Teaching procedures and ways教学过程与方式
Step I Lead-in (1a: P86)
T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls. Nice to see you again.
Ss: Good morning / afternoon.
T: Do you like traveling I am sure most of you do. When we are traveling in strange cities, sometimes we may find it difficult to get to a place. So we have to ask the locals for information. What do you usually say when you ask for directions, for example, you want to visit a museum What should we pay attention to when we ask others for information
S: I think we should be very polite in using language. T: You are right. In this unit, we will learn some polite expressions in English used to ask for information. They will be very helpful for you, especially when you travel in English-speaking countries.
Ask the Ss to match the places with activities in 1a, introduce the structures “Do you know where I can ... / Could you tell me where I can ...” to them.
T: What kinds of places do you usually go to in your city List as many as possible.
S: Restaurant, bank, museum, theater, department store, shopping mall, bookstore, post office, supermarket, park and so on.
T: What do you do in a post office
S1: I can send mails to my friends or buy some stamps.
T: Good. What do you do in a shopping mall
S2: I usually go to the shopping mall with my mother and buy some clothing there.
T: OK. Now look at the box in 1a on page 86, suppose you want to do the following things, match each thing with a place in the picture below.
There may be different answers. After the Ss finish matching, collect the answers.
T: Now suppose you are not in your own city, you are traveling in another city, which you are not familiar. For example, you want to save money but you don’t know where the bank is. What would you do
S3: I would ask a local citizen for help.
T: What would you say then
S3: Where is the nearest bank I can’t find it.
T: If I were the local citizen, I would say nothing and turn away.
S3: Why
T: Because your request sounds very impolite. He / She won’t help a rude person, you see We can use the following expressions instead to ask for help.
Show the following structures on the screen.
Could you tell me where I can ...
Do you know where I can get to ...
T: By using these two structures, your requests may sound very polite and I am sure he / she will tell you how you can get to the bank. Will you have a try Make S3: Could you tell me where I can get to the nearest bank
T: Great, that sounds much better. Or we can also say “Do you know where I can save money ” Make more sentences using these two expressions.
S: Do you know where I can buy any local presents Could you tell me where I can make a phone call
Step II Listening and Speaking (1b & 1c: P86)
Ask the Ss to listen and complete the conversations. After that let the Ss work in pairs and practice the structures orally.
