Teaching Reflection:
In this class, students have mastered key sentence patterns about natural disasters and finished listening and speaking tasks well. Most students can express their feelings about disasters with correct pronunciation and proper intonation.
Role-play activities greatly stimulate students’ interest, but a few shy students lack participation.
In the follow-up teaching, more chances should be offered for shy students to practice. Meanwhile, more real-life materials will be added to help students use what they have learned more flexibly.
