在《八年级英语牛津版8A Unit 2 Integrated Skills教案》中，教师明确指出了课程目标：学生能够掌握如何描述人物的外貌特征，并能够在交流中实现正确地使用这些描述性词汇。
教师还需要与学生沟通、讨论教学目标的重要性和可行性。
在教学初期，教师可以将目标的实现分解成一系列可行的小目标，以此方便学生更好、更快地掌握知识和技能。
在八年级英语牛津版8A Unit 2 Integrated Skills教学过程中，教师首先要学生阅读一篇短文，然后带领学生分析文中的人物特征，引导学生理解描述人物特征的相关词汇。
这一过程中，通过简单生动的语言和例子，教师将目标分解成了多个小目标：1.理解人物特征的相关词汇：教师展示词汇表，并分解相关单词、短语或句子，以此来让学生掌握新知识。
2.发挥想象力、描述人物：教师展示一些描写人物特征的例句，并带领学生通过描述一个人的特征来运用词汇。
3.加强交流技能：教师鼓励学生与他人分享自己对描绘人物外貌方式的理解，以此来检验学生掌握知识和技能的程度。
这些小目标的顺序和顺序的布局，也展示了教师在设定教学目标上的高明之处。
整个教学过程流畅自然，通过逐步达成小目标来实现整个大目标。
而在任务的设置中，教师还能够使用各种有趣的方法来激发学生的兴趣，并引导他们掌握新知识和技能。
在教学成功实现后，学生们能够认真地组织和描述一个人的外貌，真正实现了文化交流的最终目的。
而在教学目标的实现中，教师也真正实现了培养学生成就感这一目标。
毫无疑问，教学目标的清晰化对于教学整个过程的实现具有重要意义。
