What is the essence of English teaching? Can you be more specific?
English teachers teach hard and students learn painfully. What is the essence of English teaching? The ultimate goal of English teaching in middle schools is the entrance examination. What children want is to spend the least time and achieve satisfactory results, instead of spending a lot of time in endless classes, reciting texts and doing problems, and finally failing the exam.

English teachers teach very hard, mainly because they are disturbed by some routine things. They must write lesson plans according to the regulations. There must be prescribed classroom activities in the teaching plan. Many things have nothing to do with getting marks in the exam, but it is the children's marks that ultimately judge the teacher's level, so the teacher is very tired.

There are some English classroom activities, which require very high level of students. Even children who save key points may not do well in the exam. For example, in English class discussion, most of the cases are chatting, and those with moderate level can barely make up words to chat, but it is rare to really communicate effectively in English. Another example is the performance in English class. Most people just memorize what they want to say and take up a lot of after-school time, which will not only take up the effective study time after English class, but also take up the homework time of other subjects. Finally, finishing the performance is not very helpful to improve the score.

These activities are all part of the quality education required by the syllabus. Teachers have to write lesson plans and submit them. There is no way to change this. However, aside from these, if teachers and children don't know how to get grades. Children and parents are anxious because they spend a lot of time on English subjects, but they can't see the results. Teachers are also frustrated.

In fact, examination and quality education can be unified in teaching methods, and examination is a lower level requirement. As far as English is concerned, the good performance of exam-oriented ability is almost a prerequisite for the good performance of quality education.

Before entering high school, students should be allowed to recite 3500 words in high school in advance. From the point of view of exam-taking, the meaning of 3,500 words in senior high school English can be known by seeing the words, and the score of 150 is at least in the range of 80~ 1 10. It is difficult to do synchronous test paper in Grade One, and the score is above 1 10.

If an English teacher and all the students in his class do this, his teaching will become very easy, and the quality education activities required by his class will become very easy to carry out. At least the simple sentences spoken by the teacher in English in class can be understood by students, and some simple expressions can be spoken by students, so that there can be really effective communication and interaction in class.

Is it difficult to recite words? Not at all! Why are there so many students in Class One, Grade Three, who spend 30 to 40 minutes in English? However, can those tutors use these 30-40 students to recite words for them to earn money? Are those mentors better? No, it's just that they are good at using internet search and find many free methods that can be used. In this era, effective methods of English learning are highly open and free.

For those students who have difficulty in memorizing words, learn the "Sleep Memory Method" invented by Liao Weiwei, the English champion of the College Entrance Examination. The latest legal method, divided into 4000-word text version and 7 key videos, is free and open. After the search is found, it takes 15 minutes to teach yourself online, and the "four-one review" and "machine gun word reading method" are put in place. It takes only one hour to memorize 100 words every day. In high school, this is equivalent to saving time and improving grades.

Moreover, high school students don't even have to prepare their own word lists. Sleep memory method provides complete vocabulary for free. This vocabulary is printed on both sides of 20 sheets of paper, totaling 39 pages. According to the college entrance examination reading questions, the unit is divided into three parts according to the probability of each question: "high frequency, intermediate frequency and intermediate frequency". It is very logical to recite, and it is easier to recite 100 words a day by "sleep memory method".

If the children in a class improve their grades to 80~ 1 10 by memorizing words, it is equivalent to ensuring the English grades of a class and improving the average score of the whole class for this teacher. Memorizing words by sleep is suitable for students, but it is absolutely not enough for students with high scores to get 120, 130 or even 140.

Many teachers actually don't know the method of grading after reciting words, and they will only make great efforts to create miracles in a very general way. For example, let students recite a lot of texts, brush and talk about topics, and read a lot after class. But what is the real purpose of doing these things? What details are related to getting marks in the exam?

In fact, it is to improve the "grasp of phrases." English grammar in senior high school has entered the deep water area and started to learn complex morphology, which has no rules to follow. What phrases can a word be combined with to form a phrase? It is fixed. When combined into a phrase, its meaning is fixed. You can't guess, so you can only recite it all. However, the college entrance examination syllabus does not specify the scope of phrases, so it is difficult for both front-line teachers and students to collect and sort them out.

The hit rate of the Oxford Advanced Dictionary on the real phrases in the college entrance examination can reach 100%. Teachers of some famous universities in the province will ask students with excellent memories to recite the whole Oxford Advanced Dictionary. However, Oxford Advanced is 2300 pages, which can really memorize the whole dictionary, and the total number of students in the province will not exceed 10. Therefore, in order to form an effective memory, it is necessary to screen the possible contents of the Oxford College Entrance Examination.

The better one is "Senior High School English Test Center 15000", which sorts out the possible contents of the college entrance examination in the 2,300-page Oxford Dictionary, with only 72 pages of memory materials in the inductive layer. The hit rate of phrases in NMET English can be kept at 98%, which has been stable for 16 years. Moreover, the author disclosed the sorting method for free, and students who have spare capacity can sort it out by themselves according to the method.

We arranged our notes according to the strategy published by the author. The following year, when the author of "15000 test center" publishes a hit rate analysis report, if the phrases marked in the report can all hit in our own notes, then the notes we sorted out are effective notes. On this premise, if you can remember 50% of all phrases, your score will exceed 130, and if you can remember more than 80%, you will have the opportunity to challenge the high score of 140.

So is there a contradiction between students' reciting phrases and quality education? Not only is there no contradiction, but it is also very helpful. In spoken English, 40% of daily expressions are through phrases, not pure words. If you often watch American TV shows, you will find that foreigners will bring phrases in almost every sentence.

When children master a certain number of phrases and try to use them in spoken English, their oral expression will be closer to that of native speakers. What he can express will multiply, and he can express what he wants without memorizing many complicated words.

When this ability is practiced, children can participate in middle school students' English speech contests and even English debate contests, and the face of quality education that the whole class can show will suddenly rise. There is no contradiction between examination and quality education. Exam-taking ability is hard work, and quality education is the flexible application of exam-taking ability. Putting aside exams and talking about quality is the fundamental reason why everyone is tired of learning and teaching.
