Summarize the passage Summary: When students finish college, they have mastered a quite a lot of information, but not as much as they may think they have. Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information. When they move forward to their careers, they will quickly discover how much they still have to learn. College can only the set the stage for their future learning. There is now way it can give them all the information they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly. A good teacher like the one in the story should make this clear to the students in a memorable way that they can take with them after graduation. This is way graduation is sometimes called ―commencement‖. 11 教 学 设 计 备注 Step 3 Practice 1. Listen and read the passage 2. Answer questions 3.

Culture Notes Grading System in the U.S. Most colleges use letter grades like A, B, C, D, F, and some use plus or minus like B-or C+. To computer students‘ averages they say A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0 to graduate. Grades of F must be repeated to get credit. Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate. A few colleges use numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60, F=50, but this may be up to the professor Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75mins) 1.

Lead-in questions: 1) How is learning made more convenient through the Internet? 2) Why does online education often cost less to the students than classroom-based education? 3. Culture notes: Development Background of Distance Learning Typically we perceive that higher education has always used the lecture method to deliver material. In reality, this is a relatively new phenomenon. For centuries, knowledge was passed from a master to a pupil in a one-to-one or one-to-few arrangement (apprenticeship form of education). This method is still used in most Ph.D. programs today. Over time, the lecture method of arranging a meeting at a given place and time with many students was adopted and has now become the primary educational delivery method. However, classroom lecture has not singularly been used for educational delivery in the twentieth century. Distance learning through the use of closed circuit television has existed for over 25 years. In addiction, correspondence courses have existed for over 50 years. Generally, these methods have not been perceived as providing the same learning impact as the lecture method. In the United States, formal education fifty years ago was basically the province of a privileged few in our society. However, as the American economy has changed form an agrarian mode, then to the industrial mode, through the information age, and now in the telecommunication age, formal education, which includes exposure to the liberal arts and technology, has become essential for the economic success of individuals, organizations and countries. The undergraduate student population three decades ago was basically single, residential, full-time, and 18-23 years old. As we enter the telecommunication age, with its vastly expanded employment skill sets, the undergraduate student population has changed to include older, married employed, and non-residential stude nts. The American work force must continuous be retained as a result of technological changes. Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins) 1. Read the text as quickly as possible and try to find the answer to the following questions: 1) What characteristics are typical of the traditional classroom? 2) Why is completing a program no longer a problem for an online student? 22 3) How do online students interact with their classmates? 4) Are there any limitations for the students to register for an online course? Why or why not? 5) According to the author, what is the future of online education? 2. Skim the passage and try to find the main idea: Main idea: Online education is cheaper and more convenient than classroom-based learning. Time and money are saved on travel, classroom space, books. Almost anyone can take almost any class whenever they wish. All students can benefit, and some students could not take classes any other way. 1.

In some countries, it‘s conventional for guests to wear black or dark-colored clothes. 23 教 学 设 计 备注 5) approach: n. the way to deal with something e.g. Since our research so far has not produced any answers to this problem, we need to adopt a different approach to it. n. coming near e.g. Many kinds of birds fly south at the approach of winter. v. to deal with something e.g. We needs to find the best way of approaching the problem. v. to come near or nearer to in space, time, quality, or amount e.g. We could just see the train approaching in the distance. 6) conventional: in the way which is accepted by most people in a particular society e.g. As an artist I find him very dull and conventional—he‘s not prepared to try anything new. In some countries, it‘s conventional for guests to wear black or dark-colored clothes. 7) accessible: easy to reach, get into, obtain, use, or talk to e.g. The resort is easily accessible by road, rail, and air. I think you will find she‘s very accessible. 8) issue: a subject or problem which people are thinking and talking about e.g. environmental/ scientific/ personal/ family/ ethical issue The group had prepared a report on the issues of management and staff training. The burning issue (= what we are discussing at present) is whether we should buy a new car. 9) source: the place sth. comes from or start at, or the cause of sth. e.g. Oranges are a good source of vitamin C.

Usually we find sentences with incorrect use of forms of nouns in student‘s writing. See if you can find the mistakes in the following sentences. 1) We can learn a lot of knowledges by reading books. 2) I think it important for us to give the smokers an advice. 3) The computer is very useful because it is able to store many informations. 4) They are interested in the little girl because she speaks a good English. 2. Articles The use of English articles (a/an/the) is one of the most difficult points in writing. Although students have learned a set of rules about articles, they still have trouble and tend to misuse them. Step 3 Practical Writing Notes of Apology A note of apology is like a short letter with only one or two paragraphs. It is usually handwritten. Its tone may be either formal or informal depending on the people and the situation. If it is formal it should address the recipient with a correct title and some words of respect. Then it should clearly state the reason for the apology and promise to remedy the situation, and conclude with a suitable closing phrase. Step 4 Assignments 1.

By using different tenses, we can get the time of the particularly situation we want to describe and also show the continuity of the action or state. If we do not want our readers to misunderstand the time of actions and events in our writing, we should try to use verb tenses correctly. It is true that high school graduates have already learned a great deal about English verb tenses, but when is comes to writing in English, many students tend to make mistakes. So if you want to write with correct verb tenses, more practice is necessary. Step 3 Practical Writing Poster To write a good poster for a concert, or some other entertainment, you must arouse the readers‘ interest and enthusiasm. Graphics are very helpful for this. Then you must clearly and simply give the readers all the information they need to know to attend the event at the right time, place, etc. If there is an admission charge, say how much it is. 1. Invitation Cards To invite people to a party does not require a fancy card unless the party is very formal. But the information should be very clear and specific, and it should also be clear whether an acceptance of the invitation is required. If so the letters RSVP (― Reply Sent Very Promptly‖ in English, or ―Responez s‘il vous plait‖ in French) is something used. Step 4 Assignments 1. Write an invitation card to a party for graduating seniors at your campus. Include local details to make it interesting and realistic. 2. Make a poster for a music concert at your campus. You may conclude the names of local places, people or groups to make it more realistic. 思考题 (讨论Write a poster in English 题)及作 业 43 教 案 授课时间 2011 年 10 月 11 日 星期 二 第 3-4 节课 章节名称 第 章第 节 题目:Unit 4 Living on Your Own Listen and Talk 1.to enable students to get to know the meaning of ― living on your own‖ 2.to enable students to talk about what they can do on and off campus 3.to help students understand the dialogues and learn some words and 教学目的 expressions 4. get some idea of the benefits Ss can get from doing part-time jobs 1.to enable students to master some useful words and phrases and learn to make sentences with them 教学重点 2.to enable students to talk about talk about what they can do on and off campus How to enable students to talk about talk about what they can do on and off campus 教学难点 Lecturing and Presentation Question raising 教学方法 Communicative Approach Practice Discussion 课程资源Text book Multi-media blackboard 准备 44 教 学 设 计 备注 Step 1 Lead in (20 mins) 1.

Culture Notes: For Chinese students this may mean leaving home to attend college.
