Common environmental protection laws and regulations
Common sense of environmental protection
Environmental protection information
Extracurricular activities can be an extension of classroom teaching, such as recitation, speech contest, visit, field trip, life party, small sports meeting, etc. , you can introduce English teaching in time. Activity goal: (1) Students can stimulate their interest in learning English in practice through reading materials, and enhance their initiative in exploring environmental pollution and protection (the small materials or teaching materials provided by teachers, JEFCBOOKⅲUnit 3 Make World, are more beautiful, Unit 1 1. Planting trees).
Keywords English teaching environment pollution, students' subjectivity exploration is close to extracurricular activities
Teaching is the unity of science and artistry (Xie Yunjin, Wang Xuan, 2000). In the past, under the concept of "exam-oriented education", the help of extracurricular activities to English teaching was ignored. Although this situation has changed now, it has not attracted enough attention from most teachers. Therefore, in many years of English teaching practice, the author introduced extracurricular activities into junior high school English teaching and achieved good results. This paper talks about some superficial experiences on the teaching of English extracurricular activities in order to seek advice from peers.
First, the necessity of English extracurricular activities
1, English extracurricular activities are the urgent need of the new curriculum reform.
With the deepening of the curriculum reform of basic education, new requirements are put forward for English teachers who are at the forefront of the reform; Teachers must change their educational roles and adjust their teaching strategies; It also requires the ability of curriculum development and integration, cultivating students' ability of inquiry learning and strengthening the learning and training of new skills (Mars, 2002). Extracurricular activities can be an extension of classroom teaching, such as recitation, speech contest, visit, field trip, life party, small sports meeting, etc. , you can introduce English teaching in time. Language teaching is a problem-solving process (Leech, 1983). The new curriculum reform emphasizes that students should do things in common English and develop their language ability, thinking ability and communication and cooperation ability in the process of doing things. Language learning should create a good language environment and provide a lot of opportunities for language practice, so that students can form a sense of language through their own experience, perception, practice, participation and communication; Under the guidance of teachers, students use inquiry learning mode to achieve task objectives and feel successful. If English learning is through real and colorful extracurricular activities, then students can be exposed to information resources closer to learning reality, life and times; Students' sense of participation will be strengthened, and the way of communication will be changed from one-way and two-way communication in class to multi-directional communication.
2. The significance of carrying out English extracurricular activities
(1) is beneficial to arouse students' enthusiasm and cultivate their interest in learning English.
(2) It is helpful to reflect students' subjectivity and highlight the "people-oriented" educational thought.
(3) Promote the mutual penetration and contact between English and other disciplines, and overcome the disadvantages of the separation of subject and curriculum knowledge (Yuan Guilin, 1999).
(4) It is helpful to improve the comprehensive quality of teachers.
Second, the practice and thinking of English extracurricular activities teaching
1. Try to adopt task-based teaching mode.
At present, task-based teaching activities are highly valued by English educators. Task-based teaching means that teachers design various communicative tasks close to students' reality according to teaching objectives and learning contents. In the process of completing the task, students learn English knowledge, develop language skills and improve their comprehensive ability to use English. According to social cognitive theory, the ultimate goal of language learning is to use language in practice, and the process of communication is as important as language products (Zhang Jianwei and Chen Qi, 1996). Language learning is a positive dynamic process. English extracurricular activities based on task-based teaching activities are based on students' interests, students study with real goals and tasks, and students are explorers, researchers and discoverers of tasks; Give full play to students' subjectivity and initiative in the process of task activities; Students turn learning into inner positive psychological needs; Many problems that cannot be solved independently in daily study can be solved quickly through interaction and mutual assistance in group activities. In this class, students can not only acquire knowledge actively and efficiently, but also fully feel the joy of success and show learners' learning potential to the maximum extent. In order to truly implement the cultivation of language ability in every specific link in the process of English extracurricular activities, we should pay attention to the following principles in actual teaching:
(1) activities should have a clear purpose and be operable.
(2) The task content should be true and natural, focusing on students' life experience and interest in learning.
(3) Face up to students' individual differences and control the task difficulty.
(4) Pay attention to cultivating students' innovative spirit and ability, and the task design should be enlightening and creative.
(5) Attach importance to the guiding role of teachers.
2. Teaching practice cases
Task-based English extracurricular activities teaching is a new teaching attempt. Practice has proved that well-designed teaching process (task-based) has obvious effect on improving teaching effect.
[Teaching case]
Design background: After the second semester of Grade Two, with the enhancement of students' language communication ability, students can accept some social investigation tasks and learn more information through contact with society.
Activity objectives:
(1) Students can stimulate their interest in learning English in practice and enhance their initiative in exploring environmental pollution and protection through reading materials (small materials or teaching materials provided by teachers JEFC Volume III Unit 3 Make the world better Unit 1 1. Planting trees).
(2) Inspire students to actively think about ways to solve related problems and express them in different ways in English.
(3) create an atmosphere of cooperation and exchange, list the surrounding environmental problems, and cultivate students' awareness of environmental protection.
Forms of activities: group activities and individual surveys.
Activity flow: (1) Organize students to investigate the surrounding environment.
According to the wishes of students' clubs, interest groups or individuals, the activity members can be divided into 4-5 groups to investigate and record the surrounding environment. Each group will send 1-2 representatives to introduce the investigation of each group. You can find relevant English materials from the library or online. )
Our team includes: (name)

Monitor:
Personal survey record:
(2) Understand the hazards of the respondents to the environment, people, animals and plants;
Due to the differences of the respondents in each group, the forms of investigation reports are also varied. Students are particularly independent and willing to be accepted by them, so they put forward higher requirements for teachers' guidance.
For example, a student asked-where did the "white garbage" come from? Why do you always see them somewhere? What harm does it have to the environment, people, animals and plants? I see. What should we do?
Some students designed their own questionnaires.
Note the reasons for the problem of the place and time of the respondent.
Thinking about the discussion results: signature:
* Although the form is a little immature, it provides rich information for the following English scores, oral reports and discussions.
(3) Summarize the research results of each group and carry out various forms of exchanges and discussions.
This session focuses on "learning by doing" and doing things in English. First of all, the members of each group reported the investigation report orally one by one, and had a preliminary exchange within the group. After each group clears their minds, write a group report, and select a speaker to make a statement and exchange discussions with other group representatives.
For example, some students learned about this survey and made some task extensions. Some people wrote reasoning essays in the form of stories, some people put them on the blackboard, and some people suggested combining the problem of "protecting the environment" with team activities. They can often be heard in the English corner on campus. The author clearly feels that their awareness of environmental protection is constantly increasing, and the boring texts that were originally difficult to learn have also become their learning needs.
Activity summary
Through the investigation report handed in by students, the author feels gratified. In their activities, they saw many such sentences: English extracurricular activities will be of great help to our English study.
All these activities will make our spoken English more fluent.
It left a deep impression on me.
(1) Through this activity, students pay more attention to our living environment, and everyone's "environmental awareness" is enhanced. The development goal of emotional attitude permeates English teaching.
(2) Take students as the main body and activities as the main line. While understanding the theme task and conceiving the activity content, students actively use what they have learned in the past, which deepens their understanding and memory of the textbook content.
(3) Cultivate students' innovative spirit, competitive consciousness and cooperative consciousness.
(4) Broaden information channels, increase language practice, and effectively improve students' comprehensive ability to use English.
(5) Students have experienced their sense of happiness-success.
New curriculum, new standards and new attempts. This task-based extracurricular activity teaching naturally has its limitations and needs to be dialectically accepted and applied in combination with teaching practice. The author believes that the following aspects are worth considering and studying:
The effect of (1) activity is influenced by many factors, such as regional differences, teaching equipment, teachers and so on.
(2) When there are great individual differences among students, students' participation is unbalanced.
(3) Teaching evaluation of English extracurricular activities.
Three, to carry out English extracurricular activities should pay attention to several issues
1, update ideas
Thought is the guide to action. The vast number of educators should learn modern educational ideas, establish a scientific view of education and talents, overcome the one-sided pursuit of high school enrollment rate, and clarify the importance of quality education.
2. Improve the quality of teachers.
It is the goal of every teacher's efforts to "learn to be an excellent official and be respected". Quality education requires improving students' comprehensive quality. Teachers' quality is the key to the implementation of foreign language quality education. The quality of teachers will directly affect the development of students and the quality and efficiency of foreign language education and teaching in China, which is related to the success or failure of foreign language education and teaching in China (Sun Ming, 2003). Teachers are the promoters and promoters of students' learning, and the participants and instructors in the learning process. Carrying out English extracurricular activities puts forward new and higher requirements for English teachers. Teachers should not only expand their knowledge, understand the new information of this subject and other subjects, but also cultivate their interests and specialties in many ways.
3. Research on the evaluation of English extracurricular activities teaching.
The evaluation of English extracurricular activities is mainly a comprehensive evaluation of teachers' quality, teaching process and teaching effect, which belongs to the synthesis of formative evaluation and summative evaluation.
Four. Concluding remarks
To sum up, combining extracurricular activities with English teaching and choosing task-based teaching mode from beginning to end is an objective requirement for the development of quality education and an urgent need for the new English curriculum reform. Facing the opportunities and challenges of the new curriculum reform, as English teachers in the front line of basic education, we should advocate classroom research, explore boldly, innovate constantly, reflect in teaching, improve in reflection, and further move towards the high realm and high realm of art teaching.
