Characteristics of Oxford Children's English Textbooks
According to the physiological and psychological characteristics of primary school students, the textbook starts from a relatively simple starting point, just like the name of the textbook "LET'S GO! It also makes people feel relaxed and happy, no pressure, and children are easy to accept. In view of our primary school students who study English as a foreign language, they lack English language environment and have few opportunities to listen, speak, read and write outside class. This textbook focuses on the connection, repetition and consolidation of language knowledge between language levels and units. The illustrated teaching content stimulates the richness of children's associative thinking. In the teaching process, teachers encourage imitation, games, performances and other interactive teaching to stimulate students' interest in learning English and cultivate their positive attitude in learning English, so as to initially establish their self-confidence in learning English, cultivate students' good sense of language and pronunciation, form their daily communication ability in English and enhance their practical ability. Let's go provides many teaching methods that have been proved to be successful and used repeatedly in children's education. Such as MAT teaching method, TPR teaching method, language function teaching method, communicative teaching method, listening and speaking teaching method, grammar structure teaching method and so on.

(A) the story as the main content

According to children's love for stories, beautiful fairy tales are selected as the theme part of teaching content. Teachers introduce children into the fairy tale world in class, forget about the changes of the story, the ups and downs of emotions, eliminate the interference of mother tongue, speak English simply and neatly, and use this theme to promote the reform of teaching methods and means. Through audio-visual teaching, situational teaching and game teaching, teachers make extensive use of stick figures, so that children can communicate widely and use specific and distinctive characters and characters in fairy tales.

(B) the script as the main genre

According to the children's specific teaching objects, all the selected fairy tales are adapted into scripts, which is very different from the current English textbooks and is a major reform in textbook construction. In teaching, let children play various roles in the play, and learn to perform one scene at a time. After learning one, a pantomime has been rehearsed and can be staged. Through teaching and rehearsing performances, children's oral English communication ability has been improved rapidly. This method is more vivid and natural than virtual oral English teaching in isolated scenes, and the teaching effect is very obvious.

(C) games as the main teaching means

Games are the most interesting part of children's lives. According to children's nature, more than 100 kinds of classroom teaching games have been created, which are divided into word teaching games, sentence teaching games, pronunciation teaching games, poetry teaching games and consolidation review games from the teaching objectives. It can be divided into competitions, score guessing, role performance, listening and reaction, simulation, rhythm, tone sandhi games, etc. Classroom teaching games run through the teaching process of imitation, practice and flexible application. These teaching methods fully satisfy children's psychological needs of being fun, active, curious, competitive and praised, so that they can concentrate, feel high and think actively, and give full play to their learning potential. In game teaching, it is very common for children to learn one or twenty English sentences or dozens of words in one class.

At the same time, modern educational means such as VCD, multimedia, special software for teaching, e-books and electronic blackboards are used to make LET'S GO English teaching reach the leading level in China, and strive to explore a way to serve children's English teaching by using modern high-tech means.
