  Simple introduction of the books
  New Intercharg is introduced to China in 2000 by Cambridge University Press and Foreign Language Teaching and Reaching Press, which is designed for non-native learners. Actually, it is the best seller in the world so far.The teaching material is suitable as speaking and listening materials, including 6 levels altogether, from beginning level to high levels.
  Teachers and students speak quite highly of it. The reasons are:
  First of all, it is designed according to the advanced theory of CLT with the idea of learning English in context. (content based syllabus) It strongly stresses the language fluency, flexibility and accuracy in communication aiming at cultivating students’ integrated skills.(communicative language teaching)
  Main activities advocated in this course book include topic discussions, grammar structures, language functions, vocabulary expansion and pronunciation training, providing students with the most opportunities to practice English.
  Second, New Interchange has concrete requirements in grammar, function, topic,
  listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation and vocabulary, which are arranged together well. (task-based syllabus):
  Comprehensive grammar presentation and practice
  Expanded opportunities to develop listening skills
  High-interest readings leading to thoughtful discussion
  Student-centered fluency activities
  Interleaved Teacher's Editions
  Audio CDs as alternatives to Class and Student's Audio Cassettes
  Video Program revised for use with New Interchange
  CD-ROMs for Intro, Level 1, and Level 2 that offer a wealth of self-study activities
  Third, fresh topics and real-world content in every unit.
  Beautiful design, illustrations, photos and funny cartoon pictures which can arouse
  students’ interests in learning English very practical (situationa syllabus)
  Fourth,editors think language is best learned when used for meaningful communication. Therefore, students can use the language as much as possible. Various ways of activity organization also seasons the procedure of teaching. suitable for large classes, but also for small ones.(Jack 2001:xiv).
  Last but not least,
  New Interchange has a series of related materials: Interleaved Teacher's Editions,
  Audio CDs as alternatives to Class and Student's Audio Cassettes
  Video Program revised for use with New Interchange
  CD-ROMs for Intro, Level 1, and Level 2 that offer a wealth of self-study activities
  In teaching practice, communicative language teaching is widly used.
  The origins of communicative Language Teaching are to be founded in the changes in the British language teaching tradition dating from the late 1960s. (Jack 2008: 153) It is probably the approach most used by trained language teachers today. But it is implemented in very different ways by different teachers working in different contexts. It is an approach with wide variations, not a well-defined method. By its very nature it is eclectic.(Paul 2001:193)
  Two limitations for using widely
  1.This set of series costs as twiceas other teaching materials.
  2.New Interchange is not suitablefor the students who are rich in vocabulary at first.

我们往往一听到小组合作学习,就感觉满头雾水,最让人头痛的是,一说前后位合作,室里立即会出现一片热烈讨论的现象,假如你细心观察,不难发现其实只是一种假热闹的现象,实际上活而无序。有些小组没有激情,有些小组借此机会聊天、打闹。在这种情况下,怎样让小组学习取得最佳的学习效果,实现真正的优差互补、互助学习?这就需要加强对学习小组的建设、小组的模式、小组的规则建设、小组文化建设、小组的思想塑造、小组评价及奖

教材是教学内容的载体,是教与学的文本,是教与学的主要依据。教学是教学内容的生成过程,是教材的再创造。在教学实践中,我们应该提高解读教材、分析教材、整合教材、驾驭教材的能力,根据教学需要合理、有效地选择和使用教材;既要充分使用教材,发挥教材的功能,又不能简单地重复教材,而要发挥自己的创造性,超越教材。新教材每一框内容活动不少,设计的问题很多,很容易触发学生的思维、激发学生体验、引导学生学习,但并不是

初中英语教学要先完成由小学兴趣课向初中任务课的转变,同时要兼顾学生学习心理的转变,它是英语学习承前启后的关键阶段。这个阶段英语学习的优异者,大多在以后的英语学习中遥遥领先。反之,在这个阶段英语学习受挫者,也往往容易得上英语“恐学症”。  英语“恐学症”大多出现在初中英语学习阶段。由于记忆大量单词的需要,凸显出英语学习枯燥的一面,于是部分学生兴趣减退,久而久之,未掌握的英语知识积少成多,形成恶性循环
