教学反思
In this teaching process, through multimedia means such as pictures and videos to introduce the course, students' interest has been successfully aroused. In the listening training part, when students practiced for the first time, they did not capture some information accurately enough. However, through repeated listening and explanations, most students were able to master it. In the group activity session, students showed high enthusiasm and were able to communicate using the learned knowledge, but some students still had some grammar mistakes in their expressions.
In future teaching, more training on students' listening skills should be strengthened, such as predicting in advance and grasping key words. At the same time, more language output opportunities should be given to students, and their mistakes should be corrected in time to improve the accuracy of their language expressions. In addition, students can be guided to understand more about traditional Chinese culture to enhance their cultural confidence.
