Teaching Reflection
The lesson successfully covered the present continuous tense, polite phone call expressions, and the pronunciation of letter“u”as planned. Students actively participated in picture discussions and role-plays, showing good engagement in practice activities.However,some students had difficulty accurately applying the “subject + verb be+v.-ing”structure in their own conversations. To address this,I will provide more targeted practice next time.
