1. Treat underachievers correctly, care and love
Care, respect and trust are the prerequisites for doing a good job in transforming underachievers. They are easily discriminated against by people around them, but they all have strong self-esteem. Most of them are smart and ingenious, but they often do not use them for proper learning; they can sometimes distinguish right from wrong, but they often do the opposite, knowingly and intentionally doing so. We should adhere to the principle of using positive factors to overcome negative factors, treat underachievers in two parts, be good at discovering their strengths, take advantage of the situation, and turn negative factors into positive factors. Sometimes students' shortcomings are actually their strengths and strengths from another perspective. We should guide and carry forward their strengths to overcome their shortcomings, so that the positive factors in them become the dominant force.
2. Combine strict requirements with respect and trust to restore self-confidence
Inferiority is a common ambivalent psychological state among underachievers. If this problem is not solved well, they may become depressed or show resistance, which will more seriously affect the learning of other students. Makarenko, an educator from the former Soviet Union, believes: "The demands we place on individuals express our respect for the individual's strength and ability; and in our respect, we also express our demands on the individual." He also believes: "We should demand as much from a person as much as possible and respect a person as much as possible." This requires us to be good at delegating them to do certain tasks, combine strict requirements with respect, trust them to do a good job, and Provide guidance and encouragement to help them regain their self-confidence and change for the better. But the following points should be noted:
1. Love, respect and trust students, respect their personality and rights, believe in their abilities and strength, and give them more care.
2. Be good at setting reasonable and strict requirements for students to promote their healthy development. Such strict requirements must be correct, appropriate, specific, orderly, consistent, and acceptable to students. Once a request is made, it must be strictly implemented and persisted to the end.
3. Teachers must be strict with themselves and be role models for others. Teachers should first do what students are asked to do and set an example for students.
3. Cultivate interest in learning and improve academic performance
Underachievers are often "double difference students" with poor discipline and poor learning, and poor discipline is often caused by poor learning. This requires us to start with their learning, cultivate their interest in learning English, improve their English learning performance, and attract their energy to learning.
1. Introduce competition into the classroom in daily classroom teaching and implement graded teaching.
Each English class teacher can select the group with the best performance in class through a competition, reward the good ones, and motivate the poor ones. Let underachievers integrate into group learning to reduce their inferiority complex. Let them clearly understand that the honor of the group can only be obtained through the joint efforts of the group members, and the gains and losses of the entire group cannot be affected by me alone. Encourage them to learn more consciously and improve their academic performance.
2. Pair up and help each other after class.
Teachers should talk to them more after class, understand the problems they encounter in English learning in a timely manner, and find a "good partner" for each of them (or let them find themselves) ( outstanding students) and let them form a mutual aid group. It is necessary to clarify for them what their learning goals are for the past one or two days, and they must insist on careful inspection. Once they achieve their goal, the teacher should encourage them to keep up their efforts and set higher goals for them; if they do not achieve their goal, the teacher should encourage them and attribute the failure to hard work to prevent them from feeling frustrated.
This enables them to satisfy themselves with bit by bit success day after day, year after year, find the joy of learning, and improve their academic performance.
Four. Place the education of underachievers in the collective education of the class, and focus on it repeatedly.
Place the education of underachievers in the class collective and accept collective supervision and education. , is a very important part of transforming underachievers. The collective is a powerful means of education. Individual education for underachievers must be combined with collective education to give full play to the educational role of the collective.
