Part 5 Teaching and learning methods

It’s generally known that the aims of learning English in the junior middle school is to improve the students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. According to the new course standard, make the students the real masters in class while the teacher himself acts as a director. So I will mainly use the communicative teaching method and situational teaching method.

The students have the basic background of English. So I will mainly use the task-based learning method and cooperative learning method.
