Unit2 English around the world
一、教材分析
本单元以“世界英语”为话题，介绍了英语在当今世界所起的重要作用，使学生进一步了解学好英语的必要性，了解英美语言在词汇、拼写、语音等方面的区别，学会用请求和命令两种方式转述他人的话语，知晓在写作过程中尽量使用间接引语的优越性。
1.WARMING UP提供了一个因不了解英美两国人在用词差异上造成误解的例子，使学生们认识到掌握英美两种语言差异的重要性，为Integrating Skills 中英美语言差异一文作了铺垫。
2． LISTENING部分要求学生听后快速记下房东太太对Brown先生所讲的住房规矩，培养学生通过听快速获取有效信息的能力，并在“写”的实际中运用“请求和命令”两种用语间接转述他人的请求。
3． SPEAKING部分要求学生三人一组合作，学会在不同场合下运用请求和命令两种用语口头转述他人所说的话，提高他们的语言表达能力。
4． PRE-READING 是READING的热身活动。通过对这两个问题的讨论使学生意识到学习第二语言（英语）的重要性。
5． READING部分是一篇说明文。文章的三个段落均说明了英语的确是世界范围内使用最广泛的一门语言，是联合国的工作语言，是其他语言无法替代的。 6． POST-READING 部分设计了两种练习，练习一的前两题是细节题，第三题是一个开放性题目，鼓励学生将英语学习与现实生活相联系。练习二是填空题，帮助学生梳理文章、概括中心思想。
7． LANGUAGE STUDY分词汇和语法两部分。其中，Word study 旨在培养学生用英语解释生词的能力；语法部分是有关“请求和命令”用语的直接引语和间接引语的转换。 8． INTEGRATING SKILLS 通过阅读使学生了解英国英语和美国英语的差异及产生差异的历史文化背景。在归纳其差异的基础上写一篇有关“英美语言差异”的小短文，也可模仿课文写出你所熟悉的不同方言的一些区别。
二、教学对象 高一英语基础班学生
三、课时安排
将整个单元的内容进行分析，我将课文进行重组。
1 从话题内容上分析，WARMING UP与SPEAKING部分的PART TWO话题较为一致。将WARMING UP作为SPEAKING部分PART TWO的引入部分，作为一节“口语课”，让学生了解英美语言的确存在差异，进而让学生练习和掌握语言交际中遇到障碍时的一些常用句型。
2 将 LISTENING 和SPEAKING部分的PART ONE设计成一节“听力课”，为本单元语法课作铺垫。
3 将PRE-READING, READING和POST-READING整合上一节“阅读课”，训练学生的阅读理解能力和技巧。
4 将LANGUAGE STUDY和WORKBOOK中的PRACTISING语法练习题整合在一起上一节“语法课”。
5 利用INTEGRATING SKILLS的READING和WRITING上一节“读写课”，让学生了解英美两种语言的差异并将其整理成文。 课型设计与课时分配
1st period 口语课（50分钟） 2nd period 听力课（50分钟） 3rd period 阅读课（50分钟） 4th period 语法课（50分钟） 5th period 读写课（50分钟）
