Teaching is a bilateral activity composed of teachers and students to transmit and master social experience, and it is the basic way to implement all-round development education. Teaching activities are clear in purpose, systematic in content and well organized.

Teaching process is a process in which teachers guide students to master systematic basic knowledge and skills of culture and science in a purposeful and planned way according to certain social requirements and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development, and at the same time promote students' physical and mental training and moral cultivation. It can be roughly divided into five basic stages: stimulating learning motivation, perceiving teaching materials, understanding teaching materials, consolidating knowledge and applying knowledge.

The teaching process has its inherent and objective basic laws.

First, the combination of indirect experience and direct experience: indirect experience is the mainstay, learning indirect experience is combined with obtaining direct experience, and the unity of direct experience and indirect experience is adhered to.

Second, the leading role of teachers is unified with the main role of students: teachers play a leading role in teaching activities, are the leaders and organizers of teaching activities, are the guides of students' learning, and are the inspectors of learning quality; Students are the main body of learning activities, and teaching activities can only produce internalized effects through students' active learning activities; Adhere to the unity of teacher-led and student-centered.

Third, mastering knowledge and developing intelligence are unified: imparting knowledge and developing intelligence promote and influence each other. It is conditional for mastering knowledge to really promote the development of intelligence, and the law of unity between mastering knowledge and developing intelligence should be implemented.

Fourth, the combination of knowledge imparting and ideological and moral education: knowledge is the basis for the formation and development of ideological and moral character, and the improvement and development of students' ideological and moral character has laid the foundation for their active learning of knowledge, so we should adhere to the combination of knowledge imparting and ideological and moral education.

In order to correctly handle all kinds of contradictions in teaching, the following basic principles must be followed in teaching: the principle of intuition, that is, the correct choice of intuitive teaching AIDS and means in teaching. The demonstration of visual teaching AIDS should be combined with language explanation, emphasizing the use of language intuition. Enlightening principle: teachers should be "less but better" in teaching, leave students room for thinking, fully mobilize students' initiative in learning, set up problem situations, keep students in a positive thinking state, cultivate students' good thinking methods, and enable students to learn to think. Principle of consolidation: that is, in the process of teaching new knowledge, teachers should first make students really understand and consolidate on the basis of understanding, grasp the review and application links of students, teach students the methods of review and memory, and improve the effect of review and memory. The principle of step by step: that is, teachers should systematically teach according to the teaching materials, pay attention to the key points and difficulties while paying attention to the system, and the teaching should conform to the students' cognitive laws, from known to unknown, from concrete to abstract. The principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude: that is, teachers should understand students' actual and individual differences, adopt various ways to teach, adapt to students' individual differences, and cultivate students' specialties. The principle of integrating theory with practice: that is, teachers should attach importance to the teaching of book knowledge and let students master theoretical knowledge. In the teaching process of theoretical knowledge, we should attach importance to the combination with practice, strengthen the practical link of teaching, and cultivate students' comprehensive ability to use knowledge. Teaching laws and their stipulated principles objectively exist in the essential attributes of education. We must determine the methodology based on them in the actual teaching work to ensure that the teaching work is carried out in the right direction, that is, teaching has laws to follow, so education is a science. However, in the actual teaching process, according to the specific situation and the laws and principles of education, we choose or create our own teaching methods, form our own unique teaching style, and reflect the artistry of education under the scientific background. For example, in an English teaching class, some teachers have good language skills and are used to creating situations with language and telling stories to guide students to think and stimulate interest; Some teachers are used to showing problems with visual teaching AIDS, such as paper cutting and food, to arouse students' thinking? Every teacher has his own teaching method, which suits his own teaching mode and finally forms his own unique teaching style.
