The Whole Teaching Design of Junior Middle School English Unit under the Big Idea

"Senior High School English Curriculum Standards (2017edition)" (referred to as "senior high school curriculum standards") for the first time uses the term "big concept" (this paper adopts "big concept"), emphasizing that "the subject concept as the core, make the course content structured, theme-based guidance, make the course content contextualized". In the "Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022edition)" (referred to as the new curriculum standards in this paper), it is again emphasized that under the leadership of the big idea, under the background of the theme context, and relying on the discourse to cultivate the core quality of English subjects, that is, language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality and learning ability. Nowadays, the big concept of discipline has set off a research upsurge in the educational field, and how to integrate the whole thinking of big concept into various disciplines or even interdisciplinary integration has become the current research focus. Through studying and sorting out the articles about the major ideas of English subjects in recent years, combined with my own thinking, this paper takes the teaching of "Unit9 I like music that I can dance to" in the eighth grade of junior high School English in the Humanistic Version of Go for it as an example. In order to provide some ideas for the further implementation of big ideas in English teaching, this paper probes into the whole unit teaching method based on big ideas of English subjects.
