Teaching Reflection After this class, students should have a better understanding of the new words, phrases and the usage of target language for talking about music and bands. However, some students may still have difficulties in listening comprehension and expressing their ideas fluently. In future teaching, more listening exercises and speaking activities should be provided to help students improve these skills. Also, during pair - work and group - work, some students may not be actively involved. Teachers need to encourage them to participate more actively and create a more lively and cooperative learning atmosphere. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
