二、学习者特征分析
Eighth-grade English plays a connecting role in middle school English teaching, which is not only the derivative of the seventh grade but also the foreshadowing of the ninth grade. Although the students have two years of English learning experience, they have different ways of learning. The content of this unit is closely related to the life of the students. In the process of learning in this unit, food will stimulate students’ interest in learning English. Most of the students in the class are from the countryside, and each student has his own cooking experience, so when describing the steps of cooking, the students will have an idea in mind, which will help students to learn this unit better.
