111Period 3Listening and Vocabulary; Pronunciation 整体设计教材分析In this period two parts will be dealt with. In Listening and Vocabulary part, first arouse the students to brainstorm some background knowledge about the Beatles. Then the teacher leads the students to learn some words which will appear in the interview in the way of answering the questions. Make sure the students know what they mean. And then ask the students to listen to the tape and complete the third activity. Furthermore, in order to help them know more details about the Beatles, let them listen once more and make some notes about songs as well as albums the band produced. If the students have any difficulty in understanding the interview, they can listen more times. Finally, have the students work in pairs or groups asking and answering questions to get rid of the difficult points they met during the course of listening.The second part is Pronunciation, which is an extension of the listening part and the vocabulary part and helps the students improve their listening ability. First ask the students to listen to the answers to Grammar 2 activity 4 carefully, paying attention to the intonation. Then listen to the tape again and check if they are correct. Next, do more practice by reading the sentences aloud with the correct intonation. 三维目标1. 知识与技能1)Train the students listening ability.2)Develop the students speaking ability.3)Words: albumballadcatchycomplexinfluencelyricssoloartisttune4)Phrases: hear ofsplit upbe influenced byin the history ofconsist ofstop doing sth. finish doing sth. break up 2. 过程与方法1)Make the students know how to grasp important information through listening activities.2)Make the students catch some details of the listening material. 3)Make the students master the correct intonation while reading.4)Individual work, pair work as well as group work to get every student to participate in class.3. 情感与价值1)Make it fun to grasp knowledge by listening.2)Have the students enjoy knowing more about the Beatles.3)Try to raise the students cooperative awareness in their study by pair work or group work. 教学重点1.

Then show the correct answers on the screen for the students to refer to. If necessary, give some explanations to help make them much clearer about some difficult points. Step 2 Listening1. Background knowledge(Show the following questions on the screen. )1)Do you know the word “band”?2)Does the word “band” mean one person or more than one?3)Can you name some of the famous bands?4)What is your favourite band? Say why? The teacher puts the whole class into groups of four to discuss the above questions and work out the answers. Then compare their answers with other groups. Next, the students refer to the correct answers shown on the screen. Later, the teacher asks the whole class to look through and observe the above pictures. Finally, have the students brainstorm as much information about this world-famous musical band as possible with the help of the questions listed in the first activity on P26.2. VocabularyOption 1Ask the students to read the listed words as well as questions in activity two on P26 individually and try to understand what they all mean. Then ask some students to read them out and others check if they are correct. Next, let them answer the questions by themselves. If they come across any problems in their understanding, they can turn to the teacher, other students or a dictionary for help. Finally, have the students refer to the correct answers shown on the screen after they compare their answers in pairs.Option 2Hold a competition. The teacher writes any word in the table on the blackboard or shows them on the screen for the students to read. The competition rules are as follows: When a word is given, the students who know it raise their hands. The one that does this first reads the word and give its Chinese meaning or explains it in English. If he or she is correct, he or she will get five grades. Otherwise, he/she gets zero and another one can read and explain it again. Each student has only one chance to read the same word. The guy who gets the most grades will be the final winner.After they know what the words mean, the teacher reads the questions one by one while the whole class give the answers.Option 3Read the listed words out and let the students follow you. Meanwhile, make them pay attention to the stress of them. Put the students into pairs to practice reading them. One reads them through, while the other checks if the words are read and stressed correctly. Then exchange their roles to repeat this.Suggested answers:1)They remember it. 4)More than one.2)The words. 5)They like them.3)Difficult. 6)No, they dont.3. While-listening1)Option 1The teacher asks the students to listen carefully for the first time and try to catch the main idea of the record. Then, let them look through the sentences in the third activity quickly and understand their meanings completely. Later the students listen a second time to decide whether the sentences they just read are true or false. Finally, in order to make the students confirm their answers are correct, you can let them listen once more.Suggested answers:(1)T(2)F(3)T(4)T(5)TOption 2(Show the following questions on the screen. )The Beatles were born in Liverpool in the north of England. During the early 1960s, the Beatles were1)by American rock singers. They had their first hit in 1962 with a2)song called Love Me Do. During the mid-1960s, the Beatles gave rock music a new direction.

Each one is required to make notes about one special songs or album mentioned in the fourth activity. Then the teacher plays the tape through one more time while the student listen carefully to catch as many details about these songs and albums as they can. Next, each group has a discussion and collects the necessary information that members got, organising them in order. Finally, the teacher asks representatives of each group to report their results to the whole class. You might as well encourage them to give different opinions.Suggested answers: Nowhere Man: seriousYesterday: balladStrawberry Fields Forever: complexLet It Be: last album.Tapescript: The Beatles were the most successful band in the history of popular music. The band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Start. Starr played drums, the other three played guitar. Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the songs all the Beatles were born in Liverpool in the north of England.During the early 1960s, the Beatles were influenced by American rock singers, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. They had their first hit in 1962 with a catchy song called Love Me Do(1962). In 1964, after they had become stars in their own country, the Beatles toured the United States and were a huge success.During the mid-1960s, the Beatles were one of the bands which gave rock music a new direction. Some of their songs were quite serious, such as Nowhere Man; there were ballads such as Yesterday and more complex songs such as Strawberry Fields Forever.By the late 1960s, their music had changed completely. They had stopped writing simple songs with catchy tunes. The tunes and the lyrics had become more interesting and they had begun to use new instruments, too. For example, after visiting India, they started using Indian instruments.Some of their albums changed pop music completely. Their last album was Let It Be in 1970.After they had finished recording Let It Be, they split up. By the time they stopped working together, they had sold more albums than any other band in history. After the group had broken up, all the Beatles performed as solo artists or started other bands.John Lennon died in New York in 1980, George Harrison died in 2001. Step 3 PronunciationFirst let the students work in pairs and read through the sentences in Grammar 2 activity 4. Meanwhile, markwhen they think the voice should rise andwhen it should fall. Then the students listen to the tape and check whether their marks are correct. If not, correct them. In order to consolidate what they just learnt, ask the students to read the sentences once again and pay special attention to the intonation. Or you can choose some other sentences and have the students read them and markas well aswhere necessary.Suggested answers:1)Unfortunately, he arrived at the showafter I had left.2)By the time we arrived at the stadium, the band had begun playing.3)Fortunately, the power cut happenedafter the fans had left the stadium.4)Before he made his latest album, he had recorded some songs with Paul McCartney.

Every group member first gives his opinion and idea according to what he usually does while reading. Then discuss them with other group members to form the most effective way of their group. Finally, each group gives a report to the whole class. 备课资料How to improve the students intonationIntonation is crucial for communication. Its also a largely unconscious mechanism, and as such, a complex aspect of pronunciation. Its no surprise that many teachers dont feel confident about tackling it in the classroom. When teaching grammar or lexis, we find ways of making the language accessible to our learners.How then to do this with intonation?What is intonation?Why teach intonation?Can I improve my own awareness of intonation?How I help my students: Awareness-raisingSome techniques I find useful for raising learners awareness of intonation: Provide learners with modelsdont be afraid to exaggerate your intonation.Let students compare two examples of the same phrase.Ask students to have a 2-minute conversation in pairs as robots(elicit the word using a picture if necessary), i. e. with no intonation. When they then go back to speaking normally, point out that the difference is made by intonationthis is what gives movement to our voices.Get students to imitate my intonation, but without words, just humming.Intonation doesnt exist in isolation. So it makes sense to approach it together with other factors.Intonation and grammarWhere patterns associating intonation and grammar are predictable, I highlight these to my students. I see these as starting-points, rather than rules.Some examples are: Wh-word questions: falling intonationYes/No questions: risingStatements: fallingQuestion-Tags: chat-falling; check-risingLists: rising, rising, rising, fallingWhen practicing these constructions, I include activities focusing specifically on intonation.For example, Question-Tags: Students in groups are assigned jobs to mime to each other. Students make notes about what they think each persons job is. They then have to check theyve understood the jobs: Students use rising/falling intonation question-tags depending how sure they are: Youre a pilot, arent you? .At the end, students confirm their jobs.Intonation and attitudeIts important that students are aware of the strong link between intonation and attitude, even if its difficult to provide rules here.The first thing is for learners to recognise the effect of intonation changes. I say the word bananasfirstly with an interested intonation(varied tone); then uninterested(flat). Students identify the two and describe the difference. We then brainstorm attitudes, such as enthusiasticboredsurprisedrelieved. I say bananas for these. Students then do the same in pairs, guessing each others attitude.This can be developed by asking students to greet everybody with a particular attitude. At the end, the class identify each persons attitude. For younger learners, I use Mr Men characters(Miss Happy, Mr Grumpy, Miss Frightened, etc. ). Each student is allocated a character and, as above, they greet the class with that characters voice.Intonation and discourseLearners also need awareness of intonation in longer stretches of language. Here, we can give our learners clearer guidelines: new information=fall tone; shared knowledge=fall-rise.A simple shopping dialogue demonstrates this: SK: Can I help you? C: Id like a chocolate(fall)ice-cream.SK: One chocolate(fall-rise)ice-cream. Anything else? C: One strawberry(fall)ice-cream.SK: One chocolate(fall), one strawberry(fall). Anything else? C: Yes. One chocolate(fall), one strawberry(fall), and one vanilla(fall-rise).Higher level students can identify thenew/shared information, and then practice reading accordingly.With lower level students, we memorise the dialogue together. Although I dont refer to intonation directly, I use my hands to indicate it(fall=hand pointing down; fall-rise=down then up). Students then prepare their own dialogues. Ive found my learners pick up these patterns very quickly.111
