As soon as I graduated, I went to a newly-built private school as a teacher. Generally, such schools do not have a strict employment system, especially normal graduates, who are like "omnipotent" saviors. I applied for mathematics, because my internship before graduation was also mathematics. For me, mathematics is experienced in teaching. But next semester, the headmaster suddenly asked me to teach English. Because there were more students in the school and two classes were expanded, I took the first step in English teaching.
The version we use is Hebei Education Edition. There is basically no grammar in the third and fourth grades, and the teaching content is very small. It doesn't seem difficult. As long as more interesting teaching methods are adopted, children can easily get it in a happy situation. My most commonly used methods are group performances and individual competitions.
Group performance method is to link the old and new contents of learning, so that students can freely create scenes and show them in the form of performance reports. For example, learning the 26 English letters of ABC, most teachers have taught ABC songs. Students can speak the order of 26 letters fluently in the process of singing, but it will be difficult to recognize. For example, BD PR OQ and so on, so I mobilize students to perform with their own limbs. Act in pairs, and the rest of the students will be tested below. If there is a better expression, welcome to show it on stage. What I remember most clearly is that a child with poor letter learning told me that the teacher remembered how to write G, and the action performed by Jas Pouch Lee and Zhirui in our class was G. It turned out that this poor student in my eyes turned out to be a master of situational memory!
The individual competition law is "going it alone". Individuals can do as the teacher asks. For example, they can recite a sentence, speak a daily language, and how much they have improved during the exam. You can give credit cards. When the integral reaches a certain value, you can cancel the integral and exchange it for the corresponding small gift. For example, a small notebook and a beautiful ruler can also be exchanged for a "death-free gold medal" and a "penalty-free card", which can excuse one's own mistakes and also "save others". This kind of reward is very effective for children living in private schools. They can't go home at ordinary times. Even if they have money at home and can buy a lot of things, it is not as meaningful as the rewards they earn.
I never thought that I would continue to teach English. I just think that teaching English in private schools is just an accidental opportunity. I always think I should teach math. After all, my teacher qualification certificate is junior high school mathematics. However, I am on my way to English teaching, and I have been on my way.
From September, 2065438 to September, 2006, I successfully came to Sunzhuang Campus, where I now teach, by recruiting personnel agents in the county. I met the headmaster before school started, and the headmaster asked me what I came for. I said I'd better teach math. However, the day before school started, when I was reassigned to teach, I couldn't find my name. Have you forgotten me? Just as I was about to ask, my name was written in the column of English teachers-Zhao Linlin, Class 3, Class 52. Seeing this arrangement, I have nothing to resist. After all, I have been an "English teacher" for three months.
In this way, my professional status as an English teacher was formally established. I spent a school year and followed them to the sixth grade. If I dare to say that grade three or five is so easy, then grade six is definitely a hurdle for me. Our school's English is one of the best in rural primary schools, even inferior to county-level schools. In the arrangement of sixth grade teachers, I am the only new teacher with one year's teaching experience, the rest are teachers with more than ten years' teaching experience, and three are my junior high school teachers. I am honored to sit among them. The headmaster encouraged me to say that I put you in the first year of grade five just to experience you!
At this point, I want to talk about my fifth grade English. The first month was full of horsepower, and the monthly exam results were unexpected. First of all! I am so happy that I think it is easy to be an English teacher. Later, with the passage of time, all kinds of review materials increased and students' tasks increased, but my English classroom teaching became worse and worse. There are often 5678 students who don't finish their homework, and even some students write other homework in our class. After repeated education, I thought to myself, whatever, when you reach the sixth grade, someone will treat you.
The teacher in the opposite class with me stunned me from the momentum. She is simply a "fighter among women", and I remember her intensity clearly. When the opponent started, he was even more afraid. I have to admit, her teaching achievements are remarkable, and her school's English achievements are also well-known, and half of them are because of her. I will steal from her, and I will do whatever she does. A class lasts 40 minutes. She can do two exercises in class and finish one exercise. She has a lot of homework, homework at noon, homework at night and homework after self-study in the morning. She will also drag the show occasionally. So, I adopted the strategy of asking ocean questions. As a result, I was half tired, and the children sometimes couldn't finish eating. My lecture is not as fast as hers, and I can't keep up with the rhythm at all. In two months, she wrote three more papers than I did.
I don't think I can compete with her anymore. At this rate, I will be dragged to death by her. Even dreaming at night is preparing lessons. So, I began to grasp the foundation according to the students' learning situation. I started reading and writing words and reciting original sentences in the last two months. Excellent students lay a solid foundation for "stretching", intermediate students lay a solid foundation for "jumping", and backward students grasp the foundation for "slow and steady". While leading students to review the "book-based" foundation, I am going to take wedding photos for the wedding. The final exam results came out, and my worry was unnecessary. The children in our class live up to expectations. Although I did a few less papers and missed a few classes, my score was not low and I didn't lose.
It is also with the teaching foundation of the fifth grade that I can gain the trust of the principal and put me, a rookie without hard wings, on the heavy responsibility of the sixth grade. I think, since we have embarked on the road of English teaching, we should simply accept it, admit it and fight for it. When it comes, we will be safe. What if you are unprofessional? As long as you are willing to explore, the difficulties are temporary.
When I first came to the sixth grade, other teachers were very relaxed. But I have to prepare lessons, read books, look up information and do problems every day. Others prepare a unit class, I will prepare a book class, others prepare a book class, and I will prepare the next book class. I don't know the test sites of Xiaoshengchu, and I don't know the teaching progress of Xiaoshengchu. So I went to ask, ask my classmates, ask my classmates.
I will also take part in open English teaching classes organized by some schools and make appropriate improvements after listening to other teachers' teaching suggestions. I will also spend time listening to other teachers and learn more about their teaching skills.
After the research plan of green pepper was completed at the end of April, I chose "Pepper English" which I firmly believe in. Every class here is very practical, and I also share it in my own time after class. I also joined the WeChat group of English learning in Jiao Zan, and exchanged ideas with a group of professional English teachers. I feel very happy. With organization, I am no longer alone. In the study of Zanthoxylum English, I got to know He Laoshi from Juxian County, Jiang Hui from Lianhua County, Li Juan from Shanxian County, and of course, Mr. Wu Ming, who always accompanied us.
After listening to teacher Wu Ming's class, I have a new impetus to English teaching. I often worry that I don't come from English, but Mr. Wu said that I don't come from a professional background, but I just like English, so I kept learning and learning, and I got today's achievements. I know that all my complaints are excuses. What I need is to keep charging, study more, and work hard while the iron is hot. The premise of giving a mermaid is that there is a fish in your heart.
My English teaching has just set sail. What I want to do is not to complain and defend, but to find more ways and learn more.
