Teaching procedures and ways教学过程与方式

Step I Warming up and lead-in (1a: P1)
Greet students and make a self-introduction.
T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls! It’s very nice to meet you here. I’m Zhang Lan. You can call me Miss Zhang, OK? Well, may I know your names?
S1: My name is Song Tao. Nice to know you, Miss Zhang.
S2: I’m Han Ting. Nice to meet you.
S3: And I’m Liu Heng. Glad to meet you.
…
In this procedure, students will learn how to introduce oneself and ask for names.
T: Hello! Who can tell me your name in English?
S: I can.
T: Then what’s your name?
S: My name is….
T: OK. You can say I am ….too. (Pointing to a girl) Then, what’s your name?
S: My name is…
T: (Pointing to a boy) What’s your name?
S: I am….
T: So in order to introduce yourself, you can use: My name is….or I am…. Do you understand?
S: Yes.
After doing this, ask two or three pairs of students to ask each other’s names in English. Make sure they can use My name is…. and I am ….
Give every student a chance to introduce himself or herself.

Step II Listening (1b, 2a, 2b: P1—P2 )
First tell students: When the people in western countries meet for the first time, they say Hello! or Nice to meet you. Then you can ask the next question: When one says Nice to meet you to you, what should you say to him? Ask students to answer in either English or Chinese. Then you can go on to explain: When people say Nice to meet you to you, you can say: Nice to meet you, too. or Me, too. Before this, ask some students to greet each other and ask their names.
S1: Hello!
S2: Hello!
S1: What’s your name?
S2: My name is….
S1: Nice to meet you.
S2: Nice to meet you, too.
Then ask students to listen to the recording.
T: Next we’ll listen to a recording in 1b. In the recording, two people are talking about their names. Listen and number the conversations.
Play the recording. Then check the answers.
After this, ask students to repeat after the recording.
T: Now we’ll listen to a recording in 2a. In the recording, two people are also talking about their names. Listen and number the pictures.
Play the recording. Then check the answers.
T: At last we’ll listen to a recording in 2b. In the recording, you’ll hear some names, circle the names you hear.
Play the recording. Then check the answers.

Step IV Pairwork (1c, 2c: P1—P2)
Ask students to practice the conversation and make their own conversation.
A sample conversation:
S1: Hello!
S2: Hello!
S1: What’s your name?
S2: My name is….
S1: Nice to meet you.
S2: Me, too.
Ask students to read the sentences in the grammar box. Tell students to pay attention to the
answers to what questions. Then ask them to notice the contractions in the third column of the
box.
T: Can we answer “yes” or “no” to what questions?
S: No.
T: Look at the last column of the box. Cross the letters that is missing in the contractions. In spoken English, we often use these contractions. But we can’t say “Yes, I’m.” when answering questions like “Are you …?”.
Then ask students to say the pairs of full forms and contractions.
At last show the following to students and ask them to fill in the blanks.
Fill in the following blanks with his and her.

What’s _________ name? _________ name is __________.


What’s _________ name? _________ name is __________.

Check the answers.
T: We can see from the above that, when we say something about a boy or a man, we use “his” and when we say something about a girl or a woman, we use “her”. Today we’ll go on learning how to greet and introduce people.

Some cards.
Teaching procedures and ways教学过程与方式

Step I Warming up and lead-in
Greet your students as usual. Check the homework. Then ask some students What’s your name? And write their names on the blackboard. Then, you can ask them, what are the first names and what are the last names? After this, show them some cards with some first names they have learned on them. For example:
Jenny Gina Alan Tony
And then, show them some cards with some last names (family names) on them. For example:
Green Miller Smith Brown
After that, ask students to combine the first names and the last names together to make them into full names. For example:
Jenny Green, Gina Miller, Alan Smith, Tony Brown
At last, ask students to observe the Chinese names and the English names, try to find the difference between them.
They may say: Chinese people put their last names before the first names, but people in western countries put their first names before last names.
Then ask different students to find the first and last names. This can help them to understand the difference between the two kinds of names. Then ask the students, “Do you want to have an English name?” The students may say “yes”. If so, you can ask some students to name him or her again with English names. That may be fun! Your Chinese students have English names now.
What about the teacher? I think you may have an English name, too. You can tell students your English names. That’ll bring your class more fun.

Step II Learning how to read and write names (3a, 3b: P3)
In this procedure, students will learn how to read and write names.
T: Hello! Who can write your names on the blackboard?
S: I can.
T: What is your name, please?
S: My name is….
T: Can you write it on the blackboard and read it?
S: OK. Let me try. Zhang Hong. (Read it)
T: All right. Who can give me your English name?
S: I can. Mary Brown. (Read it)
T: Wonderful! And who can tell us the difference between the Chinese names and the English names?
S: Let me try. In western countries, people put first names before last names, and in our country, we put the last names before first names. That’s all.
T: You’re right. Thank you.
After doing this, ask two or three pairs of students to ask each other’s names in English and ask them to write the names down.

Step III Groupwork (4: P3)
First, divide the students into several groups; each group has three or four students. And they should ask each other questions like this:
S1: Hello!
S2: Hello!
S1: What’s your name?
S2: My name is …
S1: Do you have an English name?
S2: Yes, I do.
S1: Can you tell us?
S2: My English name is …
S1: (Points at S3) What’s her (his) name, please?
S2: Her (His) name is ….
S1: Does she (he) have an English name?
S2: Yes, she (he) does. And her (his) English name is….
Each group should practice this several times and then the students may understand the difference between Chinese names and English names.
