First, the combination of teaching materials, infiltration of environmental knowledge, to stimulate students' feelings of environmental protection
Infiltrating environmental education into English classroom teaching can make students understand the importance of environmental protection in many ways, at many levels and from many angles, and make "environmental protection" take root in students' hearts and really put it into action.
1, in vocabulary teaching
Vocabulary teaching is an important part of English teaching, so environmental education can penetrate into vocabulary teaching. For example, in the second volume of New Standard English, animal words such as panda, bird, lion and elephant appeared. Let the students know that the panda is our national treasure and a precious animal that only lives in China. Some endangered animals, such as Bengal tigers and elephants, have taken effective protection measures all over the world. From these vocabulary teaching, students can be educated to love animals and protect the ecological environment.
2. In conversation teaching
Dialogue teaching plays an important role in primary school English textbooks, and it can also penetrate the content of environmental education. For example, when I teach Book 7 of the New Standard English, there are some warning signs such as: Don't walk on the grass. This can also encourage students to tell some examples of caring for the environment that they often encounter in daily life, so that environmental protection knowledge can be harmoniously integrated into English classes.
3. In the classroom practice
Classroom exercises, in addition to consolidating the knowledge learned, can also be designed to infiltrate environmental education. We did this exercise, put these words in a picture, and let the students identify the colors. For example, when reviewing words such as bird, sky, boat, plane, girl, boy, etc. I guide the students to look at the pictures carefully and color them: green trees and mountains in the distance, clear water rippling near; Some people have a picnic on the beach, and some people swim freely in the water. In the sky, children are flying kites and model planes. Man and animals, man and plants, man and nature, what a harmonious picture! Guide students to analyze this picture, so that students can yearn for the beautiful scenery of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and this kind of consciousness and emotion is exactly what our environmental education needs.
Second, the infiltration of environmental education in classroom teaching
Infiltrating environmental education into English classroom teaching can make students understand the importance of environmental protection in many ways, at many levels and from many angles, and make "environmental protection" take root in students' hearts and really put it into action.
1, infiltrating environmental education in Let's learn teaching.
Vocabulary is the basic material of language and an important part of English teaching, so environmental education can be infiltrated into vocabulary teaching. For example, when teaching Unit4 in the third grade of primary school English, animal words such as monkey, panda, rabbit, elephant and bear appeared. I try my best to let the students know that pandas are China's national treasures and only exist in China, and golden monkeys are China's first-class protected animals. Countries all over the world have taken effective measures to protect some endangered animals, such as elephants and Bengal tigers. From these vocabulary teaching, students can be educated to love animals and protect the ecological environment. For another example, when I was teaching Unit6, the third grade of primary school English, there was a plane throwing. I suggested throwing your garbage into the trash can, supplemented by actions to help students understand and guide them to develop good hygiene habits from an early age.
2. Infiltrate environmental education into story time teaching.
For example, when teaching story time, I said, "I can take out the garbage." At this time, I asked a question: What do you remember to do? Students have different opinions, but no one knows what else to do when taking out the garbage. Under my repeated guidance, a female classmate timidly said, "Is it a battery?" I praised her and told them that the waste batteries should be put into the waste battery recycling box and not thrown away casually, otherwise it would pollute our environment. They looked at me suspiciously, as if to say: How is this possible? When the power is running out, we will put a bite in our mouth; When we use them, we will play with them or throw them on the ground or in the pond at will. We don't see anything wrong. To this end, I didn't give them the answer directly, but gave them a homework assignment: check the relevant information of used batteries online, and I will tell you what I think of used batteries next class. When I walked into the classroom in the second class, I was very excited. I was told about the harm of used batteries and made clear how to deal with them in the future. But also vowed: after returning, we should tell our family about the relevant knowledge. Isn't that what we're after?
3. Infiltrate environmental education into the teaching of let's sing.
Children's songs have the characteristics of beautiful melody, lively rhythm and catchy, and are deeply loved by primary school students. Compiling environmental protection knowledge into children's songs or action songs not only helps students learn English knowledge, but also infiltrates environmental protection knowledge into students, killing two birds with one stone. Why not? For example, teaching Cambridge English level Unit 1 What's your name? Sometimes after learning the original nursery rhyme, it is changed to: 123, love every tree. Four, five, six, pick up the stick. 7890, stop throwing it away. Through the rap of this nursery rhyme, let the students know that they should take care of flowers and trees, starting from me. For another example, when teaching "Let's Sing-Boys and Girls" published by Unit 1, we should educate students to be United and friendly, and make good friends, from which we can draw the conclusion that we humans should also make good friends with animals and plants (that is, nature). So, teachers and students changed the lyrics to: I am a monkey and you are a boy/girl. Do you want to be my friend? I am a boy/girl and you are a monkey. Yes I want to be your friend. For another example, when teaching the song "Mom and Dad", I changed my parents into plants and animals, so that the original song became: I love plants. I like animals. They are good for me. They are good for me. By humming songs, students can learn to love and protect the nature on which we live.
3. Infiltrate environmental education in extracurricular activities
Extracurricular English activities are an extension of classroom teaching. English knowledge can be put into practice, so that students can play while learning, which not only improves their interest in learning English, but also cultivates their awareness of environmental protection. For example, in the fifth and sixth grades, students can make English environmental protection slogans for campus flower beds, trees and pools. By combining their book knowledge: don't hurt flowers! Don't pick flowers! Don't hurt trees! Don't climb trees! ) Keep it clean! (Keep it clean! ) Be quiet! Please be quiet! ) No spitting! Please don't spit everywhere! ) Don't throw paper! Don't litter! ) love fish! (care for small fish! ) and other English slogans. Let students learn and apply English while making slogans, and at the same time educate them to cherish the environment where we live and study, start from small things and protect the ecology.
In a word, the problem of environmental pollution is a global problem, which cannot be solved by one person. It needs the attention of all mankind. As primary school English teachers, it is our bounden duty to strengthen the education of students' environmental awareness in the teaching process. Combine environmental education, carry out colorful English activities, improve yourself, and start from the little things around you.
