(A) the significance of the study
Language is one of people's important abilities and plays an irreplaceable role in social life. Language is the most effective and direct tool for human beings to exchange ideas and information. "Language is the foundation of all intellectual development and the treasure house of all knowledge. At the same time, the understanding of everything must start from it, go through it and return to it. " The research of developmental psychology shows that childhood is the best time for language development, so we must seize this "golden time" to promote the development of children's oral and written language correspondence ability, visual perception and discrimination of children's written language, and promote the development of children's thinking.
However, language teaching activities are the main channel for children to gain language experience. The outline clearly points out that "the main way to develop children's language is through education in various fields", so it requires "expanding children's experience in colorful activities and providing conditions to promote language development". Then, it is particularly important to improve the effectiveness of Chinese activity teaching.
(B) Research background
Seriously analyze and reflect. The effectiveness of classroom teaching includes negative effect, ineffectiveness, inefficiency and effectiveness. Analyzing the current situation of classroom teaching in recent years, it is obvious that some language teaching activities belong to the category of inefficient teaching.
1. From the analysis of the mode of language teaching activities, teachers lack the research and mastery of the mode of language teaching activities, and there is a strange phenomenon that all language teaching activities are a mode. For example, confuse talking activities with telling activities.
2. From the analysis of "strategic preparation ability to become a fluent reader", children do not have the strategy and ability to question difficult questions. When designing teaching activities, teachers did not design children's questioning sessions, children's learning methods, and lack the cultivation of children's problem-solving ability.
3. From the analysis of "visual perception and discrimination ability of written language", most teachers separate language activity teaching from children's cognition of Chinese characters. Professor Zhou Jing, an expert in early childhood education, pointed out: "It is necessary to cultivate children's interest in simple marks and written symbols that are common in life. Use books, paintings, etc. to arouse children's interest in books, reading and writing, and cultivate children's previous literacy skills. " "In the process of reading with children, adults can help children understand the corresponding relationship between words and oral language in the book ..."
4. From "Enriching children's spoken English and enhancing children's sensitivity to language and grammar". In language teaching activities, teachers do not presuppose what words children need to use in this activity to tell the object concretely and vividly. As a result, children in language activities show insufficient vocabulary accumulation, dry speech and pale language, and can't express what they see, hear, think and feel with more appropriate words.
5. Analysis of the activity objectives set by teachers: First, the objectives are not comprehensive enough, too big, too general and lack of pertinence. For example, a teacher set a goal like this: "I can feel the pleasure of communicating with others and express my views actively and boldly;" According to their own interests and needs, for the purpose of happiness and satisfaction, freely choose and actively participate in activities; Cultivate children's spirit of learning to cooperate with others in' regional' activities. "This goal is simply' cool oil', which activities and subjects are applicable. Second, the activity goal is not specific. Example: A teacher set the goal of "My Favorite Toys" as follows: "With the encouragement of the teacher, I can actively participate in the activities, boldly express my wishes and tell my favorite toys; Cultivate children's imagination and train children's oral expression ability; Cultivate children's good habits of caring for toys and sorting them out. "Third, the development goals of children's abilities are not specific. For example, a teacher has set the goal of "cultivating children's oral expression ability". This goal does not depend on what kind of ability or spoken language, which word or sentence pattern to cultivate children.
6. Analyze the teaching and research atmosphere in the park. Although teaching and research activities are often carried out, the significance of research is not well understood; The number of people studied is small and the circle is too small; The research content often floats on the surface and lacks the depth of research; The research organization is not perfect and the responsibility is not implemented.
Second, the theoretical basis of the research
(A) Confucius' theory of "knowledge-happiness-goodness". Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy."
(2) Xunzi's theory of "smell-see-do". Xunzi said, "If you don't smell it, you will have it; if you don't see it, you will have it; if you don't know it, you will have it; if you know it, you will not." Learn to stop. "
(3) The theory of "learning-asking-thinking-distinguishing-doing" in The Doctrine of the Mean. There is a saying in The Doctrine of the Mean: "Be knowledgeable, interrogate, think carefully, distinguish clearly and stick to it."
(4) Dewey's famous saying: "I have heard it, but I forgot it; I have seen it, and I remember it; I have done it, I have studied it. "
(5) M. Hillberman-the quantitative theory of effective teaching.
(6) The Theory and Strategy of Effective Teaching by Professor Cui Yunkuo.
