By the end of the class, students will have a good understanding of a play by reading and acting and are able to relate to others’ feelings and learn to deal with the growing pains in a wiser way.As we all know, reading belongs to the input during the process of the language learning. The input has great effect on output, such as speaking and writing.) Therefore, this lesson is in the important position of this unit. If the Ss can master it well, it will be helpful for them to learn the rest of this unit.

Part 4 Teaching Methods

As is known to us all, a good teaching method requires that the teacher should help Ss develop good sense of the English language. For achieving these teaching aims, (after the analysis of the teaching material and teaching aims,) I will use the following methods according to the modern social a785bmunication teaching theories(现代社会交际教学理论) .

1.  Communicative Approach(交际教学法)

2.  Whole Language Teaching(整体语言教学法)

3.  Task-based Language Teaching (任务教学法)

4.  Total Situational Action (情景教学) a “scene — activity” teaching method , it establishes a real scene and the interaction between the teacher and the Ss. At the same time, CAI (电脑辅助教学) can provide a real situation with its sound and picture, it can develop the Ss creativity in learning English.
