What was Noah Webster 2. Why did he feel that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive “American” look 3. What was his first work 4. What is Webster best known for 5. How do you know his dictionary is very important Sample answers:1. Noah Webster was a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778.2. Because he had fought against the British in the Independence war, he loved his own country very much. He wanted his own language different from British English. He believed that America should have its own standards of grammar and spelling, and not be so closely tied to the old British ways. Noah Websters’ texts promoted an American sense of identity, and set the standards for American’s use of the English language as their own, separate from the English language of the British. The spelling, pronunciation, and grammar of the English language in this country became uniquely American as his textbooks were used in schools for nearly 100 years.3. The Elementary Spelling Book, which suggested simplifying the spelling of English words was extremely popular.4. American dictionary of the English language, which first appeared in 1828.5. After it came out, it soon became a standard reference book in the States. Today it is still the number one dictionary for American students.T: From the text and his profile, we learned that Noah Webster was a truly remarkable man, shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. He was called father of the American dictionary. So that’s why he is still respected over such a long time. Being upright and learned will gain one great respect. We should learn from him. Everyone should love his own country and do something for the country. As students we can introduce our country to people in other parts of the world and we can also encourage them to learn Chinese, because the Chinese language is part of Chinese culture. Students read the passage and answer the questions. 初步让学生表达自己理想的，为写作做铺垫。
Step IV Homework Finish writing about the Chinese language.A sample writing:The Chinese writing system Chinese characters have a very long history. Their earliest known form, found on ‘oracle bones’ dating back over 3,000 years, was already a fully developed system of writing. The current form of the characters, based on brush and ink, dates from the fourth century AD. Around 50,000 characters are actually in use in the modern language. Most people know about 20,000 to read books and newspapers. Chinese is written with characters known as 漢字 [汉字] (hànzi). Most characters have elements of meaning and information about pronunciation. The characters were originally pictures of people, animals or other things but over the centuries they have become increasingly stylised and no longer resemble the things they represent. Many of the characters are actually compounds of two or more characters.Varieties of Chinese The better-known and most distinct minority dialects include those spoken around China’s coastal fringes, such as Shanghainese（Shanghai hua）, Fujianese （Minnan hua） and Cantonese （Guangdong hua）, though even within the areas covered by these dialects you’ll find huge local divergences. All varieties of Chinese are tonal. This means that each syllable can have a number of different meanings depending on the intonation with which it is pronounced. For example, Mandarin has 4 tones, Cantonese has between 6 and 9 (it depends who you ask) and Taiwanese has 7 tones. The major varieties of Chinese are mutually unintelligible, but most people in China and Taiwan who don’t speak Mandarin as their first language, can speak or least understand it. However in Hong Kong and Macau few people speak Mandarin, so they tend to use English to communicate with people from other parts of China or Taiwan. Each of the major varieties of Chinese has numerous dialects. For example, Mandarin can be divided into northern, southern and south-western dialects, which are more or less mutually intelligible. Chinese people from different parts of the country therefore communicate with each other through the common language of Putonghua. Putonghua has been systematically promoted over the past hundred years as the unifying language of the Chinese people.The Language Today The Chinese language has become more important globally, and China has also played a positive role in promoting its Chinese. More than 30 million people in the world are learning Chinese as a foreign language through various ways. In the United States, about 24,000 high school students are learning Chinese, while more than one million high school students are learning French. The Chinese language is also an important part of the human heritage, and the human individuality as well. With China’s rapidly growing economy and increasing international exchanges, value of the Chinese language is rising constantly. Students try to finish homework. 引导学生自主完成作业和复习。
