V. Teaching evaluation Modern English teaching emphasizes focusing on students’ development, respecting students’

different characters and emotions, and leading students to finish learning tasks actively. At the same time, for most of our students, the language learning environment is not good enough. They don’t have chances to express themselves.

Also, they are shy and unconfident to express themselves. As a result, most of our students are weak in listening and speaking. Considering these characteristics of students, I would like to use the incentive evaluation and process evaluation.

VI. Teaching thoughts 1. My main thought is to focus on students. Through different levels of exercises, I will try to encourage everyone to join in the class.

2. The teacher plays a key role in creating practical communication context and helps students develop cooperative study.
