二、学习者特征分析

 

  Students in Grade 8 are more curious about the world, especially during the adolescence. Some students spend their time on computer games and appearance rather than studies. The learning material in grade 8 is also more difficult and challenging than grade 7. Therefore, some students lose interests in English learning and don’t have confidence in making progress, which is one of the reasons why the level varies greatly among grade eight students. What’s more, all the students in the class are from countryside, most of them do not have solid foundation of English. Therefore, the teacher should give them more opportunities to speak English while talking about the TV shows. Through cooperative learning, students’ learning difficulty can be reduced. Students of all levels will experience the joy of success, improve their ability to use language comprehensively, and make rapid progress.
