Teaching procedures && ways教学过程与方式 Step Ⅰ Lead-in Ask students to discuss how a guide dog is trained. T: Yesterday we read a letter of suggestion to an architect. In the letter Alice asks the architect to provide easy access for people in wheelchairs and those who have difficulty walking. Today we are going to learn how to assist the blind. Now look at the poster. It is a very popular movie that moved 100 million Asians in 2005. What’s the movie? Show the poster on the PowerPoint.  Ss: The Chinese is Dao Mang Quan Xiao Q. T: What’s the movie about? Ss: It is about how Xiao Q—a guide dog helps Dubian —an odd blind man. There is deep love between its master and Xiao Q. T: Xiao Q is his eyes, his company. But do you know how a guide dog like Xiao Q is trained? Ss: No. T: OK, please open your books at Page 46. Read the passage then you will learn how a guide dog is trained. Step Ⅱ Listening Listening Deal with the listening exercises. Besides the requested details, students are asked to pay attention to how people are introduced. Play the tape again when necessary. T: Now let’s come back to the workbook. Sara, who is blind, has just returned home from a guide dog school. Who has come to her home according to the reading passage? Ss: A trainer from the guide dog school. T: Right. A teacher from the school has come to Sara’s house to teach her and her dog how to find their way around their own town. Please listen carefully, and finish the exercises. After dealing with Exx 2-5, play the tape again to do Ex6. T: Now let’s listen to the tape again, and do Ex6. Please pay attention to the dialogue. You will be asked to imitate the dialogue after we fill in the blanks. Before they act out the dialogue, they should be aware this is an introduction. T: What is the dialogue about? Ss: An introduction. T: Now I will ask some of you to act out the dialogue and show us how to make an introduction. Please remember they are at Sara’s house, not a formal occasion. After the performance.[来源:学,科,网] T: Well done. Then do you know how to make a formal introduction? Suppose a business one? Step Ⅲ Talking Ask students to read the passage on Page 47 and then make a timeline that shows the different stages in a guide dog’s training. Stage Training The first stage The puppy lives with a sighted family. The second stage It begins five months training at a guide dog school. The third stage When it is trained, it meets its new owner and the two live at the guide school for a month to learn to work together. The last stage A trainer goes to the owner’s home to teach the dog and its owner how to get round in their own town or city. After dealing with the reading passage, show the following to enrich students’ knowledge of how a guide dog helps its owner. T: Do you know what a guide dog is trained to do? And how much does it cost to train a guide dog? Let’s learn more about the guide dog training. Show the following on the PowerPoint or print it out. Guide dogs are the guiding eyes for people who are blind or visually impaired, and they are specially bred and trained for this most important job. How much does it cost to train a guide dog? It costs more than $30,000 to complete the training of one guide dog. This includes all expenses from breeding to raising the dog to training it and matching it with a blind person. What exactly is a guide dog trained to do? Guide dogs undergo a comprehensive training program, and only the best complete the training and become working guides. In short, guide dogs are taught how to find and follow a clear path, maneuver around obstacles, and stop at curbs. They also are taught to determine when it is unsafe to move on. They follow their teammate’s directions, and they know that they can disobey only in the face of danger. What is the blind person taught during training? During the training program, blind students first learn about the commands the dog knows. Over a several week period, they are taught everything there is to know about how to work with a guide dog. In addition, they learn about proper care of the dog, which ranges from feeding to grooming to medical issues. Access laws, public awareness and other issues also are covered during the 25-day program. Are guide dogs allowed in restaurants? Guide dogs are allowed everywhere that the general public is allowed to go. This includes restaurants, taxicabs, airplanes, hotels etc. This right is protected by a federal law called the Americans With Disabilities Act. Are there things I should or should not do when I am around a guide dog? The general rule is that working guide dogs should be ignored. Distractions take their concentration away from the work they have to do—which can put the dog and its teammate in danger. Do not pet or feed a guide dog and do not encourage the dog to misbehave. First give students some advice on how to introduce people. Show the following on the PowerPoint. Tips on how to introduce people Here’s how to make proper introductions at parties, dinners and other social situations. 1. Introduce individuals to each other using both first and last names. 2. If you’re introducing someone who has a title, a doctor for example, include the title as well as the first and last names in the introduction. 3. Introduce the younger or less prominent person to the older or more prominent person, regardless of the sex of the individuals. (However, if a considerable age difference lies between the two, it is far more courteous to make introductions in deference to age, regardless of social rank.) For example: “Arthur Prefect, I’d like you to meet Dr. Gertrude Smith”. 4. If the person you are introducing has a specific relationship to you, make the relationship clear by adding a phrase such as “my boss”, “my wife” or “my uncle”. 5. Introduce an individual to the group first, then the group to the individual. For example: “Dr. Brown, I’d like you to meet my friends Kym Hsu, Shawn Kampbell and Michael Via. Everyone, this is Dr. Kurt Brown.”[来源:Zxxk.Com] Demonstration Present a formal introduction with two students. Ask students to think about the body language as well as the spoken words. A sample of formal introduction: Donna Sellers: Ms. Tayer, I’d like to introduce my secretary, Paul Banning to you. Mr. Banning, this is Ms. Joy Taylor, the president of Auto Smart company from Canada. Joy Taylor: Nice to meet you. Paul Banning: Pleased to meet you. T: Besides the above suggestions on the PowerPoint, you should also realize that an introduction in a Chinese business is different from an introduction in a Western business. We Chinese prefer to use the title, while the Westerners prefer to use Mr /Ms / Mrs _____. A handshake is acceptable in both cultures. So don’t forget proper body language. Practice Students are given several minutes to practice a formal introduction. Then deal with Ex2 on Page 47.
