Most of them have taken a great interest in English now, but there is still stability. They have a great curiosity and are eager to get knowledge. For English, they are surprised at it and be worried. They hope they can gain others affirm. Therefore, I try my best to make them take part in activities, which let them speak English as much as possible and reduce their anxiety.5 Teaching methods.As we all know, the main instructional aims of learning English in the middle school is to cultivate students abilities of listening、speaking、reading 、writing and their good sense of the English language. So I will mainly use “Communicative” and “Task-based” teaching method. Otherwise, I will use pair work, group work to let the students take an active part in all kinds of activities. That is “l(fā)earning by doing, learning by using”, let the students be the masters of the class. Thus, students centered teaching method is well-shown.6 Teaching aidsPPT7 Teaching procedures Step 1Lead-inAt first, a photo of Jay Chou will be presented on the screen, and I will put forward some questions about him.Eg: who is he?What does he do?Is he a famous singer?Do you like him?What is he doing?he is singingThen, a song of“What are you doing” will be played.It is well-known that teenagers like famous singers, when they see the photo and listen to music, they will be very excited and interested in itReview Simple Present Tense through the photo and lead to Present Progressive.It aims to arouse students interest so that they can be concentrated on the class better.Moreover, it can also create a relaxed and delightful atmosphere for them Step 2PresentationI am talking, what are you doing?
