Learning arrangement

Step1: Pre-listening

1 Enjoy a song

T: Just now we listened to a song about family members. What forms of address of family members did you hear?

Ss: grandpa  grandma   mother   father…

T write the words down on the board as Ss say into two groups

Get Ss to say where we should write the words, on the left or on the right.

Elicit the phrases on the left, on the right

2 Talk about the picture

Present Tony’s family photo on the screen.

Get Ss to say Tony’s family members

T: Look at the screen. What can you see?

Ss: A photo of Tony’s family.

T: Who are they?

Ss: Tony’s grandparents…

Step 2: While-listening

1 listen and check

Get Ss to listen to a short conversation and check the people Tony mentions in the photo.

2 listen and find out

Present the following people on the screen

Tony’s mum’s parents   Tony’s dad’s parents   

Linda     Liz   Paul    Mike      Helen

Get Ss to listen to the long conversation and find out the people in the photo.

T: Can you read them?

Ss:…

T: Where are they in the photo? Now let’s listen and find them out

After listening to the conversation once or twice, get Ss to give the answer like:

Tony’s mum’s parents are on the left. This is Linda, and she is on the left of Tony…

3 listen and complete the conversation

Get Ss to listen to the conversation for another time and try to complete the conversation.

Get one student to come to the board and write down the sentence and words missing.

T: Look at the screen. There is something missing in the conversation. Can you complete the conversation? Now let’s listen again and fill in the blanks with the words or sentence missing. I’ll get one student to come to the blackboard to write them down.

Get one pair of Ss to read the conversation they complete.

4 listen and repeat

Get Ss to listen and read after the recording.

Get Ss to stand up if they can repeat the sentence they hear.

设计意图：因为平时我们的跟读都是老师播放音频，学生们坐在位置上看着书本上的听力原文进行跟读。这次我们采取学生不看书，然后就跟着音频读，能重复音频内容的同学站起来跟读，这打破了我们平时的常规做法，增加了课堂趣味性，让孩子们在有意思的活动中操练了本节课的目标语。

Step 3 Post-listening

1 Read in pairs

T: Now please read the conversation with your partners in pairs.

Get one or two pairs to read the conversation to the whole class.

2 Talk about Tony’s family photo

Present Tony’s family photo an article about it with some words or phrases missing on the screen.
