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.
