I. the nature of the curriculum.
The English curriculum at the stage of compulsory education is of the dual nature of instrumentality and humanism.
As far as instrumentality is concerned, English curriculum undertakes the task of cultivating students' basic English literacy and developing their thinking ability, that is, students can master basic knowledge of English language and develop basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English through English cours. Form the ability to communicate with others in English, further promote the development of thinking ability, for the future to continue to

As far as humanity is concerned, English curriculum undertakes the task of improving students' comprehensive humanistic quality, that is, students can broaden their horizons, enrich their life experiences, form cross-cultural consciousness, enhance their patriotism and develop their innovative ability through English cours. Form a good character and a correct outlook on
life and values. The integration of instrumental and humanistic English curriculum is conducive to the lifelong development of students to lay the foundation.
II. The basic idea of Curriculum.
(1) pay attention to quality-oriented education and embody the value of language learning to students' development;
The main purpo of English curriculum in compulsory education is to lay a foundation for students to develop their comprehensive language ability and to create favorable conditions for them to continue to learn English and to develop
in the future. Language is not only a tool for communication, but also a tool for thinking. Learning a foreign language
can promote people's mental development, help students to understand the diversity of the world, experience the similarities and differences between Chine and foreign cultures to form cross-cultural awareness, enhance international understanding, and carry forward the spirit of patriotism. Form the n of social responsibility and innovation consciousness, improve humanities accomplishment.
(2) for all students, pay attention to the different characteristics and individual differences of language learners.
Compulsory education is an important part of education for all. The English curriculum at the stage of compulsory education should be open to all students and embody the student-centered thinking. The development needs of all students should be taken into account in the aspects of teaching objec
tives, teaching contents, teaching process, teaching evaluation and the utilization and development of teaching resources. English curriculum should be a process in which students construct their knowledge, develop their skills, broaden their horizons, enliven their thinking and show their individuality under the guidance of their teachers. Due to the differences in age, personality, cognitive style and living
environment, students have different learning needs and characteristics. Only to meet individual needs to a large extent,
it is possible to obtain the maximum overall teaching efficiency.
(C) overall design objectives, taking full account of the progressivity and continuity of language learning.
English learning has obvious characteristics of progressiveness and continuity. Language learning lasts a long time and needs to accumulate gradually. The English Curriculum Standard for compulsory Education (hereinafter referred to
as "this Standard") and the English Curriculum Standard for Senior High Schools, which converge wi
th it, t the objectives of the English curriculum for the basic education stage at nine levels. The aim is to embody the organic cohesion of primary, junior middle and nior middle school cours and the gradual development of students' English language competence, so as to ensure the integrity, progressiveness and continuity of English curriculum. English teaching and evaluation activities should be organized in accordance with the students' language proficiency and the corresponding grade requirements.
(4) emphasizing the process of learning and paying attention to the practicality and application of language learning.
Modern foreign language education pays attention to the process of language learning, emphasizes the practicality
of language learning, advocates that students should contact, experience and understand the real language in the context, and learn and u language on this basis. English curriculum advocates the adoption of language teaching approaches
and methods that both emphasize the language learning process and improve the students' learning effectiveness, so as to create as many opportunities as possible for the students to u the language
in the real context. Encourage students, under the guidance of teachers, to discover language laws through experience, practice, participation, inquiry and cooperation, to gradually master language knowledge and skills, to constantly adjust their emotional attitudes, and to form effective learning strategies, Develop the ability of autonomous learning.
(5) to optimize the evaluation method, with emphasis on the evaluation of students' comprehensive language ability.
The evaluation system of English curriculum should be conducive to the development of students' comprehensive language u ability. It should be evaluated by adopting multiple and optimized evaluation methods to asss the development level of students' comprehensive language u ability, and stimulate students' interest in learning by means
of evaluation. Promote the development of students' autonomous learning ability, thinking ability, cross-cultural awareness and healthy personality. The evaluation system should include formative evaluation and summative evaluation. The evaluation in daily teaching focus on formative asssment, focusing on the performance and progress of students
in the learning process; the final asssment focus on the students' comprehensive language u
ability. Including language skills, language knowledge, emotional attitude, learning strategies and cultural awareness and so on.
(6) enriching curriculum resources and expanding English learning channels.
Language learning requires a great deal of input. Rich and diver curriculum resources are especially important for English learning. According to the needs of teaching and learning, English curriculum should provide English learning resources that are clo to students, life and times. We should creatively develop and make u of the fresh English learning resources in real life, and actively u audio-visual, radio, television, books, newspapers, magazines, Internet
information, and so on, to expand the channels for students to learn and u English.
Ⅲ. The idea of curriculum design.
The general idea of English curriculum design is: under the guidance of the scientific concept of development and advanced foreign language curriculum concept, bad on the national conditions, comprehensive consideration of the current situation of English education in China, starting from the stage of compulsory education; To establish a student-oriented, systematic and progressive English
curriculum system. This curriculum system aims at fostering students' comprehensive language application ability, according to the law of language learning and the development needs of students in the compulsory education stage. From the language skills, language knowledge, emotional attitude, learning strategies and cultural awareness of the five aspects of the design of the overall curriculum objectives and grading goals. The five aspects are interrelated and complement each other, which makes English curriculum attach importance not only to the cultivation of students' basic language knowledge and basic skills, but also to the optimization
of the learning process, so as to guide students to form effective learning strategies and certain cultural awareness. Cultivate positive emotional attitudes and values.
According to the above design idea, the compulsory education stage English curriculum take the elementary school
3 grades as the starting point, take the junior middle school graduation as the end (namely compulsory education 9 grades), and with the nior middle school stage English curriculum links up. The English curriculum of the entire basic education stage (including compulsory education and nior high school) is divided into nine levels according to the ability level, forming a gradual and sus
tainable development of the curriculum. The aim of tting graded cours is to reflect the learning needs and cognitive characteristics of students of different ages, and to make English cours with integrity, flexibility and openness, using the international grading methods for reference.
In the nine-level target system, the first to the fifth level is the goal requirement of the compulsory education stage. Level two is the basic requirement to be met at the end of the sixth grade, and grade five is the basic requirement to be reached at the end of the ninth grade. Grades 6 to 9 are the target requirements for ordinary high schools. Among them, level 7 is the basic requirement for high school graduates, and levels 8 and 9 are designed for high school students who
are willing to further improve their English proficiency. Of the nine levels of targets, levels I, III, IV and VI are transitional levels. The tting of grading objectives is conducive to teaching and evaluation in the implementation of the curriculum, but also provides a basis for the flexibility and openness of the curriculum.
The levels in the curriculum grading objectives are not entirely equivalent to the grades in the basic education stage. However, the grading goal provides the instruction requirements for the teaching and evaluation of grades 3, 6, 7, 9 and nior high school, and the compilation of teaching materials,
which is conducive to the overall implementation of the curriculum. In the period of compulsory education, schools offering English cours from the third grade, the fourth grade should complete the first level goal, the sixth grade should complete the cond level goal, the schedule of class should reflect the principle of short time and high frequency as far as possible, and guarantee three or four teaching activities per week; The total weekly class time shall not be less than 80 ~ 90 minutes. Grades 7, 9 and 9 completed the goals of levels III, IV and V respectively, and the weekly class hours were carried out in accordance with the national curriculum plan.
Considering the fact that our country has a vast territory, numerous nationalities and unbalanced economic and educational development, each region can formulate its own curriculum implementation plan according to the situation
of teachers' condition and resource allocation, etc. To determine the starting grade of English teaching in primary schools and the grade requirements to be reached when graduating from primary and junior high schools, the factors such as the availability of teachers and the teaching conditions should be fully taken into account in the establishment of English curriculum in primary schools. Local teaching and rearch departments should strengthen the classification, stratification guidance and evaluation of teaching, help schools to implement the local curriculum implementation
plan
in accordance with local conditions, and pay attention to the coordination and convergence between the good learning ctions. In particular, we should do a good job in the smooth transition between primary and junior high school, and promote the balanced development of regional English education.
