八年级下册Unit1 Past and Present Integrated Skills Analysis of students:The subject of my students is the junior school students in Grade 2. Concerning students’psychology,they can be described in these three ways, motivation, confidence, and pressure. For students in Grade 2, they are suffered from the pressure of entering Grade 3,the final grade in junior school. Their motivation and confidence will be changed through this special period. Motivation includes instrumental motivation and integrative motivation. Compared to integrative motivation, most of students’ motivation tends to the instrumental one. For them, they learn English with the purpose of entering a good high school. Therefore, Almost of them are compelled to learn English. They get English knowledge in a passive way. They can get ideal marks in a short time, but their language ability is little likely to improve. In terms of confidence, their confidence will be reduced because of their pressure.As for cognitive ability, for students in junior school, they should have remembered no less than 1600 words and 300 phrases. In fact, most of them still can’t grasp the words completely. Since most of them are weak at English, this part is a little hard for them. Besides, students can understand the single words or phrases but they find it difficult to understand the whole passage through the recording. For language use, students can only make up simple sentences. Their oral abilities still needto be improved.Analysis of teaching material:The English book contains two modules. The first one is Travel in time and space. Another is Rights and responsibilities.Unit1, Past and Present, as the part of Module 1, shows students the different changes happen in their life. Students are able to notice the changes of transport, environment and living conditions.

They would like to communicate with each other and take part in class, so it provides a good atmosphere in class.During this class, I mainly use cooperative learning method to let students think about their own past and present life. On one hand, students can play an active part in class by working in groups.On the other hand, group work affects those students’ confidence if their English are not good enough.Not everyone in the group can fulfill the tasks I have given to them. Therefore, how to divide students into different groups is a very important issue. In order to solve this problem, I will try to give different groups different tasks next time.Listening and speaking abilities are essential to students’ English learning. It will be better if I find more materials for them to consolidate.。
