    Hi, Yu Xin. I think the topic you have chosen is really meaningful and it will stimulate the interest of most of the students. However, I have some questions about the activities you have designed. For example, in the warm-up activity, the teacher introduces some wild animals to the students. Do students need to know the meaning and pronunciation of these wildlife words, and will mastery of these words scaffold them in subsequent activities? And what is the point of having students listen to the short audio recording of the text to answer the questions in this reading lesson? In addition, I think the assessment activity you have designed look like a writing task and do not assess students' reading skills. Moreover, since the homework is also a writing task, wouldn't two writing tasks be a bit too much for the students?

The Attempt of Communicative Teaching Method by a New Teacher

My Teaching Philosophy In the 1970s, a ‘sociolinguistic revolution’ happened, where the emphasis given in linguistic to grammar was replaced by an interest in ‘language in use. Hymes (1970) paper ‘ on communicative competence’ was mentioned, with its exploration of the notion of ‘the appropriate’ as a dimension important in language studies. When I came to the Undergraduate University, these classes mainly focus on the basic knowledge of the language. Until I was in my junior year, I began to learn some knowledge of teaching. At the same time, I read some books such as introduction to Foreign Language Learning and Teaching by Keith Johnson, a course in language teaching method by Wangqiang, and so on. By a period time of learning, I find the communicative teaching method is helpful for my teaching in the future.  In China, what many English teachers do in the classes is to help students get a grade in the exam. So many students including myself find their spoken English is poor whe...

The Way to Climb the Mountain of a Qualified Teacher After the National College Entrance Examination, I choose English education as my major in the University. The reason why I choose this major is that I don’t want to learn math anymore. But when I begin to learn this major, I find it was not as easy as I imagined. The first difficulty I meet was to remember the general introduction of English-speaking countries. At the beginning of learning the course, I can’t even remember the names of so many countries. Then I found a map of English-speaking countries. It’s easy for me to remember names and locations according to a map. This also builds good basics for the preparation of the Graduate Entrance Examination.     During the process of preparing for the Graduate Entrance Examination, I read a lot of books about the culture of English-speaking countries and some pedagogical theories. This knowledge is really meaningful for me, which is not only useful for my exam but also useful...
