二、学习者特征分析
After entering the ninth grade, students have certain English foundation, language learning ability and language perception ability, which are the merits of learning English. However, students in Grade 9 need to prepare for the entrance examination, so the students’ learning tasks of all subjects are aggravated, and their psychological pressure is great. In addition, the students in the class are highly polarized. Some students are impatient in the learning process. And as a language subject, listening and writing are very important, but most of the students are weak in these aspects. At this stage, the teachers should encourage students to study actively and stimulate their interest in learning. Meanwhile, flexible teaching design and rich activities should be supplemented to guide students to develop good learning habits.
