Teaching Ideology
Teaching reading is a very important part in English teaching. Many studies have been conducted in order to develop a better and effective way of reading. There are several types of reading teaching models: the top-down model, the down-top model and the interactive model. Nowadays, we tend to adopt the interactive model of teaching reading, which is the combination of the first two models. So in my lesson plan, this model will be used.
With the curriculum reform in China, the new curriculum has been widely promoted in China until now. The new curriculum promotes communicative approach to develop students’ comprehensive language competence. According to the functional linguistic view, on one hand, language learning should focus on language use, not only on language knowledge learning; on the other hand, real communication should be used in classes.
At the same time, based on the theory of communicative language learning, many tasks are designed to be finished by students under the lead of teacher. Through real communication in classes, students realize how to apply English into use. Furthermore, the language class should be students-oriented. At the same time, students’ lifetime development is taken into consideration in language classes. Under the guidance and the help of teacher, students develop their language skills, good study habits and effective learning strategies in an integrated way through real
communication learning environment. Moreover students can feel some cultural awareness in the process of language learning.
Learner profiles
The class will consist of 50-60 students from grade one, senior. According to investigation of the students, the number of female and male students is almost the same. The average level of the students is a little higher than the other classes in the school, but the level of the class is different, great individual difference exists, so more attention should be paid to keep the balance of tasks designing.
