In the era of fast-developing educational technology, it is necessary to introduce some digitally-assisted ways into the English teaching in middle schools to break through the limitations of traditional teaching. Taking Unit 6 Travel Around the World of the second-semester Grade 8 English textbook (PEP) as an example, we design a complete lesson plan by combining the BOPPPS model with some technology-assisted ways such as multimedia materials, online interactive platforms, digital simulation tools, etc. After carrying out the lesson plan in class and reflecting upon its effects, we conclude that the proper use of technology can improve students language competence, cultivate their critical thinking and intercultural understanding, and help them learn independently. The findings of this study offer practical suggestions and a reproducible model for the innovation of English education in middle schools.
