Experience of English Curriculum Reform
Since the implementation of the new junior high school English curriculum, I have encountered many difficulties in teaching, but at the same time I have also experienced a lot of fun. The following is my teaching experience in the past year:
1. The Role of Body Language in Oral English Teaching There are two language forms of human expression and expression: vocal language and body language. Delicate and systematic vocal language is a unique language form of human beings and the most basic means of interpersonal communication. However, in real life, under certain circumstances, the weakness of timeliness and abstraction of spoken language will be exposed, and then human beings have to communicate with other auxiliary means. Body language as we know it is one of the forms used by human beings.
In junior high school English teaching, oral English is the main means for teachers to engage in teaching and cultivate students' sense of language. But often the unfamiliar pronunciation and special grammar of foreign words will make primary school students feel the great difference from their mother tongue, which will lead to inner rejection. Therefore, it leads to various learning difficulties in memory and understanding. If these difficulties pile up bit by bit, it will dampen children's enthusiasm for learning. In fact, the use of body language teaching in teaching can solve these difficulties. For example, when learning English 26 letters, I adopted the teaching method of body language. Teachers often feel this way. When learning English letters, the class will be boring and the students' enthusiasm will be poor. So I learned these lessons. When I do this project again, I will fully mobilize the active classroom atmosphere and make the whole class in an excited state. I will teach students to spell the shape of letters with gestures and deepen their understanding of letters. In class activities, the students were inspired and used their brains to spell out the shapes of 26 English letters with their own limbs. Students can use their brains and give full play to their abilities, which will soon be mastered. Then let them add specific expressions, so that they can learn quickly and are interested. Furthermore, I made up a jingle according to the shape of each letter. This method is in line with children's interest in learning and easy to remember. For example, when learning the letter ABCDE, I asked my children to sing nursery rhymes. Sharp angle a, double circle b, semicircle c, steamed bread d, inverted mountain e? . Through several exercises, the students' emotions were fully mobilized, and even some students who usually don't like to talk actively practiced with other students, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of these students. The above teaching practice proves the following three points:
(a) The image and toughness of body language can assist teaching very effectively. Proper and correct use of body language can popularize profound things, visualize abstract things, get twice the result with half the effort and improve teaching effect and efficiency.
(2) The use of body language enriches the teaching methods and means, and breaks the teaching mode of simple lectures. Diversified teaching methods can attract students' attention to the greatest extent. Students' participation in performance demonstration activities reflects their main role. (3) Body language-assisted teaching is more suitable for young students' learning psychology, which can easily arouse their resonance and stimulate their interest. Therefore, it will be effective to use body language consciously and pertinently, especially in foreign language teaching of grade seven.
Second, how to improve the effect of English classroom teaching. The new curriculum standard clearly emphasizes paying attention to each student's emotion, stimulating their interest in learning, enhancing their practical ability and cultivating their innovative spirit. In the teaching reform experiment of the new curriculum level, teachers should adapt to the new role as soon as possible, highlight new technical concepts, use new teaching materials and improve the classroom teaching effect. The new curriculum standard is a guiding document for teachers to prepare lessons. Only by being familiar with the curriculum standards can we grasp the teaching direction of curriculum reform, explain the lessons clearly and organize the teaching effectively. Learning textbooks should be done in three words:? Understanding, infiltration and transformation? . ? Do you understand? It is the design idea of the textbook and the main content of the textbook. Every knowledge point should be understood so as to impart knowledge correctly. ? Through? That is, we should not only understand the teaching materials, but also be familiar with them and use them skillfully; ? Change? It means that teachers' teaching methods should be combined with the flexibility, openness and scientificity of teaching materials. The new curriculum standard calls for the change of teachers' role. In the process of teaching, teachers are no longer teachers in the traditional sense, but organizers and guides of the classroom. In the learning process, teachers and students cooperate in learning, complete teaching objectives, guide students' practice, help students to participate, cooperate, explore and make them feel successful, and adjust their emotions and strategies in the teaching process, so that students are full of curiosity and happiness in each class. Curriculum is an important way to achieve educational goals and the most important basis for organizing educational activities, that is, curriculum is at the core of education. The new curriculum advocates experiential and participatory learning, cultivates students' comprehensive language use ability and innovative learning ability, and enables students to learn and grow through experience, cooperation, exploration and communication. Einstein, a famous scientist, said: Interest is the best teacher? . If we can stimulate students' interest in learning English, they will have a strong thirst for knowledge. Therefore, in the teaching process, we should pay attention to the advantages of students' potential non-intellectual factors, try our best to enhance the interest of English teaching, creatively provide students with a variety of English learning environment, make the classroom training content close to students' real life, arouse students' enthusiasm, make students have a relaxed, happy and positive learning mood, and make students' thinking synchronized with teachers.
A summary of English curriculum reform in middle schools
It has been a year and a half since the new curriculum reform came into our sight and stepped into the substantive practice of the classroom. Under the correct leadership and specific guidance of superiors, the working ideas of understanding, researching and promoting curriculum reform have been established. After nearly a year and a half of reform experiments, our understanding of curriculum reform has gradually changed from abstract and superficial to concrete and in-depth The curriculum reform has shown us a new stage and a new world, changed teachers' educational concept and promoted the reform of English teaching in our school. The summary of the one and a half years' curriculum reform records the rational exploration, careful planning, rich emotion and lively atmosphere of all English teachers in our school.
First of all, curriculum reform begins with theoretical study.
To do a good job in curriculum reform, we must first solve the problem of teachers' understanding. As long as the understanding is in place and the concept is changed, the curriculum reform can be carried out smoothly. First of all, the school pays special attention to general education training, and has organized theoretical study of basic education reform and curriculum reform since the first half of XX. Buy curriculum standards for English teachers six months in advance, and make sure that every teacher has one. Teachers are required to study and interpret curriculum standards in advance, understand the basic requirements of curriculum reform, and organize at least three teaching and research activities to study, discuss and exchange curriculum standards every semester, so that everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of curriculum standards. At the same time, the school has sent relevant leaders and some English backbone teachers to participate in district, city and provincial curriculum reform training. Watch lectures and demonstration videos on curriculum reform, and organize discussions. It can be said that the concept of curriculum reform has penetrated into the minds of all English teachers in the school.
Second, from the teaching and research activities to explore curriculum reform
We have carried out down-to-earth discipline training and study, and we have practiced while learning. Implement teaching and research activities every semester? Five decisions? (Set time, place, content, speaker and text summary), the teaching and research group is required to organize at least three special teaching and research activities related to the curriculum reform, and the lesson preparation group insists on preparing lessons collectively every other week, studying teaching materials and discussing teaching methods and learning methods. Combine general study with project research organically, and strive to make the teaching of curriculum reform correct, applicable and effective. At the same time, organize English teachers to actively participate in various curriculum reform activities organized by various districts and cities, and learn from the practices of brother schools. Carry out teaching competitions in schools to improve teachers' enthusiasm and ability to learn new courses. It is also stipulated that each teacher should listen to at least 1-2 classes of classmates in the same grade every week, and hold discussion activities on teaching and research classes in the preparation group every other week to continuously improve the teaching rules through dissecting cases. In a year and a half, we have conducted 30 in-school research classes and 8 district-level curriculum reform research classes. Among them, where did Mr. Xin Li attend? Innovative development? Won the first prize in the quality class competition, and Mr. Liu Ying and Mr. Kuang participated in the district? New curriculum reform case? The competition won the third prize.
? V. Practice of Curriculum Reform in Teaching Activities
In the classroom teaching of each semester, English teachers in our school earnestly practice and strive to teach according to the concept of curriculum reform. Change the tradition? The teacher spoke with relish and the students listened silently? Classroom conditions, teachers try their best to mobilize students and let students actively participate in learning activities, so that teachers can truly become? A leader in equality? Let the classroom become a platform for students' autonomy, cooperation and exploration. The classroom atmosphere is brand-new than before, and students react strongly. They think that teachers' teaching is flexible, vivid and interesting, and they are willing to actively participate in the interaction between teachers and students. Parents also report that after entering junior high school, students' interest in primary school has changed, they are full of enthusiasm for learning and take the initiative to carry out various extracurricular learning activities.
Sixth, deepen curriculum reform in colorful activities.
1, opening? English corner? Let students and classmates, teachers and foreign teachers speak English happily.
2. Hold a variety of interesting English classes such as English song appreciation, English story meeting and English drama performance, so that students can learn English happily.
Run an English blackboard newspaper. Not only can students learn to acquire, process and communicate English information, but also can students learn to draw beautiful English with strokes.
4. Carefully organize students to participate in various English competitions inside and outside the school, so that students can constantly taste the taste of success in English learning.
5. keep it? Happy English demonstration? Activities provide students with a colorful platform to show their personalities and specialties.
These colorful activities provide students with a vast and brand-new world. Students acquire and consolidate knowledge through personal experience, thus greatly improving their language communication ability. They translate fascinating scientific papers in vivid English; They won the first prize and the second prize in the national English Olympic competition every year. Is Jesuli Chen in this city? Deep map cup? The host of the English short play won the first prize in the competition; Du Huaxia won the first prize of the first English speech contest for middle school students in Futian District. No wonder the students all say that the colorful activities in English are the position for us to display our talents, the source for us to find happiness, and more importantly, us? Planting? English garden. ?
Seven, the curriculum reform should evaluate the reform and promotion.
With the development of curriculum reform, the school also explores new evaluation methods to show students' learning situation through comprehensive evaluation, so as to evaluate and promote students' development and teachers' improvement and improvement of teaching practice. After repeated discussions and experiments by all the teachers, the English department has become an English department? Student formative assessment scale? , including students' classroom behavior evaluation form (teachers evaluate students' classroom participation), students' self-evaluation form, parents' observation evaluation form and classmates' evaluation form. In addition, according to the characteristics and teaching practice of this subject, we have formulated? Student growth record bag? . Record students? Highlights? The development of middle and lower class students' transformation records.
Eight, the curriculum reform is deepened in the summary.
Curriculum reform needs to be explored and summarized. We ask every English teacher to try reflective teaching, try to write postscript after class, and constantly sum up the teaching reform. The school regularly holds experimental seminars on curriculum reform to exchange experiences, experiences and puzzles. Through seminars and teaching research, teachers have learned some good practices and put forward better solutions to the existing problems. The idea of curriculum reform experiment is clearer, the operation of curriculum reform experiment is more scientific and the confidence is more firm. At the end of each semester, the teaching and research group and the preparation group are required to write a teaching summary, and each teacher writes a teaching summary; Summarize the systematic experience and shortcomings of the whole teaching period. At the same time, each teacher submits excellent curriculum reform cases, reflections and papers to the school teaching department.
The English curriculum reform in our school has just begun. We can only say that we have gained some experience and some lessons. In particular, some teachers' educational concepts have not completely changed and still exist in teaching? Wear new shoes and take the old road? At the same time, in the face of uneven students, how to make all students devote themselves to the new curriculum, so that students and teachers can grow together in the curriculum reform? This also requires the whole group of English teachers in our school to continue to explore, in the curriculum reform? Experimental field? Intensive cultivation.
Learning experience of English curriculum reform in primary schools
On March 27th this year, I had the honor to participate in the English curriculum reform study in primary schools organized by Chengmai County Education Bureau, and listened carefully to Teacher Chen Li's On the Effectiveness of English Classroom Teaching in Primary Schools, which made me have a further understanding of the contents and writing ideas of the newly compiled English textbooks and mastered the teaching methods. At the same time, I watched excellent video lessons and attended seminars to learn the advantages of others, which made me deeply understand and feel a lot. In order to jointly improve students' English learning ability and promote their development, especially under the new curriculum concept, I think I should do the following:
First, create an equal, democratic and relaxed classroom atmosphere, while paying attention to emotion, strategy and evaluation.
In classroom teaching, an equal, democratic and relaxed classroom atmosphere is very important. In teaching, our teachers are naturally generous and the classroom atmosphere is harmonious. Teachers are not students who can't criticize, satirize or ridicule, but encourage students to speak English boldly, create incentives in class, and encourage students with a smile, a look or a small red flower. Let students have enough self-confidence and cultivate their self-confidence. Lay a good foundation for students' sustainable development in the future, stimulate their interest in learning English and cultivate their positive attitude towards learning English. Motivation is the most basic function of education, and children who grow up in an atmosphere of motivation will make continuous progress. The students who were praised were in high spirits when they saw the whole class clapping their hands and shouting out these comments. Stowe Hui, a German educator, said: "The art of education lies not in imparting skills, but in inspiring, awakening and encouraging." This sentence fully illustrates the role of evaluation on students, and evaluation is also an art. A good evaluation method can not only satisfy students' sense of success, but also stimulate students' spirit of continuous progress. Learning evaluation can take many forms: formal evaluation combined with summative evaluation, individual evaluation combined with other evaluations, and group evaluation combined with grading comments, which should be used flexibly in teaching. In this way, the evaluation of students is comprehensive and reasonable.
Second, the classroom teaching for all students
The new curriculum standard advocates "people-oriented" and? All for the students, all for the students, all for the students? In classroom teaching, we should take "proceeding from students' reality and facing all students" as the starting point to deepen classroom teaching reform. Because the goal of primary school English is to stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in learning English, we are facing children in the process of growth and development. Their subjective consciousness and ability to actively act on objects are weaker than those of adults, so they should be said to be a developing subject and need further development. Therefore, we regard subjectivity as the most essential attribute, and take English teaching as the main channel to promote the development of students' subjectivity. Therefore, in teaching, in order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all students, we should prepare lessons carefully before class, adopt various effective teaching methods in class, improve students' interest in learning English, increase the opportunities for each student to practice oral English, and enable each student to actively participate in classroom teaching activities. Due to the individual differences of students, teachers can also proceed from the individual reality of students and teach students in accordance with their aptitude, aiming at different levels and personality characteristics of students. Design different levels and types of practical content, adopt different means and put forward different requirements. In English classroom teaching, we should correctly handle the relationship between "point" and "face", give every student equal learning opportunities, and urge every student to develop and improve within the scope of their own natural consent on the basis of their own.
Third, clear teaching objectives in classroom teaching
First of all, when making teaching objectives, we should follow the principle of development and put forward appropriate requirements for students step by step, so that students' learning objectives can be realized, but they must be achieved through hard work. Secondly, we should correctly understand and deal with the relationship between teaching and learning, and make clear the dominant position of students and the leading role of teachers. In class, our teacher is good at acting as "commander" and "director", making students the main body of each class. Make them truly become the main body of classroom teaching, fully mobilize their enthusiasm for participation, and make them realize the success and joy brought by active learning. Because primary school students are lively and active by nature, teachers should pay attention to the characteristics of children's activeness, being good at simulation, loving talking, singing and acting when organizing classroom teaching, and use flexible and diverse teaching methods and means to guide students to learn English in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and form good habits of speaking and loving speaking. And constantly cultivate their curiosity, so that students' interest in learning will last for a long time. The teacher's duty is to teach students knowledge and the ability to acquire knowledge. One is? Fish? And the second one is? Fishing? In the process of foreign language teaching, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Fishing? Is it more than just giving full play to students' subjective role, mobilizing students' subjective initiative in learning foreign languages and cultivating learners' learning strategies and methods? For fish? It is more important and useful for students.
Fourth, shortcomings:
In the teaching process, it is found that some students can understand the basic knowledge of English, but due to the limitation of their own quality, there is still a certain distance from the requirements of English curriculum standards in teaching practice. For example, the interaction between teachers and students needs to be further strengthened in the creation of English atmosphere and application innovation. Teaching needs to emancipate the mind, make bold attempts and strengthen self-construction.
In short, through these teaching attempts, the English classroom atmosphere will be extremely active, students will be active in learning, their listening and speaking abilities will be greatly improved, their sense of cooperation and communication skills will be greatly enhanced, and their interest in learning English will be unprecedented. As teachers, we can feel the comfort and joy brought by the new curriculum reform. But this is just the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do. We still need to constantly learn the relevant theories of the new curriculum reform and apply them to teaching practice to enrich our primary school English classroom!
