教學(xué)重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)
1.be famous for的講解
以……著名[其同義詞組為be (well)known for
Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful scenery. 杭州以?xún)?yōu)美的風(fēng)景而聞名。
be famous for 與be famous as的區(qū)別
1) 當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是表示人的名詞
be famous for表示“以某種知識(shí)技能、作品或特征而出名”
be famous as則表示“以某種身份而出名”
Einstein was famous for his Theory of Relativity. 愛(ài)因斯坦以他的相對(duì)論而出名。

注意：be famous for后的介詞賓語(yǔ)是主語(yǔ)所屬內(nèi)容，而be famous as后的介詞賓語(yǔ)與主語(yǔ)是同位成分。例如：
Einstein was famous as a great scientist. 可說(shuō)成：Einstein was a great scientist.
2.kind, sort和type的區(qū)別
kind指性質(zhì)相同，且有極相似之物質(zhì)，在分類(lèi)中可作為一類(lèi)者。

type則指型，類(lèi)型，比較具體，肯定等，而kind比較籠統(tǒng)，模糊。
Men of his type are not to be trusted.像他那種類(lèi)型的人不可信賴(lài)。

教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)方案：Lesson 25
Teaching Aims
1. Know about the difference between American English and Canadian English.
2. Practise in pairs，telling the difference between two things or two countries.
3. Study the language points in this lesson.
Step I Revision and Warming - up
1. The teacher may start like this
Now, boys and girls, we’ve learned English for nearly more than five years. In which countries in the world do the people speak English?
The teacher collects the names of the countries, write them on the blackboard, and practise their pronunciation, especially word stress.
England , Australia, New Zealand, America , Canada , and so on.
Step II Introduction
1)Say to the Ss: In the world there are so many English - speaking Countries. But do you know in different countries, people don’t speak English in the same way. So, in this period, we are going to learn the difference between American English and Canadian English. In today’s lesson, we are going to meet Dean; he’s Canadian. He is talking about Canadian English.
2)Which of the following does he talk about: grammar, vocabulary, spelling or pronunciation?
3)Write these words on the blackboard. Get the Ss to read the dialogue quickly and give the answers (Vocabulary, Spelling, Pronunciation)
Step III Listening
1.Play the tape of the dialogue for the Ss to listen and follow. Now Dean is talking about Canadian English.
2 Ask the Ss to answer the two questions.
1).Is an American accent very different from a Canadian accent?
2).Do people have the same accent all over the country?
Step Ⅳ Oral Practice
1.Repeating and imitating the pronunciation and intonation about the dialogue.
2.Ask the Ss to do pair work or group work to practise this dialogic. One plays the role of Dean and the other Fang Qun. Then change the roles.
Step Ⅴ Summary of Lesson 25
To the whole class. After learning the dialogue , what do we know about Canadian English ?
Answer: There are just a few differences between a Canadian accent and an American accent. Most Canadians say news [ nju：z] , but Americans say [ nu：z] . Canadians mainly use American words, but they use quite a lot of British words too. Generally speaking, newsp apers follow the American way, but conference reports and schoolbooks use British spelling. In the eastern provinces, or some country areas, people speak quite differently from the rest of Canada.
Step ⅥLanguage focus
The teacher presents the following points on slides or on a screen, and asks the Ss to explain the uses of them. The teacher helps them when they have difficulties.
1) tell the difference between
2) fill…with
3) follow the American way
4) That sounds strange.
Step Ⅶ Workbook
1.Wb Lesson 25 Ex.
Call out one or two Ss and ask them to read aloud each sentence. Ask the class Right or Wrong?
2. Wb Lesson 25 Ex. 2 and 3
1).First let the Ss read the dialogue to make sure the Ss know the dialogue very well before they start doing Ex 2. Then call out one or two Ss to read out their completed passage to the whole class to check the answers.
2).Ex 3. First get the Ss to work in pairs or in groups and then ask several pairs to read out their dialogues.
