3. Get Ss to realize the importance of learning English and of love of our own country. 4. Encourage Ss to think and talk in English through communicative tasks and provide Ss with chances of cooperation. Teaching Procedures: Step 1. Leading-in

Present Ss with the names of seven countries （the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand）, and ask Ss: “Is there any relationship between these 7 countries?” Allow Ss to show their own opinions. The answer is that English is the mother tongue to the people in these 7 countries.

1. Present Ss with the names of some other countries: India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. Then ask: “Is English spoken in these countries?” Allow Ss to show their own opinions. English is used as an official language in these countries, which is spoken on formal occasions like governing, schooling and news reporting.

2. Also in many countries, English is learned as a foreign language, like in China, Japan, France and so on. So although English doesn’t have the most speakers in the world, it is the most popular language all over the world. Today we’re going to read a lesson entitled English around the world.

Step 2. Reading 1. Skimming:

Get Ss to read through the passage and find the topic sentence of each paragraph.

4 / 14

Through learning this passage, we have got to know that English is becoming more and more popular all over the world now. So English learning seems important to everyone, especially us students of the new century. With China’s entry into WTO, English will play a more important part in business, in tourism, and even in people’s daily life. So it’s no doubt that everyone should have a good knowledge of English. And I hope every one in our class can make an effort to learn English well. But on the other hand, it doesn’t mean English is better than Chinese just as some students said just now. We must keep it in mind that one’s mother tongue is the most beautiful language in the world. The reason why we learn English is that we should thus be more capable of building up our country(It’s a good chance to lead the students to love our own country as well as to learn English well.)

Step 4. Words and expressions

1. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English .以英语作为母语的人，即使他们讲的英语不尽相同，也可以相互交流。 even if 即使；尽管
