The Ministry of Education issued the "National English Curriculum Standards", which indicates that the course goal of English in senior high school is to raise students' comprehensive language utilization ability. It also says that," To establish optional courses in high school is an important step in the curriculum reform, the main purpose to set optional courses is to provide students with diversity of choice and space of the development of personality, and it can expand the students' knowledge to some extent to achieve inter-disciplinary learning, and provide students with the chance to plan their life.

In a high school in Jiangxi Province, I carried out an investigation to analyze the possibility and feasibility of the optional course, based on which I set the curriculum goal, the development principle, and the selection standard.
