Ⅶ.Teaching reflection
In this lesson ,I mainly adopt repeating, practicing, comparing, role-playing and task-based learning methods. I try to make students learn by reading ,listening ,and practicing .Students learn the key and difficult language points by finishing the tasks .When teaching new words and phrases ,students can learn better .I also arrange individual work, pair work and group work to practice .Students are willing to learn , speak and write in class , I think they can improve their listening and writing skills and spoken English in class .At the same time, it can make Ss know each other better and increase the friendship between them. It can also arouse their thoughts of loving studying and form good life habbits.
