Abstract

With the sweeping of the new curriculum reform, new changes and requirements in English teaching stress the development of students' key competencies and require teachers to carry out teaching activities based on key competencies. As an important part of teaching, however, the evaluation in traditional English classes in senior high school lacks diversity and innovation and ignores the main role of students. Many explorations on classroom teaching evaluation have been conducted, but most of them are theoretical research, focusing on the compulsory education stage. This paper studies the evaluation of high school English classroom teaching combined with key competencies and explores the impact of the evaluation on English teaching and learning. The author selected two classes in a senior high school as the experimental class and the control class to conduct a two-month comparative experiment using classroom observation, testing and other experimental tools. It is found that the English classroom evaluation based on the key competencies can promote teaching effect as well as learning effect. Therefore, in the classroom evaluation, it is important for teachers to implement key competencies in the classroom teaching evaluation, use diversified teaching evaluation to arouse students' enthusiasm for learning, and improve students' comprehensive English learning ability.
