Step 8 Read and complete the table.

(第二次借助智能平台，完成人机对话口语训练及智能测评)

Step 10. Imitate. 

Just now you all did a good job and I believe you will do better if you pay more attention to the stressed words.

You know when we read English, we often stress the content words, such as verbs, nouns and so on, to stress our key points. Take these 2 sentences for example. Let's listen and find out the stressed words. Listen.

I'm washing the car right now.So what are the stressed words?Now, you, please. Washing and car. Good, washing and car. So I'm sure you read it well. Please give me a try. I'm washing the car right now. Oh, good pronunciation. Thank you.

And Sentence 2, let's listen. Thanks. Are you having fun in China. You, please.So what are the stressed words? Thanks and have fun in China. Wow, you have got them. Now. Can you read it?Thanks, are you having fun in China? OK, you can read after me. Thanks. Are you having fun in China? Good. I can see your progress. Thanks.

Now let's do more practice. When you imitate, please pay attention to all the stressed words and you need to read with feeling, OK? OK. Here we go.

Is mom there too? Is she feeling better? Come on.

Yes, her cold is gone? She's gardening. Hold on. Here is mom.

Hi mom, how are you doing?

Good, thanks. It's great to hear your voice.

Yours too! I’m happy that you are feeling better.

OK, wait a minute. Let's see our report. Oh, Team B, you did a good job today. You can get to the next station and Team A, come on, OK? And now let's see. The best one is from group B, Cao Xitong. Clap for her. Let's enjoy one of her sentence. OK, this one.Yes, her cold is gone. She is gardening. Hold on. Here is mom. Oh, you sound like a native speaker. Now and I can see, here is a low score. It’s from Wei Jiale. Who’s Wei Jiale? Hands up. It doesn’t matter. Let’s listen and improve it, OK? Now, listen. This one. Now stand up, please. When you read, read it clearly, OK? So can you read it again?Yes. Hi, mom. How are you doing? Much better. Sit down, please. （第三次借助智能平台完成跟读模拟及测评数据反馈, 及时表扬和查漏补缺）

Step 11. Role-play. 

Now, boys and girl, let’s go on. Anyway, you all did a good job just now. Let’s make this conversation more fun. Do you want to be actors?Let's make this conversation more fun. Yes, then let's work in groups and act out the conversation.

I want to say not only your minds but also your emotions and body language. Clear?

Two minutes for you. Go. Work in groups. Go. Turn around. Yeah, and role-play this conversation.

OK, time is up.Which group wants to try?You, please. OK, please come here. Come here. Yeah, be quick. And Hao Yi and Jane, you are in China. Jane’s mom, you are in the UK. Are you ready? Here we go.  

(Students’ role-play….)

Oh, thank you. Please come here and show your zongzi to us. Hold it. OK. Nice teamwork.

Boys and girls, now let’s evaluate their presentation.Did they have standard pronunciation?Yes.Did they speak fluently?Yes. Did they have a vivid performance? Yes. 

Then you are group B. You just reached the finish line.

Step 12. Read and analyze. 

OK, now, look! When we are far apart, we can still make a phone call.

But how can we make a phone call in English? The first step is to…?Yes, start the call. At last we need to….?Yes, end the call. And in a body part, what can we talk about?You, please. Show care and talk about activities. Wow, how clever you are! Yes, we can also show our care and talk about activities. (将对话进行篇章结构分析，提炼目标语言，为学生后续的迁移创新任务提供语言支架）

Now work in groups. Each group choose one topic. Read and find out more sentences. Write them down on your paper. One minute for you. Go.

OK, time is up. Who wants to share here? Come on, just come on. OK, stand here. Who will talk about start the call? Here we go.

To start the call, we can say, “ Hello/ hi, it…. /this is… speaking. Hello, who's it? May I ask who's calling?” Excellent. Now, put it on the backboard.

Now, you please. To show care, we can say, “How are you? /How's life in…? /How are you doing?/Are you feeling better? Fine, thank you.” Wonderful! Put it on the whiteboard. and go back to your seat. And you?

To talk about activities, we can say, “What are you doing?/ Are you…?/ I am OK.” Good job. And the last one?

To end the call, we can say “I have to go now. We can talk later. Bye.” Yeah, put it up. Go back to your seat.

Well, you are excellent learners. These sentences are helpful and useful, right? So we can use them to make a new phone call.（听后活动设计层层递进，形成了兼具信息复述，模仿朗读还有角色扮演的口语活动链）

Step 13. Group work. 

Now look! Here is a new message from Jane’s grandpa. Let’s watch.

So what are they doing?Yeah, you. They are having a birthday party. Oh, they are having birthday party. And whose birthday party is this? Whose?Jane's grandpa. Good. it's jane's grandpa's birthday. And what are family members doing now? Grandpa is…? Making a phone call.Grandma is…?Cooking. Dad is…? Washing fruit. And the mom is…?Making cake. And brother is…?Watching TV. Everyone is busy but happy.  

Now, please work in groups. Act as Janes family members and make a phone call to Jane by using thes sentence patterns. Clear?

OK, four minutes for you. Go. Work in groups.

OK. Finished? Yes. Which group want to try here? OK, come to the front, come to the front. Jane, can you hear us? Can you hear us? Hello.

OK. now here's microphone and your microphone. OK, here we go.

Jane: Happy birthday.

Grandpa: Thank you. It's good to hear your voice.

Jane: How are you these days?

Grandpa: I am fine. How about you?

Jane: I’m pretty good. I’m here making zongzi in China. Does it look delicious?

Grandpa: Yes.

Jane: And what are you doing now, grandpa?

Grandpa: I’m having a birthday party.

Jane: Oh, I want to join you too. And grandma, what are you doing?

Grandma: Oh, my dear, I'm cooking.

Jane: Oh, dad, what are you doing?

Dad: I’m washing apples.

Jane: Oh, mom, what are you doing?

Mom: I am making a cake.

Jane: Well, have a great fun. I love you and miss you all.

Together: We love you too. Good bye.

Jane: Goodbye.

Boys and girls, go back to your seats.

Today, I am so proud of you. Now, let's evaluate them.

Do they have standard pronunciation?Yes. Do they speak fluently?Yes. And do they have a good performance? Yes. 

So you are from team A. Team A, you can row your boat.（利用在线视频通话，将语言学习融入有意义的真实情景境任务中，“用中学”，同时也体现了孝亲敬老的情感教育及育人价值）

Step 14. Think further. 

Now, here is one last question for you.

Why does Jane call her parents, especially on the Dragon Boat Festival? Why?You, yes. Because she cares her family. Oh, because she cares about her family. And? How about you? Because she loves her parents. Oh, because she loves her family. Yes, good. And how about you? Because she wants to care about her family. That’s good. And how about you? Because she misses her family. 

So boys and girls, you know the Dragon Boat Festival is a great time for family reunions in China. So she misses her parents, especially on this day, just as Chinese poem says, “Alone, a lonely stranger in a foreign land, I doubly pine for kinsfolk on a holiday.”

Here is a question for you.Does Jane really feel lonely today?No. And why?because she spends the holiday with her best friends, Hou Yi. So she is very happy. She is enjoying her life with Hou Yi, right? You know, it seems that the phone call can connect Jane and her family. But in fact, what else on earth can bring us together? You, please. Friendship. Anyone else? You, please. Wherever we are, our love can bring us closer together. How about you? Our warmth. A good word. Our warmth. Anything else? Yes, you, please. That girl, microphone, please. Our care. Oh, good idea. Sit down, please.

Now boys and girls, wherever we are…, let’s read it together, go. Wherever we are, our love can bring us closer together.

Step 15. Homework. 

Oh, class is almost over. Your homework is to make a phone call or make a video to talk about the Dragon Boat Festival. 

Now class is over. See which team wins? Which team wins? B. Yes. You did a good job today. And team A, I believe you will do better next time. OK, that’s all for today. Stand up, please. Let's turn to all the teachers, thank you, thank you.（富有趣味的情境任务，具有实效性的语言活动，传递出了亲情温暖的人文温度。）
