二、学习者特征分析
After entering the seventh grade, students are just at the beginning stage. Most students are still unfamiliar with English, have a certain sense of freshness, but have a high enthusiasm for learning, which is the advantage of English learning. However, students have just come into contact with English, and their knowledge is relatively poor, so they are easy to lose confidence. Therefore, teachers should make use of students' enthusiasm and curiosity, combine with their reality, start from their life, and cultivate their English learning habits. At the same time, encourage students to be positive, arouse their interest, pay attention to the cultivation of listening and speaking ability, and lay a good foundation for later English learning. Students are in the stage of forming values. The purpose of this course is to let students understand the importance of harmonious coexistence between human and nature, and cultivate people who need society by cultivating their love for animals.
