二、教学方法建议
(一)关于“世界英语” 本单元通过对“世界英语”这一话题的探讨,以加强学生对英语语言的了解,对当代语言特别是英语发展趋势的了解。世界在变化、时代在发展、社会在前进,作为人类交流的工具,语言必然随着时代的发展而变化,特别是英语,这一被公认的通用语言的变化更是让人始料不及。由于英语在世界上的重要地位和它的广泛使用,各国人民在使用英语的过程中不断发展、改进、更新他们使用的英语和本国语。这种不断的吸收、交融、容纳、创新就形成了各种各样带有某个国家、某个民族、或某个地区特色的英语。那种所谓的BBC标准英语不再被人们认为是“唯一”的标准英语了。本课旨在为学生学习英语又打开一扇窗户,使学生了解一点当代语言新趋势和新特点,明确为什么除了英国英语和美国英语,还会有印度英语、加拿大英语等,以后可能还会有中国英语。
尽管如此,教师在教授本课时必须强调美国英语、澳大利亚英语、印度英语、新加坡英语等都有各自的规律性和惯用法。要提防学生认为可以滥用英语词汇,随意违反英语语法规则或惯用法,不顾正常的发音、语调等。要注意防止过分渲染非标准英语,防止学生认为讲英语可以随心所欲,更不可忽视对学生进行基本的标准语言训练。特别应该指出的是在学生用书的听力部分,原文真实地反映了美国南部地区英语的方言和口音,旨在让学生感受一下将英语作为母语的本国人说话的一个侧面,所以教师在指导学生进行听力训练时,要注意掌握尺度,让学生感觉一下、了解一下,点到为止,不提倡硬性模仿。
(二)英国英语和美国英语的区别 可以给学生布置以下任务:通过对话形式,将所学过的英美说法不同之处,按实际生活和想象编一段对话,尽可能运用语言功能中的表达语言困难的说法,操作过程如下:
Step 1 Give students some words and expressions such as movie / film, block / street, apartment / flat, fall / autumn, gas / petrol, etc.
Step 2 Divide the students into groups and ask them to make a dialogue.
Step 3 Let students practise the dialogue with their partners.
编写对话不一定将所给词汇全部用上,下面的对话仅供教师参考:
(A person from Hawaii is visiting China.He wants to go to a cinema, but doesn\'t know the way.He asks a Chinese student the way.)
S1: Aloha.
S2: Pardon? What is Aloha?
S1: That is Hello!
S2: Hello! What can I do for you?
S1: Would you tell me the way to the cinema? I\'d like to see a movie.
S2: Movie?
S1: Yes.That\'s a film.
S2: Go straight ahead and cross three streets.The cinema is on your left-hand side.
S1: Could you say that again, please?
S2: Go straight ahead and then go over three blocks.The cinema will be on your left.By the way, where are you from?
S1: I\'m from Hawaii.I am visiting your country.I like your country very much.
S2: I\'m glad to hear that.Please follow me.I can take you to the cinema.My flat is on that street.
S1: Sorry, I can\'t follow you.What is flat?
S2: Flat means apartment.I moved here last autumn.
S1: Do you mean“last fall”?
S2: Quite right.Well, your English is quite different from what my teacher teaches.
S1: Actually, I speak American English.You understand British and American English.That\'s great!
