IV、Student Analysis学生学情分析
The students in Grade Eight have learned how to describe the past events before, though they don’t know much about it, they have shown their confidence in learning English. They can describe the pictures, and exchange their information according to the familiar topic. They are good at imitation, they are eager to show their abilities. So, in this way, students are encouraged to fulfill some small tasks to enhance the ability of solving problems through interaction in a target language.
The more advanced students wish to challenge each other with new vocabulary and create original dialogues using key grammar and vocabulary items. The less advanced students may benefit from pairwork and groupwork, because the more fluent students may help them, so they may have the chance to practise.
