introduction

The importance of overall teaching of junior high school English units was emphasized, and it was pointed out that the current textbooks focus on themes as the core of each unit, covering elements such as language knowledge, cultural knowledge, language skills, and learning strategies. The "Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" provide teachers with a topic based structured knowledge construction method to promote the sustainable development of students' core competencies, help students form deep cognition, attitudes, and value judgments, and apply these ideas and concepts to different life situations to solve problems.

Definition of Concept

The concept of unit based holistic teaching was introduced, emphasizing the integration and reorganization of unit content based on units, forming a knowledge system with inherent logic and systematicity. At the same time, the definition of structured knowledge was explained, which involves extracting, integrating, and summarizing information from different types of discourse. The overall teaching of junior high school English units based on structured knowledge construction requires teachers to use visual thinking tools to organize unit themes, formulate teaching objectives, and guide students in activities such as learning comprehension, application practice, and transfer innovation. In addition, a comprehensive teaching diagram for junior high school English units based on structured knowledge construction is provided, demonstrating the three stages of teaching: research, teaching, and post class.

Problems and Countermeasures in the Overall Teaching of Middle School English Units

Identified the problems in the overall teaching of junior high school English units, including insufficient structuring of discourse reading, deviation of teaching objectives from themes, and lack of structured support for teaching activities. In response to these issues, the author believes that structured knowledge construction is an effective solution. By integrating, restructuring, refining, and summarizing fragmented knowledge, it helps to accurately set teaching goals, promote the effective development of students' language practice activities, and achieve the development of core competencies.

Implementation suggestions for integrated teaching of junior high school English units based on structured knowledge construction

Taking Unit 11 of the 9th grade English textbook published by People's Education Press as an example, this paper proposes suggestions for the overall teaching of junior high school English units based on structured knowledge construction. Firstly, teachers need to study unit discourse, grasp the meaning of the theme through structuring, integrate unit sub themes, and form unit theme structure diagrams. Secondly, based on specific learning situations, teachers should formulate teaching objectives in a structured manner to enhance the accuracy and appropriateness of teaching objectives. In the teaching process, teachers should highlight the student-centered position and promote the coordinated development of students' language ability, learning ability, thinking quality, and cultural awareness through structured knowledge construction. In addition, teachers should design teaching activities that are suitable for students, including activating cognitive schemas, creating thematic contexts, designing learning activities based on student needs, etc., to help students complete the construction of structured knowledge. Finally, teachers should guide students to trace the meaning of the topic, extend the construction of structured knowledge, and form a structured knowledge network with an internal logical system.

Reflection and Suggestions

Emphasis was placed on the importance of overall teaching of junior high school English units in the context of the new curriculum reform. Through structured knowledge construction, students can not only master language knowledge, but also deepen their understanding of thematic meanings, while enhancing language proficiency, thinking quality, learning ability, and cultural awareness. This teaching method helps to achieve the organic integration of language learning, thematic exploration, and curriculum education goals, promoting the development of students' core competencies.
