Teaching Reflection
Teachers should often explain the new words in English. It’s helpful to the students’ word learning. It can also help them understand the usage of the new words better. Teachers can do the same things on the teaching of phrases and sentences. It’s better that the teacher may introduce more information or show more pictures to the students about the dressing culture of different parts in the world if the time is enough.
