On The Teaching Design Of English Picture Books In Primary School Based On English Learning Activities

As a kind of extracurricular reading material,English picture books have gradually become an important choice for teachers to cultivate students’ core literacy of English subjects,and gradually come into the class to assist teachers in teaching.In April 2022,the Ministry of Education issued The English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education(2022 Edition),which sets new requirements for all aspects of English reading in primary school,including encouraging teachers to use English picture books that match the thematic contexts of textbook units to explore English curriculum resources and promote the overall development of students’ core literacy.These include encouraging teachers to use English picture books that match the thematic contexts of textbook units to explore English curriculum resources and promote the overall development of students’ core literacy.Teachers are also encouraged to conduct teaching from the perspective of English Learning Activities,using the theme as a guide and the discourse as a basis to create a context for students to actively participate and explore the meaning of the theme,so that students can have an active learning experience.However,the use of picture books to teach English reading at the primary school level is not yet mature,and there is a lack of theoretical knowledge to guide the relevant teaching.In practice,teachers are influenced by the traditional teaching philosophy,which still focuses on teaching vocabulary and grammar knowledge,and the purpose of teaching is influenced by examinations.At present,there is a lack of research on the design of picture book reading teaching from the perspective of English Learning Activities.This study focuses on primary school English teachers and uses a combination of literature research,questionnaires and case studies to investigate the current situation of teaching picture book reading in primary school English and to analyse how to design picture book reading teaching activities based on the English Learning Activity view theory through specific case studies.The author conducted research in Province H.Questionnaires were distributed to 275 primary school English teachers,and eight classical picture book reading teaching examples were collected and analyzed.The research revealed a number of problems,such as primary school teachers’ lack of knowledge of English picture book teaching and English Learning Activities,unclear teaching objectives in picture book teaching,and a lack of integrated and practical learning activities.In response to these findings,the author makes suggestions and strategies for the design of picture book reading teaching in terms of teaching objectives,teaching activities and teaching evaluation,specifically: in-depth study of picture book texts to determine teaching objectives that point to the core literacy of the subject;the creation of contextual and hierarchical teaching activities;and the use of diversified teaching evaluation methods.In addition,a specific English picture book,The Class Trip,is used as an example to illustrate the design of reading teaching from the perspective of English Learning Activities.
