1、 牛津高中英语模块二Unit 1 Project 教学实践与反思 利用Project 板块教学培养学生写作能力 江苏省新海高级中学 赵文【摘要】目前高中英语Project教学存在脱离语境，偏重讲解，轻视运用等问题，学生的积极性没有被调动，没能突出学生的主体地位，长此以往学生就会失去学习英语的兴趣，本文结合教学案例，阐述了如何利用Project 板块教学培养学生的写作能力。【关键词】Project教学 写作能力一、 Project 板块教学中存在的问题 牛津高中英语每个单元的最后都安排了Project 板块，这一板块中提供了与该单元话题相关的材料，让学生通过对所给的语言材料的学习后，通过小组讨论
