2016年5月6日下午，来自美国匹兹堡Duquesne 大学的Joseph C. Kush教授为我校全体英语教师在新录课教师做了一场题为Strategies for Reading and Listening Comprehension for Middle School的报告。曲江一中常务副校长陈勇刚与老师们一同参加了本次活动。报告由英语教研组长张亚权主持。

本次报告内容以中学英语听、读策略为核心，旨在为中学英语教师的日常教学提供理论帮助，从而改进教学策略。Joseph C. Kush教授通过介绍Jeanne Chall编著的Stages of Reading Development一书让老师们对学生各个阶段应该掌握的阅读能力有了宏观了解。3H方法（Here Questions, Hidden Questions, Head Questions）也为阅读教学提供了新思路。

报告之后，樊青老师和佀艳英老师分别呈现了阅读课型说课和听力课型说课。Kush教授在听课后做了详细点评，并和老师们互动交流，高度赞扬了我校英语课堂教学和老师们的专业素养。
