Teaching Reflection

In this class, it practices the students’ speaking ability, so they can improve their spoken English. Meanwhile, it can encourage students to carry out group work, so they can share information with each other and develop their cooperative spirits; however, time is limited, we only have 40 minutes for a class, so we don’t have enough time to do reading, listening and writing parts. They are not enough, so we will have some reading, listening and writing tasks next class. At that time, it will practice students’ other abilities. All in all, Teachers’ role is not only to teach knowledge, but also to cultivate student’s interests and abilities to learn something new, that’s also the reason why we have many activities in the class.
