Teaching and research group is an important position to carry out school work, carry out teaching research, manage discipline teaching and improve teachers' professional level. The teaching and research achievements of the teaching and research group are the crystallization of collective wisdom, which can extend personal vision and improve personal ability. Whether it is a lesson plan, a courseware, a new introduction method, a new teaching aid, or a breakthrough method with important and difficult points, it is the result of the joint efforts of all members of the preparation team. The unity and cooperation of teachers, especially the discussion of teaching methods, the arrangement of learning methods, the summary and feedback after teaching, has become very necessary and important. This kind of cooperation is not only an important link to improve teaching effect, but also an important means to improve teaching skills, and the teaching and research group is one of the important platforms to realize this kind of cooperation.
The current English textbooks cover many subjects. English teachers must have richer knowledge of national culture, history, geography, politics, economy and society, and be familiar with many aspects of English-speaking countries. In traditional teaching, the teacher is only the interpreter of the syllabus and teaching materials and the imparting of knowledge. The new curriculum reform requires teachers to be the leaders, organizers and collaborators of students' learning. Therefore, the teaching and research group responsible for the guidance and training of teachers' professional ability and the organization and coordination of teaching naturally becomes an important position in the new curriculum reform. In the new curriculum construction, I think the construction of junior high school English teaching and research group mainly has the following points:
1 Construction of Practice Teaching and Research Group
Teaching and research group, as a basic teaching and research unit, should organize teachers to learn professional knowledge and guide them to make fewer detours and mistakes. In traditional teaching, it is emphasized that teachers should be persuasive and students should think positively. The new curriculum standard emphasizes autonomous learning, inquiry learning and cooperative learning. The similarity between the two is that students are required to move themselves, think positively and think positively. The difference lies in the position and role of teachers. The former aims to teach people to fish, while the latter aims to cultivate fishing skills. Without a complete set of scientific classroom evaluation system as a guide and a strong scientific research organization to guide the implementation, the new curriculum concept is difficult to achieve. As a grass-roots teaching and research unit, the teaching and research group should naturally undertake the important task of exploring, practicing and reforming teachers' lesson preparation, teaching means, technology and learning methods.
Build a learning, cooperative and scientific research teaching and research group.
2. 1 learning teaching and research group refers to the teaching and research group that can support and help teachers learn and communicate. There should be common learning goals in the group, and teachers in the group should share resources. Teaching and research groups should regularly organize members to learn professional knowledge and related disciplines, master correct educational viewpoints, and understand the basic laws and methods of education. At the same time, teachers should be encouraged to sum up their teaching, write more papers and actively participate in various teaching and research activities. Our English teaching and research group always adheres to the regular teaching and research group activities and lesson preparation group activities, including a series of activities such as starting classes, speaking lessons, attending classes and evaluating lessons in the teaching and research group or the same lesson preparation group.
Encourage teachers to learn and discuss with each other, so as to get the enlightenment of English teaching methods and skills. At the same time, strengthen the learning exchange between schools and make appropriate screening according to the actual learning situation of their own students. More importantly, teachers with rich teaching experience, strong sense of responsibility and high professional ability are always selected to bring new teachers, giving full play to the role of backbone teachers in passing on, helping and bringing, and taking "teachers" as teachers. Provide new teachers with all-round practical guidance in teaching, thinking, business and methods, so that they can enter the role of teachers as soon as possible and be competent in English teaching and scientific research. In order to promote the professional development of teachers, it is very necessary to establish a learning teaching and research group in the periodical library. In the learning teaching and research group, all teachers study regularly. Teachers not only get information in the group, but also provide learning resources for others. Teachers are a common organizational relationship of mutual participation, mutual teaching and learning.
2.2 Cooperative teaching and research. All the teachers in the school are in the same educational environment, facing the same educated people, they need to complete the same educational tasks and work hard for the same educational goals. So although there are differences between teachers, these teachers will inevitably encounter similar problems. In this case, the common study and discussion among teachers has greater significance and value. The mutual cooperation and learning among colleagues is conducive to the continuous promotion of teachers' growth. Understanding each other among colleagues is conducive to fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses and improving together. In the teaching and research activities of the teaching and research group and the preparation and evaluation activities of the lesson preparation group, different original ideas and exploratory lesson examples are allowed. Therefore, the cooperation between teachers, especially the discussion of teaching methods, the planning of learning methods, teaching summary and feedback after teaching, becomes very necessary. This kind of cooperation is not only an important link to improve teaching effect, but also an important step to improve teaching skills. Teaching and research group is an important platform to realize this cooperation. Taking collective lesson preparation as an example, to carry out collective lesson preparation in discipline groups, we should strive to do the following: formulate the rules for collective lesson preparation in schools and achieve "five decisions": setting time, place, content, theme and preparation. Teachers should actively communicate and express their opinions to ensure the quality of collective lesson preparation. In order to ask teachers to collect all kinds of data and information extensively, they should be prepared. Every teacher should make full preparations for the prepared contents before preparing lessons collectively, study the teaching materials and teaching methods in depth, and then select, improve and summarize them through collective wisdom. Collective lesson preparation should also pay attention to the timely feedback of teaching effect. The rapid development of teaching reform and the changing situation of students require teachers to respond quickly and adjust teaching strategies in time.
2.3 Research-oriented teaching and research. All kinds of problems in teaching may become the objects of teachers' research, from "the change of teachers' teaching methods under the new curriculum standard", "the change of students' learning attitudes and methods" to "whether the method of criticizing students today is appropriate" and "what problems should be paid attention to in the explanation process" and so on. Therefore, to do a good job in the construction of teaching and research groups, schools are required to advocate the cultural atmosphere of research, guide teachers to conduct education and teaching with a research mentality, and analyze and solve practical problems in teaching with the eyes of researchers. We should focus on the following aspects from the teaching practice. Textbook of sediment research: analyze the textbook and master the knowledge system in order to arrange the teaching more reasonably. Research on teaching methods: Different students have different knowledge structures and levels, and their acceptance and application abilities are also different. Teaching varies from person to person, and there are differences in the planned implementation of teaching. Jar research method: the cultivation of students' interest in learning and the cultivation of students' non-intellectual factors. Cultivation of elm ability: cultivation of observation ability and language expression ability. Encourage teachers to constantly sum up experience and lessons in the process of implementing research projects and rise to rational understanding.
3. It is the key to do a good job in the organizational construction of teaching and research groups.
Teaching and research group is the focus of the school's business, and its leader is the soul of the teaching and research group. Therefore, only excellent teachers can shoulder this heavy responsibility. The leader of the English teaching and research group should have the following qualities: First, he has a high level of teaching, is the backbone of the subject, and ensures the authority of his business. Second, we must have high leadership ability, strong communication and organization and coordination ability, and realize strong leadership over the whole group. Third, we should have a noble professional ethics. The leader of the teaching and research group should not only complete his own work, but also help and guide other teachers to make progress, and should have the consciousness of bravely shouldering heavy burdens and noble dedication. Fourth, we should have high scientific research ability, profound educational theory and rich educational practice experience, be able to answer questions for novice teachers and realize academic guidance for the whole group.
In short, in today's highly developed information and education, our English teaching and research group must have an eclectic consciousness and a broad mind if it wants to have an advantage in the competition. Through the active cooperation and joint efforts of all the teachers in the English teaching and research group, the quality of the teachers in this group has been continuously improved and some achievements have been made in teaching and scientific research.
