Unit 7 When Tomorrow Comes Period 2 听读课教学设计 Section A (2a-2e) I. Teaching Objectives 1. Language proficiency Students can master vocabulary and sentence patterns related to future predictions (e.g., “There will be…”, “Will there be… ”) and use them to talk about future changes in transport, education, and health care. Students can understand and retell the conversation about future predictions, and create their own dialogues with correct grammar and logical content. 2. Cultural awareness Students can recognize the global focus on future technological development (e.g., smart transport, remote education) and understand how technology affects daily life across different contexts. Students can appreciate the positive attitude toward future progress while thinking about potential challenges behind technological changes Thinking quality Students can analyze and classify information (e.g., sorting future predictions into different categories: population, transport) to improve logical thinking. Students can make reasonable future predictions with supporting reasons, developing critical and creative thinking. Learning ability Students can use “skimming” and “scanning” skills to get main ideas and details from a conversation. Students can cooperate with peers in role-plays and discussions to enhance autonomous and collaborative learning skills. II. Teaching Key & Difficult Points Key Points: Master sentence patterns for future predictions (“There will be…”, “Will there be… ”)； Understand and extract information about future changes from the conversation. Difficult Points: Use future prediction structures flexibly to create logical, context-rich dialogues; Analyze the positive tone of the conversation and support opinions with specific details. III. Teaching Methods Communicative Language Teaching Method; Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT); Audio-visual Teaching. IV. Teaching Aids Textbook; PPT slides; Audio recordings; Animation video; Whiteboard V. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up (5 minutes) Teacher’s Activity: Show 4 pictures (robot medical care, crowded city, new transport track, AI-assisted learning) and ask: “What will the future look like ” Guide students to use the pattern “There will be…” to share ideas. Students’ Activity: Observe pictures, participate in the free talk and try to use the given sentence pattern to express their initial predictions. Purpose of Design: Activate students' prior knowledge about the future, introduce the topic, and lay a foundation for the new language structure. Step 2: Pre-reading/listening (5 minutes) Teacher’s Activity: Ask students to skim the conversation quickly (1 min) and answer: “What is the conversation about ” (Options: A. Future predictions; B. Future technology; C. Future education). Then present options A-D (from 2a) and guide students to classify them into categories (transport, population, health care, length of life). Students’ Activity: Skim the dialogue to get ... ...
