Teaching Reflection
The lesson was engaging, with students actively discussing challenges in free-time activities and practising listening strategies. However, some found the spot dictation task challenging,so I'll incorporate more guided practice in future lessons. Overall,the objectives were met, but adjustments were needed for smoother listening exercises.【预习自学】
