Warming Up 课本在此让学生通过提示的句子用身势语将其意思表演出来。这部分的设计贴近学生,用表演的方式走进本单元的主题,形式活泼而又容易激发学生的学习兴趣,为本单元Reading部分的精彩故事做好了铺垫。教师也可以采用本书的"热身"设计:Warming up by acting,Warming up by defining-What is body language? 进行热身教学。
Pre-reading 课本通过四个问题使学生明白"身势语"的不可替代性,激发学生的阅读兴趣;教师也可以以Pre-reading by looking and saying形式进行预读/读前教学。
Reading 是一篇记叙文,开头以一个接待员的身份观察来自不同国家的客人刚见面时对身势语的不同反应,从而引出文化不同而体态语不尽相同的中心话题。本书提供了如下程序设计:Talking and sharing, Listening and reading aloud, Reading and underlining, Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraph, Reading to decide on the type of writing and summary of the text, Reading to make a diagram of the text, Reading and understanding difficult sentences, Closing down by checking cues。 Learning about Language 分为两部分,Discovering useful words and expressions是本单元的词汇练习题; Discovering useful structures是本单元的语法练习题,通过本单元的学习,要求学生熟练掌握-ing形式作定语和状语的语法功能。本书下列教学程序设计可供参考:Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions,Reading and thinking,Doing exercises,Going over the ready materials for the ~ing form as the adverbial, Doing exercises for consolidation,Closing down by doing a quiz。 Using Language分为三部分,Reading部分要求学生通过阅读另一篇文章了解更多的身势语文化。Listening and speaking要求通过六幅图和听力内容说出故事中的体态语言,并用相关句型把它写出来,有利于学生写作能力的提高。第三部分speaking and writing 通过观察讨论林珮的体态语言,分析她的心态,并给她提出建议,这是由身势语引出的一个开放性写作。教师可以参考使用本书提供的如下设计:Reading and underlining,Read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage, Doing exercises, Making a list of body language expressions, Make a list of three positive body language expressions and three negative body language expressions,Speaking and writing,Closing down by summarizing body language。 实际教学过程课时划分建议 将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节"阅读课"。
