(一)主题任务(Core tasks)
根据本单元的中心主题,建议设计以下主题任务。
专题调查
活动时间:在学完本单元之后
活动形式:个人活动、小组活动、全班活动
语言知识要求:本单元词汇与句型
语言技能要求:听、说、读、写
活动过程:
1.选择内容:所要调查的内容与本单元话题相关。例如,阅读习惯、学习风格、个性特征、人生目标,等等。把全班分成几个小组,每个小组选择一个方面的内容进行研究,编制调查问卷。例如:
2.展开调查:小组的每个成员运用小组编制的问卷选择对象进行调查,记录并整理有关信息。
3.分析信息:在小组范围内交流有关内容,分类整理,得出结论。
4.撰写报告:选择一个小组成员执笔撰写调查报告,其他同学也要参与补充、修改。记住运用曲线图、柱状图、饼图和其他图表形式。
5.交流信息:在全班交流调查报告。
6.各抒己见:小组活动,就调查所发现的问题提出建议。每个成员撰写文章,列举问题,提出措施。
(二)热身(Warming up)
该部分教学中教师可以补充一些问题。例如:通过对下列表述做出True或False的判断,可以调查学生的合作精神。
(三)听力(Listening)
该部分教学要注意以下几个方面:
听前,教师要做好铺垫。
1.帮助学生扫除词汇障碍:
1)教学与科学调查有关的词汇,例如:survey, questionnaire,comments,observation,majority等。
2)教学科学调查中常用的统计方法,例如百分比和频率的英文表达方法。
3)介绍各种用于科研目的的图表。
2.联系本班学生的实际讨论,除练习1中的三个问题外,教师还可以补充一些与学生课余生活有关的问题供学生讨论,例如:
1)Do you like ball games? Do you often play basketball/football after class?
2)How often do you go to cinema?
3)Do you play PC games? Where do you play? Do your parents / teachers allow you to do so?
4)How much pocket money do your parents give you each month? Is it enough?
5)Do you have many friends? Where do you make friends?
听的过程中,教师要为学生分解难度:
1.分段播放,先放1-3段,做练习2中的表格题;再放4-5段做练习2中的饼图题。
2.重复两、三次。
听后,引导学生讨论。例如:
1.Do you think it necessary for you to do SO much homework to remember the knowledge and build up the ability? How much homework is enough? What kind of homework do you like most? What the least?
2.Do you think you can do a part-time job? Why or why not?
3.Do the part-time jobs you have done help you understand what you are learning in class? Give your reasons.
4.What do you think of putting away the money you have earned in a savings account?
5.Why is getting to know people in different setting important?
6.Is it difficult for students of your age to find a part-time job?
(四)口语(Speaking)
该部分还可以设计以下几个教学内容:
1.在讨论该部分的三个情景前,让学生开动脑筋,列举取得他人信任的作用。
Benefits of being trusted:
1)You may earn a good reputation.
2)You may spend less time persuading people to do what you want them to do.
3)You will probably have more opportunities as you are reliable.
4)You have confidence in fulfilling your task.
5)Even if someone disagrees with you,he or she will respect you.
6)You will find it easier to cooperate with others.
7)If you set an example,others would like to follow.
8)People will be friendly to you and will support you.
9)People are willing and happy to contact you.
2.在讨论过该部分的三个情景后,让学生讨论如何取得他人的信任。
Suggested ideas:
1.Keep your promises.
2.Put your words into action.
3.Never boast.
4.Say what you really think.
(五)阅读(Reading)
该部分文章要说明的核心是:怎样才能使团队发挥最大效率?尽管本文做了详尽的剖析,并以体育运动队为例进行阐释,但运用的都是理论分析的方法,这对于学生来讲,理解和记忆都有一定的困难。因此,建议教师采用更为形象的手段。
1.具体举例。例如,就团队的组成、队员的角
色、领队及教练的作用、以全胜战绩夺得冠军的秘诀等等进行提问和讨论。
2.设计板书。例如:
3.分解难度。教师还可以让学生回答以下问题:
1.What is a team?
2.Why are students asked to work in teams at school?
3.How are sports teams made up?
4.Is the coach counted as a team member? What’s the role of the coach?
5.Is it necessary for all the team members to be friends?
6.What are some of the requirements that make the team work well?
7.How are the tasks of the group divided?
8.Why should group members respect and sup port each other?
(六)读后(Post.reading)
该部分的教学注意以下几个方面:
1.第一个活动可以和“读前”部分的第三个练习结合起来,因为这两个练习提问的内容是相同的。让学生浏览课文,完成“读前”部分的第三个练习;让学生细读课文,完成“读后”部分的第一个活动。在黑板上绘制网络图,分两步让学生填写有关内容,通过细读学生可以更全面地把握有关内容。
2.第二、三和第四个活动都不能直接在文章中找到答案,教师可以补充相关材料,也可以让学生自己查寻。例如:
The E-learning Project Team:Roles and Re Sponsibilities
In the late 1980’s to early 1990’s,it was common for a person,a super-producer,to single-handedly create a high quality learning programme.However,creating effective e-learning in today's marketplace is becoming an increasingly difficult task for one person.Regardless of how much division of labour is applied,team members will likely play more than one role.
Sponsor
The sponsor acts on behalf of his or her organization to assure that the product reduces cost,increases productivity,or in some other way adds value.
Project Manager
The project manager is responsible to the sponsor for the quality of the finished product.
Subject Matter Expert

Instructional Designer
A typical instructional designer has a background in liberal arts,often with a master’s degree in instructional design,psychology,education,or multimedia technology.
Writer
Working after an instructional designer has created an outline,a writer creates and revises the script.
Graphic Artist
From the blueprints created by the instructional designer and scriptwriter,the graphic artist creates screen layouts;specific interface items such as buttons,windows,and menus;and specific graphics and animations necessary to the programme.

还可以结合电视、广播、报刊、出版等工作讨论团队作用。
3.教师还可以提供更多的讨论题。例如:
1)Is the coach as important as the team members? Give your reasons.
2)Why is it important that each player has a clear role?
3)Different teams require different roles.Give some examples.
4)How do you understand the importance of rules and regulations?
(七)语言练习(Language practice)
该部分的第一个练习与“阅读”部分的课文有直接的联系,难度不大。不过,作为巩固性练习,教师要尽量提高学生应用的灵活性,可以让一个小组的学生用同一个词造句,这样就有许多不同的句子让大家分享。第二个练习有一定的难度,可以指导学生先确定意义后确定形式,这样难度分解后更有利于学生完成这个练习。第三个练习对于所有层次的学生都有一定的难度,教师要加强方法的指导。
1.信息复现是写作中的一种常见现象,学习复现的规律有助于完整上下文的信息。例如:
1)上下文中,有时同一词会重复出现。
While my father was an officer of the British army in South Africa,we lived in a two-storey house….I saw, over my father’s shoulder,a gorilla,the worst enemy of the soldier in Africa.
2)同义词、近义词或解释性的语言可使上下文语义得以连接起来。
In March 2005,a survey was carried out among 23 young people from Xiamen.Thirteen of them were male and nine were female.
3)具有概括性的词和具有分述作用的词也是缺词填空的重要线索。
For example,she has been learning how to ex change messages with people.Scientists are teaching her sign language….Andrew has also been trained to think out and find answers to the problems.
2.阐述同一话题时,相关的表达方式和信息会
形成一个个词汇链和信息链。例如:
Robert noticed that he was standing next to a large camera.“You! We were making a film and you spoiled the whole afternoon’s work!”
教师有必要帮助学生加强词汇之间的联系,形成具有实用意义的词汇链。例如:以friend为话题可以提供以下练习:
用下列短语完成句子:
1)I hear you work with Peter.Did you know he was ________ ?
2)I suppose Sandra is ________ .We ring each other most evenings.
3)I’m going up to see ________ in Scotland next week.I haven’t seen them for over sixty years!

5)I met Martin at university.It was the start of
答案:1 a friend of mine 2 my best friend 3 some old friends 4 a close friend 5 a lifelong friendship
(八)综合技能(Integrating skills)
该部分教学注意几个方面:
1.阅读和写作是一个有机的整体,阅读为写作做铺垫,写作是对阅读的总结和延伸。因此,阅读教学中,教师要针对写作所要涉及的话题提炼内容:
Items Li Yonghong’s experlence Your opinions
Decisions
Parents’offer
University
Finances
Risks
2.针对阅读内容,补充几种个性类型。例如:
