At present, paying attention to the development of emotional attitude is one of the important characteristics of the trend of basic education reform. The new curriculum takes cultivating students' learning interest, attitude and self-confidence as the goal of English teaching, and takes students' learning cognitive strategies and good study habits as an important part of teaching, which fully embodies the new curriculum concept of "people-oriented". In teaching activities, only by realizing the significance of emotional teaching in learning activities and realizing the synchronous development of intelligence and emotion can we truly reflect the spiritual essence of quality education today.
In my years of teaching practice, I have tried some methods to integrate emotional education into English teaching. The following points are for peer reference.
First of all, stimulate interest in learning English.
In the process of teaching, there are many ways to stimulate interest in English learning. Diversified teaching methods, novel and lively forms and humorous and meaningful contents can stimulate students' interest in learning. Such as television, audio-visual education and multimedia teaching; English corner, English speech contest, oral contest and learning to sing English songs are all conducive to stimulating students' interest in learning. Speaking of price, how much is it? One yuan/two pounds/three dollars, etc. In order not to make the class boring, I managed to borrow the currencies of several countries, such as US dollars and British pounds. In this way, students can pass on their observations, get to know them, and then use these currencies to have a dialogue related to the content of the textbook, so that students will be interested if they are there.
Interest is the best teacher. Teachers carefully design and organize classroom activities, use various forms of discussion to stimulate students' interest and give full play to students' subjective initiative, which can improve learning efficiency.
Second, emotional communication stimulates enthusiasm.
Emotional communication needs a good relationship between teachers and students. Teachers play a leading role in establishing a good relationship between teachers and students. They should constantly improve themselves and show their personality charm. We should be full of love for students. Caring for students is the basis and premise of educating students. We should always have educational exchanges with students, care about their present and future, and touch students with our sincerity. At a class meeting with the theme of "Imagine the future", I put some photos on the podium and told the students that there are some photos of famous scientists, space astronauts and diplomats. Please come up in groups and have a look. If you can recognize them, you can talk about your feelings. Students came to watch, first curious, then suspicious, then excited and ashamed. In fact, the photos taken by the students when they just visited Nanjing Science Palace were put on the podium, but the words of future scientists, space astronauts and diplomats were written in English at the bottom of the photos. Students' testimony: Future scientists, space astronauts and diplomats must be our peers, and we will cherish the present learning opportunities and become useful talents to society in the future; Students say that mastering a foreign language is a means of transportation to the future world, and I will definitely work hard. After this visit and the activity of "looking at photos", the distance between teachers and students has further narrowed. Students feel that the teacher is kind and willing to talk to me about ideas, study and life. With this emotional foundation, classroom teaching is more free and smooth.
Emotion can promote or resist learning, and positive emotions can stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and improve the long-term effectiveness of learning. In classroom teaching, there should be not only the transmission of knowledge and information between teachers and students, but also the emotional communication between teachers and students.
The classified query of periodical papers is based on the research of modern psychology on periodical libraries. It shows that optimism contributes to the emergence of thinking springs, while depression inhibits people's thinking. Talking about the topic of shopping, I bought a lot of food and school supplies and showed them to my classmates in class to let them know the English expressions of these items. Then I made a game and gave each student a label with the words food or drink written on it, so that they could stick it on the corresponding object. Then use these objects to simulate shopping scenes for teaching. In the teaching process, most of these items are awarded to students, who are in high spirits and extremely active in class.
Third, understand the emotional experience of teaching materials
Many language materials in English textbooks reflect various emotional experiences in human social practice activities, and also express the author's feelings. On the basis of understanding the teaching materials, teachers can process and organize the teaching content from emotional dimension, so as to give full play to the positive role of their emotions in the process of presenting the teaching content, and let students be influenced by their thoughts and feelings while learning and mastering English. For example, the Statue of Liberty expresses the traditional friendship and yearning for peace of people all over the world by introducing the Statue of Liberty on Manhattan Island in new york. Through study, students can further enhance their consciousness of loving the motherland, the world and peace, and arouse emotional resonance. Another example is "The Lucky Escape" and "The Ghost in the Play". Students can be arranged to perform roles alone, which will help them better gain the emotional experience of the characters in the text and deepen their understanding of the characters in the text; It is conducive to creating a relaxed and happy classroom environment, stimulating students' enthusiasm and innovative consciousness, and achieving the purpose of enhancing learning effect and improving language use ability.
Fourth, appreciate the incentives to experience success
Suhomlinski said: "Let every student walk with his head held high in school." In class, teachers give students positive comments, appreciate and encourage students, and let them experience success, which is an effective means to stimulate students' emotions. In teaching, teachers should give full play to the positive role of teaching evaluation in emotion, and give students emotional influence while giving cognitive feedback. Teachers' gentle eyes and encouraging words will surge a warm current in students' psychology. Such as "good", "excellent", "good boy/girl", "how smart" and "well done". You can also say to the poor students, "Don't be nervous." "think about it." , "why don't you try again? In the classroom, we should also consider the individual differences of students. Students at different levels can arrange to answer questions with corresponding difficulties, so that students can jump up and reach them, and give targeted evaluations of their performance, such as: your observation is very careful; Your performance is very vivid; Your description is very vivid; You have a wide range of knowledge and so on, so that students can get an emotional experience that teachers really value, thus improving their self-esteem and self-confidence.
Emotional education is a level of school quality education, which plays a very important role in promoting the positive and harmonious development of students' personality, developing each student's physical and mental potential, optimizing the teaching process, cultivating students' innovative quality and improving teachers' educational literacy. As foreign language teachers, we should renew our educational concept, fully understand the great role of emotional factors in students' learning and healthy growth, infiltrate emotional education into classroom teaching, promote teaching with emotion, cultivate students' strong interest in learning English, establish students' self-confidence in learning English, develop good habits in learning English, and make continuous progress in knowledge, so as to make English teaching leap to a new level.
