1. Function:

Listening: Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Listening is reading, and it is to read with ears." The students above speak, and the students below listen. From listening, you can Train students' ability to listen and distinguish sounds; from listening, students can train students' ability to pay attention, imagination, association, and memory; from listening, students can train students' quick and agile generalization, judgment, reasoning and other thinking abilities. Students listen to classmates' speeches, grasp key points, gain knowledge, expand their horizons, learn to use their hearing to collect information, and develop good obedient habits. At the same time, you can also learn more presentation skills and forms from the speeches of other students.

Say: Through speeches, students practice pronunciation and enunciation, intonation, tone, speaking speed, pauses, and posture language. This enables students to read accurately in tone, rhyme, and tone, and at the same time pay attention to mouth shape and articulation organs to ensure accurate and clear pronunciation of words and easy breathing. Improve language expression skills and overcome the problem of "dare not say what you want to say, but can't say what you dare to say, and can't say what you can say". Enable students to express different emotional colors through different tones and different pronunciation effects, and speak emotionally and full of emotions; enable students to appropriately use facial expressions, eyes, postures and gestures to achieve perfect harmony in oral expression and facial expressions Unification; make students' language vivid, interesting, humorous and other characteristics.

Reading: In order to give a good speech, students must prepare in advance. They collect information and materials from books, newspapers, movies, television, the Internet, and the local nature, humanity, and society. By reading a large number of healthy and beneficial books, it has great educational value for their self-cultivation and knowledge. It can play an edifying and subtle educational role in purifying their thoughts, cultivating their sentiments, influencing their hearts, and improving their emotions. Be inspired by excellent literary works and promote the formation of their positive life attitude and correct values ????in the subtle influence of emotional experience; cultivate their love and learning of science from scientific and technological readings; improve their understanding of things from philosophical articles and critical thinking; cultivate students' love for life and nature from social science media, and understand customs, human relations, natural scenery, and various interesting customs and many scenic spots around the world; understand the importance of our country and the world from news carriers Political events...

Write: During the preparation process of the speech, students must be fully prepared to summarize and organize the collected materials. Organize your language and clarify your thoughts. And write it down, and some even ask teachers for guidance. In order to give speeches, many students have developed the good habit of making excerpts, writing essays, and reciting beautiful essays. Students have a lot of language reserves, how can they build a building without poor language skills?

2. Method:

Pre-class speech is also like composition training. From the time students enter school to the time they leave school, there must be an overall plan and a step-by-step approach so that students can have something to say in their speeches. It can be said that they know where to start and guide students in reading, collecting information, and presentation skills and methods at various stages. I mainly divided it into the following steps:

1. Introduce yourself. Students have just entered school and are very unfamiliar with each other. They need to get to know each other and it is necessary to introduce themselves. When students introduce themselves, the teacher should tell them in advance the content and method of the introduction, and ask them to try to be novel in form, rich in content, distinctive, individual, and attractive, so that everyone can remember it after your introduction. Stay with you and be careful not to follow what others say. A classmate introduced it this way, and I still remember it fresh: "There was an ugly duckling. From the day she was born, her father, mother, grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts... all disliked her because she was a little girl. , She really wants to become a white swan one day and fly freely in the sky..."

2. Talking about advertising slogans. Advertising is very familiar to everyone. It reproduces the corporate image. The window is the eyes through which consumers understand the product. With the acceleration of commodity marketization, advertising has entered people's lives in various forms. Students are exposed to it the most in their lives, and they will not feel that they have nothing to say. Students first collect advertising slogans from newspapers, TV, radio and other media, show the advertisements to their classmates during their speech, and then analyze the advertising slogans from a Chinese perspective.

Through studying a large number of advertising slogans, many students have understood the application of Chinese common sense such as parallelism, puns, homophony, parallelism, and rhyme in daily life. It not only enriches their Chinese knowledge, but also arouses their interest in learning and using Chinese. Many students imitated the advertising slogan, which not only enlivened the classroom atmosphere, but also inspired their enthusiasm for learning Chinese and made them aware of its wide range of uses. The students' speeches also came in various forms: some students brought a recording of an advertisement into class, some two students performed the advertisement together, and some even wrote and created their own advertisement...

3. Speaking Say your favorite quotes. Famous aphorisms originate from life, are high-level summaries and summaries of life, and play an encouraging, warning and spurring role in people's lives. I ask students to tell famous quotes and aphorisms, their favorite ones, or the ones they feel the most about. In addition to speaking sentences, they are also required to talk about their understanding, feelings, and inspiration based on life examples. In order to make a good speech, students chose many sentences, thought about them, and reorganized them. They received a lot of lessons from them, accumulated knowledge, and enriched their language. The students who listened also benefited a lot. Sentences like the following are relatively common in their compositions: You once said to me that you should be careful in choosing friends, and you also said that the moon can be full again when it is missing. Your profound knowledge reveals your magnanimous gentlemanly demeanor. If you know how to cherish the waning moon, you will gain the eternal beauty in the world.

4. Tell allusions or idiom stories. Allusions refer to words or historical facts from ancient books that are often used by later generations. Idioms come from ancient fables and historical stories. They have been refined through practice and can express specific complex meanings concisely and often vividly. By collecting allusions or idiom stories and telling them to everyone, as well as explaining the application of idioms and the issues that should be paid attention to in application, students can enrich their knowledge of idioms and make the listeners and speakers have a lot of fun. harvest. This will not only enrich the language, but also learn the origins of many allusions and idioms, thus deepening your understanding of them and making them more comfortable to use.

Through speeches, students have accumulated extracurricular materials. Students generally feel that speeches have broadened everyone's horizons and broadened their knowledge. The speech was like "one stone stirs up a thousand waves", and a good atmosphere of chasing after each other was formed in the class, and everyone seemed to have endless energy. The speech enhanced the understanding of the students. After each speech, I would ask his classmates to comment, so that the students could understand each other and tolerate each other, thus forming an atmosphere of unity and harmony in the class. The students were indeed I felt the benefits of speaking before Chinese class. I warn students: Speech is an important means for human beings to exchange ideas, explain opinions, and disseminate information. It is an important way and one of the means of publicity; it is also a good way for speakers to show themselves and promote themselves. Our pre-Chinese class speech is only a small part of the entire speech. The road to speech is long and we still need to continue to explore and work hard. In addition, in this era of competition, students must dare to express themselves and put their best efforts into practice. Put yourself on a stage to show yourself, so that you will grow faster and stronger.

Future careers have a common requirement for talents, which is to be good at speaking. The ability to express yourself "eloquently" is an important tool to enhance your competitiveness. If two people with the same level of knowledge are put together, of course the one who is quick-thinking and eloquent will be favored; the one who cannot express his ideas will be eliminated. However, in today's Chinese teaching, teachers often only focus on the cultivation of "listening", "reading" and "writing" abilities, while neglecting the training of "speaking" abilities. Carrying out the "Three Minutes Pre-class Speech" activity in class, allowing every student to come up and give a speech, has many benefits in terms of training students' "speaking" abilities:

1. It is beneficial to students' courage of exercise.

Teachers all commented that the students in elementary school were innocent and not shy, and they responded enthusiastically to the teacher’s questions in class. But in junior high school, I became shy and reserved, and even the greetings between teachers and students before class became quieter and quieter. There is no atmosphere at all when asking questions in class. I am lucky enough to avoid being called out by the teacher. Even if I know the answer, I don’t like to show it off.

Is this an unchangeable fact? I believe that a person's courage is forced out. When everyone in the class receives the task of speaking on stage, they have no choice. Therefore, when they gritted their teeth and completed their first speech with trepidation, I gave them commendatory comments and encouraged the classmates to applaud and encourage them in good faith. This made them more confident and prepared for the next opportunity. After the first and second time, the students gave speeches before class and answered questions in class much more enthusiastically than before. It turns out that everyone has a desire for expression and wants to show off their talents in public. It was the "Three Minutes Pre-class Speech" activity that created a platform for them to express their eloquence and exercise their courage. A timid and shy classmate wrote in his diary: "From elementary school to now, I have never I didn't dare to stand on the stage and speak, and the teacher rarely asked me questions. However, this "three-minute speech before class" activity made me surprisingly discover that I can do it, and I can do it well, and I will do it in the future. Better! ”

2. It is conducive to the improvement of students’ language expression ability.

The "Three Minutes Pre-class Speech" activity is an organized activity for students in class. It is an attempt to express personal abilities, especially language expression ability. In this activity, the teacher is a supporting role, a guide, an audience, or a director, and the students are the protagonists, speakers, and actors. Although it only lasts three minutes, they have to tell a story, an idiom, or a famous saying. Expressing it completely and accurately requires sufficient preparatory activities before class: searching for information, organizing words, memorizing words, etc. Therefore, pre-class speech is a systematic and effective oral training.

3. It is helpful to improve students’ ability to observe and analyze problems.

As the saying goes: "Everywhere you pay attention, you will gain knowledge" and "Understanding is at your feet." In the process of preparing speeches, students, in order to collect meaningful topics and show their skills in front of the classmates, Collect, analyze, and summarize what they see and hear anytime and anywhere, which exercises their ability to observe problems and think and analyze problems. For example: After reading the information on "Nanjing Massacre", a classmate expressed his opinion that there are three reasons: 1. The Qing government's seclusion policy made China backward militarily and economically. 2. The aggressive ambition of Japanese militarism. 3. The non-resistance policy of the Chinese Kuomintang; another example: After a classmate discovered that someone had smashed the glass bottle after drinking on the corridor, he imitated the poem "The Woodcutter," written by the American poet George Perkins Morris. "Don't chop down that tree" and wrote a poem "Classmate, don't throw that glass bottle", which won applause from the students. Another example: when the teacher asked the students on the 10th to 20th to collect topics about their hometown customs, they were able to form a study group, divide work, cooperate, and introduce the food, customs, etc. to the classmates, so that we students had original knowledge of our hometown. A little knowledge has turned into a more systematic understanding, which has increased a lot of knowledge.

4. It is conducive to students’ Chinese accumulation and improvement of Chinese literacy.

For the students’ carefully prepared speeches, I took the lead in picking up a pen and writing them down in the blank spaces of the students’ grade books, and encouraged the students to take good notes and develop the habit of accumulation, which is especially important for the speaker. A kind of respect. For example: After a speech with famous sayings and aphorisms, I put the famous sayings of the students' speeches on a performance statistics sheet with their seat numbers and names, and printed it out to the students as a souvenir. When they saw the words behind their names, they recommended it. After the famous saying, they all tasted the joy of success, and they were all happy and confident about their performance in the class. The content of the speech was based on training on diverse themes. The students talked about society, ideals, interests, stories, jokes, and commented on current affairs, thus inspiring the students' minds, broadening their horizons, and expanding their knowledge. In this way, the students’ Chinese literacy has been improved.

5. It is helpful to adjust the classroom atmosphere and achieve teacher-student interaction.

A short three-minute speech not only does not waste class time, but also greatly enlivens the classroom atmosphere. Today, with the comprehensive implementation of quality education, it is required to reform the classroom structure model of basic education, change the traditional teaching method into a multi-class classroom, reduce the proportion of teacher lectures in the classroom, and increase the proportion of student activities in the classroom.

In the "Three Minutes Speech Before Class" activity, except for one speaker, all the teachers and students became the loyal audience of this little teacher. There was more applause in the class, and the students' desire for performance was satisfied. When other students saw this situation, they were eager to give it a try. , as the saying goes, "sharpening the knife will never waste time chopping firewood." During the three-minute class time, the atmosphere was lively. The students actively thought about the teacher's questions and spoke freely. The bilateral activities between teachers and students in the classroom were greatly strengthened. Some students said: "Suppose I am not in good spirits before class and want to sleep, or am in a bad mood and want to wander off. After three minutes of warm atmosphere induction, it is like a shot of stimulant, and my mood immediately rises, allowing me to recognize Complete each Chinese lesson seriously. ”

6. It is conducive to spiritual communication between teachers and students and improves the enthusiasm for learning Chinese.

When investigating students’ response to the “Three Minutes Speech Before Class” activity, a class leader said: “The speech before class is a bridge to the soul and a colorful three minutes.” This is a good name. In fact, it also communicates the minds of teachers and students. When the teacher comments on what the classmates have said and expresses his opinions, the students understand the teacher's mentality and views. By listening to the students' speeches, the teacher also learned about their attitudes toward life, friendship, and society, as well as their ideas for dealing with problems they encountered. Affirm their correct views and help them correct their wrong views. In this way, the hearts of teachers and students will be closer. As the saying goes, "Know the teacher and believe in the way." The spiritual closeness between teachers and students is also the basis of trust and the basis of work. Basically, in terms of Chinese teaching, I, as a Chinese teacher, have become more attractive, and students are more interested in learning Chinese. For example, once, I set a topic for the students from the 21st to the 25th: talk about the pros and cons of surfing the Internet. Four students said unequivocally that surfing the Internet is harmful but not beneficial. I muttered at the time, maybe it was just to get praise from teachers and classmates! Another student said: Internet is beneficial! Modern students have a lot of psychological pressure. When I feel depressed, I can click the mouse, enter the game, and find someone to "kill". People who do not use the Internet cannot experience that kind of happiness. I did not comment immediately after their speeches, and allowed the students to applaud indiscriminately. Then I said: "In modern society, the Internet has entered thousands of households and has become an indispensable part of people's cultural life. It has brought us a lot of convenience, but for middle school students, accessing the Internet is beneficial and harmful. For example, looking for learning materials online, Watching movies and entertainment is beneficial. If you become addicted to the Internet just for playing games, especially violent games, it is harmful. It is not wise for the first four students to deny the benefits of the Internet. I would like to advise you, don’t get addicted. You can play some puzzle games, but you must exercise restraint. If you fall into a virtual realm and enjoy the pleasure, and it is difficult to escape, try to simulate the "killing" psychology in the game in real life. , isn't it too dangerous? Therefore, the biggest taboo for middle school students is Internet addiction and lack of self-control. "After listening to this, the students have a clear understanding of Internet access, and I also take advantage of the situation and sometimes do it. Give them some homework and let them collect information and answers online. This will be of great help to Chinese teaching and improve their enthusiasm for learning Chinese.

Speeches can exercise your communication skills and your courage. Speeches will be heard by many people, so you generally need to have courage. If it is a real-time speech, it can also exercise your thinking reaction speed, which will greatly improve the weak point of many students - composition.

This is just my own opinion.
