教学反思
In this class, students showed great interest in the topic of money, which was reflected in their active participation in class discussions. However, some students still had difficulties in using the newly learned vocabulary and sentence patterns accurately in speaking and writing. In the future, more practice activities, such as role - playing real - life money - related scenarios, should be designed to strengthen their language application ability.
The reading and listening materials were at an appropriate difficulty level for most students, but a few students had trouble understanding long sentences and complex information. For these students, more pre - teaching of key language points and step - by - step guidance in reading and listening strategies are needed.
The group discussion in the speaking part promoted students' cooperation and communication skills. However, some groups spent too much time on unimportant details. In future classes, more specific guidance on how to organize group discussions efficiently should be provided. Overall, through this class, students have increased their knowledge of money management and improved their English language skills to a certain extent, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and student learning effects.
