Teaching of English Reading Based on Large Unit Teaching Mode in High School

Abstract

As a popular teaching concept in recent years, Large Unit Teaching (LUT) has its own advantages in solving the problems existing in the teaching of English reading compared with other methods. The purpose of this study is to address the aforementioned issues with the use of LUT. The study suggested that vertical and horizontal integration of teaching content in LUT satisfies the needs of different levels of students who are restricted by the one-fits-all teaching materials. The processing of reading materials in LUT is guided by a core at the macro level, which avoids the scattered distribution of knowledge points and reduces the cognitive burden of students. In addition, with students as the subject, LUT pays attention to the connection between teaching content and students' life, arousing students' interest in learning as well as encouraging students to apply what they have learned. The corresponding suggestion are offered to better implement LUT in classroom practice.
