Introduction：

This unit seeks to give students a better understanding of how English developed and how it is spoken in the world. Students often hear talk about "Standard English". In fact, as this unit hopes to make clear, there is no such thing as one standard of spoken or written English.

English is spoken in many countries throughout the world and many of them have different forms of expression. British English is spoken in those countries that were once part of the British Empire or influenced by the USA after the Second World War.

第一部分：预习案

1.. Read the following passage and answer the question.

Who decides how English is spoken around the world? Do teachers in the colleges and schools? What about those who write dictionaries or books. Do they decide what is good and what is bad English? Or do governments decide when a language will change? Probably you have though about this question once or twice before. The answer is that none of these people decide how English will be spoken. Believe it or not, many of the biggest changes in how English is spoken have come from common people in the streets. And one of the most important places where English has changed is on the playground! These playgrounds can be any place where young people meet, such as a sports field or a bench. For example, black kids invented many new words in American English as they played basketball or music. Often words used by black kids in the big cities become popular with other kids many years later. Another popular sport, baseball, has also given many words and expressions to American English.

Question:

Who invented many new words in American English while playing basketball or music?
