As the society develops, the general public has higher requirements for middle school English teaching and the teachers. “Undoubtedly, teaching of reading is a big part in English teaching, which plays an indispensable role in developing the students’ ability of applying language comprehensively”(Ren, 2012: 33). Therefore the author analyzed students and teaching methods to give some ideas of the teaching of reading.
1.Analysis of the students
The students are Grade 8. As humanity majors, they have grasped common knowledge of how to communicate with friends, inviting friends to their home for a fun time. They are active thinkers and they would like to attend excited parties. They’ve got to know some basic grammar points and some sentence patterns to show their feelings. So more pair activities, group activities are needed to strengthen their team spirit and self -confidence, activities that can help them shape awareness of the whole world, sense of responsibility for the nation are also necessary here.
2.Analysis of teaching materials
The textbook New Standard English (NSE) can be divided into the following parts: Vocabulary and speaking; Reading and vocabulary; Grammar; Listening and vocabulary; Pronunciation; Speaking; Writing, Everyday English and function; Cultural corner; Task. Wang said that: NSE is associated with the features of times, society, reality, life and profound thought which reflects the newest situations of politics, economy, cultural technology, education, health, art, etc. in the world. It covers large amount of various information and knowledge and focus on training students’ skills and strategies of listening, speaking, reading and writing (2006: 33).
3.Analysis of teaching methods
Considering the reading material and students’ actual situations, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) method is chosen as the main teaching approach in this class.
TBLT is an approach to second or foreign language education that integrates theoretical and empirical foundations for good pedagogy with a focus on tangible learning outcomes in the form of ‘tasks’—that is, what learners are able to do with the language. Task-based practice draws on diverse sources, including philosophy of education, theories of second language acquisition, and research-based evidence about effective instruction (Norris, 2009: 578). Therefore, TBLT method seems very suitable for teaching of reading and should be involved with open task activities and inquiry learning content. So TBLT is designed as the main approach in this lesson.
According to the analysis of students, teaching material and methods, we can see TBLT is the best way to teach. This method can help the students boost communicative and cooperative abilities, help the students grasp both the language knowledge and skills. But there are also some limitations as we can not only rely on TBLT only. Further studies may adopt other teaching methods in the teaching process.
