　　二、Teaching methods

　　A good teaching method requires that the teacher should have the leading effects. According to the analysis of the teaching material and the teaching aims, I will use “Communicative” Approach and “ Task-based” language teaching. According to the modern social communication teaching theories(现代社会交际教学理论)，I adopt the TSA method (情景教学) and TBLT method (语言任务教学) in my teaching. At the same time, I’ll make use of the modern electricity teaching equipments and blackboard. They are used to show the students some pictures, some audio files, some visual files, some topics or reading tasks. This can develop the students’ creativity in learning English.

　　I apply these methods into my teaching, because it, to a large extent, limits Teacher Talking Time and increases Student Talking Time.
