Change IX. Common Teachers should employ proper teaching methods and techniques to satisfy the students’ needs. The students are in great need of instructions on how to be successful language learners. Teachers should train them with some effective teaching method to optimize their learning results.

My lesson plan is designed on the basis of these two principles. The questions in my teaching plan are raised for the purpose of arousing the students' interests and aimed to help the students to concentrate on reading passage. At the same time, the students are able to master some writing skills according to the text. As for the language points, they are presented and practiced related to students' life as much as possible. This way of teaching language points is employed in the hope that students will find them easier to understand and retain, and that they can use some of them immediately in their daily life.
