First, noble personality charm.
Professor Zhang Daozhen, 76, enjoys a high reputation in English education at home and abroad. He devoted all his life experiences to education and research education. He led us through every step of English education reform! Professor Zhang Daozhen studied in the United States from 65438 to 0947 after graduating from the Foreign Languages Department of Nanjing University. 1950 responded to Premier Zhou's call to return to China to participate in construction and taught at Beijing Foreign Studies University until 1996. After retirement, I am still committed to the reform of English teaching. His tireless research spirit in English teaching has always infected me. It has also infected everyone in the field of English education.
Second, scientific and practical English teaching methods.
The worship of Professor Zhang Daozhen stems not only from his noble personality charm, but also from his devoted teaching methods, which are in line with the times and suitable for China people to learn and apply.
What is the biggest problem in English learning in China? "I heard!" When Professor Zhang Daozhen was invited to visit Sina Foreign Language Channel, he answered this question firmly and forcefully! He used "dumb English" to describe China's state of learning English. He said: "Learning English is for communication. If you can't communicate after studying for many years, you won't be very successful. "
In this regard, he proposed a series of methods to change this state. And these effective methods have also been learned and applied to teaching.
1. When learning English, I should take the lead in listening and speaking, and follow up in reading and writing.
"We are not saying that listening and speaking is more important than reading and writing, but that it is not difficult to break through listening and speaking first and then develop reading and writing on the basis of listening and speaking."
According to Professor Zhang, the teaching methods of our English education have been reformed! Let our children learn to listen and speak a language first, that is, learn to use a language first, and then read and write on the basis of using it. Naturally, it is not difficult to change! It's like our seven-or eight-year-old children learning Chinese: hearing and learning the surrounding languages from an early age, and then learning Chinese reading and writing on this basis. Of course it's simple! So in my English teaching, I first took a fancy to children's listening and speaking education.
