四. Teaching procedure
Step 1 acting 12 minutes
(Check yesterday’s homework.)Teacher chooses two groups to act out a news report or an interview in the front of class.
Step 2 pre-listening 4 minutes
T: Today, we are going to learn the listening part. Open your book to page 10. Let’s see the title first. There are two parts of the listening material, part 1 is an interview and part 2 is a dialogue. First, let’s learn those new words in exercise 1(the table below)
New words are: fire; face; difficulty; nosy.
Part 1 Part 2 Both Neither
The man was fired.
The man faced difficulties.
The man was careful.
The man talked too much.
The man was funny.
The man was nosy.
The man was generous.
The man was honest.
The man was a nice person.
The man was very clever.
T: Exercise 1 asks us to choose the descriptions of Mr. Gray that have been mentioned in the listening materials. According to those descriptions, let’s guess what will they talk about Mr. Gray on the right two pictures of the book.
T: Picture 1 is an interview. The fat man is called Mr. Keller and the other one is Mr. hunter. What do they do?
Ss: an interviewer / reporter; boss/ headmaster/headquarter
T: Maybe! What will they talk about Mr. Gray?
Ss: …
T: later, we will see who is right! What about picture 2? They are Mr. Gray’s friends---Paul and Wendy.
Ss: …
Step 3 while- listening (part 1, part 2) 29 minutes
T: Well, we have done some guesswork about the listening material. Now, let’s listen to the tape for the first time. While listening, try to get the main idea and take some notes.
(after listening)
T: What do they talk about Mr. Gray in part 1/ picture 1?
Ss: Something negative/ he was fired …
T: What about part 2/ picture 2?
Ss: Something positive…
T: Very good! This listening material is a bit difficult. When we do listening exercises, we should learn to catch the information we want, that’s catch the key words. As for this exercise, we must pay attention to those words that describe Mr. Gray. Such as: careful, funny, honest. At the same time, try your best to write down the key words as quick as possible. In order to save time, you can use some simple symbols instead of those long sentences that you can recognize. (4 minutes)
Part 1 15 minutes
T: Ok, now, let’s listen to part 1 for the second time. While listening, finish exercise 1.
(After listening, check answers)
T: You have different opinions with some answers. Now, listen for the third time and find out the answers to those uncertain answers. This time, try your best to take some notes. Please write down what other things they have talked about Mr. Gray.
(After listening, give the right answers of part 1)
T: What have you written down?
Ss: …
T: ok, look at the slide. These are what the boss has talked about Mr. Gray.
Now, listen for the last time to see if you can get all the information on the slide.
(slide) too slow
talk too much; noisy
wild; not serious enough
nosy
rude; said bad things about people

part 2 10 minutes
Because teacher has taught some listening skills in part 1, and part 1 is really a good example. So teacher will speed up. And the steps are similar as part 1.
(slide) face difficulties but not give up
careful
funny; happy
kind
generous
honest
