Writing, as an important language skill, receives much attention in language teaching in junior high school. Traditional writing teaching always asks students to remember examples by heart to collect language resources, which plays no real function to improve students’ writing skills. Thus, it is necessary to design the writing class in an effective way. This thesis aims to illustrate how to build scaffolding for students during the process approach to writing and help them complete the writing tasks. This method focuses on the process of building scaffolding to facilitate the writing process, rather than only emphasizing the outcome. Through the classroom observation and cases analysis, the author further explores the scaffolding theory in English writing teaching in junior high school.

Reading is not only one of the purposes of English teaching, but also an important way of English learning. Students’ knowledge of English reading enables them to read effectively. At this time, students’ reading focus will gradually shift from learning to using English to obtain information and experience the real purpose of English reading. The traditional junior high school English reading teaching can’t meet the requirements of the new curriculum reform and helps students achieve their initial learning goals. Based on the basic theoretical knowledge of English reading teaching, this article analyzes the problems encountered by teachers and students in the process of English reading teaching, and puts forward the corresponding countermeasures, hoping to promote the level of junior high school students’ English reading teaching.
