ABSTRACT

To promote the all-round development of Chinese students in virtue, intelligence, physics, aesthetics, and labor has been one of the significant goals of contemporary education. Aesthetic education, as a core of the "Five Integrated Education" system, plays a crucial role in educational development. However, aesthetic education resources involved in English reading teaching in junior high school have not come to the great notice of English teachers. And the existed teaching cases involving aesthetic education only present a superficial interpretation of art. Based on the situation, this paper will take an example of a reading text in Unit1 Section B in the English textbook of PEP version in grade 8, book 1, with the title "Where did you go on vacation", to explain the steps of designing aesthetic education learning activities in junior high school English reading teaching. And the learning activity design tries to help junior high students realize three levels in Activity-based Language Teaching on aesthetic knowledge involved in the reading text, which consists of perceiving and understanding, applying and practicing, transferring and creating. The paper aims at providing new teaching ideas for junior high school English reading teaching to improve students' ability to know, feel, and create beauty.
