Recommendation: The focus of this English curriculum reform is to shift away from the excessive emphasis on the explanation and teaching of grammar and vocabulary knowledge, while neglecting the development of students' practical language proficiency. It emphasizes that the curriculum should be based on students' learning interests, life experiences, and cognitive levels, promoting learning methods such as experience, practice, participation, cooperation, and communication, as well as task-based teaching approaches. The goal is to develop students' comprehensive language proficiency, making the language learning process a journey where students form positive attitudes, active thinking, bold practice, enhance cross-cultural awareness, and cultivate self-directed learning abilities.
