The topic of unit 4 is Seasons. The topic for Listening is The Weather for Canberra. A girl named Kelly is talking about the weather in Canberra. The listening tasks involve putting four photos into correct orders and completing a table. The material itself is not too difficult. However, the background knowledge of the quite different seasons in Australia and the expressions of months might be a barrier for students. Student Analysis:Students in grade 7 have grasped some basic skills of listening. However, they lack the background knowledge of the weather in Canberra, and they are not very familiar with the expressions of 12 months. And furthermore, to talk about the weather is another higher requirement for them. It would be hard for them to retell what they have listened to and to reproduce their input. Teaching Aims:Students are able to:1. Knowledge(1)Learn some new words. E.g. Canberra, November, December, warm, dry, sunny. (2)Use some language patterns. E.g. there are, we usually go to2. Skills(1)Grasp basic listening skills, such as, predicting before listening; listening for keywords and taking notes;(2)Understand the ideas and discourse structure of the listening material; (3)Retell the listening material;(4)Relate the material to their daily life experiences and talk about the weather in Guangzhou following the patterns of the text. 3. EffectsExpress their opinions on the weather in Canberra and in Guangzhou.-2-4. Cultural awareness(1)Enrich their background knowledge of Australia and the weather in Canberra;(2)Understand the differences in seasons in the Northern and Southern hemisphere.5. Learning strategy(1)Use a mind map to conclude the ideas and the discourse structure of the listening material;(2)Share and cooperate with others through group work.(3)Relate what they have learnt to their daily life experiences.(4)Reflect on and evaluate their studies. Teaching Methods:This lesson is a task-based design. Students are aimed to complete a series of tasks. First, listen and understand Kellys introduction of the weather in Canberra. Second, talk about their choice of seasons if they are to visit Canberra. Third, be a guide and introduce the weather in Guangzhou to Kelly. The tasks are interactive and linked together, serving to transfer input to output. Use of Media: The use of media includes PowerPoint, radio and blackboard. Teaching focus:The focus of teaching will be on helping students grasp and understand the ideas of the listening material and the discourse structures in introducing the weather. And through input, students are to relate the material with their daily life experiences and further, produce output. Anticipated difficulties:It might be difficult for students to understand the quite opposite weather in Canberra. And how to follow the patterns of weather introduction and talk about the weather in Guangzhou might also be difficult for them. -3-Procedures StageTeacher activityStudents activityStage AimStep 1:Warming-up1.show Ss two photos of Australia and talk about the photos;2.guide Ss to have a quiz“How much do you know about Australia?”3.ask Ss to guess and predict: “What season is it in Canberra?”1. look at two photos of Australia and talk about the photos;2.have a quiz;3.guess and predict the seasons in Canberra.1.arouse Ss interest and curiosity in the topic.2.enrich Ss background knowledge on the weather in Canberra.3.reduce difficulties in words and background knowledge in listening.1.
