Unit2 English around the world 說課稿
This is the second period of this unit which focuses on language. In this period,several exercises about language on the textbook will be dealt with. Some important language points in the warming up and reading will be explained in detail.
Language is the part which is tested much in any examination. Instead of remembering words and phrases inflexibly,using them correctly should be the target. So this period should be taught with this purpose.
At the beginning of the lesson,homework will be checked. After that,students are required to recall the information on the content of the passage. By doing so,students can get more chances to practice their spoken language. Then the exercises on language will be dealt with. In this part,students are expected to learn to use the words and phrases in the warming-up and comprehending. There are various types of exercises on words and expressions. Besides,there is an exercise about prepositions in Am. English and Br. English. And it offers a listening practice on differences between Am. English and Br. English.
To let students master words and phrases better,I’ll present more detailed explanations about how to use them in practice by offering some examples. After that,students should practise using them by making up sentences. With this method,students can master the words and phrases better.

Step 1 Greetings and revision
Greet the whole class as usual.
T:Yesterday we learnt a passage and I asked you to finish the comprehending exercises. Who can tell me the answer?
S:A,D,C,D,B
T:Great! Now who can retell the content of the passage to us?
S:Let me try. English is used more and more today. The number of the people speaking it is increasing rapidly. China has the biggest number of English speakers. However,even two native speakers do not speak the same English because there are many kinds of English. That is caused by communication of culture. So actually even they can not understand everything they say. Besides being spoken as the native tongue,English is also used as a foreign or 2nd language in many other countries. In a word,it is more and more important.
Step 2 Learning about language

American English and British English
Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and the USA,and in everyday speech the two peoples have little difficulty in understanding one another. In fact,the Americans have explored a large number of their words and phrases to Britain—through literature,the movies,TV,American soldiers during both world wars and tourists. The following words and phrases are of American origin:teenager,boyfriend,radio,right away,way of life,etc.
Some of the words that Americans now use come from the languages of their immigrants,particularly from the Germans. The basic meaning of “dumb” in both British and American English,is “unable to speak”.In the USA,it acquired a second meaning “stupid”,straight from the German “damn” (stupid),and this second meaning has now crossed the Atlantic to Britain.
Of course,there are some American words that are peculiar to the USA and are quite different from their equivalents in the rest of the English-speaking world. Here is a list of some of the most important.

There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words,e.g.check(US)/cheque(UK),center(US)/center(UK).Many American English words ending in “or”,e.g.honor,vigor,labor are spelt in British English with an “our”,e.g.honour,vigour,labour.In American English,“practice” is used both for the verb and noun.In British English,the verb is spelt “practise”,and the noun “practice”.In the main,American English avoids the doubling up of consonauts in nouns and verbs while British English does not.In American English,for example,one writes “travel,traveled,traveling,traveler”,while in British English one writes “travel,travelled,travelling,traveller”.
It was once predicated that British and American English would draw so far apart that eventually they would become separate languages.The opposite has happened.The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically and culturally too,they are closer together than ever.
