Period 9 Task presenting a dialogue (1)
Teaching objectives:
? To understand how a speaker is feeling by identifying different tones ? To develop listening ability through a radio talk show ? To develop the skill of reading for gist through diary entries and a thank-you letter ? To learn how to write a dialogue
Teaching procedures: I. HW checking out:
1. Ask Ss to check with their
partner about the main point and words showing the writer’s mood.
2. Invite some Ss to tell the class
the main point of the entry.
II. Step 1: listening to a radio
phone-in programme 1. Lead-in:
Tell Ss that tones can tell how a
speaker is feeling just as words can tell us the mood of a writer.
2. Understanding tones in spoken English
1) Ask Ss to read the guidelines in
Skills building 1 on page 32 before listening to the five versions of the same sentence in different tones. They will see that there are four main points to determine how the speaker is feeling. Write down the four points on the blackboard: ? the volume ? the tones ? stressed words ? the pause
2) Have Ss listen to the example
sentence in five different tones one by one. After they listen to one of them, ask them to tell what
they think about the speaker’s emotion. Is she happy, or angry? Is she in high spirits or in low spirits? Then let them read the explanation for each sentence.
3) Have Ss read the sentence “He
will come here tomorrow” in different emotions. Ask them: If someone is happy about his coming, how will he say it?
If someone doesn’t want him to come, how will he say it?
If someone is excited about his coming, how will he say it?
If someone is frustrated or questioning, how will he say it?
4) Let Ss listen to the tape and finish
Part A on page 32.
5) Ask Ss to listen to the tape and
finish Part B. Then let them listen to the five sentences again and ask them to tell which word is emphasized and what tones are used for different emotions.
3. Listening to a radio phone-in programme:
1) Ask Ss to listen to a radio phone-in programme and write the names of the callers in the space below. 2) Ask Ss to say something about the pictures. Picture 1: ? What did Jane call about last week? ? Why did Jane call this time?
Picture 2: ? What problem does Christina have with her mum? ? What does the host advise her to do?
