Design and Case Analysis of Listening Teaching in Junior High School English Unit Integrated Instruction Based on Core Literacy

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the implementation of Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition), fostering students’ core literacy has become the fundamental goal of junior high school English teaching [1]. Listening, as the primary channel for language input, plays a crucial role in developing comprehensive language competence. However, traditional listening teaching is plagued by problems such as fragmented instruction, decontextualized materials, and outcome-oriented evaluation, which hinder the integration of core literacy cultivation. Unit Integrated Instruction (UII), characterized by "theme leadership and multi-element integration", provides a systematic framework for addressing these dilemmas.This study adopts a mixed-method research design combining literature review, questionnaire survey, classroom observation, and case study. This study enriches the theoretical system of core literacy-oriented listening teaching and provides practical reference for junior high school English teachers to implement UILT.
