Different people have different understandings of teaching ability. Some people think that teachers' teaching ability is mainly manifested in their love for education, students, comprehensive and in-depth mastery of teaching materials, flexible use of teaching methods, good at understanding students' learning and thinking, good at organizing teaching and educational activities, mobilizing each student's learning enthusiasm, and fluent and infectious language. Some people think that teachers' teaching ability refers to their oral expression ability, written expression ability, ability to analyze, understand and use teaching materials, classroom design ability, classroom organization teaching ability and multimedia teaching ability. In short, teaching ability refers to the comprehensive ability of teachers to impart their knowledge to students in teaching activities. The level of teachers' teaching ability determines the teaching quality of the school, so it is of great significance to improve teachers' teaching ability for the development of education, especially for the development of vocational education for secondary vocational students with low comprehensive quality.
Secondary vocational education is employment education. Most students will go to work immediately after finishing their studies at school, so the teaching quality of a school has a great influence on students' employment. If a school teacher's teaching ability is higher, the teaching quality of the school will definitely be better, students can learn more and more solid knowledge at school, and it is easier to find suitable jobs when they are employed, so teaching ability determines the teaching quality and affects students' employment. On the contrary, the results of a school participating in various skill competitions reflect the level of teachers' teaching ability, which can urge schools to take measures to improve teachers' teaching ability, so teaching quality is closely related to teaching ability.
At present, many secondary vocational schools offer basic English and specialized English courses in all majors. Mastering good English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills is of great help to students' further development after entering the society. However, due to the poor English foundation of most students, students do not attach importance to English. If teachers don't seriously study their teaching objects and pay attention to improving their teaching ability in the process of organizing teaching, it will inevitably lead to the result that "teachers don't want to teach and students don't want to learn". Therefore, English teachers should not only pay attention to improving the teaching ability that teachers in all subjects must have, but also have good English listening and speaking ability and the ability to organize second-class activities.
As we all know, the improvement of language ability needs constant practice, and practice makes perfect. To give students a glass of water, the teacher must first have a bucket of water. In order to improve listening and speaking ability, students must practice repeatedly. Just like a newborn baby learns to talk, parents should take pains to communicate with him. In this process, he will listen attentively and then imitate constantly. After a while, he can express himself clearly. In English teaching activities, teachers should also communicate with students in English as much as possible, so that students can listen and speak more. If the teacher's own English listening and speaking level is poor, how can he talk about creating opportunities for students to exercise? English learning can't be confined to the classroom, and extracurricular learning is also very important, so English teachers must be able to organize colorful second-class activities, such as English corner, English club and English evening. Provide a place for students to practice English and improve their interest in English. Whether the second classroom activities are rich or not often affects the improvement of students' English level in this school.
Due to the particularity of secondary vocational courses and the uniqueness of secondary vocational students, English teachers in secondary vocational schools must improve their teaching ability from the following aspects to improve teaching quality.
First, strengthen the theoretical study of pedagogy and psychology and improve their classroom organization ability. Pedagogy believes that the education of students includes at least five aspects: 1. Knowledge structure; 2. IQ (including cognitive ability, thinking ability, imagination ability, innovation ability, practical ability, independent work ability, organizational ability, team communication and cooperation ability, problem-solving ability tendency, etc.). ); 3. Emotional intelligence; 4. Will quality (including aesthetics, morality, setbacks, firm beliefs, etc.); 5. The code of conduct ... is simply five aspects: knowledge, wisdom, emotion, will and action. Teachers should conduct in-depth research and organize teaching from these aspects. The development and changes of social economy and politics, the progress of science and technology, and the changes of the party's major principles and policies have a direct impact on education. In addition, the teaching environment itself is constantly changing and students are also a variable factor. Therefore, teachers should adjust their knowledge and ability structure, concept and value system, and their thoughts and behaviors at any time according to the objective environment and the specific conditions of the educational objects. In addition, teachers should be good at controlling and restraining themselves, always be in the best mental state in front of students, infect students with optimism, and guide students to actively participate in classroom teaching. Teachers should adopt situational teaching method, game teaching method and other teaching methods to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and stimulate students' interest in learning English. At the same time, in the process of teaching, we should take some money and put it away, so that the whole teaching activity can be carried out in an orderly way.
Second, strengthen the study of business knowledge, improve their business ability, and become the "idol" for students to learn. A very important aspect of teaching ability is the professional ability of teachers. Only when teachers have a higher professional level can they improve the teaching quality. Improving teachers' professional level is a favorable guarantee for classroom teaching. It is hard to imagine that an English teacher can teach high-level students with inaccurate pronunciation and unclear English grammar points. However, in actual teaching, with the decline of students' quality in secondary vocational schools and the lack of attention to English, many English teachers feel that their English level has declined with the increase of teaching experience. In view of this situation, teachers should adjust their mentality and not give up learning business knowledge because students' English foundation is getting worse and worse. When you show in front of students that you know everything about your major, you will become the idol of students, and you will be more confident in your teaching ability, thus promoting your teaching. In this regard, the author has a deep understanding. After graduating from college for more than ten years, I have never stopped learning English, listening to English tapes, watching English movies, communicating with others in English, participating in some English activities and so on in my spare time. My major can basically maintain the previous level, so I can basically solve the problems raised by students in teaching, and the teaching is well received by students.
Three, to participate in all kinds of training, improve the ability to use multimedia teaching and control teaching materials. Multimedia teaching can deepen students' understanding of what they have learned and improve their interest in learning by showing them pictures and animations. Therefore, English teachers should take part in computer operation training, learn the application of POWERPOINT, FLASH and other software, make simple animations, and improve multimedia teaching ability. In addition, through training and study, we should know how to analyze and understand teaching materials and study their logicality, systematicness, rationality and scientificity. Only in this way can teachers grasp the key and difficult points and use the teaching materials with ease. Modern educational theory holds that any content that can influence students, educate them and enrich their knowledge can be used as teaching materials. Therefore, teachers' ability to control teaching materials should not be limited to textbooks, but also introduce extracurricular content related to disciplines appropriately to broaden students' knowledge.
Fourth, participate in various teaching seminars, exchange teaching experience, and improve their classroom teaching design ability. Classroom teaching design is a process of using systematic methods to analyze classroom teaching problems and determine teaching objectives, establish strategic solutions to problems, try solutions, evaluate the results of attempts and modify solutions. It aims at optimizing teaching effect and is based on learning theory, teaching theory and communication theory. It requires teachers to prepare carefully, determine the teaching objectives and plans to achieve them, such as how to lead in, how to ask questions, how to get straight to the point, and what kind of homework to assign. , but also consider the appropriate teaching methods and teaching means. The improvement of classroom teaching design ability is not a one-off event, it needs teachers to strengthen theoretical study, practice, reflection and summary. Participating in teaching seminars and exchanging teaching experience with peers is of great help to improve the ability of classroom teaching design.
5. Keep learning and summarizing to improve the organizing ability of the second classroom activities. The first lesson is wisdom, the second lesson is art, and the second lesson is the second position of teaching. English teachers must have a strong sense of responsibility, with full enthusiasm, strengthen cooperation with colleagues and students, organize English activities in the second classroom, constantly sum up experience, visit and learn the second classroom activities in other schools, so as to improve their second classroom organization ability.
The school is a place to train people, and the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of the whole society should be regarded as the starting point and destination of teaching, which is the new requirement for the development of educational science and the cultivation of qualified talents with all-round development. As English teachers in the new century, facing the students with different qualities, we should keep pace with the times, constantly improve our teaching ability, and train more compound secondary technical talents to meet the needs of society.
