Teaching Reflection
1. In the group discussion part, some students were too shy to express their opinions actively. In the future, more encouragement and guidance should be given to these students. 2. The time for peer - review in the writing task was a bit tight, so students may not have had enough time to give in - depth feedback. It is necessary to adjust the time allocation in the next class.
