Unit 1 Integrated Skills & Study Skills

Teaching analysis
Analysis of teaching material
The integrated skills part can be divided into two parts: the listening part and the speaking part. This listening part is about Japan. Students are expected to get some information about their arrangement in Japan from the listening material. The topic can easily attract the students’ attention as students can get some travel advice. In the speaking part, Annie and Simon talk about Singapore. The teacher can also encourage students to talk about the country they know using this dialogue as a model.
