Teaching design and practice of intensive reading course based on boppps

Abstract

BOPPPS, based on constructivism and communicative approach, is famous for effective teaching. It is a closed-loop teaching activity model that emphasizes students’ participation and feedback in the process of classroom teaching organization. Taking the course of Intensive English as an example, the paper designs teaching plan based on BOPPPS, formulates teaching tasks and implementation approaches in line with BOPPPS, implements the teaching plan, and reflects the teaching effect through teaching practice. Taking features of Intensive Reading course into consideration, the paper claims that BOPPPS is an effective teaching model, which not only stimulates students’ self-directed learning, but also save teachers and students’ energy to solve puzzles within the limited credit periods. Hopefully, BOPPPS might be gradually and widely applied to the English teaching.
