Teaching procedures:
Step1 Lead –in
T: During last periods, we have learnt some basic ideas of the UN and the UN
Goodwill ambassador. And this period we will learn more about the UN.
Before starting our class, I’d like to ask you a question: When you’re ill and
go to the hospital, what is the first thing you will do?
S: To register and know which clinic room is the right one.
T: Yes, that’s it! First you have to know what the problem is, and then find the
correct ways to cure. You can not go straight forward to the hospital and find
a doctor at random and ask for treatment.
T: And that’s the same to the international aid. Today, we’ll learn the connected
organizations of the UN and try to get a further understanding of the proper
organizations to help people around the world. Now, according to what we
have learned before, and the news you’ve heard of from newspaper and the
Internet, talk with your partner: What problems harass the world?
After several minutes.
T: What problems have you found?
S: Famine, wars, flood, natural disasters, poverty and also disease.
Write these down on the blackboard.
T: Correct! And do you know the right organizations in the UN that can help
solve these problems?
S: Not exactly.
T: Well, read Part A in Word power and discuss with your partner to find the right
organizations that can solve the problems you have mentioned above.
Step2 Learning through reading
Show the chart the students have done in the previous period and ask them to add
the new information they’ve learned about.
Problem Cause Organization
peacekeeping war, fighting
Famine Shortage of food
Flooding Typhoon
Irrigation Difficult to farm
disease Lack of doctors, no money, far away from a hospital
No running water or electricity and few schools poverty
Then ask the students to remember the organizations in the chart.
Step3 Practice
T: Well, that’s it. Now tell me whether these organizations are governmental or not?
S: They’re non-governmental.
T: And how many types can these organizations be classified into?
S: Special agencies, World Bank Group and Programs and funds.
T: Correct! You have learned the types of the UN organizations and what these
organizations aim at. Now finish Parts B& C.
Step4 Acronyms
T: Do you think the full names of the organizations are too long so that it’s very
inconvenient to talk about them. Here is a good means to shorten the names.
That is, keep the first letter of each word consisting of the full name. We call the
shortened names acronyms. Here are two examples. Let’s look at Part D.
After talking about this part, say:
T: Now, it’s your turn to work out the following acronyms using the information on
page 54.
