English learning is a brand-new challenge for freshmen. How to make them master the basics of English quickly and become masters of English learning? This paper will provide educators with some practical teaching skills and learning methods to help freshmen make a leap in English learning.

Start with phonetic symbols

Guiding freshmen to learn English from phonetic symbols and mastering this basic tool will not only benefit them for life, but also reduce the time for teachers to teach new words repeatedly.

intuitional teaching aid

In class, teachers can make more use of visual AIDS, such as objects, pictures or multimedia, combined with sound and video, so that students can imitate more intuitively. This can not only stimulate their interest, but also give them a sense of accomplishment in learning.

Patience guidance

Patience and perseverance are two magic weapons in junior high school English teaching. Teachers should encourage students to speak English. Even if their pronunciation is wrong, we should first affirm their courage and then patiently correct it. Keep checking and urging, and you will see their progress.

Focus on the key points

Classroom teaching should focus on the key points while maintaining the diversity of forms. Each class revolves around one or two sentence patterns or knowledge points, and designs colorful teaching activities to ensure that every student can participate and learn.

Reflection after class

Teachers should communicate with students, understand their thoughts and learning situation, and at the same time reflect on their own teaching methods, thinking about which methods are effective and which need improvement, so as to better guide them.
