Viewing: Why Should Students Learn Foreign Languages
John and I have been friends for a very long time . We applied for colleges for higher education together. John successfully converted his application into admissions to the best of colleges with scholarships while I faced rejection . Reflecting on the experience, I deeply regret wasting so much time. During our free time, John involved himself in learning new things, including a new language of his choice. On the other hand, I simply lazed around.
Learning a new language helped John enhance his global mindset and raise his ability to appreciate other cultures, thus making him open to learning. Besides, it helped him sharpen his cognitive and life skills, which improved his chances of gaining entry into graduate schools since most universities favour candidates who understand a foreign language and its culture as well.
Try to learn everything about everything and everything about something.

尽可能广泛地涉猎各门学问， 并且尽可能深入
地择一钻研。

课时：第四课时

课型：Listening and Viewing
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元第四课时，核心目标为能依据视听内容获取内容要点和支撑性 论据；能借助问题中的关键提示词获取相关细节；能理解多模态资源所传达的不 同学习者的经历。
2. 设计思路
本课为本单元第四课时，通过前三课时有关语言塑造思维的语篇等语料的思 考，学生已了解不少语言影响或塑造思维的实例，并对语言和思维之间的关系进 行了辩证思考。本课听力材料的主题为保护澳大利亚濒危语言，视频材料的主题 为学习外语的好处，可以引导学生从多模态资源中获取语篇内容和细节，归纳理 解语言与文化间的关系，梳理学习外语给学生带来的好处，进一步让学生辩证思 考是否应该学习一门二外。
在导入部分，让学生通过阅读 Culture Link 对“部分语言正在消失 ”的这一 现状有所了解，意识到语言和文化、文明传承之间的关系，进而引导学生思考我 们要保护濒危语言，保护文化多样性。听中环节教师会提前告知学生注意听力材 料中的数字，让学生能更好地抓住所需信息，获取澳大利亚濒危语言现状，通过 课本习题梳理语言和文化间的关系；听后让学生结合生活实际思考上海方言的现 状。
视频内容通过两个男孩的学习经历介绍学习外语的好处。为训练学生从多模 态语料中获取信息的能力，先让学生观看静音版本视频猜测人物关系和主要内容； 观看有声视频前，教师会提前讲授抓取关键信息的方法，引导学生定位到关键点， 梳理出视频语篇的框架，再次观看时通过填充表格的方式获取细节。最后引导学 生运用从多模态资源中习得的语言知识，结合主人公的故事，阐述学习二外的好 处，进一步引导学生思考语言和思维间的关系。
3. 教学重点及难点
教学重点在于教导学生掌握在听和看的过程中定位关键信息的技巧，获取听 力语篇有关澳大利亚濒危语言的现状，能结合视频语篇所举实例论述学习外语的 好处。
教学难点在于引导学生辩证思考学习外语对人们思维的影响，唤起学生保护 方言，挽救濒危语言的意识。
