课时：第 4 课时 课题：Learning More about Cultural Differences
课型：Listening and Viewing 设计者：
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第 4 课时，核心目标为引导学生发现文化差异在语言中的体 现，和培养学生掌握视听语篇大意的能力。
2. 设计思路
本课由“双手合十”的微信表情理解导入，使学生意识到文化差异也体现在 非语言交际中。接着，学生通过听力语篇的介绍了解该差异在体态语方面的体现， 并借由课后探究加深理解。之后，学生运用恰当的视听策略复述视频语篇内容， 了解语言差异无处不在，并通过演绎问答感受语言背后的情感内涵。最后， 学生 以小组竞赛的形式进行头脑风暴和知识拓展，借助语言框架进行产出，了解更多 层次的“美英”和“英英”差异，并设身处地地思考应对语言差异的解决方法和 正确态度。
由于听力板块的 Exercise IV 要求学生举例说明不同国家手势的区别，若在 课内展开，对学生的文化知识储备要求较高，讨论难度较大，因此本课将该部分 内容布置为课后作业，要求学生自主探究，列举体态语的文化差异。
3. 重点难点
理解文化差异在语言交际和非语言交际中的体现；探讨应对语言差异的解决 方法和正确态度。
