二、学习者特征分析

Most students of the eighth grade have not studied English in depth yet, so they are generally interested in English and they have strong curiosity. They have a strong desire to speak English, which requires teachers to often provide opportunities for them to communicate with each other, such as group activities, so that they can express their own views. In junior high school, students’ cognitive competence is constantly improved and their ability of thinking is also enhanced. But some of them are naughty and they often lose their concentration. Therefore, teachers should actively encourage them and arouse their interest in learning. Teachers should interact more with students in class, create an interesting classroom atmosphere, and let students learn happily.
