Firstly, through the questionnaires and interviews with students and teachers, try to understand the present situation of inquiry lessons as well as their confusion and related suggestions. Then I analyze the result of the survey to put forward some factors affecting the development of inquiry lessons.

We made good preparations for every class, encouraged students to take an active part in class and established multi-evaluation mechanism. Meanwhile, we found students promoted in their cooperation awareness, inquiry ability, creativity, language expression capacity and practice capacity. On this basis, I actively promote inquiry lessons, at the same time, I present some students’ homework and their personal understanding.
