二、学习者特征分析

 

Students in Grade Seven show great interest in English and they have acquired some basic knowledge of English. But they are still week in English writing. They prefer to do some interesting activities, such as watching video and pictures. In order to catch their attention, teacher should make the class funny and colorful and avoid teaching the language points by total teacher orientation. At the same time, students' oral English and listening skills are poor, so speaking and listening practice must be designed in specific teaching tasks. Thus students of all levels will experience the joy of success, improve their ability to use language comprehensively, and make rapid progress.
