Step I Greeting and revision
T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls! First I will check the words and expressions you have previewed. (P11-12 Discovering useful words and phrases part 1, 2, 3, and 4)
Teacher shows answers on the screen.
T: Please look at the screen and check your answer. Do you have any question?
S： Are “such as” and “for example” the same?
T: OK, I’ll give you two examples:
1. He knows five languages, such as Russian, French and Spanish.
2. The differences in the spoken language are greater.
S: Oh, I see. “Such as” is used to list similar things, while “for example” is used to prove the speakers words.
Ss ask any questions and Teacher explains to them in class.
Step II Warming up
Arouse the Ss’ interests in reading. Let the students know of world English.
T: So much for the words. Can you name some countries in which English is spoken?
Ss: Of course. America, Britain, Canada, Australia...
Teacher writes American, British, Canadian, and Australian on the Bb. Then add English to these words.
T: Are these Englishes the same?
S: I think they are the same. They are all called English.
S: I don’t think so. As I know BE and AE are different in spelling, pronunciation and so on.
T: Well, turn to page 9. Read the warming up. Please answer the questions below.
Ss: (scanning) There is more than one kind of English.
T: Please go on reading and try to tell AE words from BE words below.
After reading the students give their answers.
T: Who will show your answer?
S: I think “mum, in a team, rubber, petrol” are BE words. And “mom, on a team, eraser, gas” are AE words.
T: Can you give them a name?
Ss: World English.
T: Very good.
Step III Pre-reading
Activate the Ss’ background knowledge of English.
T: From Warming up we know many people speak English in the world. How many people speak English and why do so many people speak English? Please discuss with your partners and answer the questions.
A few minutes later.
S: Maybe 1000 million people speak English today. Because many countries were colonies of England so English is spoken as a first or second language in many countries.
S: We can’t get the exact number. More and more people begin to learn English because English is the working language in the United Nations. Everywhere children go to school to learn English.
T: Excellent! About 1500 million people speak English as their first, second or foreign language. But they don’t speak the same kind of English.
Step IV Reading
Get the students to know the history of English and help the Ss to form a good habit of reading.
Point to the Bb.
T: How did different kinds of English come about? Please read the text “The Road to Modern English” quickly and pick out the answer.
Ss read quickly to find the answer.
T: Any volunteer to answer the question?
S: I will. English has changed over time. All languages change when cultures communicated with one another.
T: Any different ideas? Well, you all have the same answer.
Task1 Reading and choose correct answers.
T: Turn to page 10. Please read the questions and multiple answers first to know what information we should get, and then read the passage to find the answer.
T: Now who would like to tell us your answer? Any volunteer? The first one?
S: I will. English has the most speakers now.
T: Good. What’s the answer to the second?
S: Languages change when cultures change.
T: Right. How do you know？
S: I judge it, according to the second sentence in the third paragraph.
T: Good. Can you choose the right answer to question 3？
S: Yes. From AD 450 to1150 English sounds more like German.
T: Excellent. What about question 4?
S: Around 1600’s.
T: Very good. The last one? Let’s answer it together.
Ss: China.
T: You are quite right.
Task2 Read and summarize the main idea of each paragraph. Work in groups of four.
T: Read the text and tell the main idea of each paragraph. After reading, discuss your answer in groups of four.
After a few minutes.
T: What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
S1: The first paragraph tells us that more and more people speak English.
S2: I don’t think so. It describes the extension of English in the world.
T: Right. The first paragraph describes the extensive of English in the world. What is the main idea of paragraph 2？
S: It tells us native speakers can understand each other but not everything.
Let the Ss give an example to prove this point.
T: Can you tell me what the third paragraph is about?
S: All languages change when cultures communicate with one another. It’s the key sentence of the last two paragraphs. This paragraph tells the development of English as native language.
T: Quite right. What about the last paragraph?
S: English is spoken as a foreign or second language in many countries.
T: How many parts can we divide the text into？
S: Two parts. The first paragraph is the first part, and paragraph 2, 3 and 4 can be part 2.
Task3 Analyze the text.
T: Please read the text again to tell the main idea of each part and the fun_ction of each paragraph. After reading please fill in the chart below.
Discussion
S1: The first part describes the history of English in chronological order: 16th century-the next century —today.

S3: I agree with S2.
S4: In part two, the author first raises the fact: English has changed over time. Then analyze how English has changed into world English.

Task Express one’s own opinion. Work in groups of four.
T: There are many kinds of English. Which kind of English are we learning?
Ss: Both AE and BE.
Show questions on the screen and ask a student to read them.
T: Please discuss these questions and tell us your answers.
1. Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn? Why?
2. Why do you think people all over the world want to learn English?
3. Will Chinese English become one of the world English?
After a few minutes.
T: OK, I’ll ask some groups to report their opinions. Group 1, can you tell us your opinion?
S: Yes. I think we should learn BE because other kinds of English came from it.
T: Any different ideas?
S: In my opinion, we can learn any kind of English because people can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English.
T: Wonderful! What about the second question?
S: With the development of economy, it is necessary for people from different countries to communicate with each other. So we need a language to be work language, while English is the most widely used language. So people all over the world want to learn English.
T: Very good! What’s your opinion?
S: I think because of the wide use of computer, people have to learn English. Computer plays an important part in the popularity of English.
T: OK. Question 3.Yes or no？
S: My answer is “yes”. A large number of Chinese especially young people are learning English. English is communicating with Chinese culture. There will be Chinese English.
T: Only time will tell. Now we know English is spoken in so many countries and it plays an important part in the world. If we learn English well, we can listen to English song, read English novels, travel in English speaking countries comfortably and communicate with foreigners easily. Also, it is of great help not only to our own development but also to the development of our country. The Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. Let’s work hard and welcome its coming.
Question time
T: It’s time for you to ask any questions or let me explain the sentences that hinder your understanding of the text.
Ss ask questions freely.
T: Now let’s deal with some language points. Turn to page 9. Let’s look at the sentence: However, they may not understand everything. This sentence means that sometimes they can understand each other, but sometimes they have difficulty understanding each other. The English spoken between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. In this sentence, “spoken between about AD 450 and 1150” and “spoken today” are used to describe the English.
