Step 1: Lead-in activities (35 min.)

Lead-in Activities:

1.Pre-reading Questions: (25 min.)

Language is a mirror, in front of which culture is colorfully reflected. Do you agree with this statement? What is the relationship between the regional culture and dialect?

Listening comprehension

2.Video Clips(10 min.)

Do people speak the same language always understand each other? How does some misunderstanding happen? Why?

Step 2: Background information(10 min.)

According to M. Halliday, a dialect is “just a sum of variants having a strong tendency to co-occur”.

The term dialect is used in two distinct ways. One usage-the more common among linguists-refers to a variety of a language that is a characteristic of a particular group of the language s speakers. The term is applied most often to regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class. A dialect that is associated with a particular social class can be termed a sociolect; a dialect that is associated with a particular ethnic group can be termed as ethnolect, and a regional dialect may be termed a regiolect or topolect. According to this definition, any variety of a language constitutes “a dialect”, including any standard varieties.

The other usage refers to a language that is socially subordinated to a regional or national standard language, often historically cognate to the standard, but not derived from it. In this sense, the standard language is not itself considered a dialect.

A dialect is distinguished by its vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation (phonology, including prosody). The term accent may be preferred over dialect. Other types of speech varieties include jargons, which are characterized by differences in lexicon (vocabulary): slang: patois; pidgins; and argots.

Step 3:Text structure of Passage A( 20 mins)

  Ask students to read text A by skimming and scanning and then try to fill in the blanks of each piece of main idea.

The passage can be divided into three parts:

The first part (Para. 1) serves as an introduction. The author raises the question on people's familiarity with their        .

The second part (Para. 2-4) serves as a body. Given the fact that people seldom speak their dialect far away from home, the author talks about the                      

       for this phenomenon and also the       people are attempting to use to protect it.

The third part (Para. 5) serves as a conclusion. The       of the dialect is hard to tell. It depends on the development and         within today's society.

Step 4: Language Comprehension( 30 mins)

Discuss the language points in Para1-2.

Step 5: Summary( 5 mins)
