Therefore, in the teaching process, we should open the barriers between disciplines, link English learning with the knowledge of other disciplines, and strive to create an open and interesting new English classroom in primary schools, thus playing a positive role in promoting students' all-round development. Now, in my teaching practice, I will briefly summarize the teaching methods of integrating English with other disciplines as follows.
1. Integrating ideological education to improve humanistic quality
Teaching and educating people, focusing on educating people, and attaching importance to and strengthening the ideological and moral education of teenagers have become the focus of today's educational reform. Primary English is an important part of primary education, and its moral education factors run through all aspects of classroom teaching. Language is a tool of thinking, and expressing thoughts in English always has certain ideological content and emotional factors. For this reason, Oxford English textbooks for primary schools provide us with more than 30 language functions, such as thinking activities, emotional attitudes, moral attitudes, social culture and so on, and the content is very rich. The study of these language materials provides rich materials for the implementation of classroom moral education. In teaching, teachers should dig up teaching materials, find a good starting point for moral education, and educate students in a timely and natural way, so as to keep things quiet. For example, I learned Hello in 3A textbooks! Good morning. Nice to meet you. Thank you. sorry And other polite expressions, I have educated students on etiquette and encouraged them to use these manners in their daily communication. After learning Unit 7 "It's getting late" in 4A, I designed an investigation activity, organized students to talk about their daily arrangements, told students that time is gone forever, should cherish time and study hard, and introduced some famous proverbs: Time waits for no one. //Time flies! Time flies/Time is money. (Time is money)//Lost time cannot be redeemed.
2. Integrating mathematical knowledge to develop thinking ability
Mathematics focuses on cultivating students' thinking ability. If English and mathematics can be linked horizontally, students' thinking ability, reasoning ability, language communication ability and innovation ability can all be developed. Oxford primary school English textbooks contain a lot of mathematical knowledge. For example, after learning digital words and addition and subtraction in Unit 5 of 3B, I designed to let students talk about adjacent numbers, odd numbers and even numbers, read license plate numbers, and say their own telephone numbers, and apply the numbers to their lives, thus enhancing students' sense of numbers. Give the students another arithmetic problem: 6+ 10 =? What's six plus ten? ); 12-8=? ; What is twelve minus eight? Then the students give the arithmetic problems to other students orally. Students do mathematical operations in English, which not only consolidates and practices English numbers, but also develops their thinking ability and innovative ability.
3. Integrate into natural science and broaden students' horizons.
The knowledge of nature has infinite charm. Pupils are curious and willing to explore. Little knowledge of nature will attract students' attention, arouse their great curiosity and add charm to English learning. In English class, we should make use of this to add color to classroom teaching. For example, when I was studying the color words of 3Unit2, I did an experiment, that is, three cups of pigment water mixed with red, yellow and blue. With the appearance of words, after reasonable mixing, orange, green, cyan, purple, black and other colors are transferred, which fascinates students, increases their curiosity sharply, and their enthusiasm for learning words is also high. Finally, I revealed the mystery to them and introduced the formation of rainbow related to color to students. In the experiment, students kill two birds with one stone, not only learn words, but also increase their knowledge and have a strong interest.
In the season of Lesson 5 in Unit 6B, students have difficulty in understanding the following sentence: In winter, the days get shorter and the nights get longer. In summer, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. So, I took this opportunity to make up a geography lesson for the students. What are the equator, the South Pole and the North Pole? I also introduced the seasonal differences in different countries, such as spring in China and autumn in Australia. This is the opi website. The students are very excited and the classroom atmosphere is more active. Through the window of natural science, students not only increase their knowledge, but also enlighten their minds and broaden their horizons.
4. Blending music to stimulate interest in learning
Aristotle said: Music can cultivate temperament and increase interest. Indeed, the beauty of music melody can make people forget fatigue and feel happy. Music is widely used in English. First of all, music and English are interlinked. For example, English has beautiful phonology, intonation and rhythm. Why do native English speakers speak English so beautifully and harmoniously? I think pronunciation, intonation and rhythm are the key. For example, in a sentence with many bananas, oranges and apples, if the rhythm of each word is the same, it is very stiff. Although this is a simple declarative sentence, it contains many factors, such as the continuous reading of there are, lot of, the weak reading of are, a, of and, the stress of other words, the rising tone of bananas and oranges, the falling tone of apples and the overall rhythm of the sentence. It reads like a piece of music, and it sounds smooth and rhythmic, so I often play some for students. When teaching new sentences, I often imitate the music teacher and beat the time while reading. Students are unconsciously influenced by language and have a good understanding.
5. Integrating sports activities to improve students' intelligence.
Pupils are fun, active and happy, and sports can just satisfy their interests. The integration of English and physical education can make them learn, speak and use in action. For example, when teaching some body parts words of 5B Unit 6 in physical education class B, students can learn English while doing actions by using practice songs, such as head, eyes, nose and mouth, nose and mouth (replacing knees, toes, feet, etc. in turn), and students can point, nod, clap their hands, stamp their feet, jump, bend over, bend their knees, touch their toes, etc. Students are just PE teachers. So, the classroom became physical education class. In this activity, students unconsciously practice what they have learned many times and really use their English knowledge.
