A letter to ADAM SILVER on Statement设计说明
郑州市第十一中学谷战峰
《普通高中英语课程标准（2017版）》明确提出，英语教学要培养学生的语言能力、文化意识、思维能力和学习能力。语言能力是指在社会情境中，以听、说、读、看、写等方式理解和表达意义、意图及情感态度的能力。语言的使用一定是在社会情境中发生的，它不可能脱离情境。语言在社会情境中的主要使用途径其实就是通过听、说、读、写四种方式。
那么，我们在社会情境中，通过听、说、读、看、写的方式，希望达到什么目的？是要达到理解和表达意义、意图、情感态度，传递自己的情感态度和价值观念的目的。所以语言能力并不是仅仅要学习知识，或者发展某一方面的技能，其落脚点是为了理解和表达意义、意图，还有传递情感态度和价值观。
课例的设计取材于CHINA DAILY对于“火箭队”事件的新闻报道，旨在通过设计听、读、说、写的活动，培养学生对于英语新闻报道的解读和分析能力，形成逻辑思维，建构正确的价值观。
通过第一课时的铺垫，学生对于“火箭队”事件的来龙去脉有了大致了解，并且形成了自己的观点意见。在第二个课时，让学生阅读NBA总裁ADAM SILVER的第二次的声明，进一步了解事件的进展，并且通过书信写作的方式，让学生提炼要点，训练思维，形成正确认知。
教学步骤：
1. 回顾“火箭队”要凉凉事件；
2. 重申外交部对于此次事件的态度；
3. 对于ADAM SILVER的二次声明划重点；
4. 分析一封CHINA DAILY上刊载的致ADAM SILVER的一封信；
5. 学生模仿写作，实现“学习理解--实践应用--迁移创新”

NBA Commissioner ADAM SILVER Statement On the NBA and CHINA
I recognize our initial statement left people angered, confused or unclear on who we are or what the NBA stands for. Let me be more clear.
Over the last three decades, the NBA has developed a great affinity for the people of China. We have seen how basketball can be an important form of people-to-people exchange that deepens ties between the United States and China.
At the same time, we recognize that our two countries have different political systems and beliefs. And like many global brands, we bring our business to places with different political systems around the world.
But for those who question our motivation, this is about far more than growing our business.
Values of equality, respect and freedom of expression have long defined the NBA — and will continue to do so. As an American-based basketball league operating globally, among our greatest contributions are these values of the game.
In fact, one of the enduring strengths of the NBA is our diversity — of views, backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and religions. Twenty-five percent of NBA players were born outside of the United States and our colleagues work in league offices around the world, including in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei.
With that diversity comes the belief that whatever our differences, we respect and value each other; and, what we have in common, including a belief in the power of sports to make a difference, remains our bedrock principle.
It is inevitable that people around the world — including from America and China — will have different viewpoints over different issues. It is not the role of the NBA to adjudicate those differences.
However, the NBA will not put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees and team owners say or will not say on these issues. We simply could not operate that way.
Basketball runs deep in the hearts and minds of our two peoples. At a time when divides between nations grow deeper and wider, we believe sports can be a unifying force that focuses on what we have in common as human beings rather than our differences.
