Abstract

At present, English teaching attaches great importance to the study of language knowledge and neglects the development of language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability. With the further implementation of the new curriculum reform, Project-based Learning has been paid more and more attention. In senior high school English teaching, we can carry out project-based teaching based on students’ existing knowledge and cognitive structure, mobilize students’ enthusiasm to participate in the project, and then improve their key competencies. This paper mainly takes the learning activities of the Unit 3 Project block of the high school English textbook about People’s Education Press to Make a Travel Brochure as an example to introduce the PBL teaching design, and discusses how to develop students’ key competencies in activities.
