Abstract

Based on Bloom’s “effective teaching theory,” this paper proposes pre-class activities to improve students’ enthusiasm and autonomy in English learning. These include sentence construction, situational dubbing, famous quotes, English songs, English games, Chinese stories, regional cultures, and theme debates, which combine life, interest, and inspiration as the main characteristics. The activities can enhance the sense of participation and achievement of all students to achieve the purpose of effective teaching.
