What advanced information technologies are used to assist English teaching in primary schools?
2 1 century is the century when human beings enter the information society in an all-round way. Our education should face the future, the world, modernization and the future information society. With the continuous development of modern educational technology, information technology has been widely used in the field of education and teaching, especially in assisting English teaching in primary schools. "English Curriculum Standards" points out: "Teachers should make full use of modern educational technology, develop English teaching resources, broaden students' learning channels, improve students' learning methods and improve teaching effect." Modern information education technology represented by multimedia can express images, animations, sounds and videos, and can simulate and realize a virtual world. It is precisely because of these teaching advantages of modern information technology that English teaching in primary schools is more vivid, vivid and realistic, easy for students to accept, easy to stimulate the feelings of teachers and students, arouse students' enthusiasm for learning, improve teaching effect and achieve teaching objectives. The characteristics of primary school English are: wide range of subjects, strong sense of life and strong communication; The psychological characteristics of students are: high interest, strong curiosity and poor learning persistence. According to their characteristics, information technology is of great significance to broaden English teaching channels in primary schools. Therefore, I widely use information technology in primary school English classes, which can be summarized as follows:

Clever use of information technology means, optimization of lead-in, to stimulate students' interest in learning.

Lead-in has always been an important part of classroom teaching, which is regarded as a key step to stimulate students' interest in learning, and even one of the factors related to the success or failure of a class. With multimedia, we can import it through multimedia courseware, which makes it much easier to import. At the same time, learning interest is an important condition to improve learning effect. Einstein once said, "Interest is the best teacher." Therefore, how to stimulate students' interest in learning and arouse their enthusiasm for learning in classroom teaching is always in a state of positive thinking and a prerequisite for a good class. In view of the characteristics of primary school students, such as young age, lively and active, easy to stimulate but fast to disappear, appropriate teaching methods should be used in teaching to maintain the continuity of learning interest. Information technology teaching plays an irreplaceable role in stimulating students' interest in learning. Through the use of multimedia courseware, the monotonous content in the textbook is vividly described by the combination of words, sounds and images. The situation it creates is more intuitive and infectious, which can fully stimulate students' desire and interest in learning and accept new knowledge in a relaxed and happy way, thus improving learning efficiency and achieving teaching objectives.

For example, before the English class begins, the noisy classroom environment will affect the mood of teachers and students, thus affecting the teaching effect to a certain extent. Two or three minutes before class, I will use multimedia to make animation and provide dubbing or beautiful music to carry out "Good morning" and "How are you?" "Are you happy today?" Wait; It can also provide a pleasant background of English teaching songs, perform chorus to stimulate students' desire for activities, and lead students to enter the classroom easily and naturally with lively and cheerful music rhythm.

Clever use of information technology means increasing classroom capacity, saving time and improving efficiency.

Classroom teaching generally lasts only forty minutes. Traditional teaching methods are mainly blackboards and textbooks. Due to the limitation of time, the central nervous system of the brain is often established, and the information connection is established, thus inducing the brain to react quickly, strengthening the memory process, improving the memory efficiency, shortening the teaching time and increasing the teaching information capacity. It can inspire students' thinking, mobilize students' various senses to participate in learning activities together, and achieve the purpose of saving time and efficiency.

For example, in the study of English unit 1 my new teacher Let's Talk, the traditional teaching method is to finish the dialogue in the book before class. If we use multimedia courseware, we can create a situation for students to know new teachers at the beginning of school, so that they can apply the conversations we have learned to their lives and deepen their memories. At the same time, we can use multimedia courseware to write dialogue content according to the actual situation of students and make it into flash, for example, who is your English teacher? Miss Xia. What does she look like? After she was tall and young. Made into Flash, it can deepen students' understanding and application of dialogue.

Using information technology skillfully to create situations and improve students' thinking level.

Environment plays an important role in the development of language ability. Pupils can only learn language and communicate in a certain environment. However, there are few English training environments and opportunities in daily life. Students in China often lack certain language environment and opportunities for language practice, and in actual teaching, they often only pay attention to the study of sentence patterns and ignore their specific applications. Therefore, many students can get fixed and isolated knowledge points from prototype examples and textbook exercises, but their ability to transfer these knowledge to real life situations is poor, and they are helpless when they encounter practical problems in different situations. This requires us to use various means to build. Children like cartoons and even want to be one of them. If we use the function of movie video to insert a vivid and interesting cartoon into the teaching courseware and combine it closely with the teaching material, we can stimulate students' strong interest in learning. Through computers, we can turn abstract teaching contents into concrete audio-visual images, making the learning process dynamic, quiet and illustrated, thus simulating real life scenes in the classroom. This not only shortens the distance between teaching and reality, but also provides opportunities for students to communicate in English, satisfies their curious and active psychology, allows students to contact the scene and stimulates them to express their desires. This kind of situational learning undoubtedly promotes learning transfer to a certain extent, and makes students improve their communicative competence in English communication activities.

Primary school students' thinking is based on perceptual knowledge, and when they are not stimulated and enlightened by external media, they often have thinking obstacles. In classroom teaching, the rational use of audio-visual media can effectively stimulate various organs of the human body, stimulate students' thinking, enable students to gain vivid and rich perceptual knowledge, and guide students' thinking in time, so that the key points and difficulties in the classroom will be solved, thus achieving the effect of sweeping away and getting twice the result with half the effort. In teaching, audio-visual means are used to expand students' information sources from textbooks to a wider range, providing students with novel activity scenes, such as teaching Unit 5 in Grade Four. What do you want to learn? Alet's talk, this part is mainly to let students master a fairy tale character about these sentence patterns: I'm hungry \ What do you want for dinner? I want something ... Everything is ready. It's extremely cold. There are goose feather-like snowflakes floating in the sky, dancing one after another, beautiful! This is undoubtedly a great "temptation" for students. In order to divert students' attention, why not let yourself play the role of Snow Girl to organize teaching and create a real situation of applying knowledge in class? So, I turned around in front of the podium and danced with my arms. "Hi, boys and girls. I am Snow Beauty. I'm Snow Girl. Nice to meet you! The children greeted me warmly at once: Nice to meet you, too. T: I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Clever students immediately replied with the food vocabulary they learned last class: Hamburg \ hot dog \ cake ... T: Great, would you like to entertain me with these things? Can you entertain me in English? " All right! Cheers filled the classroom. Suddenly, the class was in full swing. S 1: "Would you like some hamburgers? S2: "Would you like to ...? "Children regard the classroom as their home and take out what they like to entertain guests. The children talked with her with their limited knowledge of English, which gave them more confidence and enthusiasm for language. This is full of freshness for students, and it attracts students to use their brains and think positively, connecting language learning with real life situations, improving students' creative thinking ability, encouraging students to think from multiple angles and levels, and learning to use language in language environment, so as to achieve the purpose of applying what they have learned.

Using information technology skillfully to optimize listening, speaking, reading and writing training

With the help of information technology, English classroom can adopt "situational teaching method" for teaching. "Situational teaching method" means that teachers collect and create vivid pictures or video clips according to the situation described in the textbook, with the help of computer technology and network, supplemented by vivid explanations and beautiful music, and reproduce the scene described in the textbook, so that students seem to be in it, such as hearing, seeing and being there; In this case, teachers and students are having a dialogue with scenes. Situational teaching is beneficial to English listening, speaking, reading, writing and training. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the basic skills of students and the basic requirements of English training in primary schools. According to psychological tests, most knowledge is acquired through vision. Therefore, the use of audio-visual teaching methods in teaching can effectively improve learning efficiency. Listening and reading is a psychological process for students to obtain meaning from words and language situations through hearing. The participation of multimedia effectively improves the quality of listening and reading. Multimedia means make students accept information from text in textbooks into perceivable sound and visual scenes, which solves the problem that they can't fully accept information due to insufficient cognitive level, makes more students participate in the teaching process and improves the teaching quality. Using multimedia, students can consciously listen to English recordings and watch English videos. The standard pronunciation is more attractive and the video is vivid, which lays the foundation for students to form a sense of language and improve their oral and writing skills. Speaking and writing are both processes of expression. Intuitive multimedia enriches the content of students' speaking and writing, shortens the training period of students and improves the teaching quality.

In short, from the overall perspective of English teaching in primary schools, the proper use of information technology multimedia teaching is conducive to breaking through teaching difficulties, mobilizing students' enthusiasm for learning English and promoting their all-round development. Through modern information technology, teachers can guide students to get rid of excessive dependence on teachers, actively practice autonomous learning of English, break through the limitations of classroom teaching and prescribed textbooks, thus stimulating students' interest in learning, carrying out situational teaching, activating classroom atmosphere, cultivating students' creative thinking ability, and effectively monitoring students' learning situation and teaching process. In this teaching mode, students can change passive agitators into active participants and improve the bilateral relationship between teaching and learning. In today's information age, we should face up to the reality, carefully analyze the concepts and problems that are not in conformity with the quality in current teaching, establish the concept of keeping pace with the times, establish the student-oriented idea, create the best environment, seek the best way, change the outdated teaching mode and teaching method, and lay the foundation for students' lifelong development.
