Unit 2 English around the world By ZhangLiping Teaching Goals: 1. Learn about the differences between American English and British English. 2.Learn about communication skills. 3.Report requests and demands 4.using"He/She asked ... to "' ' and" He/She told'" to-.. ". Teaching Time: Five periods . Background Information Now the English language is used by about 600 000 000 people in almost every part of the world. Chinese is the only language used by more people. About 350 000 000 people speak English as their native tongue. Most of them live in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, About 60 000 000 people, chiefly in India and Pakistan, speak English almost as well as their own language. Probably 150 000 000 other people can use English to some extent. Today, about one of every six uses English. II. 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 exported 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 Ger- mans. 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"( stu- pid), and this second meaning has now crossed the Atlantic to Britain.. There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check(US)/ cheque (UK), center (US) / centre ( 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. Many verbs in American English with "ize" or" izing" forms, e.g. organize, realizing, are spelt in British English "ise" or "ising'', e. g. organise, realising. In American Eng- lish,"practice" is used both for the verb and noun. In British English, the verb is spelt "practise", and the noun "prac- avoids the doubling up of consonants in nouns and verbs while British English does not. In American English, for ex- ample, one writes "travel, traveled, travding, traveler", while in British English one writes "travel, travelled, travelling, traveller." Unit 2 The First Period By ZhangLiping Teaching Aims 1.Learn a dialogue about American and British English. 2.Listen to a material. 3.Do some exercises about sentence transformation. Teaching Important Points: 1.How to improve the students' listening ability. 2.How to help the students ideas freely. Teaching Difficult Point 1.How to use different words to express one's idea.

Greetings and Revision morning, everyone. In this class, I want to check your homework first. Then learn the new words and expressions of this period. The teacher gives the explanations and examples II. Warming up Now, I'll ask you some questions. The first question is: How many countries and regions are there in the world? (About two hundred.) T: How many languages are there in the world? (It's hard to say. I learned from a magazine that there were more than three thousand. Perhaps more than five thousand) It was thought that there were more than three thousand before. But it is found in recent years that there are more than five thousand languages in the world. Only thirteen languages are used by above 55 million people. My next question is: How many languages are used as the working languages of the United Nations? : They are five. French, Russian, Spanish. English and Chinese. In this unit, we'll talk about English. Read the text on this Page and have a discussion with your partner. Discuss the questions in the text: What is it that Joe can't find in the bathroom? Why can't he find it? Who can tell us the answer question? :It is the toilet. Why can't he find it? Perhaps when Joe says" bathroom he means a place where there is But in Nancy's eyes, it is where people can only have a bath. Am I right? As we know, Joe is an American, so he speaks American English. While Nancy is English, he speaks British English. That's to say, there are some slight differences between British English and American English. We'll discuss this further in the fourth period. You can read it after class to see how much you can under- stand it. III. Listening : Let's do listening. Please turn to Page9. Look at the picture and read the requirement. Do you know what you should do you listen to the tape? : Yes. I'll play the tape twice. When I play it for the first time, just listen to it.

Part 2 in Post-read- ing on Page 11 may give them some help. ~F Step I] ~ Word Study T:Please turn to Page 11. Let's do Word Study. Match the words and phrase on the left with their meanings on the right. Do it with your partner. In a few minutes, we'll check the answers. (A few minutes later. )Now I'll ask SA and Se to give their answers. SA, read the meaning on the right. One item at a time. S~,give the right word or phrase for each item. Are you clear? Step II Grammar (Teacher says to SA:Stand up. Open the door. Look outside. Now close the door. Teacher says to SB: Sit down, please. Could you lend me your pen? Can you show me your book?) T: What did I say to SA? Ss:Stand up./Open the door./Now close the door. T: What did I say to Se? Look out Could you lend me your pen? Can you show me your book? T: What was the difference between what I said to Student A and what I said to Student B? S.. You told/ordered Student A to stand up/open the door/look outside/close the door. (They may say these in Chinese. ) T: What about Student B? What did I say? S: You asked Student B to sit down/lend you his (her) pen/show you his (her) book. T.. You are right. I told/ordered Student A to stand up etc. I asked Student B to lend me his(her) pen, etc. In fact, what I said to Student A is an order. What I said to Student B is a request. Its pat- terns are like this: Orders and Re- quests: Direct speech: (Orders) Do..., please. ? /Will you. Would you... ? Indirect speech .. (Orders) dered sb. else to do sth. sb. told/ordered sb. else not to do sth. (Requests) :sb. asked sb. else to do sth. sb. asked sb. else not to do sth. (Write them on the blackboard. ) OK. Now I'm going to show you some sentences. If it's an order, write "Order' in your exercise books. If it's a request, write" Request". (Show the following sentences on screen. ) Make sure the door is open. Can you lend me ten yuan? Could you help me with my work, please? Don't play games in the classroom. Will you close the window, please? No smoking. (Ask some students to answer which sentences are orders, which are re- quests. ) Suggested answers Orders: 1,4,6 Requests: 2,3,5 T: From these sentences, we can draw such conclusions. If a sentence is an order, it often uses an imperative, namely, "sh. told/ordered sh. else to do sth. "If a sentence is a request, it often uses a question form or an imperative, but very politely, namely, "sb. asked sb. else to do sth. "But we should pay more attention to the negative construction. Its reported orders and requests should be like these. "sh. told/ordered sb. else not to do sth." "sb. asked sb. else not to do sth. ' Now open your books. Turn to Page 11. Look at Part 2 in Language Study Grammar. In Part 1 in Gram- mar, which sentences are orders? Sc: Sentences 2,3 and 6 are orders T: Which sentences are requests? SD :Sentences 1,4 and 5 are requests.

(The teacher checks homework. ) (The teacher and the students go over the new words and expressions of this period. The teacher gives explanations when necessary. ) Step ]I. Fast Reading :English is a young language. It grew from other languages, such as German and French. People began to write it down only six hundred years ago. Now it is spoken by people all over the world. From the last period we know there are more than 42 countries where the majority of people speak English. However English is not exactly the same in different countries. American people speak English, but it is a bit different from British English. Today, we are going to read about these differences. Please turn to Page 12. Read the text fast and find the answers to the questions on the screen. Do it as fast as possible and write your answers on a piece of pa- per. I'll collect the first five pieces. (The teacher shows the screen. ) Answer the following questions: 1. What is American English for “think" ? What did Noah Webster do make American English from British English? T: Who will give us the first answer? SA :I'll try. In American English "I guess" is used instead of "I think". T: Quite right. What is the second? SB: He changed the spelling of many words. Step III. Reading T: Now read the text again. Read it carefully and discuss the following questions on the screen with your partner. Write your answers on a piece of paper. In a few minutes, I'll ask some pairs to give us the answers. (The teacher shows the screen. Answer the following questions.. 1. When did America become an independent country? 2. Where did the word" fall" (meaning: "autumn")first come from? 3. Can you give some examples to show spelling differences between American and British English? 4. Is there any difference in written English in the two countries? 5.

One student, one question, Volunteers ! 1. In 1776, America became an independent country. 2. The word "fall" first came from England. 3. Yes, I can. For example, the words "colour, centre and travelled' in British English are spelt" color, center and traveled 'in American English. 4. Yes, In written English there are some spelling differences between British English and American English. And in some cases, different words are used for the same thing. 5. Some words are pronounced differently in the two countries. For example, Americans say dance(daens], and in southern England they say. In America they pronounce not[-nat~; in southern England they say[-not~,and son on. 6. Yes. Though there are many spelling differences, people from the two countries don't have much difficulty in understanding each other because written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America. 7. There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England travelled to other countries, they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as the language used in England, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world to another. At last the English language became two variants --British English and American English. 8. I prefer American English to British English because American English is easier to understand./I prefer British English to American English because British English sounds more beautiful. Now look at the screen again. I'll explain some words and expressions of the text so that you can use them freely. Please listen to me carefully. Notes to the text: 1. come about--happen, take place e. g. When John woke up, he was in the hospital, but he didn't know how that had come about. 2.stay vi. --keep, remain e. g.
