教案课程名称新视野商务英语视听说(第四版)(上) 课时班级专业教师系部教研室教材《新视野商务英语视听说(第四版)(上)》1Unit 6 Company PresentationsLearning Objectives（教学目标）2Business Profile（内容概览）What Makes an Effective PresentationA presentation is a prepared talk given by a speaker to one or more listeners. To be effective, the speaker’s message must pass to the listeners—it must be heard and correctly understood. In general, two-way communication is more effective than one-way communication; so, encourage the audience to participate—by asking questions or making comments. In any case, remember that the talk is given for their benefits—not for the speaker’s.So, what are the elements of an effective presentation?●effective organisation of information● effective delivery of information● effective use of language● never forgetting your audience● allowing participation through questions or commentsThe following points may help you identify the skills and techniques you need. Organisation of information● Transparency of structure (have a clear beginning, middle and end)● Organisation of content (clearly identify the main points and supporting points)● Level of information (start in the audience’s area of interest)Delivery of information● Image (decide whether to appear formal or informal, relaxed or high-powered?)● Audience features (know their interests?)● Nonlinguistic techniques (use suitable body language and eye contact)● Linguistic techniques (pay attention to voice audibility and clarity, variation in pace and pitch, pauses, questions and humour)● Technical support (use of visual aids, e.g. slides, flip chart, transparencies and PPTs)Use of language● Vocabulary (choose the right word for spoken rather than written language)● Grammar (assemble the sentences in correct language forms)● Pronunciation (stress words correctly)● Fluency (variation in sentence structure and length)● Speed (link your ideas, and don’t talk too quickly)A brief introduction is always given at the very beginning of the presentation. It should include at least four pieces of information:● What you’re going to talk about;● How long you’ll take;● What your main parts or sections will be;● Whether you’d welcome questions during your talk, or only at the end.This could take as little as 45 seconds, but it will give you time to establish contact with the audience. Don’t only try to impress them by your organisation and obvious preparation. Go out of your way to make some comments on the present situation (e.g. excellent lunch,3weather—anything which shows awareness of the world outside your subject). Beware of jokes, and make as much eye contact as possible. If necessary, give a few facts about yourself and the purpose or background of your talk.Language Expansion（语言扩充）Talking about company profileIntroducing your presentation● I’m going to talk about/explain/inform you about the launch of the new product.● The subject/focus of my talk/presentation is the history of our company.● This should last 30 minutes.● There are three parts in my presentation. They are Company History, Main Markets and People.● If you have any questions, please feel free to interrupt.Introducing your company● Our company provides/manufactures home appliances.● We’re based/headquartered in London.● We’re the general agent for Canon Inc.● We employ more than 60,000 people.● We have more than 150 clients/offices all over the world.● Our products are for both domestic and foreign markets.● Our annual income/revenue is 11 million US dollars.● We came to China in 1995.● Currently, our company is developing very quickly.● Sales have increased/dropped slightly since July.● Production has increased/dropped by 21%.● Profits have gone up by 40%.4Teaching Tips（教学步骤）Pre-viewing● Divide the class into groups of four, with one note-taker in each group.● Ask Ss to exchange ideas within group and ask each note-taker to note down the ideas of his/her group members.● Invite two or three note-takers to report the results of their group discussion.● List the ideas Ss come up with on the board.● See if other groups have something to add.Post-viewing● Go through the structure of the introduction part of the presentation with the class.● Divide the class into groups of three. Ask each group to choose a situation.● Tell Ss to discuss and put together the “four pieces” of the introduction part of a presentation:What about?How long?Main parts or sections Q & A? When?● Get Ss to take turns to give an introduction to their group members.● Encourage Ss to use expressions in Language Focus. Arouse awareness of language formality.● Ask a few students to give their introduction to the whole class.● Invite other Ss to note what they like or dislike about each introduction.● Give comments and suggestions for improvement.Pre-viewing● Divide Ss into group of three or four. Ask them to:☐rank the severity;☐compare their ranking with other group members;☐give explanations;☐change ranking if convinced.● Ask Ss to use different expressions of agreement and disagreement.● Make sure group members share time, and encourage the silent ones to jump in more often.● Ask one student to give his/her ranking before and after discussion. Explain the changes if there are any.● Encourage Ss to think of other factors that lead to failed presentations.5Post-viewingTask 1● Divide the class into groups of three.● Ask Ss to reorganise Joan Copper’s presentation in a logical and clear framework with the help of the flow chart.● Ask Ss to divide the presentation into three parts, i.e., beginning, body, conclusion, each group member dealing with one part.● Choose two or three groups to give complete presentations.● Invite other groups to give comments and suggestions for improvement.Task 2● Give Ss a few minutes to read the cards and get familiar with the given information.● Ss take turns to give the presentation and listeners give reminder when needed.● Circulate and monitor.● Emphasise the importance of delivery and body language.● Choose a few Ss to give the presentation in class.● Have a comment session where the class compares the performance.6Text Bank（扩展阅读）McDonald’s CorporationMcDonald’s is the leading global food service retailer with more than 30,000 local restaurants serving nearly 50 million people in more than 119 countries each day. It is one of the world’s most well-known and valuable brands and holds a leading share in the globally branded fast food segment of the informal restaurant market in virtually every country in which they do business. McDonald’s serves the world some of its favourite foods—world-famous French Fries, Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Chicken McNuggets and Egg McMuffin.The first McDonald’s restaurant opened in Des Plaines, Illinois by McDonald’s Corporation founder, Ray Kroc, on April 15th, 1955. First day’s revenues—$366.12! In 1965, McDonald’s went public with the company’s first offering on the stock exchange. A hundred shares of stock costing $2,250 dollars that day would have multiplied into 74,360 shares today, worth over $1.8 million on December 31st, 2003, and almost $2.4 million on December 31st, 2004. In 1985 McDonald’s was added to the 30-company Dow Jones Industrial Average.McDonald’s has always been a franchising company and has relied on its franchisees to play a major role in its success. McDonald’s continually seeks qualified individuals to become franchisees, and has added approximately 100 new franchisees to the system each year for many years. There are an increasing number of restaurant opportunities available in small towns and in areas representative of a diverse customer base. An individual must have a minimum of $175,000 of non-borrowed personal assets to qualify financially.Now McDonald’s is popping up in more non-traditional locations like Amoco and Chevron stations, with full menu offerings and dining room seating, just like you’ll find in any traditional McDonald’s.Discussion:1. Have you ever eaten in McDonald’s restaurants? Do you like its food and service?2. Do you think McDonald’s needs to localise to achieve greater success in China?3. Can you suggest an ideal place in your city for a new McDonald’s restaurant? Why?7补充教学资源Video 1Making a startHello, and welcome to Standard Electronics. I’m Geoff Bolton, the Factory Manager in charge of the plant you’ll be seeing today. I know you have come a long way today, so we aim to make your tour both interesting and worthwhile. Before we start the tour, I’d like to give you a brief presentation about the company. It will last about 15 minutes and I’ll be using the flip chart. Since there’s quite a lot to cover, I’d be grateful if you’d hold any questions until the end of my talk.As you can see, I’ve divided up my presentation into three main parts. First of all, we’ll run briefly through the history of the company. Secondly, I’ll tell you something about our main markets—this is important in understanding the production process. And finally, I’ll come to the people—our most important asset.OK! Let’s start with the history. Standard Electronics started out as a private limited company when it was first established in 1985.Video 2What is the point?I’m sorry I’m a bit late... um... I’m not exactly sure how to start this... um... I suppose I should start by telling you something about the brewery... It’s old of course, very old, and... it was founded in 17... 1778. Yes, I think that’s right. So it’s a very old brewery and... um... we use traditional production methods and our products are very, very old... um... very traditional. Um... oh, we also do European type beer and, well, sales have increased a lot over the last year.Of course, we were a family firm. Well, in fact, we still are a family firm. As you know the present owner is Ralph Barrald... um... we continue to run as a family firm and this is important to the corporate image. Well, in fact, this is why we’re here today to discuss the corporate image and decide if we... well, if it needs to change. We also have horses... You may have seen them delivering the beer to the local pubs? Yes?Yes, yes... um... production has actually dropped a little over the last few years, although profits have actually gone up and that’s something we need to discuss... I mean can we continue as a small, independent brewery?8Anyway, that’s about it. So... um... that’s the main question today. So I don’t know whether that helps at all, but it’s all I can think of really, so I, I’ll leave... I’ll leave... I think that’s that, so I’ll leave it there, OK? Right?9。

But it does not matter. What matters is whether you can summon up(鼓起)allyour courage again and again to face the hardships standing in the way of success.2 Luck, talent, good relationships with your colleagues, etc.3 When I have realized that I am pursuing something that is hard to achieve, I would try to stick to the goal.

By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say \excuses to keep options openStudents should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash. They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuringfuture cash earnings. What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computer in the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegate tasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attention in a more concentrated fashion. They will have more with fewer, carefully chosen options.Surprising but very strategic and visionary. ? Reflection of his unique foresight and wisdom. ? Knowledgeable about winning battles. ?

3、亚马孙河流域的文明——一段被忘却已久的历史重见光明
亚马孙热带雨林是地球上现存最有意义、大部分保存完好的生态系统之一。 它基本上是无人涉足的自然环境。在这里，人类的存在退居第二位。 然而，大片大片的热带雨林有人类居住并被人类的双手塑造已经有成千上万年了。
即使是在娱乐中，我们也希望有点难度。 我们想要难度，因为没有难度就没有了游戏乐趣；游戏要靠制造难度来生成乐趣。 游戏的规则是人为地增加难度。 如果可以自行改变棋赛规则，赢一盘棋将会容易得多。然而，下棋赢棋的乐趣是在规则下赢棋。 如果我们自己就能够造钱，那么即使造出一座金山也了然无趣。 没有难度，就没有乐趣。
由于没有专为不会讲英语的孩子开设的课程，我在低智商孩子班读了几年小学后，升入了初中。 第一周的课上，老师通知我们要为周五的"俱乐部活动时间"选择一个自己喜欢的活动项目。 我决定随班里最漂亮的女孩去，她带着我进了一道门，门上标着"报刊俱乐部"。 在那里，我们见到了言辞尖刻、一本正经的英语教师玛丽莲·伯德。 "我们准备出一份报纸，"她用尺子敲着桌子，高声地说，"所以，如果你们不想出力的话，我建议你们现在就到大厅那边去参加戏剧俱乐部的排练，因为在这里你们要玩命地干！"
他是一个幸福的人吗？也许他的幸福不过是又一种幻觉罢了。 但是，谁能剥夺他的幻觉呢？谁又敢说这种幸福比靠分期付款购买的幸福更虚假呢？

当然，我丝毫没有贬低经商的意思；我的意思只是说经商不适合我。 我是为了钱才去经商的，而且，除了因为能够帮助家庭而得到的满足感之外，钱 就是我经商所得到的一切。

unit3unit4Standing in the door of Mr. Murphy's office, I could see he was focused on something he was reading. He had both elbows (肘) on his desk , his head was resting on one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth .I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student participation was encouraged, but all the same, I was afraid to approach. Then, as I turned to leave, my foot banged against the bottom of the door, startling me and causing the professor to look up. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical body remained the same . He invited me in without gesture, just a "come in. What is it that you need ? " there was little if any warmth or tone in his voice : it wasn't exactly encouragement. Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effort to relax and persuaded myself to smile and enter the room. “Mr. Murphy,” the pitch of my voice rose as I began my introduction , “sorry to interrupt. My name is Peter. I am in your second - period English class”“Peter , did you say it was ?” he replied. H is reaction disappointed me. It was apparent that I had not made much of an impression with the presentation I made in class last week. He said my name as if he would not have remembered it without my having stated it for him first -- as though he were no more impressed than if he had encountered a beggar on the street He continued , " Do you have something you want to discuss with me, or do you just stop by to visit?”In fact, I had stopped by to visit, but I was no longer feeling up to it and was looking for a fast exit. It seemed that the invitation he had extended in class, "Drop by my office for a t anytime . My door is always open was just a (n) empty gesture probably required by the school. I reached inside my bag and pulled out my English language textbook.

将课堂思政融入大学英语教学的实践探索——以《新视野大学英语》第二册Unit 6为例
882022年01期总第597期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS将课堂思政融入大学英语教学的实践探索姜 月摘 要：大学英语课程兼具工具性和人文性。
大学英语教师要将课程思政融入大学英语教学的各个环节，以解决培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人这一教育的根本问题。
本文先分析大学英语课程思政面临的问题，再以《新视野大学英语》第二册Unit 6“Door closer, are you?”阅读文本为例，探究将课程思政融入大学英语教学的可行性实践方式。
关键词：大学英语；课程思政；教学设计；新视野大学英语作者简介：姜月（1988-），女，汉族，湖北武汉人，武昌首义学院，硕士，研究方向：大学英语教学、大学英语课程思政研究。
“全面推进课程思政建设，就是要寓价值观引导于知识传授和能力培养之中，帮助学生塑造正确的世界观、人生观、价值观，这是人才培养的应有之义，更是必备内容”。
随着课程思政价值的日益体现，每一门课程都要在思政教育方面“守好一段渠，种好责任田”。
大学英语是大学外语教育的主要内容，是大多数非英语专业学生在本科教育阶段必修的公共基础课程，在高校人才培养、思政教育体系中占据重要地位。
《大学英语教学指南(2020版)》中强调：“大学英语教学应主动融入学校课程思政教学体系，使之在高等学校落实立德树人根本任务中发挥重要作用。
”面对大学英语课程思政中比较普遍的盲目堆砌思政内容、教师思政水平低等问题，本文拟以《新视野大学英语》第二册Unit 6“Door closer, are you?”阅读文本为例，从教学目标、教学内容、教学方法、教学活动、教学评价、教学反思等各个教学环节入手，尝试将思政元素融入大学英语教学“教学评”的各个部分。
一、大学英语课程思政面临的问题（一）盲目堆砌思政内容盲目堆砌思政内容是大学英语课程思政的一个突出问题。
在大学英语课程思政教育中，有的教师以简单粗暴的方式在课程教学中添加思政内容未寻求思政元素和教学内容的深度融合。
新视野大学英语读写教程(第三版)第二册课文原文及翻译
新视野大学英语第二册读写教程课文翻译Unit 1 Text A An impressive Engli lsesson标题: 一堂难忘的英语课1. 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2. 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3.她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4. 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5. 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're 之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6. 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。
实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。
因此，批评学生不合乎清理。
7. 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架一一准确的语法和恰当的词汇一一充分地传授给学生。

新视野大学英语4Unit 6课文翻译
新视野大学英语4Unit 6课文翻译新视野4Unit 6课文主题是Criminal Acts，也就是犯罪行为。
下面是的课文翻译，欢送阅读!商科学生有时对课程里包含商业道德课略感吃惊。
他们通常没意识到在很多国家，形形色色的贿赂行为正日益增多。
在某些国家，这已成为人们几百年来的一种生活方式。
假定在一场与政府官员的谈判中，贸易部长向你明确表示如能给他一大笔贿赂，那么你的商品拿到进口许可证就会容易得多，还可能防止他所说的“程序上的延误”。
现在的问题是：你是被迫掏钱呢，还是坚持原那么?高尚的道德标准说起来容易，但实际上人们在这种情况下终究会怎么做呢?早些时候，一家英国汽车制造商被指控利用一笔基金贿赂，并进展其他一些可疑运作，如给代理商和客户高额回扣、提供额外折扣、向一些在瑞士银行开的匿名账户汇款等。
这家汽车公司否认了这些指控，后来指控也被撤销了。
然而，当时英国汽车业里就有人准备私下里说：“瞧，我们这一行竞争剧烈，每年我们汽车的海外销售额超过10亿英镑。
如果花几百万英镑能让一些客户快乐，谁会有损失呢?我们不这样干，别人也会这样干的。
”很容易产生这样的印象：贿赂以及其他可疑开支正日渐增多。
确实，这似乎已成为商界的一个事实。
仅举一例：美国第三大汽车制造企业克莱斯勒汽车公司透露，它在1971至1976年间共发生了250万美元的可疑开支。
这一事实的披露，使克莱斯勒与其他300多家美国公司一样，向美国证券交易委员会成认自己近年曾有过某种形式的支出，像贿赂、额外打折等。
为方便讨论起见，我们可将这些支出分为三大类。
第一大类是那些为政治目的或为获得大宗合同所付出的大笔款项。
比方，有一家美国企业曾因可能违反美国商业法规而受调查，当时它捐出一大笔款项支持一位总统候选人。
后来发现，这家公司也打算资助美国推翻智利政府的秘密行动。
这一大类也包括为得到武器销售或重大的石油、建筑等工程的合同而向权势家族及其身边的参谋所付出的大笔款项。
在一桩涉及对伊朗武器销售的案子中，一位证人声称一家英国公司曾付给某“洽谈人”100万英镑。

They were all left-handed, along withother famous people including Pablo Picasso, Prince William,and Marilyn Monroe. In fact, an estimated 11 percent ofAmericans and Europeans are left-handed.Most people around the world are right-handed. This factalso seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977,scientists studied works of art made at various times in history starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common.Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various 1 and 2 characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, 3 , and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain 4 , including professional baseball and tennis players, 5 , lawyers, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others haven’t been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness form their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer 6 brain 7during birth, which makes them left-handed. However, if this theory were true, it wouldn’t explain why the percentage of left-handed people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much form society to society.Whatever the reasons behind it, people’s 8 toward left-handed have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people(10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered 9 . For most people today either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now that specialize in selling products 10 for left-handed people, such as left-handed scissors, can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera.In 1976, Left-Handers International, group of left-handed people in Topeka, Kansas, in the United States, decided to start an annual event in order to clear up misunderstandings about left-handedness. They decided that August 13th is International Left-Handers Day, and to this day groups of left-handed people around the world celebrate their own special day.Circle the letter of the best answer.1.
