《大学英语》第一学期第三单元
第一部分单元整体设计及驱动环节
【课程名称】大学英语
【选用教材】新视野大学英语
【单元主题】Cause and effect
【教学时数】2学时
【学情介绍】
1.英语水平
授课对象为大一新生,学生经历了八至九年的英语学习,大多数同学具备一定的英语基础,但由于高考政策的变化和地区差异,同一个班级学生的英语水平存在较大的个体差异。在写作教学中,很多学生写作文时存在不会表达,或者逻辑思维混乱、条理不清、段落不明等现象。
2.学习态度
学生刚刚从高中紧张的学习状态中解放出来,进入大学后学习英语的目的尚不明确,多数同学有学好英语的愿望,具有较高的学习积极性,愿意配合教师完成课堂教学任务,但缺少明确的学习计划和长期坚持的毅力。
3.学习风格
受初、高中阶段传统授课模式的影响,多数学生为被动学习者,还未适应大学英语的授课模式,不能充分发挥自身的主动性,较少甚至没有经历过小组学习和合作学习模式。自主学习能力和创新思辨能力有待发展。
【教学目标】
1.单元总目标
学生在完成本单元的学习后,能够完成150字左右的以“peerpressure in college”为题的文章写作。
具体内容包括以下三个方面:
1)描述peer pressure这一现象;
2)分析说明peer pressure现象存在的原因;
3)作为大学生,提出应对peer pressure的可行性建议。

【整体设计思路】本单元设计为两个课时,课内时长100分钟,主要为促成环节和课上驱动环节。驱动环节分为课前驱动和课上驱动,课前驱动环节和评价环节安排在课前和课后混合式自主学习时段。课堂从课上驱动开始,简要陈述学生的产出困难。接下来从学生尝试产出中发现的问题出发,针对性地安排促成材料和促成活动,包括结构、语言、内容三个方面,然后引导学生进行独立产出。评价环节包括教师、学生、在线评阅系统三个主体。评价环节与驱动和促成环节并不各自割裂,而是相互融合。教师评价包括驱动问答点评、促成问答点评、教师随机指导和教师集中讲评;学生评价包括学生自评,小组互评,全班推优。在线评阅系统对文稿进行即使反馈。

第二部分 针对子目标(4)提出解决white pollution 的可行性建议的促成环节教学设计
1、 课上驱动环节(5min)
(此环节即为驱动环节,也融合教师评价环节,包含驱动问答点评及教师对随机抽取的学生初稿的点评。)
1)教师分析学生提交的产出任务第一稿,引导学生发现问题。反馈其中存在的问题。
2)汇总分析学生自己反馈存在的问题。
此环节教师评价标准:
2、 因果关系是否符合逻辑?
3、 词语运用是否恰当?
4、 段落结构是否合理?
5、 段落是否衔接连贯?
6、 促成环节(30min)
(此环节融合教师促成评价,将促成与评价相结合。)
任务一:知己知彼。通过分析例文段落大意和结构了解分析原因和影响的方法。
Task 1 Read the following two paragraphs and analyze the main ideas and structures.

These tell readers why something happened. For example, smoking causes lung cancer. (Smoking is one of the causes of lung cancer.) |
Effects |
These are the results of something. For example, twelve thousand smokers die from lung cancer every year. (Lung cancer is one of the effects of smoking.) |
Paragraph A:(Paragraph 10 of Text A)
Other colleges arestraining tostand out from their peers. The race to attract students with the most modern networks and the hottest systems has reached fever pitch. Some business majors are receivingfree portable computers. In an always-connected mode, they can get information anytime and anywhere they need. One university is even giving its freshmen new smartphones to enrich the student experience andprepare them for success ina rapidly changing world.
Paragraph B:
It is not uncommon to see teenagers smoking today. Some of them smoke because of peer pressure. When they see some of their friends smoking, theyfeel the pressure to try it out in order to “fit in” with the crowd. Some other teenagers smoke because they want toimitate adultsorappear to be mature. Teenagers like to imitate their favorite stars and adults around them. So, parents who smoke mayset a bad example for their children. In conclusion, the causes of teenager smoking canbe attributed to peer pressure and theirintention to look like adults.
