We say that interest is the best teacher, which has a positive effect on people's activities, especially on primary school students' learning. If primary school students are interested in English learning, they will study and explore voluntarily.
Primary school students will feel fresh and interesting when they first come into contact with English, but they are lively and active, and their intentional attention lasts for a short time. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should pay attention to the characteristics of children's psychological and physical development, and teach according to children's characteristics of being active, good at imitating, loving talking, singing and acting. Adopt lively and interesting teaching methods to let students learn English in activities, and achieve the effect of cultivating students' stable inner interest.
(1) The stick figure is vivid, intuitive and vivid, which can quickly present the teaching content, fully mobilize students' senses and expand their imagination. It plays a very extensive role in the classroom, and it can penetrate into every link of classroom teaching. We can combine students' drawings with teachers' drawings and use them flexibly in teaching. For example, in the teaching of the third lesson of the first volume of English in the third grade of Fujian Education Edition, teachers such as cats, dogs and fish are taught to simply draw pictures of kittens, puppies and small fish. Vivid and intuitive, it can attract students well. Practice has proved that stick figure teaching can not only enhance teaching interest, but also make the classroom lively and orderly, which is a basic skill that primary school English teachers must master in order to attract students vividly and intuitively.
(2) Songs, the charm of songs and children's unique understanding ability, teachers have every reason to combine the charm of music and English. It goes without saying that you can learn English easily by singing and dancing in elegant songs. At the same time, songs can also enhance memory, reduce learning difficulty and reduce students' learning burden. In a sense, songs are lubricants and stimulants for English teaching in primary schools. Students act according to the content of the song, so that students can move, act and be happy. In the mode of operation, chorus, group singing, duet, singing in person and so on can be adopted. According to the order of performance, sing before class to create a classroom atmosphere; Sing in class, relax and keep your attention; Sing at the end of the class, so that students can cultivate their interest and have a good feeling about the class. As far as the textbooks of Fujian Education Edition are concerned, many units of songs are good materials for dialogue. We can sing new words boldly with tunes.
(3) games. Game teaching conforms to the principles of happy learning, subjectivity, practicality and quality education. Making full use of games in classroom teaching can not only eliminate students' fatigue and enliven the classroom atmosphere, but also stimulate students' direct interest and motivation in learning languages. Primary school students' attention is not long enough, so they should be allowed to play in middle schools and schools, and change from passive acceptance of knowledge to active learning and application of knowledge. Especially in vocabulary teaching, reading these words mechanically not only makes students lose interest in learning English, but also is not conducive to memory. At this time, if you add games such as "driving the train", "look and speak quickly", "listen and point quickly", "guess which card is missing" or "English-Chinese irony". When making cards, write English on the front and Chinese meaning on the back. If the teacher shows the students English, let them speak. However, game teaching should be purposeful, enlightening, flexible and diverse. Large classes should also choose games with fast turnover and large participation of students.
(4) Performance, mainly including demonstration performance, cooperative performance and creative performance. In particular, dialogue teaching, which allows students to practice in performance and use it in action, can reduce the boredom of repeated reading and adjust students' attention. Teachers can also create different life situations according to the content of teaching materials. Teach words. For example, when teaching sunny days, warm days, cold days and snowy days, teachers can show people's different actions in different weather conditions with actions while teaching words, and use a variety of senses to enhance memory; For another example, when teaching to run, you can do the action of running; When teaching keys, you can use them to open the door; When teaching kangaroos, you can learn the jumping movements of kangaroos. These methods can greatly improve students' interest in learning English. At the same time, it also greatly infected the students around me and made them realize the beauty of English.
Second, overcome shyness and let students speak English boldly.
Most primary school students in rural areas have poor English foundation, and many students lack the confidence and courage to speak English. They are afraid of being criticized for making mistakes and being laughed at by others. Therefore, we can't just pay attention to the explanation of language, take the old road of traditional English teaching, spend time on a large number of oral activities arranged in textbooks, and develop the habit of evaluating each student's oral performance in class at ordinary times. Only in this way can our "dumb" English phenomenon be completely eradicated. There are two main methods:
1, listen to the daily conversation
; "Listening" is the basis of "speaking". So, what is the most effective material to listen to? Fairy tales and watching children's English TV are good listening materials. However, there is a kind of listening material that is often ignored and no one listens. One of the reasons why no one listens is that there is no such listening textbook tailored for primary school students-daily life dialogue. After listening to this kind of dialogue, children can move into daily life intact and blurt it out. Students listen to everyday conversations. If they "listen" more, they can "speak" directly. .
2. Encourage children to apply what they have learned.
After listening to these commonly used sentences, children should be encouraged to use them in time. While learning English, we often use it as a communication tool, which is real English. This habit should be cultivated at the beginning of learning English. Once a healthy habit is formed, it will be of great help to improve English, otherwise it will be difficult to change the habit of not opening your mouth in the future.
Third, improve the surrounding environment, so that students are in the atmosphere of learning English.
Primary school students lack real language environment in learning English. This requires our teachers to organize teaching in English, and the classroom is the main place for students to contact English. Teachers try to use English in class to create listening and speaking conditions for students. Teachers teach in English, which not only makes students pay more attention to oral English, but also makes them more exposed to English and think in English. At the same time, they often encourage students to speak English boldly, and try to use visual teaching AIDS or oral descriptions to present situations, so that students can immerse themselves in the English atmosphere. In this process, teachers' English level will also be exercised and improved. For example, we can arrange for students to go to school from morning till night every day. It takes about 10 minutes for self-study in the morning to play short and easy-to-understand recordings in class; Play some lively and interesting English stories during recess activities and lunch break. And insist that students organize a few minutes of oral training in any form and content before each English class; Students' oral English can also be evaluated and scored and recorded as part of the unit test score. You can also set up an English corner in the school and hold activities once a week to set topics, such as crossword puzzles, word solitaire, English tongue twisters, Chinese and English proverbs quiz, English question and answer, etc. Let students be willing to accept and use it.
