Text analysis 本节课是外研版七年级下册Unit2 Here are some ways to welcome them的第二课时,课型为阅读课。身势语是人们在日常生活中进行表达和交流的一种重要形式,其中也蕴含了不同国家的文化,是非常能引起学生兴趣的一个话题。本单元的课文以“Body language around the world” 为题,介绍了世界各地一些独特的身势语,以此让学生开始关注身势语,意识到身势语是文化的一部分,认识到要尊重他国的文化就应该了解他们的身势语,使学生明白包括身势语在内的语言在国际交流中的重要性,这也是英语课程标准中所阐述的教学目标之一。文章主题明确,通过题目以直观的方式让学生了解不同国家的身势语,让学生明白在今后与外国友人交流中注意合理使用身势语并尊重他国文化。从文体形式看,本文是一篇说明文,在文章结构上采用英语国家的“总述—分述”结构形式,文章首段以“欢迎外国新生”做导引,接下来从“站的远近”、“身体接触”、“是否看对方”、“是否告别”等四个方面阐释目标主题,而每个方面的阐述均以疑问句的方式来提出问题,语言客观平实,易于学生理解和接受。
