The ultimate goal of the new syllabus is to develop senior students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, through which students will form good habits of learning languages as well as creative thinking, critical thinking and noble personalities. Teaching should be integrated with whatever methodologies that will contribute to students’ active participation in the class and their ability to analyze and to tackle problems.

(ⅱ)Analysis of target material
There are two articles on traveling in Canada in Unit 5 Canada---”The True North”, Module 3, which are A Trip on “the True North”and “The True North” from Toronto to Montreal. A Trip on “the True North” is the first lesson, which deals with their travel story in a narrative, introducing Canada to readers with general information like geography, history, scenery and culture and customs. As the contents are outdated, new supplementary materials are needed, which include extra information on the Calgary Stampede and a video featuring Canada as a popular traveling destination.
There are 5 warming-up questions on Canada to activate students’ background knowledge about Canada, and these questions need to be adapted by the teacher as the 5 questions alone are not able to serve their purpose.
