Step IV. 讨论交流，真实运用语言 Discussion ( 5m ) Group work:
Discuss in group of four, then ask the students to show their ideas. 1. What can you learn from this passage?
2. Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn, why? Possible answer: I don’t think so. Here are the reasons: Native speakers from different parts of the world have no difficulty in understanding each other despite the fact that they speak a bit differently. It is necessary for us to learn the narrow difference between different kinds of English if we hope to communicate fluently with native speakers of English from all over the world. Different kinds of English have the same language core. If you have got a good command of one kind, you will almost have no difficulty understanding another kind of English. (Any persuasive and supporting reason the students give can be accepted.) 3. Why do you think people all over the world want to learn English? Possible answer: The reasons why people all over the world want to learn English: With economy globalization, English has become the best bridge to serve the purpose of people all over the world communicating with one another. However, like all major languages in the world, English is always changing. In order to adjust to native speakers from different parts of the world, it is a must for people all over the world to learn English, whether in English speaking countries or in non-English speaking countries. Also, people from different parts of the world speak English with various accent and dialects, and people have to learn about the difference between different kinds of English in order to avoid misunderstanding while communicating. (All persuasive reasons can be accepted.) 4. Will Chinese English become one of the World English?
