Module One Unit One A Volunteer Teacher
Though the language focus of this lesson is on listening, I place stress on the spirit of volunteering. Thus, firstly, I will give the definition of volunteering and four basic forms of it to students, so that they will have deep understanding of it and contribute their own services in the future. Secondly, I will deal with the new vocabulary to make it easier to understand the listening material. Thirdly, Exercise 3 will be turned into two easier exercises. As a result, students will be able to understand the interview gradually.

情感、态度与价值观目标：
1. Help students know that it’s our great honor to help others.
2. Encourage students to contribute their services to our society in the future.
3. Make students respect any volunteers in our society.
On the one hand, since most of the students come from cities. This topic is quite suitable for them. The interviewee, Wang Shu, in the listening material is a graduate student from Beijing, but she made a big decision to be a volunteer teacher in Inner Mongolia. She has set a good example to students living in cities. On the other hand, the listening material in this lesson is much too difficult for students who are just in the early days of their Senior High School. So I change the material into two easier ones to encourage their confidence in listening.
1、Task-based teaching and learning
It will help students to be active in the class and make them sure what to do in the class. The teacher just acts as a guide.
2、Discussion and cooperation
Discussion will make students exchange ideas, learn from each other and study the best way to express themselves. While cooperation can help students learn how to work with others and improve their learning procedures.
六、教学过程
Step One : lead-in
Task One: ask students the following question:
How much do you know about volunteer? Please discuss it with your group members.
Background information: Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving.
Aim: to inform students of the concept of volunteering; involve students into the topic.
Task Two: discuss with your partner: in what aspects can you volunteer in our society?
Put forward four forms of volunteering with some pictures.
Forms of volunteering:
1. Help people in poor conditions: children in poor conditions; people who have AIDS; people who suffer from disasters (flood, earthquake, war). You can provide medicine; education; emergency rescue.
2. Self-serving: big sports events; Olympics; world Expo; business exposition.
