A Case Study on the Teaching of Senior High School English Reading Classes Based on the English Learning Activity Concept

One of the most important inputs in language learning is reading. Reading plays a pivotal role in developing students' core literacy. However, there are still many problems in the current high school English reading teaching, such as fragmented teaching out of context, shallow reading, etc. In the The English Curriculum Standard for Senior High School (2017, revised in 2020), it proposes the concept of English learning activities integrating six elements. And it is clear that activities are the basic form of English learning. Teachers should design contextual, hierarchical, and effective English learning activities for students in the classroom to provide an actionable way to implement core literacy. This paper takes the City or Country teaching in the Reading Club section of English Compulsory 1 Unit 1 Life Choices of Beijing Normal University as an example, and analyzes its progressive teaching activities according to the concept of English learning activities, so as to promote the cultivation of students' English core literacy.
