培养四会能力,英语的听、说、读、写四项基本技能训练，包括了“输入”和“输出”两个环节。听和读是“输入”，说和写是“输出”。输入和输出是相辅相成的一个有机整体。输入是输出的前提和保证。输入应该是源源不断的、保质保量的，这样才能有足够的信息存储在大脑里，保证输出的通畅、不断流。每天主动输入和自觉输出应该成为一种习惯，这样让知识大量储存并流动起来，形成积累运用的良性循环，久而久之，英语的能力必然大大提高。,关于英语教学的“输入”与“输出”,素质教育与应试教育,教学目的,考查阅读理解的常见题型,How

nursesA are unprofessional.B have been undervalued.C do not take their work seriously.D cannot compete with their female counterparts.,6.Identifying the purpose for which the text was written,What should be the best title for this text?A How to get along with people in the officeB My first day at workC Why you shouldnt work with your relativesD The diary of a copywriter,7.Understanding text structure and organization,8.Understanding the meaning of specific words in context,How should we teach reading?What should we tell our students to do in order toenable them to read efficiently?,Do you know anything about reading strategies?,Strategies that can help students read more quickly and effectively include Previewing:reviewing titles,section headings,and photo captions to get a sense of the structure and content of a reading selection Predicting:using knowledge of the subject matter to make predictions about content and vocabulary and check comprehension;using knowledge of the text type and purpose to make predictions about discourse structure;using knowledge about the author to make predictions about writing style,vocabulary,and content Skimming and scanning:using a quick survey of the text to get the main idea,identify text structure,confirm or question predictions Guessing from context:using prior knowledge of the subject and the ideas in the text as clues to the meanings of unknown words,instead of stopping to look them up Paraphrasing:stopping at the end of a section to check comprehension by restating the information and ideas in the text,Reading is an essential part of language instruction at every level because it supports learning in multiple ways.Reading to learn the language:Reading material is language input.By giving students a variety of materials to read,instructors provide multiple opportunities for students to absorb vocabulary,grammar,sentence structure,and discourse structure as they occur in authentic contexts.Students thus gain a more complete picture of the ways in which the elements of the language work together to convey meaning.Reading for content information:Students purpose for reading in their native language is often to obtain information about a subject they are studying,and this purpose can be useful in the language learning classroom as well.Reading for content information in the language classroom gives students both authentic reading material and an authentic purpose for reading.,Reading for cultural knowledge and awareness:Reading everyday materials that are designed for native speakers can give students insight into the lifestyles and worldviews of the people whose language they are studying.When students have access to newspapers,magazines,and Web sites,they are exposed to culture in all its variety,and monolithic cultural stereotypes begin to break down.,When reading to learn,students need to follow four basic steps:Figure out the purpose for reading.Activate background knowledge of the topic in order to predict or anticipate content and identify appropriate reading strategies.2.Attend to the parts of the text that are relevant to the identified purpose and ignore the rest.This selectivity enables students to focus on specific items in the input and reduces the amount of information they have to hold in short-term memory.3.Select strategies that are appropriate to the reading task and use them flexibly and interactively.Students comprehension improves and their confidence increases when they use top-down and bottom-up skills simultaneously to construct meaning.4.Check comprehension while reading and when the reading task is completed.Monitoring comprehension helps students detect inconsistencies and comprehension failures,helping them learn to use alternate strategies.,top-down-a top-down way of understanding or explaining something starts with a general idea and adds details later,bottom-up-a bottom-up plan is one in which you decide on practical details before thinking about general principles,Octopus Paul predicts German win over ArgentinaBy ASSOCIATED PRESS（美联社）Published:Jun 29,2010 21:24 Updated:Jun 29,2010 21:24 BERLIN:Octopus oracle Paul on Tuesday hesitated but ultimately picked Germany to win again this time over Argentina in their quarterfinal match-up at the football World Cup.Paul,who rose to global fame after correctly predicting all four of Germanys games in this years tournament,indicated that Saturdays game will be a tough battle and that it may even end in a penalty shootout.,While English-born Paul made a snappy decision to pick Germany over his native country,this time it took the octopus about an hour to approach a water glass containing a mussel marked with a German flag,said Tanja Munzig,a spokeswoman for Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen.Paul ignored a similar glass with Argentinas flag,but he also did not reach inside the German glass with his tentacles to grab the seafood goodie.,“Paul kept staring at the German glass and only when we wanted to take out both glasses,he finally jumped inside the German one and gulped down the mussel”Munzig said.“All of his behavior indicates that Saturdays game will be very tough and it may even go into extra time and penalty shootout but in the end Germany will win.”Two-year-old Paul has proven to be a reliable oracle in the past in addition to predicting Germanys win over England,he also foretold the victories over Australia and Ghana and the countrys loss to Serbia.During the 2008 European Championship,he predicted 80 percent of all German games right,Munzig said.,Despite being a naturalized German,Munzig said,Paul is not a biased octopus and“he may even have some relatives in Argentina,who emigrated there many generations ago.”,Imagine that the article is what we teachers are going to deal with in class.What is our teaching process?,What are the questions wed like to ask on the text?,What are you

attitudes,Teaching Listening Strategies for Developing Listening SkillsLanguage learning depends on listening.Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication.Effective language instructors show students how they can adjust their listening behavior to deal with a variety of situations,types of input,and listening purposes.They help students develop a set of listening strategies and match appropriate strategies to each listening situation.,Listening Strategies Listening strategies are techniques or activities that contribute directly to the comprehension and recall of listening input.Listening strategies can be classified by how the listener processes the input.Top-down strategies are listener based;the listener taps into background knowledge of the topic,the situation or context,the type of text,and the language.This background knowledge activates a set of expectations that help the listener to interpret what is heard and anticipate what will come next.,Top-down strategies includelistening for the main idea predicting drawing inferences summarizing,Bottom-up strategies are text based;the listener relies on the language in the message,that is,the combination of sounds,words,and grammar that creates meaning.Bottom-up strategies include listening for specific details recognizing cognates recognizing word-order patterns Strategic listeners also use meta cognitive strategies to plan,monitor,and evaluate their listening.They plan by deciding which listening strategies will serve best in a particular situation.They monitor their comprehension and the effectiveness of the selected strategies.They evaluate by determining whether they have achieved their listening comprehension goals and whether the combination of listening strategies selected was an effective one.,Listening for Meaning To extract meaning from a listening text,students need to follow four basic steps:Figure out the purpose for listening.Activate background knowledge of the topic in order to predict or anticipate content and identify appropriate listening strategies.Attend to the parts of the listening input that are relevant to the identified purpose and ignore the rest.This selectivity enables students to focus on specific items in the input and reduces the amount of information they have to hold in short-term memory in order to recognize it.Select top-down and bottom-up strategies that are appropriate to the listening task and use them flexibly and interactively.Students comprehension improves and their confidence increases when they use top-down and bottom-up strategies simultaneously to construct meaning.Check comprehension while listening and when the listening task is over.Monitoring comprehension helps students detect inconsistencies and comprehension failures,directing them to use alternate strategies.,Have you got any questions to ask
