At last, with the aid of the varied resources, such as textbook, workbook, courseware, the Internet, this unit is to be task-based and unfolded section by section as the following:1 In Welcome to the unit, students are presented five pictures, which show what university students will do when they are studying a certain course. Students are expected to discuss the questions below and talk about which course they would like to study, whether everyone should go to university and what they think university life is like. Word power is combined in this period. In this section, words and phrases about university courses, different types and positions of faculty members, and different levels of university degrees are presented to the students.2 In the second period, the Reading text is an article in a school newsletter, which is written by a former student of the school about studying at a university in Canada. The topic mainly focuses on what preparations he made for studying abroad and what university life there is like. In the third period, language points and important sentence structures from the article will be discussed and analyzed. 3 In Grammar and usage, students will learn about allusions and how an allusion is used by referring to a person, an event, a place, a character from literature or a thing like a work of art to create an association with something else. Examples are given in an exercise for the students to practise. 4 In the Task section, which requires students to write a report about course choices, students will practise the language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing through some activities in class, such as taking notes while listening to two conversations, checking the notes after reading an article, and discussing options and possibilities. And in the next period, students are required to write a report about course choice.5 In Project 1&2, students will read a brochure about a university in China in the first period. Then they will be guided to write a guide to a university either at home or abroad after doing some research to find out some information about it. A week later, the works of the students will be displayed and the top five will be chosen and presented by the students themselves in another period.6 In Exploration, which is created for a combination of the New English Curriculum and the New Gaokao of 2010, is mainly focused on the cultivation of Ss innovation ability of applicable-type talents, using the Internet to surf out the necessary information and dealing with the three types of exercises in Gaokaofilling in the blanks and writing out the right order according to the listening material; completing the form based on a passage,; answering the questions after surfing the Internet.7 The period of Self-assessment is a totally student-centered time.

In terms of language and knowledge, the students have learned a lot about university life home and abroad, familiarized themselves with university life and courses, had some achievements in understanding and using allusions, and have experienced working on a listening and writing task alone and carrying out a project on a team. In the aspect of attitudes toward learning, learning strategies, and cultural awareness, students have also gained some knowledge. Most of them actively participated in the process of discussing and learned how to cooperate with each other properly, showing extraordinary interest in the project. They tried to come up with unique ideas, and really worked on it. They tried every possible means to get all the information they need, such as surfing the Internet, finding some reference books in the library or even getting some first-hand materials from the foreign teachers and their pen pals abroad. Much to our surprise, every student buried themselves in the project work, forming a splendid and magnificent picture of their future university life. On the whole, the teaching plans have worked well and smoothly, mostly due to the sufficient need analyses. However, very few students couldnt express themselves freely and fluently due to their shyness and lack of self-confidence. As for this kind of students, we need to show more concern for them and encourage them to express themselves confidently.Yours Period 1 Welcome to the unit& Word power 课件链接，请点击。Teaching aims 1 Let Ss get information about university courses.2 Enable Ss to know the different titles and positions at a university in China.3 Encourage Ss to learn about different university degrees.Keys & puzzles1 Categories of university courses.2 The titles and positions at a university.Teaching approaches1 Task-based Teaching Approach2 Situational Teaching Approach Teaching aids1 Multi-mediaTeaching proceduresIn generalIt is important that every student in Senior Grade 3 carefully plans for his/her further education and study at university.

The reason of the teachers combining welcome to the unit with word power is that the Ss could have more to talk when they are required to present their ideas on choosing a certain course in university. After all, the courses are not the same as what they had in high school. Ss did very good job in talking about the university life they are going to face, including the courses they might choos
