课时： 课题：Learning More about Cultural Differences
课型：视听说课 设计者：
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第 3 课时，核心目标为引导学生了解不同文化中人们对科技的态度， 客观评价科技发展给人们生活带来的利弊和培养学生掌握视听语篇大意和理解细节背后含 义的能力。
2. 设计思路
本课涉及两篇内容，中心话题都是围绕“科技”。第一篇着重谈论新科技给人们生活 带来的负面影响。由学生的讨论导入，使学生意识到在科技发展的同时，也会对人们的生 活产生负面效应。通过讨论让学生表明自己的观念并阐明理由，加深理解。之后学生通过 听力语篇的介绍找出作者的观点，并学会句型“machine will take over work now done by humans”。 在 while-listening 部分，学生重点听数字的表达，并能在老师的引导下分析出 数字背后的理由，并在此过程中掌握文章中的重点词汇。在 post-listening 部分，学生能通 过已经学到的词汇，讨论并表达自己的观点“What jobs do you think will probably disappear in the next 50 years Why ”。
第二篇是通过观看视频，向学生介绍 VR（虚拟现实）给腿脚不便的老年人生活上带 来的希望和憧憬。在导入部分通过 brainstorming 先让学生了解关于 VR technology 的背景 知识并猜测 VR 技术所具有的特征，接着学生观看视频，了解视频中的细节并完成练习。
从教材编排看，第一篇主要以讨论和听数字为主，第二篇主要通过视觉形式呈现真实 的语言场景，帮助学生掌握基础的语言项目，使学生能对学过的目标句型运用自如，创造 性地活用活学。
3. 教学重点及难点
理解本课生词的意义，掌握词语在具体语境及交流环境中的用法；引导学生客观评价 科技发展给人们生活带来的利弊，并能将本课话题与现实生活相联系，展开讨论表达观点。
