introduction

The New Curriculum Standards for Yijiao emphasize the promotion of students' core literacy development through comprehensive English practice activities, but there are shortcomings in the design of comprehensive practice activities in current textbooks. Some teachers focus too much on language knowledge in their teaching, neglecting to guide students to solve practical problems, resulting in a disconnect between learning and real life. This article takes the topic of "food" as an example and points out that teaching design should combine students' interests and real-life situations, guide students to comprehensively apply knowledge through real contexts and tasks. With the theme of "Diet and Health", a "Design Healthy Recipes" activity was designed, requiring students to think about school meal preparation and self selection issues, apply what they have learned to propose solutions, and achieve comprehensive development of core competencies.

Principles for the Design of Comprehensive Practice Activities in Primary School English

The design principles of primary school English comprehensive practical activity courses emphasize student-centered approach, aiming to enhance students' English language proficiency, cross-cultural communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities through diverse practical activities. Activity design should follow the principle of practicality, combine students' life experience, and improve communication and problem-solving abilities by simulating real situations. The principle of interactivity encourages group discussions and project collaboration, promoting social skills and knowledge sharing. The principle of comprehensiveness requires comprehensive consideration of the cultivation of language skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovative abilities, and promotes the development of students' comprehensive skills through diverse tasks and teaching methods. The principle of continuous evaluation and reflection emphasizes the continuous evaluation of the learning process and outcomes, motivating students to learn through diverse evaluation methods and providing feedback for teaching. In the case, students not only internalized language knowledge but also enhanced respect and tolerance for multiculturalism through the activity of designing healthy recipes.

The Implementation Process of Unit Comprehensive Practice Course

The implementation process of the comprehensive practical activity class for primary school English units includes six basic steps: determining the activity theme, setting activity goals, developing activity plans, implementing activities, showcasing activity results, evaluating and reflecting on activity issues. Firstly, teachers determine the unit theme based on the "New Curriculum Standards for Moral Education", and establish educational goals and teaching mainlines around the theme. Next, the teacher sets class objectives, including scientific and language goals, such as understanding the food pyramid, pairing nutritionally balanced meals, and obtaining a healthy dietary structure. The activity plan includes core tasks 1 to 3, which require students to understand the food pyramid, design lunch recipes, and design personal health recipes. When implementing activities, students gradually deepen their understanding of the food pyramid, design and evaluate recipes through activities such as perception and attention, acquisition and sorting, summarization and integration. When showcasing the results of the activity, students demonstrate their understanding of the food pyramid and recipe design abilities through forms such as mind maps and designing lunch recipes. Finally, teachers evaluate and reflect on activity issues to improve learning efficiency and the quality of practical activities.

This chapter emphasizes the core concept of comprehensive practical activities in primary school English units, which is to promote the comprehensive development of students' core competencies through practical activities. In the case study, students not only learned language knowledge but also incorporated interdisciplinary content such as food pyramids through the task of designing healthy recipes to enhance the connection between learning and life. Activity design emphasizes the integration of teaching, learning, and evaluation, providing feedback on learning outcomes through students' evaluations and suggestions of recipes, and guiding teaching adjustments. Through the process of evaluating, designing recipes, and providing suggestions, students have developed their thinking qualities and learning abilities, and achieved practical application of language knowledge.
