Teaching Goals and Suggested Teaching Process
Part One Teaching Goals
On completion of this unit, teachers are expected to have enabled students to: ■ have a thorough understanding of the text contextually and linguistically;
■ build up an active vocabulary to talk about freshman year and know how to use the key words
and expressions in context properly;
■ communicate with regard to freshman year experience;
■ understand what American parents and their children think of the freshman year;
■ reflect on their own experience of the first year at college and how their parents feel when they leave home to attend college;
■ make a comparison between American college students’ parents and Chinese ones; ■ get familiar with the writing of an email.
Part Two
Suggested Teaching Process
This unit is designed for a six-to-eight period class. In each of the periods, certain tasks are to becompleted. Generally speaking, there may be several different ways to explore this unit. Here is asuggested teaching plan.
注：Reading 2和Opener一起处理，主要基于以下考虑：1）使用本书的学生应该都是新生，Reading 2是关于中国高校新生报到，内容非常贴近他们的生活；2）和主课文相比，Reading 2的语言较直接、明了。这样由浅入深的安排更容易帮助学生进入学习状态。
