

The question “what do you think the passage is about” refers to the topic/main idea of the passage, so there is only one choice meet the requirement. But some students may choose plants or fruit, that’s all right.

【教材分析】
本节课是高中英语第一册Unit 2 Exploring English的语法部分:构词法。这个部分对于学生将来的英语学习至关重要,是今后能否记好单词的基础,同时也是学生认识英语,了解英语的一个开始。教师应该在本课时帮助学生树立基本的英语学习观念:重视单词,利用构词法提高识记单词效率,日积月累积少成多,逐步提高英语水平。
【教学目标与核心素养】
1.语言能力目标
了解四种不同的构词法:派生法,合成法,转化法,缩写法的基本原理和各自特点。
2.思维品质目标:
通过观察、比较、举例等方式,发现词汇之间的关联性和共性,并从中加深对构词法的理解。
3.文化意识目标:
通过学习构词法,了解英语词汇的一些来源,从而进一步加深对英语的理解,进一步培养起对英语学习的兴趣。
4.学习能力目标:
树立正确的英语学习观念:重视单词,重视积累;
能够综合运用不同的构词法帮助自己识记单词,提高记单词的效率。
【教学重难点】
1.重点
认识四种不同的构词法,理解其操作方式和特点
2.难点
(1)识别构词法;
(2)利用构词法帮助自己记忆单词。
【教学过程】
Step 1 课前自学
1.请同学们阅读并理解以下内容。
语言中词的总和构成词汇,但是词汇并不是一堆杂乱无章、互不相关的群体,而是一个严密体系,在这个结构的体系中,词与词之间有着各种各样的联系。英语中的这些联系的规律总结起来就是构词。英语中构词的方法就是构词法。构词法主要有合成法、转化法、派生法和缩略法四种。掌握构词法是迅速扩大词汇量的重要方法之一。
合成法
合成法就是指由两个或两个以上的单词合成一个新词,这个新词叫合成词,一般而言新词的词义也就是原来合成之前的词的意义结合。这种构词方式主要有两种:复合法、结合法。合成法主要是构成合成名词和合成形容词。
复合法构成的复合词,它们各个结合的部分相互间的语法关系是紧密相关的。如blackboard和darkroom都是形容词和名词形成的结构,writing desk是动词名词和名词形式的结构。
结合法形成的词是形态合成词,它的结合是用一个起来连接作用的中缀来把两个或两上以上的词根词素紧紧的连缀在一起。如,用辅音字母-s-来缀全两个词根词素构成的词有:salesman, townspeople等。
转化法
不用借助构词词缀,把一个单词从一种词类转化成另一种词类的方法就是转化法。由于词类转化的结果,英语中就形成了大量外形相同但词类不同的词,即同形异类词。一般来讲,转化法得到的词,词义相互之间是紧密相关的。例如face,作名词为“脸”,而作动词,则为“面对”。
派生法
派生法又叫词缀法,即在一个单词前或其后加上词缀,构成新的单词。加在单词前面的叫做前缀,加在单词后面的叫做后缀。一般来讲,前缀都有自己特别的含义,它们能改变词义但不改变词性,如like(喜欢)加上前缀dis-(不),则得到反义词dislike。而后缀没有具体意义,所以它们改变词性但不改变词义,如sad(形容词,悲伤的)加上后缀-ness,则得到名词sadness(悲伤)。加缀法是构词法中最重要的方法之一,大家要牢牢掌握。而前缀和后缀的类型都有很多,大家要在平时的学习过程中不断积累,深化理解。待到摸清规律,词汇量必然会上一个大的台阶。
缩略法
缩略法是把原有的词汇通过缩短,在读音和写法一呈现新的形式,这种构词方式用得很普遍,特别是近几年来,随着科学技术的飞速发展,产生了很多新的缩略词。
2.检测
让学生请回答以下问题,教师相机指导构词法的知识。
什么是构词法?
构词法有什么作用?
构词法的分类有哪些?
利用你手里的资源,试着为每一种构词法找到几个例子。
Step 2. 教师讲解
1.核对同学们自学检测的答案,并请同学分享自己找到的相关构词法的例子。
2.对构词法的四种类型逐个进行简单解释说明。
Step 3. 小组合作学习
全班分为若干个小组并完成以下任务:
1.完成课本第17页活动1:将黑体部分单词与他们对应的构词法匹配。
2.限时活动:
学生分组,在课本14、15页的课文中找出更多运用到以上构词法的词汇,看哪个组又多又快又准。(需说明属于哪一种构词法)
Step 4. 结对活动
1.学生独立完成课本17页活动2。
2.让每个学生与合作伙伴讨论并展示答案。
Step 5. 小组活动
将全班分为若干个小组,每个小组选定合成法、转化法、派生法和缩略法其中一种,利用资源寻找相关单词,看哪个组在有限时间里找到最多符合条件的词汇。
Step 6. Homework
为每一种构词法寻找不少于五个例子。

Unit 2 Exploring English
Period 3
【教材分析】
本课时内容为Misadventures in English,讲的是英语学习过程当中可能碰到的一些误解。这些误解产生的表面原因是单词/短语等的字面意义和内涵不一致,但深层次的原因还在于不同英语语言国家的文化差异,因此教师在授课过程中不能仅仅局限于让学生弄明白教材中出现的这几个词(组),更重要的是让学生体会文化差异,培养跨文化意识,树立正确的英语学习观念。
【教学目标与核心素养】
1.语言能力目标
了解一些英语中常见的容易引起误解的词(组);
掌握(读/写/译)文章中出现的重点词(组);
根据提示复述故事。
2.思维品质目标
从现象看到本质:哪些词(组)引起了误解?原因是什么?
能够用自己的话复述故事。
3.学习能力目标
正确合理运用学习策略:
资源策略:利用网络资源帮助自己学习英语;
阅读策略:抓住段落核心词,主题词。
4.文化意识目标
体会不同国家(同语言/不同语言)的部分语言差异,培养跨文化交际意识;
树立正确的英语学习观念:从课堂内学到走出去学。
【教学重难点】
1.重点
了解文化差异,培养文化意识;
文章中出现的重点词(组)
2.难点
根据提示信息复述故事。
【教学过程】
Step 1 Warming-up
1.Read the following expressions and guess their meanings.
2.Match the meanings to the expressions.
3.Ask and answer: Does the answer meet your explanation? What’s your opinion about these expressions?
Step 2. Prediction
Look at the title of the passage and guess what the passage is about.
(mis- is a prefix and misadventure is the opposite of adventure, which means “bad luck”)
Step 3. Reading
Read the passage and circle the expressions that caused the misunderstandings.
(Tips: When you are reading, don’t ignore the pictures, because they are not only a very important part of the passage, but also give you some information and help you understand.)
Step 4. Matching
Here are the definitions of the expressions that caused the misunderstandings. Match the definitions to the posts.
1.(British English) the floor of a building above the first one at the bottom level; (American English) the floor of a building at the bottom level.
2.Fairly good, better than you expected.
3.Be unable to speak clearly for a short time because your throat is dry or blocked.
4.Morally wrong and intending to hurt people; (informal)very good, fantastic.
Step 5. Pair work
Work in pairs. Retell the situations in the four posts.
Step 6. Go through the passage again by thinking and sharing, which makes the Ss understand it deeply.
1.Which post do you find most interesting? Why?
2.What would you deal with the situations described in the posts?
3.What can you do to avoid misunderstandings in English?
4.Do you know any Chinese expressions that often cause misunderstandings for foreigners? Share them with the class.
Step 7. Learning to learn
1.Online English-learning forums can be a very useful learning resource. Not only can you post specific questions, but you can also broaden your knowledge by reading posts from other English learners around the world.
2.The posts on Page 21 reminded us that some English expressions we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world.
Question: What’s your opinion about the two paragraphs above?
