English Large Unit Instructional Design Oriented by Core Competencies

English large unit instructional design guided by core competencies is an important direction in the current reform of basic education. This paper focuses on the design of English large unit teaching, analyzing progress in the transformation of teaching philosophy, the exploration of unit design, and the construction of evaluation systems. It points out key problems such as the disconnection between competency goals and teaching content, insufficient linkage among instructional activities, and weak support from evaluation approaches. To address these issues, the study proposes strategies including reconstructing the goal system, building an integrated design model, and establishing a diversified evaluation loop. Drawing on regional reform outcomes and classroom practice breakthroughs, it further explores future development pathways. The research aims to provide practical references for grassroots teachers, promote the implementation of the core competency concept in English teaching, and foster the coordinated development of students' language ability and comprehensive competencies.
