Article 1: Journal of English Teaching and Research

English teachers can tolerate students' mistakes, but not their own. "This sentence made me think deeply, and my academic accomplishment needs to be improved. The theme of Professor Shu's lecture is "Junior Middle School English Teaching Methods and Skills". We listened to the lecture without rest for three hours in a row, which added nutrition to my teaching:

First, jointly create a reasonable educational environment.

1. Establish an educational atmosphere with different subject characteristics.

As we all know, mainland students with high scores and low abilities cannot live in HKU and are forced to drop out of school. This story left a deep thought for our teaching. The names of classrooms in western countries and Guangdong are "classrooms" rather than "classrooms" because each classroom has a strong educational atmosphere. For example, in chemistry class, there are stories of people who have made achievements in chemistry from all over the world, stories of families and stories of students, creating a specific chemistry learning atmosphere, and all disciplines are like this. Such an educational environment is worth learning, and we should also create such an inspiring atmosphere in English teaching.

2. Cultivate interdisciplinary innovative students.

The new curriculum reform requires the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents with comprehensive skills, and it is natural for universities to require foreign language majors to attend classes in the literature department. As English teachers, we should not be the transmitters of knowledge, but should understand all aspects of knowledge, expand our humanistic quality, learn from students in a society with multiple intelligences, and learn from both teachers and students.

Teaching should not be like "the blind touch the elephant".

All subjects can't go it alone, because such a teacher is like "the blind touch the elephant" and can't let the students develop in an all-round way. Therefore, we should take care of each other in teaching.

Second, the quality of English teachers is in urgent need of improvement.

1. English teachers should establish an English education view and a scientific education view.

Belief restricts teachers' behavior, and teachers should regard students as teaching partners. Your own understanding of the language determines your teaching attitude. Language is not flat, but three-dimensional.

2. English teachers should have a firm view of English language.

English teachers should not only have their own ontological knowledge, but also be good English users in the environment of teaching English abroad. English teachers must organize teaching in English to create opportunities for students to learn and acquire knowledge in English. English teachers should also strengthen the study and training of language features such as pronunciation and intonation, instead of being "grammar teachers". In English class, in order to make students speak English better, we can tolerate students' mistakes, but we can never tolerate our own mistakes, because we affect a group of students. You can't give up the requirement of teaching English in English. Teachers should be strict with themselves and tolerant of students.

3. Healthy personality psychology.

An English teacher should be a caring person in education, who keeps learning and studying, is good at cooperation and communication, and has good psychological endurance, tolerance and humility.

Third, English teaching skills

1, flexible use of teaching materials

Teachers can use teaching materials selectively, and the book Teachers provided by teachers is also very good. If it suits your students, you should make good use of it.

2. Teaching strategies to stimulate motivation

A large number of cramming teaching deprives students of the process of thinking, students have no time and space to deal with their own problems in their studies, and teachers should not take up students' time. At the same time, we should use positive attribution methods to analyze students' problems, teach students in accordance with their aptitude and stimulate students' learning motivation.

3. Question setting should be flexible.

When presenting questions on ppt, there should be poor information. Show "birthplace" on the screen and ask the students "Where were you born?" Students can practice listening and speaking through brain thinking, and both skills have been trained.

4. Pronunciation and intonation are taught in context.

Students' learning intonation is boring, and teachers should guide students to learn intonation in context. In addition, when practicing intonation, the same information is often at the beginning of the sentence, which can guide students to read from the back to the front, and the information behind is more important. Poor listening is a problem of students' pronunciation, and the wrong intonation will hinder students' understanding.

It can be seen that English teachers should faithfully and firmly improve their English language features and create their own teaching methods according to certain theories.

Chapter 2: Journal of English Teaching and Research.

There is no end to learning. "To give students a bowl of water, you have to have a bucket of water." In today's society with knowledge explosion, teachers should keep learning and study all their lives to make themselves an endless river. Only the source of living water can have life and vitality. Using traditional teaching methods to explain mechanically, treating them purely as containers of knowledge and spoon-feeding them, they are not interested in the boring and cold grammar and vocabulary in their eyes, so they can't talk about their enthusiasm and initiative in learning. Personally, I think the core issues of interesting teaching are: building a harmonious relationship between teachers and students; A relaxed and pleasant learning environment; Flexible teaching methods are adopted, so that students can use them in learning and learning, stimulate interest, take the initiative to learn and improve efficiency. Because teachers' qualities are different, teaching objects are different, and teaching materials are used differently, there is no fixed model for interesting teaching. But these aspects discussed in interesting teaching are the same as the effect to be pursued. This paper wants to talk about some humble opinions in order to arouse the interest of colleagues and discuss this issue in order to promote English teaching in middle schools.

First, harmonious teacher-student relationship

Teaching and learning are contradictory. As representatives of both sides of the contradiction, how to coordinate the relationship between teachers and students is very important for the completion of teaching objectives. Teachers should go deep into students, mingle with them, understand the changes of students' interests, hobbies, joys and sorrows, always care for students, love them, respect them and help them in a targeted way. Let you be not only a respectable teacher in the eyes of students, but also an amiable intimate friend of students. Of course, this does not mean that their shortcomings cannot be criticized and can be left unchecked. That is, criticism and praise are for the same purpose to love them. Therefore, the way of criticism is more important than criticism itself. Let them not hurt their self-esteem and their personality not be insulted. Let them feel from the heart that the teacher's criticism is sincere love, sincere love and help. In this way, the relationship between teachers and students will be harmonious, we will feel harmony and we will be interested in learning.

Second, create a relaxed and pleasant learning environment.

Traditional teaching models and methods are always "centralized" by teachers, and students are always instilled in the classroom. Students are always in a passive and passive learning position, and there is nothing easy and pleasant to talk about, so there is no interest to talk about. Even those students who study hard regard themselves as the memory of knowledge and do so for the sake of grades. But most of them give up English learning gradually because they are not interested, which leads to polarization and poor teaching quality. Classroom environment has a great influence on stimulating students' interest in learning, and teachers' responsibility lies in creating a relaxed and happy learning environment for students. To do this, teachers should devote themselves to classroom teaching with full enthusiasm, and should have free and easy appearance, full spirit, relaxed and happy expression, kind eyes, cordial attitude, generous and elegant manners, concise speech, pure and fluent language, standardized and beautiful calligraphy, and reasonable and eye-catching layout design.

In order to dilute the impression of traditional teaching. It is necessary to achieve "entertaining", "combining static and dynamic", "combining learning with application" and "cooperation between teachers and students". Before class, the teacher can tell a humorous joke and proverb in English that the students understand and roughly understand according to the teaching content, and can also let the students practice English conversation for three minutes before class, speak freely and sing an English song collectively. So as to enliven the atmosphere and stimulate students' interest. Finish the warm-up activities before teaching.

An English proverb says, "A good beginning is half the battle. We should pay attention to art when introducing new courses. According to the teaching content, suspense can be set to attract students; You can also ask a thought-provoking question to catch the students; You can also start with visual teaching AIDS and demonstrations. In teaching, you can't move the teaching materials. Read it out loud and quietly, even if it is teaching. We should be good at using people and things in class and visual teaching AIDS such as pictures, wall charts and stick figures to set up scenes. Language is always associated with scenes. Without scenes, there is no language. With the scene, students can be impressed, and the sound, shape and meaning can be organically combined, so that they can learn interestingly and master accurately. Teachers should avoid tedious, complicated and heavy explanations (that is, tedious, messy and repetitive). To be precise, it's boring. In order to turn speeches into questions, students spend a lot of time participating instead of being bystanders, using what they have learned and learning from it. Only such students are interested. In practice, we should pay attention to satisfying students' desire for success. Different levels of questions and language materials should be practiced by students of different levels and levels. In this way, every student can taste the joy of success and a sense of accomplishment. This has greatly stimulated interest and doubled enthusiasm. Once students make mistakes, don't complain, reprimand or blame, but pay attention to the skills of error correction to protect students' enthusiasm from setbacks. A class is a complete work of art, which needs not only a good beginning and development, but also a good ending. According to different situations, students can set a new "suspense" before class, leave an intriguing question, replay the recording of the text, and let students summarize the main contents of this lesson and sing a song.

Third, the teaching methods should be flexible and interesting.

The single teaching method is boring. No matter how good the method is, it will lose its charm if it is used frequently. In order to stimulate students' interest, keep students' interest and consolidate students' interest, teachers should study the teaching materials carefully. According to the different teaching contents such as beginner, consolidation and review, we can't adopt the same method, which requires teachers to make painstaking efforts and keep exploring and pursuing. In teaching, this should be a place where teachers can make great achievements. When we begin to teach words, we can make full use of direct teaching AIDS, such as teaching football. We pointed to the football and said, "What is this? This is a football. Football, football once again impressed the sound, shape and meaning of football on students' minds. When they see football in the future, they will blurt out football, football, without Chinese translation as an intermediary; Teaching vocabulary is also teaching thinking. If you review vocabulary, you can do "guessing", such as reviewing terms such as bell, football, pen, book, car and jeep. We can put the prepared small objects, pictures and models on the platform, let the students have a look at them first, then put them under the stage, secretly put a book in the prepared big bag, then take it out and ask them with the sentence patterns they have learned:

T: What's in my bag? Students guess and then answer (suitable for singles)

This is a football. If the answer is wrong, say it.

T: No, don't ask another student.

T: what's this? Students guess and answer.

This is a book. That's right. The teacher encouraged the students to speak.

T: Yes, you're right.) If you learn to be smart, you can go further.

T: You are very clever.

Then change another one to continue. And so on, not only reviewed the words, but also became familiar with sentence patterns and practiced listening and speaking. Students did not regard learning as a chore, but participated in it with great interest.

At the beginning of teaching sentences, a listening contest can be held to see who speaks the sentence first and who reads it well. Then word group sentence competitions and so on can improve students' interest, which is much better than the teacher talking over and over again and the students reading over and over again.

Teaching texts can take many forms according to different genres and contents at different stages, such as simulating dialogue, playing roles, telling stories, telling the main idea, changing characters, changing dialogue into narrative, changing narrative into dialogue, improvising oral composition, speaking with pictures, writing sentences and so on. In this way, the dead textbooks will be used flexibly, and students will be interested in learning and have more opportunities to use them. The effect must be a combination of in-class and out-of-class activities.

Foreign language teaching should focus on the classroom and emphasize quality in 45 minutes. But to learn English well, it is not enough to attend English classes several times a week. Therefore, we should vigorously carry out extracurricular teaching activities. But this kind of talk should not be a continuation of in-class teaching, nor should it be an unorganized indulgence. Teachers should organize students according to different classes, levels, levels and hobbies. For example, training the backbone purposefully, holding English games, concerts, recitations, speech competitions, word recognition and dictation competitions, composition competitions and listening competitions. , can be carried out in each class, can also be carried out in the same grade, the whole school. Its purpose is to enliven students' extracurricular life, consolidate the knowledge learned in class, create an English atmosphere, cultivate students' interest in learning English, and make the combination inside and outside class complement each other.

Chapter 3: Journal of English Teaching and Research.

During my online study, I watched the wonderful lecture "Teaching Design and Case Analysis of Junior High School English Listening and Speaking Course" by Cheng An, a part-time researcher and senior teacher of Beijing No.50 Middle School. Appreciate the expert's educational style and advanced educational theory. This training made me understand the latest trends and trends in the development of junior high school English education; Let me learn more ways to improve my own quality and teaching level; Let me realize the educator's broad mind and optimistic working attitude from the bottom of my heart; As a teacher, we should constantly study, reflect and research in teaching practice to enrich our knowledge in order to meet the needs of social development and the pace of educational reform.

This lecture mainly expounds that cultivating students' listening and speaking ability is one of the basic goals of junior high school English teaching. Therefore, listening and speaking teaching is the most widely used course in junior high school. This course is mainly about the discussion that "effective classroom teaching design can obtain more vivid teaching effect". Listening and speaking is both a teaching purpose and a teaching means. Improving students' listening and speaking ability and practical language use ability is the core of this course. Effectiveness, vividness and closeness to students' life are the central themes of this course. Then, under the new curriculum standard, talk about my future teaching plan in combination with reality:

First, pay more attention to cultivating students' interest in learning.

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. The teaching language introduced by teachers into the new curriculum is ingenious, reasonable and vivid, which can fully attract students' attention, arouse their excitement and stimulate their interest in learning. Traditional Zhang Hui's novels, or storytellers, come to an abrupt end at a critical moment: "If you want to know what will happen in the future, please listen to the next chapter." This is a suspense, that is, setting suspense to arouse the audience's exploration of the next situation. This is very enlightening to our teaching work. As a teacher, if we can make students want to listen more and more, it means that students' interest in learning has been fully mobilized by us. To achieve this state, it is necessary to constantly create "problem situations" in teaching, so that the teaching process becomes a process of interest, inspiration, questioning and solving doubts.

Second, to cultivate students' awareness of active participation in classroom teaching

The best way to learn knowledge is to discover it by yourself, because this kind of discovery is the deepest to understand and the easiest to grasp the internal laws, nature and connections. One of the English concepts formed in middle school is the experimental concept, which is based on a large number of English phenomena.

The other is based on the existing concepts and laws, which is obtained by deductive reasoning, that is, inferential concepts. Only when students actively participate in teaching activities, give them enough time to practice, speak and think, and through the process of observation, analysis, reasoning and synthesis, can we fully understand the connotation and extension of English concepts and fully grasp the essence of the law.

Therefore, in junior high school English teaching, I consciously and carefully design some interesting contents that help to understand the text, guide students to try to find problems, ask questions and participate in solving problems, thus improving students' active participation consciousness and truly embodying students' subjectivity.

Third, teachers should change the traditional teaching concept.

To implement the new curriculum, we must first reform our concepts. Break through the framework, abandon the backward and illegal traditional concepts, and establish a modern educational concept that embodies the spirit of quality and adapts to the new curriculum as soon as possible. Nowadays, the reform of middle school English textbooks has laid the foundation for the change of teachers' ideas, but exams are still the baton of teaching. As an English teacher, I should know how to find a balance between these two points, pay attention to cultivating students' language application ability, and let students learn a language by using vocabulary. So I should not only pay attention to the all-round development of students, but also admit that students are living people with great potential and personality differences. Moreover, it is necessary to change the habit of letting students follow their own steps in the past and guide students to learn independently. Only by creating a strong autonomous learning atmosphere, arousing students' initiative consciousness and stimulating their learning desire can they really mobilize their learning potential, conduct autonomous learning and truly become the masters of classroom learning.

Fourth, use effective methods for teaching.

With the continuous development of teaching, the new teaching concept puts forward higher requirements for our English teachers. Combined with the current situation of junior high school English teaching, how to teach effectively in junior high school English class is a new challenge for me. Therefore, in English classroom teaching, more effective teaching methods are needed to achieve effective teaching results. The proper choice and application of teaching methods and means is the main form of teachers' creativity and educational artistic expression. There are rules to teach and rules not to teach. According to the teaching content, teaching purpose, teaching object and actual situation, as well as my personal teaching style and specialty, different teaching methods are determined. For example, according to the playful nature of junior high school students, I interspersed game activities, tongue twisters, comparisons, etc. in the classroom, making the original boring and mechanical word learning and sentence pattern practice lively and interesting. Because physical objects can attract students' attention best, real scenes can make them feel more cordial, natural and credible. I will continue to use visual AIDS or audio-visual means to assist teaching, mobilize students to use multiple senses at the same time, and strengthen their perception of the materials they have learned, so as to enhance students' interest in learning, deepen their understanding, strengthen their memory and achieve ideal teaching results.

In short, through this online training, I understand the importance of the network; Let me know how to use network resources. In the process of teaching design in the future, I will study and explore the essential relationship between teaching and learning according to the teaching principles, application systems and scientific methods. Then the teaching content, teaching media, teaching strategies and teaching evaluation are specifically planned. In my teaching, I constantly encourage students to collect English related to life and open up a world of mutual communication and discussion in class. Through this form of resource interaction, classroom teaching is closely linked with social life.

Chapter Four: Journal of English Teaching and Research.

In English classroom teaching, it is often found that students in different classes or even the same class have uneven English foundation, and they almost lose interest or confidence in English learning. In particular, many students have not laid a good foundation in English learning in junior high school, and the curriculum in senior high school is difficult, so they lose interest and confidence in English learning. It is difficult to keep pace with teachers or classmates in high school English fast-paced and high-density classrooms, which brings great difficulties to the smooth implementation of classroom teaching. Therefore, if we don't reflect and verify students, knowledge and teaching methods in classroom teaching, it will be difficult for us to further develop and improve students' abilities in all aspects.

In the process of English classroom teaching, how to change teachers' teaching concepts, how to change teachers' roles, how to use cooperative means to teach, how to encourage students to play their subjective initiative, and how to change the function of students' brains from a simple "warehouse" to a "workshop" of knowledge. If we can solve these problems, we can achieve effective teaching and achieve the purpose of classroom teaching.

1. The change of teachers' ideas in English curriculum reform

From the connotation of learning, we should change "learning English in class" into "learning English in life".

Language comes from life and English is a language. Therefore, English comes from life and must return to life. Language can only be endowed with vitality and spirituality in life. Language emphasizes "communication and dialogue", so I advocate learning English in life, using English in activities and experiencing English in English teaching, so as to achieve the unified teaching idea of "learning by doing", "learning by doing" and "teaching by doing". That is, English teaching should be combined with real life, from the traditional "learning English in a single classroom" to "learning English flexibly and using English in life".

From the learning form, it changes "traditional indoctrination" into "interaction"

In traditional English teaching, teachers pay special attention to students' digestion of English knowledge in class, grasp knowledge points, pay attention to closed teaching of knowledge in class and ignore open learning of methods in and out of class. This traditional indoctrination makes students lack flexibility and creativity. To provide students with opportunities in the classroom to the maximum extent, so that students' main role can be fully reproduced. Training in listening, speaking, reading, writing, thinking and expression. Strive to make students the masters of learning. The teacher will let go of everything the students can do and let them learn, answer, test, do and evaluate themselves. All activities that students can participate in, such as dialogue training, short play performance, etc. Therefore, teachers should change the traditional teaching concept, teach students how to learn English, let students "learn" English and cultivate interactive learning between teachers and students, which is an important method in English teaching today.

2. English teaching reform and the change of teachers' roles

The "imparting knowledge" has become the "designer and planner of the situation"

Before the class activities begin, the teacher should be a planner first, he should determine the teaching content, and be aware of the key points and difficulties; At the same time, he must know the object, choose the appropriate teaching method according to the teaching content and teaching object, and carefully design various teaching activities. Generally speaking, colorful practical activities are more attractive than single and continuous indoctrination, and it is easier to stimulate students' sense of participation. Teachers should design different difficult tasks for students according to their personality characteristics and knowledge level, so as not to make students with poor foundation feel frustrated because the activities are too difficult to complete, nor to make students with good foundation lose interest because the tasks are simple, so as to benefit all students in practical activities as much as possible. It should be said that the success or failure of the whole teaching activity depends largely on the teacher's planning.

3. On the basis of autonomous learning, cooperative teaching method is adopted.

How to realize the optimized form of "multi-information, fast pace, high density and diligent repetition" in English class? Cooperative teaching is an effective form. Cooperative teaching is the cooperation between teachers and students and between students. Properly applying cooperative psychological endurance to promote the development of students' comprehensive quality.

Teacher-student cooperation.

Cross-century students are in an information and networking era, and the information of students in some fields is likely to exceed that of teachers. Therefore, teacher-student cooperation is a good way to encourage students to learn independently, and it is also a new development of the old saying that "teaching and learning learn from each other". For example, before teaching a new word or sentence, some students have been exposed to it in advance through other channels. I'll let the students read it first. After confirming that his pronunciation is accurate, he can imitate my usual new teaching methods and let other students learn this word or sentence. This not only stimulates students' curiosity and creative spirit, but also gives them opportunities to show themselves, and also opens up teachers' ideas.

Cooperation between students.

In the process of teaching English, I will rearrange the students' seats according to the teaching content, and divide them into groups with six people in each group. In English classroom teaching, teachers ask some questions for students to discuss in groups and finally solve them in cooperation, so that each student has the opportunity to express his own views. This can increase the practice opportunities among students, increase the density, and cultivate students' ability to think positively and practice boldly. In the whole classroom teaching activities, teachers should not only arouse students' enthusiasm for individual learning, but also promote cooperation among group members. Students learn in group cooperation, which makes learning more enjoyable, stimulates learning interest and improves learning efficiency. In cooperation, they face all students, attach importance to their individual differences and meet their different needs.

4. Constantly improve the comprehensive quality of teachers to adapt to the new situation of English classroom teaching.

In the English classroom reform, the requirements for teachers are also relatively high, so teachers should strive to do the following:

Teachers should constantly improve their emotional quality.

In order to make students have full enthusiasm and optimistic learning attitude, teachers should pay attention to the cultivation of their own emotional quality, and can't bring their troubles and disappointments to the classroom, thus affecting the learning effect of students.

Flexible use of teaching materials and activation of teaching materials.

The new curriculum standards are different from previous textbooks. First, the number of teaching materials is large, the scope is wide, and they are flexible and changeable. Teachers and students are required to cooperate vigorously, and listening, speaking, reading and writing are greatly improved in units. According to the previous teaching methods, it is difficult to complete the teaching tasks within the scheduled class hours. Second, the difficulty has increased, and the amount of new words and reading has nearly doubled. In view of this new change, how to complete the teaching task with good quality and quantity requires new measures. To activate its content, we should activate it in the classroom according to the original way of communication, and form different levels and forms of teaching activities, so that teachers and students can interact with each other.

There is no definite teaching method, and the teaching means are activated.

Learning knowledge, such as climbing mountains, is more and more difficult. It is necessary to activate teaching methods, reduce the learning gradient and make learning easier. Each unit of the new textbook has implemented four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing and their comprehensive application ability. Practice shows that inquiry learning can be used, because questions are the easiest to trigger inquiry reflection. Without the consciousness and enthusiasm of asking questions and the understanding and critical awareness of knowledge, there will be no innovation.

5. Expand knowledge and achieve mastery through a comprehensive study.

Faced with the new requirements of a large range of knowledge in textbooks, teachers should appropriately expand their knowledge and find some materials related to textbooks, which can be called collecting materials. Of course, on the other hand, students can also collect information through different channels, so as to find satisfactory solutions to problems and link them with existing knowledge, thus cultivating students' ability to explore new knowledge and critical thinking.

Therefore, we should carefully teach students to learn to learn, stimulate their self-confidence, improve their self-study ability, innovative thinking, language expression, mutual assistance and cooperation, and many other efforts. Let's work hard, explore and innovate constantly, shape our own teaching mode, and create a bright future for our senior high school English teaching.
