The Unit 8 is around the topic “The neighborhood” , In this unit, the students are going to learn to ask for and give directions on the street. Also, the students are going to learn “There be” structure, where questions and propositions of place. Asking way is usual in our daily life. I’ll set up a relaxing atmosphere to arouse the students’ interest and improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Part 2 Teaching guideline
As we all know people learn a language in order to communicate. As a language teacher, I realize that it’s important to develop the students’ communication competence. It seems to me there are three points to improve it. First, lay special emphasis on developing listening/reading/speaking/writing skills. Second, let the students understand the daily conversation better. Third, practice the spoken English more to improve the ability to communicate freely.

It’s generally known that the aims of learning English in th e junior middle school is to improve the students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. There are different teaching methods, such as five-step teaching method, audio-visual teaching method, task-based language teaching. In this lesson I’ll mainly use “Task-based” teaching method. That is” learning by doing” “doing things with the language”. I’ll give the students some tasks and arrange some activities: watching pictures, talking, role-play the conversation, pair/group work.
