here are so many challenges that junior school students face such as how to develop integrative skills and get high scores, how to cultivate communicative competence, how to adapt to new curriculum, lack of interest or creativity etc.
Here are some quick tips for teachers to deal with changes and challenges in the process of curriculum reform to help students:
(1) Have an open mind towards different kinds of ideas about and approaches to teaching.
(2) Be willing to try out new ideas and find out if they work or not. If not, why not. Be prepared to share with colleagues your difficulties or successes.
(3) Try to find opportunities to attend training, seminars on language teaching and observations of teaching. You can always learn a lot from others.
(4) Use the resources available to help you with teaching and self-learning. There are a lot of resources on the Internet nowadays for teaching and for brushing up your own English. There are also a lot of books discussing about the new curriculum.
(5) Reflect on your own teaching and beliefs about teaching. If at all possible, keep a teaching diary to record the questions that arise from your teaching and your own understandings about teaching. You will find these notes subconsciously focusing your attention on solving problems on a day-to-day basis and you will find yourself changing in the process of teaching and reflecting.
