Introduction to English-speaking Countries (Lesson Outlines) Foreign teachers at Chinese universities are sometimes asked to teach a course with a name such as "A General Survey of English-speaking Countries", or "An Introduction to English-speaking Countries", or similar. I taught this course for a semester in 2003, and found the lesson preparation quite overwhelming. This was especially the case since I was given very little guidance and no clear objectives. In the hope that it might be of some assistance to other teachers who find themselves in a similar situation, I have collected together some notes on how I ran the course, and the Microsoft Powerpoint presentations which I used during the lectures. Of course, I do not expect that any teacher would follow these notes to the letter, since their own lessons will naturally be influenced by their individual expertise and their ideas about teaching. I would like to make it clear that this is not an ideal teaching plan, and if I taught the course again I would certainly make some alterations.
St. Patrick's Day - Mia Smith Som språklärare utgår jag gärna från högtider i olika engelskspråkiga länder. Eleverna stöter ofta på dessa i filmer och tv-serier, och att ge dem ordentlig förförståelse är ett bra sätt att koppla ihop skolengelskan med fritidsengelskan, eller den extramurala engelskan som den också kallas. Ett av mina favoritländer är Irland, och då är St. Patrick’s Day en tacksam utgångspunkt. Jag brukar ibland ta med mig min egen tin whistle och spela en jig för eleverna, men om ni inte själva spelar tin whistle kan ni ta er an ämnet på andra sätt. Som introduktion har jag skapat en presentation i prezi kring ämnet, lagom till St. I presentationen har jag lagt in två korta filmklipp. Som en enkel avslutning har jag lånat en färdig Kahoot.

UNIT 1: DISCOVER ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES - English with Rose In this unit we'll carry out four different activities in order to learn such general facts of the English Speaking country you're working on as: - Its location in the world map.- Its flag.- Its official language.- Its currency.- Its total area.- Its President or Prime Minister (amongst other data) Lektionstips Engelska: An American in Sweden För ett antal år sedan sprang jag på en blogg av den roligare sorten. Det var en amerikan som bodde i Sverige och bloggade om sina upplevelser. Språket är verkligen autentiskt och väldigt informellt, vilket gör texten väldigt lätt att ta till sig.Jag kontaktade bloggaren och bad att få använda hans texter i undervisningen, vilket han gärna lät mig göra. Jag valde ut de avsnitt där han beskrev möten med svensk mat, som nyponsoppa, flädersaft, blodpudding och Djungelvrål. Jag skapade frågor till texterna som syftar till att både förstå innehållet och förstå vissa språkliga finurligheter. Det krävs en hel del strategier och omvärldskunskaper för att hänga med, det är svårt att förstå varför nyponsoppan plötsligt blir japansk om man inte känner till att Nippon är det japanska namnet för Japan, till exempel. Jag har använt de här övningarna i många grupper och de lockar alltid fram skratt. Enjoy!
