Abstract

PAD Class paradigm (Presentation - Assimilation - Discussion) is an innovated teaching pattern, in which preview process is not encouraged. Based on this teaching pattern and the actual teaching situations, this paper aims to carry out a study of this reform and practice concerning with the preview activities for the university English extended courses. In this paper, PAD Class teaching paradigm, PAD Class teaching principles, and preview activities among other teaching methods have been reviewed, then class designs without preview activities for different university English extended courses have been introduced, so as to discuss that preview is not important in teaching and learning activities, which is an innovation in class teaching patterns.
