VI. Teaching Reflection
In this class, through various teaching methods such as pictures, recordings and group work, students showed great interest in learning. They actively participated in different activities, which improved their language skills to a certain extent. For example, in the group work of giving advice, students could communicate with each other in English and come up with many creative ideas. However, there were also some problems. Some students were still a little shy to speak English in front of the class during the pair work and group presentation. In the future teaching, more encouragement and more chances should be given to these students. Also, when explaining some difficult language points, the examples might not be vivid enough for some students to fully understand. It is necessary to find more interesting and practical examples to help students master the knowledge better.
