中专第四册Unit3BathtubEffect教案.doc

英语教学过程设计
一 教材内容分析
这节课是中等职业学校英语第四册第三单元的reading 部分的Passage A：Bathtub Effect。
二 学习对象分析
这节课教授的对象是高二旅游班的学生，他们具有一定的语言基础，学过几年的英语，但是他们的中考成绩较差，尤其英语水平很低，很多人对英语不感兴趣，不愿意学习，有的同学连单词都读不准确，甚至不敢开口读。不是他们排斥英语，他们也知道英语的重要性，就是学习不得要领。所以本人就目前学生们的现状，用一些较实用的方式重新让他们拾起对英语学习的信心，培养学生对英语的兴趣。

六 Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Revision
1. Revise the important words and phrases we learnt last period.

Step 2 Reading (Passage A：Bathtub Effect）
1. Pre-reading
Get the Ss to talk about the pictures and the title of Passage A, and then ask them the question: Do you know what “Bathtub Effect” is?

2. While-reading
Activity 1. Read passage A and tick (√)true or false.

True False
① The middles of words are usually more noticeable and hence easier
to remember. 引人注目的 因此
② The bathtub effect is a phenomenon about the memorization of words,
names, numbers, etc. 现象
③ When you try to remember a word, the beginning is often better
remembered than the end.
④ When you’re caught by the bathtub effect ,you cannot recall
anything.

Key: True ②③ False ①④

3. Post reading
Activity 2.The following is the dictation of a passage. Caught by the bathtub effect, the writer missed some words. Choose the correct words to complete it.
There is a misconception that a person who is good at talking to others always has ① stories to tell and is full of jokes. In fact , most people want a two-way dialogue with interaction ,not just one person talking the whole time.
A good way of creating good dialogues is by asking questions in a② way. For example, questions like “Do you live in London?” can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, which is not good for breeding conversations. But if a person asks “Where do you live?”, there is scope for a longer and , ③ ,more interesting reply. This is what is called an open-ended question.

a. amazing
b. annoying

a. spastic
b. specific

a. helpfully
b. hopefully
Key : ① a ② b ③b
Notes:
misconception误解,不对的构思和设想；
full of jokes充满玩笑 full adj.
interaction ,互动，配合，合作
For example,= for instance 举例，例如
such as 列举，诸如之类
is not good for 对、、、、、、有益
called an open-ended question叫开放式问题

Step3: Language learning
Notes:
1. Many people regard English learning as a very challenging task,because it is very difficult for them to remember English words. 许多人将英语学习视为极具挑战性的任务，因为对于他们来说记住英语单词太难了。
regard…as “认为、、、、、、是”“把某人作为”，类似的短语还有：have/take /see/think of/view/consider/look on /remember sb.as+名词
2. The consequence is the so-called “bathtub”, according to which speakers will recall with more ease the beginning and the end of words. 这就产生了所谓“浴缸效应”。 “浴缸效应”指说话人会更容易记起词语的开头部分和末尾部分。
with more ease “更容易、更从容”
3. Research says that people remember the beginnings and ends of words better than the middles. 研究表明，人们对单词的开头和结尾记得比中间好。
4. The result is the so-called “bathtub effect” , according to which speakers will recall with more ease the beginning and the end of words.
这就产生了所谓的“浴缸效应”, “浴缸效应”指说话人会更容易记起词语的开头部分和末尾部分。
5. As if the word were a person lying in a bathtub, with the head out of the water at one end and the feet at the other.
这个单词就好像一个人躺在浴缸内，头部在浴缸的一端露出水面，脚在另一端。
① as if the word were a person lying in a bathtub 为as if 引导的虚拟语气，lying in a bathtub 为现在分词作定语，修饰a person。
② with the head out of the water为“with+名词+介词短语”的复合结构形式。
