I. New Curriculum Standards
The English curriculum standards for compulsory education focus on four key areas: language skills, cultural awareness, thinking skills, and learning skills. In "Animal Friends" (1a - 1d), students will learn animal - related English, understand animal - related cultures, and improve thinking and learning abilities through different activities.
II. Teaching Material
The teaching material from 1a - 1d is about "Animal Friends", especially Thai elephants. 1a gives key words about elephants. 1b is a listening part for getting elephant facts. 1c has a reading passage about Thai Elephant Day and elephants, with questions. 1d asks students to make a mind - map from the reading to organize knowledge.

VII. Teaching Reflection
Employing pictures and videos at the start of the class effectively aroused students' curiosity and enthusiasm, drawing them into the topic. Group activities like the word - matching game and group discussions not only made the learning process more engaging but also significantly boosted students' participation. It was encouraging to see them collaborating and expressing their ideas with confidence.
However, I became aware of some areas that need improvement. I didn't manage to fully address the diverse learning needs of students. For instance, students with weaker language skills had a tough time understanding complex sentences in the reading material and using new vocabulary accurately. I should have provided more personalized support during class.
Moreover, the exploration of cultural content was rather superficial. Although students were introduced to the cultural significance of elephants in Thai culture, we didn't delve deep enough into the underlying reasons and cultural backgrounds. This led to a relatively shallow understanding among students.
In future classes, I plan to focus more on individual differences. I'll prepare additional materials and offer more one - on - one guidance for students who need extra help. When it comes to cultural teaching, I'll incorporate more in - depth discussions, real - life examples, and cultural stories to enhance students' understanding.
