高英二第一课教案
长沙学院教案2345678910Exercise VII P48Coherence in WritingCoherence is to make every paragraph, every sentence, and every phrase contribute to the meaning of the whole piece. Coherence in writing is much more difficult to sustain than coherent speech simply because writers have no nonverbal clues to inform them if their message is clear or not. Therefore, writers must make their patterns of coherence much more explicit and much more carefully planned. Coherence itself is the product of two factors —paragraph unity and sentence cohesion.1.Paragraph UnityTo achieve paragraph unity, a writer must ensure two things only. First, the paragraph must have a single generalization that serves as the focus of attention, that is, a topic sentence. Secondly, a writer must control the content of every other sentence in the paragraph's body such that (a) it contains more specific information than the topic sentence and (b) it maintains the same focus of attention as the topic sentence.This generalization about paragraph structure holds true for the essay in particular. The two major exceptions to this formula for paragraph unity are found in fiction (where paragraph boundaries serve other functions, such as indicating when a new speaker is talking in a story) and in journalism (where paragraphs are especially short to promote 'visual' ease by creating white space).2.Sentence CohesionTo achieve cohesion, the link of one sentence to the next, consider the following techniques:1.Repetition. In sentence B (the second of any two sentences), repeat aword from sentence A.2.Synonymy. If direct repetition is too obvious, use a synonym of theword you wish to repeat. This strategy is call 'elegant variation.'ing the 'opposite' word, an antonym, can also createsentence cohesion, since in language antonyms actually share more elements of meaning than you might imagine.e a pronoun, pro-verb, or another pro-form to makeexplicit reference back to a form mentioned earlier.5.Collocation. Use a commonly paired or expected or highly probableword to connect one sentence to another.e overt markers of sequence to highlight theconnection between ideas. This system has many advantages: (a) it can link ideas that are otherwise completely unconnected, (b) it looks formal and distinctive, and (c) it promotes a second method of sentence cohesion, discussed in (7) below.7.Parallelism. Repeat a sentence structure. This technique is the oldest,most overlooked, but probably the most elegant method of creating cohesion.e a conjunction or conjunctive adverb to linksentences with particular logical relationships.a.Identity. Indicates sameness.that is, that is to say, in other words, ...b.Opposition. Indicates a contrast.but, yet, however, nevertheless, still, though, although, whereas, in contrast, rather, ...c.Addition. Indicates continuation.and, too, also, furthermore, moreover, in addition, besides, in thesame way, again, another, similarly, a similar, the same, ...d.Cause and effect.therefore, so, consequently, as a consequence, thus, as a result,hence, it follows that, because, since, for, ...e.Indefinites. Indicates a logical connection of an unspecified type.in fact, indeed, now, ...f.Concession. Indicates a willingness to consider the other side.admittedly, I admit, true, I grant, of course, naturally, some believe, some people believe, it has been claimed that, once it was believed, there are those who would say, ...g.Exemplification. Indicates a shift from a more general or abstractidea to a more specific or concrete idea.for example, for instance, after all, an illustration of, even, indeed, in fact, it is true, of course, specifically, to be specific, that is, toillustrate, truly, ...1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among humanbeings.2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our ideas or point31of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at will not argue towin or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are notintimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5. The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6. These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields; but when sit down at the table to eat, we called their meat beef.7. The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8. The English language received proper recognition and was used by the king once more.9. The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disparagingly/disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10. There is still a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.下层人民对文化上的专制仍是极为反感的11. There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog”is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog”as being the animal itself.3212. Even the most …people don’t use the standard, formal English all the time in their conversation33。

Section 3: Detailed Reading
Where outward circumstances are not definitely unfortunate, a man should be able to achieve happiness, provided that his passions and interests are directed outward, not inward. It should be our endeavor therefore, both in education and in attempts to adjust ourselves to the world, to aim at avoiding self-centered passions and at acquiring those affections and those interests which will prevent our thoughts from dwelling perpetually upon ourselves.

高级英语第二册第一课教案-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIANTeaching Plan for Unit 1I. Warming-up conversation1. What's the topic of your conversation after you came back from home to thecampus yesterday?(Teacher show them some phrases and expressions about New Year, and let them have a formal conversation in standard English.)2. What kind of conversation do you prefer, the casual free talk in the dormitory orthe conversation held in class Why3.Analysis of the TitlePub is usually a place for low class people to get together. They meet friends there or go there to have a drink or just to relax. And what about the language How is it related to language To King’s language which belongs to the upper class or the well-educated people. How could these two totally unrelated things put togetherII.Background Information of the Text and the AuthorThis topic can be introduced in several ways:1.Chinese people’s oral English are commonly commented by foreigners orforeign teachers as “bookish” English;2.by telling a joke about the first Chinese delegation to visit soviet union afterChina’s opening its door to the outside world. The soviet union asked anold scholar as an interpreter and his Chinese is like the ancient classicChinese.3.just to raise some question like the different expressions, such as standardEnglish, social dialect, regional dialect, or writers of local colorism, such asMark Twain or Jia Pinwa in China.4.or the topic might be introduced by mentioning the “plain English movement”in academic writing.III.Detailed Study of the textParagraph 1-4 Introductory partThe students should pay special attention in this part to how the topic is ushered in.1.the definition of conversation: how human is different from the animal.Conversation is human-specific. [remember that in the first para animal isconcerned and in the last para this is echoed back.]2.the charm of conversation: no one knows where it starts and where it ends. Inthis para, one sentence is special.“… as it meanders or leaps and spark les or just glows”how could we draw a tree diagram to illustrate its syntactic structure3.the introducing of pub talk in Britain. The characteristics of pub talk – notdeeply involved in other people’s lives.sparkle verb [I]1 to shine brightly with a lot of small points of light:The snow/sea sparkled in the sunlight.2 If a person or performance sparkles, they are energetic, interesting and exciting:Alice is shy and quiet at parties, but her sister really sparkles!4.in a pub talk, “the king’s English” became a topic. That is a very natural way tointroduce the topic.In a way, this reminds us of the ways to introduce a topic mentioned by Aristotle. Through an anecdote. And in the first two paragraphs, the topic is introduced in a top-down fashion.desultory adjective FORMAL without a clear plan or purpose and showing little effort or interest:She made a desultory attempt at conversation.He wandered around, clearing up in a desultory way.desultorily adverb FORMALalchemy noun [U]1 a type of chemistry, especially from about 1100 to 1500, which dealt with trying to find a way to change ordinary metals into gold and with trying to find a medicine which would cure any disease2 a process that is so effective that it seems like magic:She manages, by some extraordinary alchemy, to turn the most ordinary of ingredients into the most delicious of dishes.tart (BEHAVIOUR) adjective (especially of a way of speaking) quick or sharp and unpleasant:a tart remark/comment/replyParagraph 5-8 very detailed and concrete description of theinstance of a pub conversation –the king’s English case. It is presented in such a way to show or to illustrate the characteristics of charms of pub talk – it is free talk and aimless. The talk goes from the British pub to Australia, then to the Saxon churls and theNorman conquerors.It serves as an example to illustrate the point. It is much better than logically reasoning and debating. I will say that the author employs the case study method here.In this part, one pattern in ending paras is emerging.1.They are ready to let it go. In para2.2.it could still go ignorantly on. In para 6.3.The conversation was on wings. In para 8.4.we are still the heirs to it. In para 115.… and it rings true. In para 12churl: a medieval peasant; a rude ill-bred person.snob noun [C] MAINLY DISAPPROVING a person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like:He's a frightful snob - if you haven't been to the right school he probably won't even speak to you.I'm afraid I'm a bit of a wine snob/a snob where wine is concerned.snobbish like a snob:My brother is very snobbish about cars.snobbery noun [U] (ALSO snobbishness) DISAPPROVING behaviour and opinions that are typical of a snob:She accused me of snobbery because I sent my sons to a private school.Paragraph 9 A typical example to illustrate what is “king’s English”.The students will be asked to translate this paragraph as a home assignment.It is a real challenge to translate this para in that there are so many synonyms in English but less synonyms in Chinese. This is especially true for the colloquial expressions.Paragraph 10-14 the problem of bilingualism is a manifestation of the social struggles between the dominant upper class and the exploited lower class. Then, as is typical in conversation, the topic moves to the bilingual education situation in America today.The topic then moves to the etymology of the “king’s English” itself. In other words, it is approached from a linguistic perspective.Then, the diachronic variation of the phrase. Then the sociological factors are involved in the topic.tussle (FIGHT) verb [I] to fight with another person using your arms and body:The boys started to tussle in the corridor.tussle noun [C usually singular]From the state of his clothes and hair, he had been in a tussle.In para 11, there is a sentence:And there in America now, 900 years later, we are still the heirs of it.What does “it” refer to The French influence of that time, or facing the same problem of having two languages existing side by side.Paragraph 15-20 the languages used by the different social classes.Some of the misunderstanding of the language use in differentsituation even for the same person.Para 15 the difference in language use between the two conflicting classes. The poking jokes of the lower class people on the so called upper class.underlings: -ling is actually a suffix indicating “smallness, young”. Such as duckling,edict: order, decree.ultimatum noun [C] plural ultimatums or ultimataa threat in which a person or group of people are warned that if they do not do a particular thing, something unpleasant will happen to them. It is usually the last and most extreme in a series of actions taken to bring about a particular result:He gave her an ultimatum - she could either stop seeing Peter and come back to him or it was divorce.On Wednesday night the UN issued its toughest ultimatum to date, demanding that all troops withdraw from the city.pejorative adjective FORMALdisapproving or suggesting that something is not good or is of no importance:Make sure students realise that 'fat' is an unflattering or pejorative word.It comes as quite a shock to still hear a judge describing a child as 'illegitimate', with all the pejorative overtones of that word.facetious adjective DISAPPROVINGnot serious about a serious subject, in an attempt to be amusing or to appear clever:facetious remarksHe's just being facetious.sinister adjectivemaking you feel that something bad or evil might happen:The ruined house had a sinister appearance.A sinister-looking man sat in the corner of the room.observe: to make a remark or commentPara 19: Even for the same great author, he may use very colloquial expressions in a very formal party.Paragraph 21The ending of the essay and the echoing back to what is introduced in the first para. It is not only an echoing back but related to a very hot research interest in the academic world – teaching the animals to talk: the chimpanzees, the gorilla.The ending itself is an abrupt change of mind, a free flying of ideas, a typical instance of free conversation – pub talk.。
