1. Do a good job in linking English teaching tasks and teaching contents in primary and secondary schools. The task of English teaching in primary schools is to cultivate students' listening and speaking ability. Teachers generally start with enlightenment knowledge, and let students learn some common words, simple sentences and a little grammar knowledge through listening and intuitive feeling accumulation. In junior high school, students have entered the stage of language expansion and application from the stage of language accumulation, and the content has gradually become more complicated and difficult. Teaching requirements are gradually changing from listening and speaking to listening and speaking, and students should adapt to the new environment, new subjects, new teaching methods and new teaching requirements. This requires solving the problem of the convergence of English teaching in primary and secondary schools from the teaching tasks and teaching contents.
(1) Review well. Junior high school English teachers should understand and be familiar with the teaching content of primary schools. Before taking a new class, they must carefully study the textbooks used in primary schools and organize systematic review in the first week of school, including vocabulary, sentences, grammar and daily communication terms. Only in this way can we be familiar with the teaching content of primary schools and the mastery of students. "Go! The textbook introductory unit 1-3 is a good connection for English teaching in primary and secondary schools.
(2) Let students adapt to English teaching methods in middle schools as soon as possible. There are also great differences between primary school English teaching and middle school English teaching in teaching methods, textbook selection and teaching requirements. After entering junior high school, students will encounter all kinds of difficulties in English learning because they can't adapt to this change. How to help junior high school students master the learning characteristics and methods of middle school English as soon as possible, so that they can lay a solid foundation of English in junior high school and cultivate their basic ability to learn English is an important topic that junior high school English teachers should seriously study. In order to ensure the smooth transition from primary school teaching to junior high school teaching, junior high school English teaching must make a good connection between primary and secondary school English teaching methods, teaching contents and teaching tasks.
2. Do a good job in the connection of teaching methods in primary and secondary schools. According to the psychological and age characteristics of primary school students, primary school English teachers pay special attention to the creation of teaching process, adopt various teaching methods, actively create situations, and organically combine listening, speaking, reading, writing and activities, which not only enlivens the classroom atmosphere, but also attaches importance to the cultivation of communicative competence. However, in junior high school teaching, teachers pay more attention to grammar teaching, vocabulary teaching, sentence patterns, Chinese-English translation and other aspects of practice, and the teaching methods are monotonous, which makes students feel boring, which makes the first-year students who have just graduated from primary school unable to concentrate for a long time, unable to adapt to the teacher's teaching, and gradually lose their original interest and motivation in learning English.
(1) Guidance on preview methods. Before each new lesson, give students specific preview homework. Teach students to use reference books and vocabulary to learn dialogues or texts in a targeted way, get a preliminary understanding of the basic contents to be learned, and record difficult phrases and sentence patterns in preview, so that students have a strong desire for knowledge. In addition, the content of the new lesson is previewed, so students can study easily. The greater advantage is to let students develop the good habit of diligently searching for information and thinking about problems, and cultivate self-study ability.
(2) Guidance of listening methods. In English class, teachers should let students fully mobilize all their senses, form the habit of listening and speaking with eyes, ears, mouth, hands and brain, fully understand and skillfully use the English language materials they have learned, and effectively master the content they have learned in each class. For example, Presentation requires students to observe the teacher's gestures, listen to the teacher's expressions, and understand and remember the teacher's expressions in their brains; In the process of practice, students are required to read, memorize and write difficult words with their mouths open; When consolidating, ask students to recite what they have learned in this lesson. When reciting, they should present a picture in their mind, and after reciting, they can draw what they have learned with stick figures. Conversely, you can look at pictures and repeat or recite what you have learned. In this way, students can achieve the five senses in class, that is, listening, watching, speaking, touching and thinking, and effectively cultivate the ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Therefore, junior high school teachers should try their best to tap the interest of teaching materials and design more interesting English dialogues, so that students can actively use their brains and participate in classroom activities. Secondly, using multimedia teaching, using wall charts, cards, objects, audio-visual equipment, stick figures and so on. Creating a scene of language communication in classroom teaching can make students feel immersive, increase the capacity of the classroom and improve the teaching effect.
3. Do a good job of linking students' study habits and learning methods. Great changes have taken place in the environment since primary school students entered middle school. English teachers in junior middle schools often ignore the connection between pupils' habits and behaviors. When students enter middle school for the first time, the habitual behavior problems mainly include: irregular writing, careless homework, many spelling mistakes, vague grammatical concepts, replacing English with Chinese, etc.
Some parents reported that their children had nothing to do after finishing the assigned homework, and suggested that the teacher increase the amount of homework. This incident shows that many students have not developed good study habits. Through the connection of learning habits, students are required to form the habit of conscious learning, that is, paying attention to lectures, taking notes carefully, sorting out notes, completing homework and finding problems. Preview before class, review after class, and read frequently.
4. Do a good job of connecting primary and secondary school students' learning interests. The unique age characteristics of primary school students are curiosity, activity and thirst for knowledge. After entering the first grade, I am still naive and romantic, have a sense of justice, and hate people and things I don't like. This requires English teachers to seriously grasp the interest of teaching materials in junior high school English teaching, and create vivid language communication situations by using various visual teaching AIDS, so that students can learn English in real situations, experience the interest of English learning and enjoy the fun of English learning. Carry out various English extracurricular activities, such as competitions, to meet students' psychological needs, so that students can consolidate and apply what they have learned in the activities and enjoy the fun of success in the competitions.
5. Do a good job in linking the content and form of teaching evaluation. Teachers should organize diagnostic English tests with moderate difficulty, including vocabulary tests, comprehensive tests and listening tests. Through the test, teachers can understand the English learning foundation of all students, improve teachers' further understanding of students, provide reliable teaching basis for teachers to prepare lessons and attend classes, urge students with poor learning to understand each other, find problems in time, adjust their learning plans in time, and make up for the lack of learning. Recently, I made some return visits to parents who started school in junior and senior high schools, and I felt a lot. I think it's really not easy for parents. The vast majority of parents told me that their children's English scores are ok, and they can get about 90 points in school, but they can't learn knowledge outside school. One of my parents even told me that I thought my children's English scores were very good before, but last year I let them take the BETS 1. I was shocked to realize that my child's English performance was not so good, so I signed up for the course of learning and thinking in junior high school. This year, the children feel that they have gained a lot.
Dear junior high school parents, English has become more and more important since the children entered junior high school. In junior high school, the proportion of English is not as big as that of mathematics, but once you enter junior high school, the amount of words is equally important. Therefore, after entering junior high school, parents should not only pay attention to their children's math scores, but also pay attention to their children's English scores. The senior high school entrance examination is over. Parents can use this long holiday to make up their children's English, so that their children can have a transition period from primary school to junior high school. Otherwise, when their children officially go to school in September, they may be a little uncomfortable and can't keep up with the class. In this case, children's self-confidence will be hit, their interest in English learning will decline, and they will even doubt their learning ability.
I always tell the parents of the children in my class that they must keep their children in a learning state before the summer school begins. Recite a new concept text every day and watch Disney soundtrack cartoons for half an hour. In this way, children will not forget words and grammar, and they can practice listening while enjoying cartoons. Learning is gradual, and learning is something that needs perseverance. Practice a little every day and accumulate more. We can't get fat in one bite. Parents should cultivate their children's excellent study habits. Sometimes habit is more important than ability.
