Pais English is compiled according to the national English curriculum standards. The unique arrangement makes the teaching materials complement each other and realizes the dual functions of improving and making up for the differences. This set of textbooks is consistent with the current school textbooks, and is divided into volumes by semester. The contents of the textbooks are gradual and focused, which is convenient for teaching. At present, English teaching in primary and secondary schools in China is generally faced with difficulties such as lack of language environment, too many classes, insufficient teachers and insufficient class hours. Using this set of teaching materials can make off-campus training closely cooperate with on-campus teaching, and finally achieve the goal of improving students' academic performance.
First, the purpose of compiling teaching materials
The purpose of compiling this set of teaching materials is to create a set of practical and flexible English training materials for young people, to build a bridge between the excellent educational resources of People's Education Publishing House and the needs of young people to learn English, and to help students strengthen and improve their learning effect at school and gradually develop their English language ability.
Second, the main features of teaching materials
1. It is based on the national English curriculum standards and forms a complementary learning system with school English learning.
Pais English is based on the national English curriculum standards, and the design of teaching materials highlights four principles: cohesion, practicality, innovation and foundation. Textbooks are compiled in volumes according to academic year and semester, which is convenient for teaching. The teaching content is gradual and focused. Different teaching stages focus on solving various difficulties in China students' foreign language learning, so that on-campus teaching and off-campus training complement each other.

In addition, Li Lei and Han Meimei, the main characters in the English textbooks published by People's Education Publishing House in the 1990s, appear among the scene characters in the book. Pais English takes the life of Li Lei and Han Meimei nearly 20 years later as a clue to start the plot. I believe that all parents and teachers who have learned that set of textbooks will feel the surprise brought by Pais English with great goodwill and interest.
exchange; communicate
The textbook starts from cultivating students' ability to use language and highlights the principles of communicative teaching. Textbooks focus on different topics and present a relatively complete language environment, providing students with direct communication materials. Each lesson takes the topic as a clue, organically combines pronunciation, vocabulary and language structure, so that students can use it in their study and gradually improve their English communication ability.
5. Pay attention to the combination of language acquisition and learning and the cultivation of learning strategies.
The arrangement of Pais English follows the law of language learning, pays attention to grasping the amount of language input, emphasizes the process of language learning, attaches importance to the timing and output of students' language output, and carefully creates a language environment to effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient English learning context. The design of teaching materials aims to stimulate students' learning ability, guide students to form good study habits, master effective learning strategies, and finally achieve the goal of learning to learn.
6. Infiltrate emotional education and humanistic care
This set of teaching materials is compiled according to the national English curriculum standards, which fully embodies the goal of quality education. The content of the textbook revolves around students' life, and the design of language scenes is life scenes, which embodies the concept that education is life. The textbook fully considers the humanistic concern for children's nature and personality, and pays attention to the development of children's comprehensive quality.
Third, the basic structure and style of teaching materials
1. Basic framework of teaching materials
From the perspective of convenient teaching, the design of teaching materials reflects the overall unity and coherence.
Each book includes 15 units, and the spiral progressive model outlines the development of teaching content. Each unit has six pages, and each page is a module. Each module has different functions: the first module is basic vocabulary and basic sentence patterns; The second module is an extension of the first module, which is used to increase the amount of language input and expand and strengthen the content of the first module; The third module focuses on strengthening in stages. For example, the first volume focuses on strengthening the listening, speaking, reading and writing of English letters; The fourth module is used to test the effect of unit teaching and guide students to lay a solid foundation; The fifth and sixth modules are intensive training. Teachers can guide students to finish in class according to the teaching situation, or they can leave it to students to choose. Each unit includes listening, speaking, reading, writing, singing, acting and other teaching links that echo each other. In addition, the topic selection of each unit fully considers the characteristics and acceptance of students of different ages.
According to the classification of topics, each unit includes six sections: topic vocabulary, oral sentence patterns, comprehensive application, key presentation, unit summary and consolidation exercises.
"Thematic vocabulary" is based on the topics specified in the new curriculum standard, and the vocabulary content of each unit is set according to the daily life and study life of primary and secondary school students. Stimulate students' interest in learning this unit through the topic of vocabulary perception unit, and master the learning focus of this unit at the same time, so as to make necessary preparations for later learning oral sentence patterns and comprehensive use of language.
"Oral sentence pattern" is rooted in the basic training of teaching materials, focusing on the knowledge extraction, method improvement and learning method guidance of English content learned in class, laying a solid knowledge foundation for students to further learn English.
"Comprehensive application" focuses on the comprehensive expansion training of English language learning, focusing on training students to integrate the vocabulary, sentence patterns and oral items they have learned in a specific language environment, truly transforming "learning" into "using" ability, and promoting students' language perception and application ability.
"Focus presentation" is to extract the key points or difficulties in English learning and present them separately. Through targeted learning guidance, students' basic language ability is strengthened in stages, which clears the way for the improvement of comprehensive language ability.
"Unit summary" is a paradise for students to sort out and summarize knowledge. Through listening, speaking, drawing, drawing and connecting, this part guides students to consolidate the learning focus of this unit and examine students' mastery.
"Consolidation exercise" will repeat what students have learned and reproduce it in an all-round way. This part is intended to better combine the curriculum standard textbooks with this set of textbooks, truly realize the synchronization after class, and integrate the knowledge inside and outside the school.
2. The basic concept of teaching materials
The first stage of Pais English consists of eight volumes. The idea is to divide English teaching in grades 3-6 of primary schools into three stages, namely, the basic stage-the consolidation stage-the improvement stage.
One or two volumes are the basic stage. The teaching contents include: listening, speaking, reading and writing 26 English letters and their common pronunciations in words; Learn simple daily communication terms around the theme of "I"; Listen and learn to sing short classic English nursery rhymes. The purpose of this stage of teaching is to stimulate students' interest in learning English, help them to establish their initial English perception ability, lay a certain foundation of English, and cultivate good expression ability and cooperative spirit.
The third and fourth volumes are the consolidation stage. On the basis of the first two volumes, these two textbooks pay attention to the perceptual experience of language, make full use of the characteristics of students' willingness to accept new things and strong imitation, and provide students with rich practical space. Reproduce old and new knowledge in an all-round way, and correctly guide students to understand and master the most basic and commonly used language rules. The teaching contents in the consolidation stage include: learning the pronunciation law of opening and closing syllables and learning simple letter combinations; Learn simple sentence structure and grammar knowledge; Talk about your friends, family, teachers and other topics around the scope of "we"; Experience simple English stories or fairy tales. The purpose of this stage of teaching is to further stimulate students' interest in learning English and make them have preliminary English expression ability.
Five to eight volumes is the improvement stage. At this stage, students' knowledge of phonetics, vocabulary and grammar, as well as their skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, have been applied, which further broadens the choice of vocabulary and reading materials, appropriately strengthens the proportion of comprehensive application and creative activities, gives students a broader experience space, encourages students to use English creatively, and gradually realizes the combination of sensibility and rationality in teaching. The teaching contents at this stage include: continuing to learn the pronunciation rules of letter combinations, establishing a more systematic concept of frequency, and being able to spell words with regular pronunciation skillfully; Able to read simple English stories; Can simply talk about natural environment, occupation, holidays, social culture and other topics and master the corresponding vocabulary and language structure; Read more English stories; Learn more about the customs and social culture of English-speaking countries; Develop English language creation activities under the guidance of teachers. The teaching purpose of this stage is to further develop English reading ability and communication ability, improve students' self-study ability and lay a solid foundation for higher learning.
3. Specific arrangement of teaching materials
The arrangement characteristics of the whole set of teaching materials are mainly manifested in the following aspects:
(1) arrangement of teaching content
The teaching content of one line is the gradual learning and development of the whole teaching system. This line starts with topics such as students' familiar daily life and rich and diverse learning forms, and forms a relatively complete logical system in the teaching materials. While feeling and experiencing different topics and scenes, students gradually master the knowledge and skills of English pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence patterns and communication, and have certain expression and practical ability.
The other line is the theme content of each unit and the integration of Chinese and western cultures. According to students' age characteristics and cognitive rules, the editor skillfully combines some Chinese and western cultural knowledge closely related to students' daily life and synchronized with the teaching content and progress. While learning Chinese and western cultures, students learn to introduce China's excellent culture to foreigners in English, and gradually improve their intercultural communication ability.
(2) the display of basic English knowledge and skills
Pais English not only pays attention to the cultivation of students' communicative competence, but also pays full attention to the study of basic English knowledge and skills. From the presentation of basic English knowledge (such as the choice of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) to the determination of units and the design of activities, it is closely related to the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The whole process of language presentation attaches importance to students' perception of language and the process of "learning". The arrangement of knowledge points is step by step, and the combination of various language practice activities can effectively help students master and improve step by step.
(3) The content, difficulty and overall arrangement of the course.
Step by step is the basic principle of compiling this textbook. Considering that Pais English is aimed at English training schools at all levels in China, it always follows the principle of "easy but not difficult" in the content difficulty of each stage and the teaching volume of each unit. Each unit involves only one topic, five to six words, two to three sentence patterns and four to five rounds of dialogue. In terms of overall difficulty, it is basically synchronized with the current curriculum standard textbooks and appropriately improved to supplement classroom teaching and effectively improve students' English learning effect.
