Reflections on English Teaching of Grade Seven in Junior Middle School (1)
As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle." Junior one is the enlightenment stage of middle school students, and junior one English is the basis of English teaching. It is very important for students to take the first step in English learning in the future. In these months of teaching practice, I have summarized the following experiences:
First, cultivate students' interest in learning English and enhance their self-confidence in learning English well.
1. Strengthen the motivation of learning English and guide students to get started.
Learning motivation is the internal motivation to promote students' learning. Motivated foreign language learning has a good learning effect, while unmotivated foreign language learning often becomes a burden and the learning effect is not good. Beginners have a strong curiosity about English, and teachers should grasp this feature and guide them correctly. Help students realize the necessity and importance of English learning, improve their understanding of the value of English learning, and truly realize the indispensable position of English as a tool and means of communication in their future study, work and life. A clear understanding of the importance of English learning will lead to a strong thirst for knowledge. With confidence and interest, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
2. Enhance the emotional communication between teachers and students, and establish a harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
If you kiss your teacher, you can believe it. Teachers should be good at expressing positive emotions, give students more opportunities to speak, give more enthusiasm and encouragement, and guide students to find and solve problems in learning. In daily life, we should communicate with students more emotionally. A teacher's tacit eyes, an encouraging word and a heartfelt praise will make students feel the teacher's concern, appreciation and respect. All these have promoted students' positive self-motivation, stimulated their curiosity and increased their courage and confidence in learning. Achieve the purpose of promoting knowledge with emotion and teaching with emotion.
3. Create a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere and improve the teaching effect.
Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Therefore, in teaching, we must take various methods to stimulate interest, create a relaxed and happy classroom atmosphere and promote students' independent participation according to their age characteristics.
(1) intuitive teaching method. By using teaching methods such as objects, pictures, stick figures and multimedia, boring English words can be visualized, which can attract students' attention, grasp students' interest points and attention, arouse students' positive thinking and make them master what they have learned happily.
(2) Situational teaching method. According to the content of the textbook, create scenes and use dialogue, performance and other forms to let students play roles. With the help of similar simulated scenes, the teaching materials are linked with real life, so that students can feel the usefulness of learning English, increase their curiosity and encourage them to actively participate in classroom activities.
(3) Pleasant teaching method. When students begin to learn English, their interest is very high, but it won't last long. Therefore, in the teaching process, we strive to entertain and attract students. For example, arrange some activities such as guessing, singing, playing games and competitions in class. It not only enlivens the classroom atmosphere, but also consolidates the knowledge learned.
4. Experience success and stimulate interest in learning.
A sense of accomplishment is a very valuable emotional experience in English learning, which can greatly stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in learning. Teachers should strive to create more opportunities for students to succeed and let them taste the joy of success more. If students answer the correct questions, good exam results and so on, they can all be regarded as success. Give affirmation and encouragement in time: great/wonderful/well done/... Even if students make mistakes, teachers should give help and encouragement in time: try again/think about it ... Pay attention to capturing students' little progress, give praise or reward in time, let them experience the joy of success personally, let students see the dawn of hope and constantly enhance their confidence in learning English.
Second, from the introduction of basic knowledge, grasp the introduction of English teaching
1. Phonetic teaching
Phonetic teaching is one of the most important and basic tasks of English teaching in senior one, and it is also the key to teaching in the primary stage. Through phonetic symbol teaching, students can master correct pronunciation and learn to spell words, which will lay a solid foundation for the continuous learning and development of English in the future and remove the biggest obstacle to English learning. The author adopts the teaching principle of concentration before dispersion, that is, after teaching 26 letters, concentrate on teaching phonetic symbols and then try to teach spelling words. Focus on clarifying the internal relationship among letters, phonemes and phonetic symbols, complete the teaching of 48 phonemes, phonetic symbols and their corresponding letters and letter combinations, and practice spelling with words in the vocabulary of teaching materials, so that students can have the ability to spell words through pronunciation, spelling and opening their mouths, and English learning will enter the active learning state from the beginning. Then there is decentralized teaching. According to the arrangement of teaching materials, further consolidate the phonetic symbols learned earlier. From the letters, words and daily expressions in the primary stage to the texts, sentences and dialogues in the primary stage, teachers should teach students in a decentralized way at any time with the changes of teaching materials, and adopt the methods of listening, imitating, explaining, practicing and correcting, so that students can feel the influence and edification of correct pronunciation anytime and anywhere.
2. Vocabulary teaching
Vocabulary is the basic material of language and one of the three elements of language. Therefore, memorizing words is an important part of English learning, and teachers should teach students methods that are easy to remember and consolidate according to their age. For example, spelling memory method, classified memory method and comparative memory method, in order to keep words locked, we should conduct word dictation test in time to make words "clear in class" and let students develop the habit of remembering words every day. Students have accumulated a certain vocabulary, which can lay a solid foundation for future listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Third, create a good language environment and cultivate students' English listening and speaking ability.
Among English skills, listening and speaking are the basis of reading and writing. Only by having certain listening and speaking ability can we promote the development of reading and writing ability. Therefore, from the first day of junior high school, English teachers should grasp the infiltration and integration of listening and speaking training in classroom teaching, strive to create a good language environment for students, strengthen students' awareness of English listening and speaking, let them constantly improve their English level in application, cultivate students' habit of thinking and expressing in English in a subtle way, and cultivate students' ability to communicate in English.
1. Organize teaching in English
Most students usually listen, speak, read and write in Chinese, lacking English language environment, and usually only in English classes can they be exposed to English. Therefore, teachers must try their best to teach in English in class, create a strong English classroom atmosphere, and let students think naturally in English according to the teacher's ideas. This can enhance students' thirst for knowledge, improve their listening comprehension and enhance their sense of language.
Step 2 talk freely
Through free conversation every day, every student has an equal opportunity to practice oral English. In this kind of training, students have the right to choose their own topics of interest and can prepare in advance. Students will speak English for three minutes before class. The content can be campus life, English study, personal anecdotes, class activities and short stories. This activity makes students dare to speak English, broaden their knowledge and enlarge their vocabulary. In the process of this activity, teachers should play the role of guidance and supervision, so that students' oral English can be exercised.
3. Role-playing
Role-play according to the text dialogue or short passage, encourage students to speak English boldly, and make authentic, vivid and interesting imitations. Turn the language materials of the text into fluent spoken language to achieve the purpose of communication and language use.
4. Read aloud and recite
Teachers use morning reading and classroom to strengthen students' reading and recitation. Encourage students to read aloud and actively recite model essays, idioms and wonderful paragraphs through various effective methods. Through reading aloud and reciting, students can accumulate certain language sense materials and idioms, gradually cultivate students' habit of using language, and improve their confidence and ability in learning English.
Fourth, give guidance on learning methods and cultivate self-learning ability.
Give people fish for one day, and give them fish for life. In English teaching, teachers should introduce English learning methods in a planned and systematic way to cultivate students' self-learning ability. Only when students learn to learn and become good at learning can they give full play to their enthusiasm and creativity and improve their learning efficiency.
1. Pre-class preparation: Before learning a new unit, it is suggested that freshmen in senior high school prepare according to the following steps: first spell the new words, then listen to the tape to imitate the reading until they are familiar with it and can read it.
2. Listening: In class, students should achieve "five movements", namely, hands, eyes, mouth, brain and ears. The key is mouth. Namely: seize the opportunity to answer questions actively, dare to recite aloud in front of the whole class, dare to participate in performance activities, and are not afraid of making mistakes. Let students master these methods step by step and learn independently, so as to improve the learning effect.
In short, in the initial stage of students' learning English, as English teachers, we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude, pay attention to cultivating students' interest in learning English, learn and teach knowledge points in a decentralized way, take students as the main body, and teachers appropriately inspire them to ignite students' enthusiasm for learning, give full play to students' free imagination and good wishes, and feel the joy of learning and the success of using and controlling the language in the process of pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence patterns and texts.
Reflections on English Teaching in Grade Two and Grade Seven.
First, freshmen are curious about English and have a high interest in learning. Teachers should actively guide students and explain the importance of learning English. In the teaching process, we should protect students' interest in learning, praise and encourage students more, and criticize and dig less. Ask students not to be afraid of making mistakes in their study, because everyone will make mistakes, including native English speakers.
Students in Grade Two and Grade Seven have a weak sense of English language and poor expressive ability. Teaching should put listening and speaking first and keep up with reading and writing. Ask students to read the main grammar sentences and dialogues in each unit and recite them if necessary. As the students in Grade One are not self-disciplined, teachers should guide and supervise them.
3. Vocabulary plays an important role in English learning. It is very important to teach students how to remember words. Teach students to read phonetic symbols and syllables, and explain the pronunciation rules of English letters and letter combinations in detail. More time should be spent teaching students how to memorize words with phonetic symbols until they master them.
Fourth, according to the syllabus, combined with the actual situation of students, formulate effective teaching strategies and fully prepare lessons. In class, we should seriously talk and practice, really return the time to the students, organize classroom teaching with inspiring language, and strive to develop into an "interactive teaching mode" so that students can learn knowledge in a relaxed and active atmosphere and achieve "learning while playing". This teaching mode is very popular among junior high school students.
Fifth, in vocabulary and grammar teaching, we should grasp the important and difficult points and take students as the main body. The explanation should be clear and thorough, easy to understand, and should not be greedy and quick, which makes it difficult for students to digest and understand and affects their learning confidence. Communicate with students in spare time, understand students' difficulties in time, give timely counseling and deepen their memories.
Reflections on English Teaching in Grade Three and Grade Seven
The seventh grade is the stage of laying the foundation, and it is very important to cultivate students' good listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities for junior high school English learning in the future. Therefore, I feel that the task on my shoulders is great and I dare not slack off in teaching. I study hard, work hard and seriously, study teaching methods deeply, and learn from my predecessors with an open mind. Be strict with yourself from all aspects, and actively consult the old teachers to make the teaching plan and implementation orderly, organized and step by step.
In order to meet the teaching requirements of the new era, combined with the actual situation of our school and the actual situation of seventh-grade students learning English, my main links in teaching are reflected in the following aspects:
We must pay special attention to the correctness and standardization of English writing when we start school. From the first time that freshmen write English letters on the English four-line grid, students must be required to write correctly, or they will be punished. In addition to scaring people, in the initial stage, we might as well deliberately arrest a few students who dare to "commit crimes against the wind" to punish them, as an example; At the same time, encourage any student who writes correctly. Later, I was surprised to find that those students who write crooked Chinese characters can write English correctly, just like an excellent student, and they feel very fulfilled.
When grading English writing in the later stage, we will implement the principle that those with correct handwriting get high marks, otherwise the points will be severely deducted. After a period of vigorous rectification, students have formed a good atmosphere for correct writing. This article was edited by studying abroad together.
As a language, it is very necessary for students to develop the habit of reading aloud and daring to speak in the basic learning stage. In daily teaching, I am most afraid of students who don't talk. I think as long as they start reading and speaking English, they won't have any obstacles in learning English all their lives. So a few weeks before the start of school, I especially reminded my students that they must speak out loud and read English aloud. For individual introverted students who are ashamed to speak, we should focus on speaking first, then speaking aloud, and finally reading aloud.
A day's work lies in the morning, especially in English learning. Self-study in the morning, I try to let students read, read different contents in different forms, fully tap the potential of students' reading, and let students speak English.
Many times, we have to admit that students' English test scores are completely proportional to their vocabulary. As we all know, the new target English textbook has a large number of words. In order to free students from the heavy burden of memorizing word spelling, I think we should tell the whole class the correct method of memorizing word spelling at the first time to help them abandon the rote learning method that may have been formed in primary school. In the teaching process, I insist that students remember the spelling of words according to their pronunciation. Therefore, in word teaching, I generally follow the three-step sequence. 1. Follow. Let the students learn to read the words first, so that they can blurt out the pronunciation when they see the words. 2. Remember the Chinese meaning. Teachers can explain in Chinese and students can read English words. In the classroom sentence pattern practice, further consolidate the joint mastery and application of word pronunciation and Chinese meaning. 3. Finally, ask students to start memorizing the spelling of words. In fact, at this time, students may have unconsciously mastered the spelling of a large number of new words in this unit because of their high rate of understanding many words at a glance.
