Games are an important part of children's lives, and their imagination activities are extremely active, so their games are also very interesting. They can add symbolic meaning to anything they imagine. For example, a leaf can be used as a plate when playing house and as money when shopping. When they were playing together, a doll fell into the sea of carpets, and a toy ambulance would come to the rescue immediately. Every game has the meaning of children's self-esteem, and any game contains the key to open the door to children's hearts. I integrate English teaching into the game, which embodies the educational concept of taking children as the main body established by teachers. For example, after learning the English names of cats, dogs, ducks, chickens and other small animals, the teacher asked four children to put on the headdresses of these four animals and play the game of "animals squat, squat, squat". Those who wear kitten headgear are free to let other children squat. The child squatted with her hands akimbo and said, "Cat crouch, cat crouch, cat crouch." When the children wearing duckling headgear heard this, they squatted down with their hands akimbo and said, "Duck squatting, duck squatting, duck squatting is over." According to this cycle, this game can not only consolidate the learned words, but also greatly mobilize the children's learning enthusiasm, so that every child can actively participate in the game and cultivate their interest in learning English.
Second, give full play to children's performance ability and cultivate children's interest in learning English.
Performing activities can cultivate children's creativity. After the children learned the English names of small animals, I consolidated the words I learned by acting. For example, the teacher first makes an action to let the children guess what small animal it is, and then let them play freely and perform on stage by themselves. Let's guess. The children behaved very well: some showed their hands and crossed their fingers on both sides of their mouths to show their lovely cats; ; Some put two small hands on their heads, and each hand stretches out two fingers, jumping forward and showing lively rabbits; ; Other children opened their eyes wide and showed their teeth to show fierce and warm tigers .................................................................................................................................................................
Third, learn English easily by singing and dancing.
It is children's nature to be active and have fun. According to children's characteristics, designing children's singing and dancing in teaching can fully arouse children's enthusiasm and let them learn English in a relaxed environment. For example, after learning the words hand, head, arm, finger, shoulder, leg, toe, foot, etc. Let's make these difficult English words into some treasures: clap your hands. Shake your head. Raise your arm. Wiggle your fingers. Twist your shoulders. Bend your legs. Touch your toes and stamp your feet. Please sit down. Chinese meaning: clap your hands. Shake your head. Raise your arm. Twist your fingers. Twist your shoulders. Bend your legs. Touch your toes and stamp your feet. Please sit down. Children talk and do, which makes the classroom atmosphere full of vitality and achieves the effect that children can respond with English thinking. Another example is: when learning to express colors in English, in addition to using intuitive teaching methods to show pictures of various colors, children are also taught to sing color songs. Let the children not only learn spoken English, but also be influenced by music.
Fourth, connect with the reality of life and stimulate children's interest in learning.
Most children are curious about learning English, and they begin to show strong interest in new things and new knowledge, which can be said to be just a "three-minute hot air". Therefore, I combine life practice in letter teaching, create life situations, arouse children's enthusiasm, and achieve good results. For example, when learning the letter "O", the teacher asked the children, what does "O" look like to you? "Some children say it's like a bracelet, some say it's like a life buoy, and some say it's like the sun. So all the children took part in this activity. Another example is: children enter the park to see the teacher in the morning, and the teacher actively says "good morning" to the children, and the children also say "good morning to Teacher Zhang" to the teacher. This kind of activity improves children's ability to communicate in English, cultivates their interest in learning English, and makes them develop from "I want to learn" to "I want to learn".
Fifth, create English situations to stimulate interest in learning.
A happy mood is the basis of effective study. Use toys to create an atmosphere for learning English, and induce children to try it themselves, so that the mastery of sentence patterns is in a state of natural extraction with life experience, which conforms to children's psychological characteristics and enhances the learning effect. For example, when teaching the sentence "It's time to get up", I put a bear toy on the toy crib, and the bear lies on the crib, sleeping with a small pillow and quilt. I put on the bear headdress and apron to play the role of mother bear. Mother Bear went to Little Bear's bed and whispered, "Little Bear. It's time to get up. " At this moment, the bear didn't move and didn't want to get up. Then I said softly, "Bear. It's time to get up. " Bear still didn't get up, so I said anxiously, "Bear, it's time to get up." Bear still doesn't get up. I shook bear with my hand and said loudly, "Bear, it's time for bear to get up!" " Bear still doesn't get up. Mother bear said to the children, "Tell the bear to get up, but it just won't get up." Children, who will wake up the bear? " Children see mother bear wake up little bear, but little bear doesn't get up. They all wanted to wake up the bear, raised their hands one after another and rushed to the front to wake up the bear. In this way, it creates an environment for children to express themselves in English, which makes the teaching change from children's passive repetition of sentences with teachers to children's active expression, leaving a deep impression on children's minds and getting twice the result with half the effort.
Sixth, timely and appropriate encouragement and praise to improve children's interest in learning English.
There is a saying that "good children are boastful", right! Man is an animal eager for praise and reward. Everyone hopes that their little progress can be recognized by others, and they hope to hear compliments from others. The child's heart is pure and sensitive. When they hear teachers' praise, affirmation and encouragement in educational activities, their enthusiasm and interest in learning will also rise. In the process of English teaching, I always praise and encourage my children. In addition to language encouragement, I also praise the children who won the game and encourage the children who didn't win. This greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of children to learn English.
