Learning Objectives
Extract key information (secrets of success, figures’ achievements) from a talk, improving the ability to understand spoken English about personal development and influential people. Through group/pair work, discuss successful people, practice introducing figures using target vocabulary.
Explore cultural icons of success (e.g., Yuan Longping, Ren Zhengfei) and their contributions. Understand how different cultures value perseverance, innovation, and social impact, recognizing universal success traits and cultural-specific achievements.
Break down “secrets of success” into components (e.g., ambition, hard work), analyzing how each figure embodies these traits. Use evidence to explain success strategies. In group work, creatively apply language knowledge to introduce successful people.
Use “listening for key details” and “vocabulary-in-context” strategies. These skills transfer to analyzing other inspirational stories and public-speaking tasks. By independently researching success stories, completing tasks, and reflecting on language use, students take ownership of learning.
