教材分析
本节课主要内容是通过看图说话帮助学生理解中外文化差异。

学情分析
学生对汉语语言文化有一定的了解，而对外国文化的理解还有待提高
本课的设计意图：本节课是以说和读为主的单元热身课，用一课时的时间来激活学生与单元话题（文化差异）有关的已有知识以便导入课文教学。

运用图画以及与图画有关的提示语，激发学生对话题的兴趣，引导学生运用已有知识进行相关话题的讨论。

由于课本上的信息量不大，学生对各国的文化差异并不是很了解，所以通过阅读短文来增加信息量，为下一步的学习做好充分的热身准备，从而调动学习的积极性。

同时要注重德育教育，引导学生学会尊重文化差异。

Step 3 Reading
1. Read a passage and know more about the different greeting ways mentioned above.
Reading material:
The way that people greet each other differs from one country to another, but all greetings are meant to show friendship and respect. In Japan, whether meeting someone for the first time or seeing an old friend, people usually greet each other with a bow. In Thailand, the custom is to put one’s hands together at the chest or in front of the face, with the head bowed. In Latin countries, women often greet each other with an embrace, putting their cheeks together while exchanging greetings. In France, the way to greet friends is with a kiss on both cheeks. But possibly the most unusual way to greet a friend is the one used by Eskimos in Alaska—an enthusiastic rubbing of noses! More and more, however, the hand—shake is becoming the most popular greeting around the world. The handshake got its start in the Middle Ages, when all strangers were seen as possible enemies. When two men who didn’t know each other met on a road, they immediately pulled out their weapons. When they were satisfied that the other person was not an enemy, they would put their weapons away and hold out their hands in a gesture of friendship. While they were talking, they often maintained the handshake until they were sure they could trust the other person. Variations of the handshake have developed over the years. In European countries, the handshake has become so popular that it is used almost every time people get together—sometimes several times a day with the same person. In Europe, people take each other’s hands gently and don’t move them as much as in other parts of the world. In Arabic countries, men usually don’t release the handshake until many greetings have been exchanged. In the United States, the handshake is used when meeting people for the first time or when greeting people on important
occasions. The American handshake is usually a very strong one. Some people even think it’s too strong.. Also, Americans move their hands up and down more than Europeans do. But whatever greeting is used—a handshake, a bow, or an embrace—we can all recognize and understand a gesture of friendship.
T or F questions:
1. Greetings are meant to show friendship and respect.
2. Possibly the most unusual way for people to greet each other is to put one’s hands together at the chest.
3. Handshake was first used in the Middle Ages.
4. In the United States, people shake hands when they meet important people.
5. The Europeans shake hands gently.
2. Read another short passage about greetings and answer the following questions.
What do Americans/the British/Australians like doing to show respect?
When it comes to the first impression, a proper greeting is of the utmost importance. Before you group together all English-speaking people, remember there are many differences greeting manners between various countries. For example, Americans like a strong handshake that shows respect, as well as a simple greeting, ie. ‘Hello, nice to meet you’. Or ‘Hi, my name is John.’ On the contrary, the British prefer a brief but firm handshake associated with a formal greeting such as ‘Good morning, Mr Blair. How are you?’ Australians also differ with people commonly preferring a simple ‘G’ day (Good day) in casual situations. Whether you are introducing yourself to others or seeing an old friend, it is important to use the proper greeting according to the different cultures and situations.
（设计意图）按照教材上来上这节课，课堂容量会太小，通过设计阅读这一环节，帮助学生增加与本课有关的知识，引导学生在上一个新的话题时，可以通过阅读来增加信息，同时有机地将话题讨论与阅读相结合。

Step 3 Discussion
Are these ways of greeting the same as the ways Chinese people greet each other?
As a Chinese, if you are not familiar with greetings from other countries, what might happen?
(Maybe we would feel embarrassed; we might be involved in awkward situations like …)
（设计意图）让学生分组讨论这两个问题，确保每个人都有机会表达自己的观点和训练到自己的英语口语, 并让他们亲身感受一下如何与外国人打招呼，如果自己遇到因文化差异引起的尴尬应如何解决，这样的教学情景很有交际性，使课堂气氛达到高潮。

Step 4: Summary
T: Today, we have discussed cultural differences and customs. And all of you have done a good job. I feel so happy with you. At the end of this class, I hope every one of you will behave properly if you get the chance to go aboard in the future!
Stp5: Homework
1.Read the passage in Workbook.
2.Preview Reading part.
教学反思：
本课时侧重培养学生听、说、读三方面的技能。

笔者首先从宏观上对整个教学过程的结构进行了适当的微调，先从学生非常熟悉的一段问候方式入手，让学生从简单的QUIZ中了解各国在日常生活中有哪些基本的文化差异，不至于在以后与外国人打交道产生误解，造成尴尬的局面。

同时也能扩大学生的知识面，激发学生的兴趣，从而调动课堂气氛。

然后教师话锋一转，“外国人如何打交道?”顺理成章地引到了本课的主题。

先通过直观观察四幅画来了解四个不同的国家各自的问候方式，学生分组讨论交流，然后表达自己的思想，这样可以学会与他人合作，共享学习成果，并练习了口语，大大激发了学生的学习兴趣。

通过设计阅读这一环节，帮助学生增加与本课有关的知识，引导学生在上一个新的话题时，
可以通过阅读来增加信息，同时有机地将话题讨论与阅读相结合。

让学生分组讨论这两个问题，确保每个人都有机会表达自己的观点和训练到自己的英语口语, 并让他们亲身感受一下如何与外国人打招呼，如果自己遇到因文化差异引起的尴尬应如何解决，这样的教学情景很有交际性，使课堂气氛达到高潮。

整个教学过程过度自然，环环相扣，达到了预期的目标。
