She has done a lot of great things for girls' education. Today, we are going to learn more about her through listening."

教学反思
After this class, students generally showed a strong interest in Zhang Guimei's story, which effectively motivated them to learn. In the process of teaching, the pre - listening vocabulary teaching and prediction activities helped students better understand the listening material. However, some students still had difficulties in accurately capturing detailed information during listening, which may be due to their insufficient listening speed and lack of practice. In future teaching, more targeted listening training should be carried out, such as gradually increasing the difficulty of listening materials and guiding students to use more effective listening strategies.
In the post - listening discussion and presentation, most students actively participated, but there were still a few students who were too shy to speak. Teachers need to pay more attention to these students and encourage them to express themselves bravely. Overall, through this class, students not only improved their listening skills but also received ideological education, which achieved the expected teaching goals to a certain extent. However, continuous improvement and adjustment are still needed to better meet the learning needs of students.
