Can arouse children's enthusiasm, 1. Have a certain talent, 2 primary school English teachers should pronounce accurately, the first grade is the basic stage, it is time to cultivate learning initiative, 3. Teachers should accumulate more extracurricular English common sense and stories. First, English professional knowledge English is the major of primary school English teachers. For teachers engaged in English teaching in future primary schools, mastering systematic English professional knowledge is the guarantee to adapt to future English teaching. Although the content of primary school English teaching is some basic knowledge and skills, it is difficult for teachers to be competent for future primary school English teaching without solid and systematic English professional knowledge. English professional knowledge generally refers to English language, literature and culture, and also includes accurate and fluent English pronunciation and intonation, certain vocabulary close to children's life, solid knowledge of grammar, rhetoric and style, as well as cultural knowledge in the fields of history, geography, customs, cultural traditions, social system, political structure and values in China and English-speaking countries. The basic knowledge of language includes English pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, function, topic and cultural literacy. Good language skills include listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. English teachers in primary schools should have teaching theories and skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, how to cultivate children's listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, and good professional teaching skills such as teaching new courses and reviewing lessons. In addition, they should also understand the theory and practice of language test evaluation. The national education department stipulates that primary school teachers should reach the junior college level, then the English level of primary school English teachers should reach the junior college level of English majors. English teachers in primary schools must have systematic and solid knowledge of modern English, high English listening, speaking, reading, writing and comprehensive application ability. Only by reaching such a professional level can we fully master the teaching materials and answer students' questions about knowledge in and out of class. In a word, it is essential and necessary for primary school English teachers to learn the language knowledge, basic skills and cultural background knowledge of language countries and strengthen the reserve ability of language materials they teach. Second, theoretical literacy. English teaching activities in primary schools are not only the teaching of English language knowledge, but also other related professional knowledge. As far as theoretical literacy is concerned, primary school English teachers should have knowledge of modern foreign language learning theory, second language acquisition theory, foreign language educational psychology, curriculum theory and other related disciplines. 1. foreign language learning theory. The theory of mother tongue and second language acquisition, English test, English education history and English teaching methods are also very necessary for primary school English teachers. This knowledge helps primary school English teachers to fully understand the rules of primary school English teaching, scientific teaching test and evaluation methods, and the necessary knowledge to improve teaching efficiency. Without mastering modern language learning theory, we can't consciously and accurately position ourselves in the modern education system. Foreign language teachers, in particular, must also have some knowledge of foreign language teaching methods. There are many schools of foreign language teaching in the history of foreign language teaching, such as grammar translation, direct method, listening and speaking method, communicative method, suggestion method and silence method. These teaching methods are based on certain linguistic and psychological theories. English teachers in primary schools should understand the history and characteristics of different teaching methods, learn from each other's strong points, master the most basic teaching principles and methods in foreign language teaching, enrich practical knowledge and teaching skills, and improve classroom teaching level. 2. Knowledge of educational psychology. Education is scientific, and all educational and teaching activities are inseparable from the guidance of educational theory and psychological theory, especially quality education needs the guidance of modern educational theory and psychological theory. 2 1 Century Primary English teachers must master the knowledge of primary education, children's psychology and foreign language education psychology, follow the educational laws, and understand the basic principles of classroom teaching and the psychological characteristics of children learning foreign languages, such as children's memory, observation, thinking and interest, habits, will, personality and other psychological phenomena. Teachers should establish a correct educational concept and master the new achievements of educational theory, educational practice and educational modernization, such as curriculum, educational testing and evaluation, educational research methods, etc. In particular, I have a deep understanding of the basic position of primary education in the whole education and its enlightenment to children's development, and I have a clear understanding of the connotation and characteristics of children's development and the role of education in children's development. Primary school English teachers should be good at organically combining educational science theory with primary school English teaching practice, and cultivate their ability to integrate theory with practice, so that educational science theory can really play its role. In addition, teachers must also understand the age characteristics and foreign language learning psychology of primary school students. Children learn foreign languages with good memory and light psychological burden, which is an advantage for children to learn English well. But their attention is not easy to concentrate for a long time, and they don't like repeating words and mechanical training. If we let them memorize phonetic and grammatical rules and understand complicated language knowledge, we will ignore children's advantages in learning languages. Therefore, teachers should study the learning psychology, learning rules and teaching methods of primary school students. Teachers should attach importance to the development of children's non-intelligence factors, cultivate and stimulate their interest in English learning according to the characteristics and laws of primary school students' learning motivation and interest formation, and improve their consciousness and enthusiasm for learning; Arrange the teaching content according to the observation characteristics and thinking rules of primary school students, appropriately select and adjust the education and teaching strategies, design appropriate real language scenes and rich and varied language practice activities, attract students to actively participate in language practice activities, and guide students to better master language knowledge and skills; Arrange homework and organize review according to the memory law and forgetting law of primary school students; Give full play to the age advantage of primary school students and give priority to listening, speaking, reading, writing and communication skills training; Teaching students in accordance with their individual characteristics; According to the physiological characteristics and cognitive process of primary school students learning English, we can understand students' emotions and needs. Superb teaching art should be based on understanding students' learning situation and studying students' learning rules, and teaching should be carried out according to students' intellectual development and the characteristics of English knowledge, so as to improve the organizational ability and educational implementation ability of foreign language teaching. Therefore, the knowledge of psychology and pedagogy is also very important for primary school foreign language teachers. 3. Curriculum theoretical knowledge. Understanding curriculum knowledge is an essential accomplishment for future primary school English teachers. In the new round of curriculum reform, primary school English teachers should first understand the importance of facing all students and promoting their all-round development, because primary school curriculum is the foundation of foundation, and children in the process of physical and mental development are far from stereotyped. In the implementation of primary school curriculum, combining traditional receptive learning with independent inquiry learning, especially in the current primary school activity curriculum, can organize and guide students to carry out independent inquiry activities in various ways, enrich their personal experience, exercise their various abilities, cultivate their positive attitudes and emotions, and realize the unique value of English curriculum for the development of primary school students. English teachers in primary schools should have curriculum knowledge. In the past, the compilation and validation of teaching materials had little to do with front-line teachers. In order to cope with all kinds of examinations, teachers systematically teach students course knowledge. The main consideration is how to use appropriate teaching methods, not curriculum design. They play the role of a course executor, not a participant, and the theoretical knowledge of the course is relatively small and shallow. This curriculum reform and (standard) put forward the objectives of curriculum, structure, content, implementation, evaluation and management, requiring teachers to at least understand the theoretical knowledge and viewpoints such as subject curriculum, comprehensive curriculum, activity curriculum and curriculum structure; You should understand the basic knowledge and skills of curriculum design and development. Therefore, primary school English teachers need to have a deep understanding of the new round of curriculum reform in China, and have a good understanding of curriculum theory, outline design principles, primary school English teaching material analysis and other knowledge.
