教学素材 | “谢帝谢帝,我要迪士尼”的梗和英文有关系吗?

“谢帝谢帝,我要迪士尼”的梗和英文有关系吗?不知大家前些日子是否留意到,网络上刮起了一股名为“谢帝谢帝我要diss你”的旋风,连带着“成都迪士尼”也成为了热门打卡圣地。这场潮流如同一场盛大的网络派对,充满了趣味与惊喜。那这个热梗到底是什么意思呢?又怎么和成都以及迪士尼扯上了关系?今天,我们就一起来揭秘这个热梗的起源以及它带来的影响,还能借机学习一波相关的英语表达哦!一场妙趣横生的空耳之旅这一切源于一位说唱界的草根歌手“诺米么Lodmemo”。在一场说唱海选中,评委谢帝不仅误将诺米写给爷爷的歌《阿普的思念》说成“写给奶奶的歌”,还评价他说,“把说唱当成一个兴趣就好”。诺米因此非常受伤,决定写一首歌来表明自己的态度,于是创作了歌曲《谢天谢帝》来向评委谢帝“宣战”。 《谢天谢帝》歌曲MV其中那句“谢帝谢帝我要diss你”在副歌部分反复吟唱,宛如魔咒一般。没想到,网友们的耳朵却在此时展现了惊人的创造力,将这句歌词转化为“谢帝谢帝我要迪士尼”。这一奇妙的空耳现象如同魔法般点燃了网络,而诺米MV中的拍摄地——成都玉林七巷的一处健身器材场地,则摇身一变,成为了“成都迪士尼”的象征,引来无数人争相打卡。小红书打卡分享从热梗走进英语世界“我要diss你”中的“diss”从何而来?百度百科的解释是,“diss”是disrespect(不尊重)或disparage(轻视)的缩写,意指对他人表现出看不惯、轻视或鄙视的态度。在前面提到的热梗中,诺米用它来表达对谢帝的不满。 那有没有其他地道的英语表达可以表示类似diss 的含义呢?经小WE一查,还真不少:1. look down on 蔑视,瞧不起She always looks down on her colleagues who didn’t attend university. 她总是看不起那些没有上过大学的同事。2. disdain v. 鄙视,蔑视He disdained his opponent’s lack of experience. 他对对手的经验不足表示轻视。3. sneer at 嘲笑,蔑视She sneered at his attempt to join the conversation. 她对他试图加入谈话嗤之以鼻。4. scorn v. 轻蔑,鄙视 He scorned his rival’s attempts to imitate him. 他对竞争对手尝试模仿他表示蔑视。 大家学到了吗?回到这条热梗引发的人们纷纷前往“成都迪士尼”打卡的现象。我们再来拓展一下,“打卡”用英语怎么说?1. check in at a trendy spot check in是一种常用的表达,常用于表示到达某个地方并在社交媒体上记录自己的存在。而trendy spot指的是当下流行的、备受关注的地点。They love checking in at trendy spots around the city, sharing photos of their visits on Instagram.他们喜欢在城市里的热门地点打卡,将自己的打卡照片分享到Instagram上。2. visit a hotspothotspot可以指“活动多的地方;热闹的娱乐场所”,在此指网红打卡点。Let’s visit that new rooftop bar; it’s been a hotspot for celebrities lately.我们去那家新开的天台酒吧吧,最近成了名人们经常光顾的网红地。3. hit up a trendy spothit up的含义比较多样,在此指“拜访,参观”,还可以指“与某人联络”或者“向某人乞求”。We should hit up that trendy street market this weekend; I heard they have amazing food stalls.这周末我们应该去逛逛那个时髦的街头市场;听说他们有很棒的食品摊位。 这场由“谢帝谢帝我要diss你”引发的热梗狂潮,让我们见证了网络文化的强大影响力,也体验到了集体情绪释放的奇妙力量。而爆火之后的诺米,在最近的采访中也表示,对于参加节目被谢帝淘汰,他理解谢帝当时的状态,“选手太多了,他可能很累了,他并没有刻意针对我”。在诺米的情绪归于平静之时,也希望大家保持理性,对于“diss你”之类的小情绪,可以适当发泄,但不要长久怀怒哦。*本文图片来源于网络,仅供学习交流使用,侵删。

TRANSCRIPTWHO’s Science in 5: Sun and Skin CancerVismita Gupta-Smith: WHO and the International Labour Organization have recently released estimates about how many workers are exposed to sunlight at work, and how many of them get skin cancer, specifically non-melanoma skin cancer as a result of long exposure to sun. How does sun cause skin cancer? Who is at risk and how can you, your employer, and your government keep you safe? Here to talk about it is Dr Frank Pega. Welcome, Frank. Frank, explain to us how intense exposure to sunlight can cause non-melanoma skin cancer.non-melanoma skin cancer 皮肤癌,非黑瘤皮肤癌Dr Frank Pega: Outdoor workers regularly work under the intense sun, sometimes for really long periods of time. (Q1) And sun comprises ultraviolet radiation. When this type of radiation hits skin cells, it can damage their DNA. And that can in turn lead to skin cancer, where these skin cells basically grow uncontrolled. There are two main types of skin cancer. Melanoma is the more deadly type. We looked at non-melanoma, which is the type that is less deadly but much, much more common and a big problem. Non-melanoma skin cancer commonly appears as either a red firm lump or a flat, scaly patch that doesn’t heal for several weeks, so outdoor workers are at a 60% increased risk compared to indoor workers from having a non-melanoma skin cancer. This kind of skin cancer is commonly seen on the face, on the ears, or on the head, but also the arms and the legs where workers are most exposed to the sun. So, for example, imagine a farmer who plants or harvests rice. That worker will be exposed intensively to the sun for a really long time, and the surface of the water that has flooded the fields that the worker is standing in will be reflecting back, aggravating the exposure.ultraviolet adj. 紫外线的melanoma n. 黑素瘤;黑瘤Vismita Gupta-Smith: So Frank, talk to us about how many people get non-melanoma skin cancer as a result of sun exposure at work, and does this depend on what kind of country we live in, whether we are in a low-income, middle-income or high-income country?Dr Frank Pega: It’s many more people who are working outdoors and who die as a result of non-melanoma skin cancer from this exposure than we could have possibly imagine before we did our estimates. (Q2) About one in four workers globally is actually exposed to intense sunlight at work. That’s a staggering 1.6 billion people globally. staggering adj. 令人难以相信的Vismita Gupta-Smith: (Q3) So these are the farmers in the rice field, the construction workers, the people who are working in the non-organized sector for long hours under intense sunlight.Dr Frank Pega: That’s correct. (Q4) So these are outdoor workers who live primarily in low- and middle-income countries and who are often working in the informal economy where they don’t have any health protections that formal employment would afford to them. One in three non-melanoma skin cancer deaths are actually from working under the sun, so that’s about 19,000 deaths globally each year. (Q5) If you work outdoors, you’re at a higher risk and we find that the number of people who die from non-melanoma skin cancer in each region per population is almost equal. So it’s a global problem. (Q6) Additionally, it’s a growing problem because the numbers have doubled in the last 20 years.Vismita Gupta-Smith: So Frank, what can governments do and what can workers do to protect themselves from long exposure to intense sunlight and from skin cancer?Dr Frank Pega: (Q7) Governments can pass regulations and policies that can prevent outdoor work that is hazardous because it’s under the sun. For example, governments can reorganize work, they can require that workers reorganize so that working under the sun has shifted away from solar noon, and therefore away from the intense sun. Governments can also implement requirements that workers are provided with shade when they work outdoors. This is something we’ve seen a lot. (Q8) Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region and the Western Pacific already have these types of regulations in place. Additionally, governments can provide public health information. This is very important. They can talk about sun safety protocols and protective measures that can be taken. Also important, as there can be a requirement that workers are provided with protective clothing. They can wear broad brimmed heads, long sleeved shirts, long trousers and also there could be a provision of sunscreen where it’s effective and deemed possible. Additionally, it’s important that we have functioning health services and systems where skin cancer is prevented and we have workers being regularly checked so that skin cancer can be detected early and can be treated. And finally but importantly, governments can recognize skin cancer from occupational exposure to the sun as an occupational disease and include it in worker’s compensation schemes.protocol n. 条约草案;协议 brimmed adj.有帽檐的provision n. 提供Vismita Gupta-Smith: Thank you, Frank. That was Science in 5 today. Until next time then, stay safe, stay healthy and stick with science. Part III. KEYQ1. C. 细节题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“And sun comprises ultraviolet radiation. When this type of radiation hits skin cells, it can damage their DNA.”意为:“阳光包含紫外线辐射。当这种辐射击中皮肤细胞时,可以损坏它们的DNA。”根据此句,明确指出阳光中的紫外线辐射是导致非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的原因。因此答案为C。Q2. C. 细节题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“About one in four workers globally is actually exposed to intense sunlight at work.”意为:“全球大约有1/4的工人在工作时暴露于强烈的阳光下。”这个比例说明了这个问题的普遍性。因此答案为C。Q3. B. 细节题。Vismita Gupta-Smith说道:“So these are the farmers in the rice field, the construction workers...”意为:“所以这些是在稻田里的农民、建筑工人……”。通过这个描述,我们知道哪些工种的工人更容易暴露于强烈阳光之下。因此答案为B。Q4. A. 推理题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“...who are often working in the informal economy where they don’t have any health protections that formal employment would afford to them.”意为:“……他们通常在非正规经济领域工作,在那里他们没有正式就业所能提供给他们的任何健康保护措施。”根据此句,我们可以推断非正规经济领域的户外工作者缺乏正式就业所带来的健康保护。因此答案为A。Q5. D. 推理题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“...the number of people who die from non-melanoma skin cancer in each region per population is almost equal.”意为:“……每个地区因非黑色素瘤皮肤癌死亡的人数与人口数量之比几乎相等。”基于这个信息,我们可以推断该病状在全球范围内分布相对均匀。因此答案为D。Q6. C. 细节题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“Additionally, it’s a growing problem because the numbers have doubled in the last 20 years.”意为:“此外,这是一个日益严重的问题,因为在过去20年中,这个数字翻了一番。”根据这个描述,我们可以推断出非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的情况正在恶化。因此答案为C。Q7. B. 推理题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“Governments can pass regulations and policies that can prevent outdoor work that is hazardous because it’s under the sun...”意为:“政府可以通过法规和政策来预防因在阳光下工作而带来的危险……”。根据这句话,我们可以推断政府在预防户外工作相关健康风险方面扮演着重要角色,并能够通过立法和政策干预来降低这些风险。因此答案为B。Q8. A. 细节题。文本中Dr. Frank Pega提到:“Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region and the Western Pacific already have these types of regulations in place.”意为:“东地中海地区和西太平洋地区的国家已经制定了这类规定。”这些具体的地区已有保护工人免受阳光暴露的法规。因此答案为A。Q9. C. 主旨题。整段对话的核心焦点是讨论户外工人如何防范因长时间暴露于强烈阳光而引起的皮肤癌。文本多次提到户外工作与皮肤癌之间的关系以及预防措施,例如政府可以做什么,工人如何保护自己等等。因此答案为C。 (本文图片来自摄图网,版权归摄图网所有。)

TRANSCRIPTIt has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person's writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble. (Q1) Copying another person's writing without crediting them is called plagiarism.plagiarism n. 抄袭;剽窃(Q2) Recently, the leader of Harvard University stepped down over problems related to the use of other peoples' work in her writing.American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks. The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U.S.The idea is that copyright helps society. If people can gain from their own creations, called their intellectual property, then more people will want to create original works.(Q3) The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research. However, there are some limitations.(Q4)In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.Many universities, including Harvard University, even urge students to give credit to sources of ideas when they come from discussions with professors or other students. Harvard even warns students about copying themselves. That is, they cannot hand in the same work for more than one class without the permission of their instructors.A failure to do so is considered plagiarizing.How can professors know if a student is plagiarizing?Just as it is easy to copy, it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized.First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, or AI, tools that compare students' papers to large databases of published writing. The programs can identify whether students have copied published writing. Second, (Q5) if English is not a student's first language, a professor might recognize a change in wording and writing style. This could bring more attention to the student's paper.Plagiarism is punished in different ways. (Q6) Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.Tools to avoid plagiarismThere are free tools to make citations easier for students and to avoid plagiarism. Zotero is a free, open-source program that helps organize all the research a student may use. For example, it can automatically create citations and combine them into a list. The Purdue Online Writing Lab, or Purdue OWL for short, is another free resource.Many universities also have writing centers where students can learn the citation rules. And another way for students to learn how to avoid plagiarism is to read published papers and pay careful attention to how information is presented. Students should observe when and how citations are used. This can help them learn the rules of citations.In educational, or academic, writing, it is better to cite too much than too little.A possible double standardHarvard's Claudine Gay resigned this month after several accusations of plagiarism in her academic work.Gay's academic writing got attention after she was strongly criticized for her answers to a Congressional committee related to freedom of speech. Critics found several cases of possible plagiarism in her 1997 doctoral paper. Harvard's governing board first supported Gay, saying a review of her scholarly work turned up "a few instances of inadequate citation" but no evidence of research wrongdoing.doctoral adj. 博士(学位)的There has been debate among academics over whether her conduct amounted to academic dishonesty. D. Stephen Voss is an associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky. He knew Gay when they were graduate students at Harvard. A paper he co-wrote in the 1990s was one Gay is accused of plagiarizing from.(Q7) He said in an interview with the New Yorker magazine that Gay did plagiarize from him. But what she copied from his paper was "trivial" and "inconsequential."trivial adj. 不重要的;琐碎的;微不足道的inconsequential adj. 不重要的;微不足道的;细琐的What Gay used from his paper "did not take an idea of any significance from my work." He added: "the bit she used from us was not in any way a major component of what made her research important or valuable."Roger Kreuz is a psychology professor at the University of Memphis who is writing a book on the history and psychology of plagiarism. (Q8) He told VOA in an email that if plagiarism is defined as taking words from another person's work, "the opinion of (Voss) doesn't really matter."Kreuz wrote in the online publication, The Conversation, that university students and professors might face different requirements when it comes to plagiarism. Kreuz wrote that professors suspected of plagiarism may be given the benefit of the doubt by their schools. They may also be given the chance to make corrections to their published work.Kreuz added that university leaders think that faculty members know what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. (Q9) If a problem arises, administrators might think they were just being careless with their citations or use of quotation marks.Students, on the other hand, must follow university policies on academic behavior. Harvard, for example, warns that students may be forced to leave the college if they plagiarize. Work written by students is more likely to be closely examined and put through tools that identify plagiarism than faculty work.(Q10) Many students consider this a double standard.Kreuz wrote in an opinion piece in The Boston Globe that university plagiarism policies for faculty are unclear.How "can academics set or enforce policies for faculty when the concept is so ill-defined?" he asked.I'm Dan Novak.

TRANSCRIPT The Science of Laughter (1) Isn’t it odd that, when something’s funny, you might show your teeth, change your breathing, become weak and achy in some places, and maybe even cry? In other words, why do we do this bizarre thing that is laughter? bizarre adj. 极其怪诞的;异乎寻常的 (2) (Q1) When you laugh, your abdominal muscles contract rapidly. This alters your breathing patterns, increasing the pressure in your chest cavity, and pushing air out, which might audibly emerge as a snort, wheeze, or vocalization. Because you’re exerting your abdominal muscles much more than you usually would while talking, they may start to hurt. Laughter also inhibits your reflexes and muscle control, causing sensations like leg weakness. chest cavity 胸腔snort n.(尤指表示气愤或被逗乐的)喷鼻息,哼inhibit v. 阻止;阻碍;抑制 (3) So, where does this funny phenomenon come from? Because there’s no archaeological record of laughter, it’s impossible to say exactly how and why it evolved, but scientists have some theories. Importantly, humans are not the only animals today that do something like laughter. Using ultrasonic recorders, researchers in the late 90s realized that rats were basically giggling while being tickled. Scientists have since compiled evidence of at least 65 species - mostly mammals, but also some birds - that vocalize during social play. Some, unsurprisingly, are our closest relatives. compile v. 编写(书、列表、报告等);编纂 (4) By recording and analyzing the sounds primates make while playing and being tickled, researchers grew more convinced that the ancient ancestor of all great apes did something like laughter. And, because other apes make laughter-like sounds during rough-and-tumble play, (Q2) they think laughter may have originally developed to clearly signal friendly, non-aggressive intent. (5) But of course, humans don’t just laugh when we’re wrestling, but also when we’re amused, and even surprised, confused, or nervous. Some scientists think laughter took on expanded functions after humans split from other great apes and developed large social groups and more complex language abilities. (Q3) They hypothesize that laughter gradually became something we could use not just during play but within speech to convey subtle meanings and a range of contexts to show our emotions. (6) This is thought to be one of the reasons that laughter is contagious: it’s like an invitation to share in someone’s emotional state. Just hearing clips of laughter can activate key regions in your brain, triggering you to smile or laugh yourself. And when participants in one study watched a funny video, they laughed significantly longer and more often when another person was present – even though they reported feeling the same level of amusement. contagious adj.(疾病)接触传染的 (7) Human laughter is also generally louder than the play vocalizations of most animals. Some scientists speculate that this is because our laughter functions not only as a signal between individuals, but a broadcast to everyone around. (8) Studies found that observers across the world and as young as 5 months old could reliably tell the difference between close friends and acquaintances just from brief clips of them laughing. (Q4) Similarly, we can tell whether a laugh is real or fake based just on the sound. Fake, or volitional, laughter is produced in entirely different networks in the brain, relying on speech-like pathways. Meanwhile, spontaneous laughter arises from older networks that other animals also use for their vocalizations. And laughter is not just socially important; it’s also thought to be good for us. When we laugh, our brains release feel-good neurotransmitters like endorphins, and decrease levels of stress hormones like cortisol. (Q5) Some research even suggests that people who laugh more can cope with stress more effectively and have better cardiovascular health. (9) Laughter is a universal human behavior. Babies can laugh before they can speak. Whether it’s the best medicine depends on your ailment. But as something that makes life more tolerable, strengthens bonds, and potentially improves aspects of your health, you can’t go wrong with a good laugh. Unless you have a broken rib or something. Then it’s no laughing matter. Certainly nothing to crack up about. ailment n. 轻病;小恙Part III. KEY Q1. B. 细节题。文章第(2) 段提到:“When you laugh, your abdominal muscles contract rapidly. This alters your breathing patterns...” 意为:“当你笑时,你的腹部肌肉会快速收缩。这改变了你的呼吸模式……”。因此答案为B。 Q2. C. 细节题。文章第(4) 段提到:“...they think laughter may have originally developed to clearly signal friendly, non-aggressive intent.” 意为:“……他们认为笑声最初可能是为了清晰地表达友好、非攻击性的意图而发展起来的。”因此答案为C。 Q3. D. 推理题。文章第(5) 段提到:“They hypothesize that laughter gradually became something we could use not just during play but within speech to convey subtle meanings and a range of contexts to show our emotions.” 意为:“他们假设笑声逐渐成为我们不仅在玩耍中使用,而且在言语中用来传达微妙含义和一系列情境以显示我们的情感的东西。”这说明笑声的功能随着人类从其他大猿类分化后发生了变化,开始承载更广泛的含义和情绪表达。因此答案为D。 Q4. C. 细节题。文章第(8) 段提到:“Similarly, we can tell whether a laugh is real or fake based just on the sound.” 意为:“同样,我们可以只根据声音判断笑声是真是假。” 因此答案为C。 Q5. A. 主旨题。文章第(8) 段提到:“Some research even suggests that people who laugh more can cope with stress more effectively and have better cardiovascular health.” 意为:“一些研究甚至表明,笑得更多的人可以更有效地应对压力,并拥有更好的心血管健康。” 这表明经常笑可能带来的一个结果是改善心血管健康和压力管理。因此答案为A。 (封面图片来自摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

练习 | 住房对孩子上学的重要性

VOA慢速:住房对孩子上学的重要性Housing Important for Keeping Children in School刘立军 供稿TRANSCRIPTLast year, 40 percent of students in Los Angeles public schools missed more than 10 percent of the school year.That information comes from the Los Angeles Unified School District, which says about 429,000 students are enrolled in its schools.In addition to the attendance numbers, the district’s website says its officials did not know where 2,500 students were. These students stopped attending class and did not appear to enroll anywhere else.Elmer Roldan is executive director of Communities in Schools of Los Angeles, a nonprofit group that aims to keep children in school. He said, “Housing is the biggest reason kids aren’t going to school or we can’t find them.”The Associated Press (AP) recently reported on a case of one of those children whose housing situation led to problems at school.Fifteen-year-old Deneffy Sánchez has faced housing problems with his family for years. An AP reporter spoke with the teenager and his family.Deneffy lives with his mother Lilian Lopez and a 3-year-old sister. Lopez had been having a hard time keeping up with monthly rent payments in an earlier apartment. So the family of three shared a small living space with Fabiola Del Castillo, someone they did not know.As they fell behind on rent payments again, Del Castillo wanted to give up the apartment and pressured the family to leave. To fight the threat of losing their home, Deneffy stayed in the apartment ― and missed school.Federal data shows that the majority of students the government considers “homeless” have a place to stay. But the situation is often complex with shared roommates and an unsure future. In Los Angeles, the city’s superintendent said last spring that 13,000 students were homeless and 2,000 of them stayed in city shelters.In Deneffy’s case, his family was struggling to stay in their small apartment. His father has not been with them. His mother immigrated from Guatemala 22 years ago. In 2020, after his mother gave birth to Jennifer, his sister, the family was homeless.That year, schools across the country closed because of the spread of COVID-19. Deneffy tried to attend seventh-grade classes online through Zoom but said he could not pay attention. “I felt like they were judging me,” he said.By ninth grade, classes became more difficult, and his family did not have internet service at home. Deneffy’s grades crashed. His school offered help with homework. But AP reported the boy said that he really wanted a therapist.Deneffy spoke to the school’s “psychiatric social worker” to see if she could help him get mental health counseling. But demand for such help increased sharply during the pandemic.In 2021, an opinion study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 42 percent of high school students said they felt sad or hopeless a lot compared to 28 percent ten years before.After leaving the apartment shared with Castillo, Deneffy’s family had another bad experience sharing a place. Then they found a place where they could live without roommates through an old friend. The apartment is small and costs $1250 to rent each month. That is more than Deneffy’s mother makes from government assistance and cleaning jobs.The 15-year-old now has a laptop computer provided by the school and a wireless connection to help with schoolwork. He has the most trouble with writing. “I never know where to put the commas and other punctuation,” he said.He also sees a therapist at school once a week. But he is worried that his family’s new living situation might change. His mother needs to find a full-time job to meet the rent payments.Speaking of his mother, Deneffy says she tells him not to worry. “But I do,” he said. “What if we don’t have money, and we get kicked out again?”I’m Mario Ritter, Jr.VOCABULARY1. unify v. to bring together or combine into one; to make unified or cohesive. 统一,使统一2. superintendent n. a person who oversees or manages an organization, especially in an educational setting. 负责人,主管3.

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌说课

说课点评:在30分钟的准备时间里,读完、理解一篇800多词的商务英语文章,记住文章的结构和要点,设计出一套有理论指导、教学理念清晰、目标合理、结构完整、方法得当,最好再带点创新的教学方案,然后在10分钟的时间里,用英语条理清晰地把它展示出来,这对任何商务英语教师来讲都是一项重大的挑战。潘紫萌老师首先分析了课文,根据内容将其解构成三大部分。选手将第二部分(第3-8段)归纳成 promotion, price and place 和将第三部分(第9段)归纳成对计划进入中国市场的外国企业的忠告,这都是正确的。但是,她把第一部分(第1-2段)归纳成product,进而把前两部分归纳成营销学中著名的4P战略,这种做法有待商榷。因为课文的第1段主要讲两个问题:1)营销战略如何在中国成功,2)这些战略如何根据中国人的喜好以及对产品或服务的认知进行调整,而不是具体的产品。也许是准备的时间非常紧迫,选手对课文的理解和归纳出现了偏差。然后,潘老师分析了学生的特点。在教学模式上,她采取以学生为中心、以产出为导向的教学模式。其教学目标包括商务英语知识、商务技能和伦理价值。在具体的教学方法上,她例举了基于任务的教学、基于讨论的教学、案例教学、学生参与的测评等,并强调要综合利用线上线下教学资源。在学习测评上,她采用师生共同参与的方式,以增强教学效果。至于具体的教学步骤,她采用BOPPPS模式,再加课后作业。以上教学方案应该说中规中矩,显示出潘老师对商务英语教学的理论、模式、方法和测评等各要素有比较全面的了解。潘老师最亮眼的表现是在10分钟的时间里,用流利的英语将其教学方案展现出来,而且条理清晰,相关的教学理论、教学方法、商务知识、商务案例均了然于胸,信手拈来,同时口到手到,同步将所讲内容写到白板上,手起笔落,一气呵成。在提问阶段,潘老师的表现依旧出色,理解到位,回答中肯,表现出较高的英语基本功和商务、人文素养。不过有的回答可以再精炼一些。比如在回答第一个问题时,把EGP,EOP,EAP,ESP 的定义都讲了一遍,有点啰嗦。总而言之,潘紫萌在说课中表现突出,是一位素质比较全面、经验比较丰富的优秀商务英语教师。点评专家:陈准民

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌授课

授课点评:潘紫萌老师在本次大赛中与来自全国各地的商务英语优秀教师展开激烈角逐,在教学理念、教学方法、课堂设计、英语素质、商务知识、教姿教态、师生互动等方面的表现都较突出,最后以总分第一荣获特等奖。潘老师以准确的英语发音先声夺人,丰富的表达方式、适中的语调语速和端庄的教姿教态也令人印象深刻。在课程设计环节,为实现其教学目标,她选择business ethics作为主题,介绍了教学目标、学生特征、以学生为中心和以产出为导向的教学理念,以及线上线下结合、传统和高科技媒体结合等丰富多彩的教学方式。这份介绍全面立体但简明扼要,为后面的演示(demo)课提供了一个很好的支撑。由于大赛的授课时间有限,潘老师突出重点,在演示课上只展示教学方案的第三步,即participatory learning 1 和 post assessment 1。她采用BOPPPS(bridge in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post assessment, summary)模型,通过德国大众汽车减排作假、中国支付宝公益植树项目等案例,教学目标涵盖商务英语知识、技能、以及相关的伦理和价值观等。在短短的十几分钟里要达到这么多项教学目标绝非易事。潘老师通过一系列的短视频、多种教学方法(如听力填空、案例讨论、汉译英、样本对话补正等)以及活泼的师生互动,较好地实现了教学目标,显示出选手突出的课堂组织能力。商务英语教学起源于英美等国,因此基本使用本国素材、讲本国故事。传入中国后,主要使用外国素材、讲外国故事。令人欣喜的是,潘老师注意突出中国特色,多次引用中国案例,讲授中国故事,传播中国价值观。加上她出色的英语基本功和良好的师生互动,使得教学过程十分流畅,也没有不同文化同场展示的违和感。总而言之,潘紫萌老师在授课环节的各方面表现都很优秀。不足之处当然也有。首先, 8’13’’开始的讨论过于仓促,只有18秒, 8’31’’就结束了。由于讨论不充分,在随后的问答环节中,更多的回答似乎来自老师而不是学生。第二个是要增加教学过程的自然自发 (spontaneity)。不知是因为课前多次排练还是老师特意要求,学生的产出只有一次对话(17’40’’)相对自然,其他的多次回答虽准确无误,但都像中国小学生朗读课文或回答问题,语音、语调、语速都过于整齐合一,这不利于培养学生的英语实际表达能力。点评专家:陈准民
