Ⅲ.教材分析和教材重組:
1. 教材分析
本單元的中心話題是 “English language and its development, different kinds of English”. 通過(guò)對(duì)世界英語(yǔ)這一話題的探討,加強(qiáng)學(xué)生對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的
了解,對(duì)當(dāng)代語(yǔ)言特別是英語(yǔ)發(fā)展趨勢(shì)的了解.世界在發(fā)展,時(shí)代在前進(jìn),語(yǔ)言作為交流的工具,也隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展而變化.由于英語(yǔ)在世界上的廣泛使用,它不斷地吸收、交融、容納、創(chuàng)新,這就形成了各種各樣帶有國(guó)家、民族、地區(qū)特色的英語(yǔ). 沒(méi)有人們認(rèn)為的那種唯一的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)。盡管如此，我們還是要通過(guò)本課文的學(xué)習(xí)讓同學(xué)們感受、了解美國(guó)英語(yǔ)、澳大利亞英語(yǔ)、印度英語(yǔ)、新加坡英語(yǔ)等都有自己的規(guī)律和慣用法，和不同的發(fā)音規(guī)律。
1．1 Warming Up簡(jiǎn)要介紹了世界英語(yǔ)的分支以及英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言在不同國(guó)家產(chǎn)生的差異，使學(xué)生感受英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的多文化、多層次、多元性，對(duì)英國(guó)英語(yǔ)和美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的不同有一個(gè)粗淺的了解。
1．2 Pre-reading通過(guò)兩個(gè)問(wèn)題引發(fā)學(xué)生對(duì)課文主題的思考，以便參與課堂活動(dòng)。
1．3 Reading簡(jiǎn)要地說(shuō)明英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的起源、發(fā)展變化、形成原因，以及它的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。
1．4 Comprehending主要是檢測(cè)學(xué)生對(duì)課文基本內(nèi)容的理解程度。
1．5 Learning About the Language主要通過(guò)各種練習(xí)幫助學(xué)生重溫本單元前幾個(gè)部分所學(xué)的新單詞和短語(yǔ)，同時(shí)也通過(guò)新的例子展現(xiàn)了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)、英國(guó)英語(yǔ)的差異，并著重介紹了本單元的語(yǔ)法項(xiàng)目（Request & Command and Indirect Speech）。
1．6 Using Language其中的reading and talking主要介紹了當(dāng)今世界各地各國(guó)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)有自己的特色，即便是美國(guó)東西部、南北部，說(shuō)話均有所不同。為幫助培養(yǎng)跨文化意識(shí)，可以讓學(xué)生學(xué)完課文后討論中國(guó)的方言，使他們感受到本國(guó)的文化差異。
2．教材重組
2．1 導(dǎo)入 把Warming Up 作為一堂課。

Text 10
Many people say that one is better than the other when it comes to English. However, the fact is no one style of English is more correct than the other but you must choose one. There are really very few differences between British English and American English. However, the largest differences are the choices of vocabulary and pronunciation. Spelling also differ with each style>American words ending in “o-r” and “o-u-r” in British English. For example, in American English you would spell color “c-o-l-o-r” and “f-l-a-v-o-r”. In British English you would Spell “c-o-l-o-u-r’ and “f-l-a-v-o-u-r”. Also the word “t-h-e-a-t-e-r” in American English is spelled “t-h-e-a-t-r-e” in British English. American English says “truck’, WHILE British English calls it “l(fā)orry”. American English SAYS “two weeks” while British English says “fortnight”. In names of American river, the word “river” usually comes after the name, for example, Colorado River. However, British river have the word “river” before the name like River Thames.
