教学过程设计 | Step1: Interpretation of the Title 1.Raise a question: How can messiness be glorious? 2.Introduce oxymoron—a rhetorical device: 1)There used a rhetorical device in the title—Oxymoron. 2)What is oxymoron? An oxymoron puts two contradictory terms together to puzzle reader, luring him/ her to pause and explore why. 3.Have Ss scan the first three paragraphs to find out the definition for “glorious messiness” (in Para. 3). 4.Aim of the author used oxymoron here: “Glorious” is a commendatory term, while “messiness” is derogatory. The author actually used the title as a thesis statement: Yes, English is messy, but the messiness reflects some commendable qualities of English, such as tolerance, the love of freedom, and the respect for others’ rights. Step2: Brief Introduction to History of English—the Language 1.The Roots of English A west Germanic language brought to England by Anglo-Saxons around 400 A.D. 1)Old English/ The Anglo-Saxons: the spoken and written language of England between 400 and 1100 A.D., such as “house”, “woman”, “man”, “mother”, etc. 2)Christianity: added English new words from Latin, like “martyr”, “bishop” and “font”, etc. 3)Viking: with their action-man words, like “drag”, “take”, “get”, and many words that begin with sk, like “sky” and “skirt”. 4)The Norman Conquest: added French word to English, like “judge”, “jury”, “royal”, “sovereign”, etc. 5)Middle English: between 1300 and 1500. Middle English was influenced by French in governmental words, like “court”, “legal”, and “government” itself, and Latin in religious and educational words, like “minister”, “angel”, “school”, and “grammar”. 2.The Development of Modern English Modern English developed from the Middle English dialect of the East Midlands and was influenced by the English used in London, where a printing press was set up by William Caxton in 1476. 1)Renaissance: many words introduced from Greek and Latin to express new ideas, especially in science, medicine and philosophy, like “physics”, “species”, “architecture”, “encyclopedia” and “hypothesis”. 2)Bible: brought written English to ordinary people. 3)William Shakespeare: as the dictionary tells us, about 2,000 new words and phrases were invented by him, like “eyeball”, “puppy-dog”. 4)A dictionary of the English Language (1755) by Samuel Johnson: the first authoritative treatment of English. It defined about 40, 000 words and gave examples of their use. 5)American English: American English was established and developing independently from British English by the 18th century. Noah Webster’s The Elementary Spelling Book in 1783. 3.20th Century English and World English 1)New words added from other languages, like Chinese “feng shui” and Japanese “karaoke”. 2)New meanings added to existing words under the influence of Internet . 3)International language/ World English. Step3: Background Knowledge 1.Julius Caesar (100-44B.C.) 2.Viking 3.The Norman Conquest 4.William Caxton(1422-1491) 5.Winston Churchill(1874-1965) 6.Otto Jesperson(1860-1943) . Step4: Organization of Text A Draw Ss’ attention to Text Organization exercise 1, p. 193, lead them through the directions, and then discuss with them the main ideas of each part. Step5: Tasks after Class 1)Ask Ss to read the text sentence by sentence. 2)Try to translate the text in group discussion. | |||||
