Abstract

With the rapid advance of information technology, video has become one of the most important ways to obtain information for modern people. General Senior High School Curriculum Standards: English（2017 Edition, revised in 2020）has added viewing as a new skill which is as important as listening, speaking, reading and writing. As the significant part of multimodal discourse, video discourse is the main object to view. Video teaching can help students to learn culture nature, enrich life experience and form correct values. However, some educators have insufficient understanding of the viewing skills. They often simply ask students to watch videos but not guide students to dig deeply into the content of them. Therefore, this thesis is to illustrate how to guide students to apply viewing strategies and cultivate high school students’ viewing skills in video discourse based on the pre-viewing, while-viewing and post-viewing mode with teaching cases.
