Strategies for Creating Efficient English Classroom in Junior High School I. English Teaching Concept of New Curriculum Standards
Quality education focusing on cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability is the main theme of today's education reform, and classroom teaching is the main position to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability. In the new English curriculum standard, the purpose of English curriculum is: the purpose of English curriculum in basic education stage is to stimulate and cultivate students' interest in learning, help students establish self-confidence, form effective learning strategies and develop good study habits; Enable students to master certain basic knowledge and skills of language, establish a preliminary sense of language, acquire basic language application ability, develop intelligence, cultivate observation, memory, thinking, imagination and creativity, understand cultural differences, cultivate patriotism, enhance world awareness, enable students to initially form a sound personality, and lay a good foundation for their sustainable development.
Second, the requirements of new curriculum standards
The educational concept of the new curriculum should face all students and pay attention to quality education; Advocate experiential participation; Pay attention to process evaluation and promote students' development; Develop curriculum resources and expand learning channels; Mobilize students' enthusiasm in class, let students fully integrate into teaching activities and communicate with teachers.
Advocating new curriculum standards? Teachers should emphasize students' subjectivity in teaching, and students should construct knowledge, improve their skills and autonomous learning ability under the guidance of teachers, so as to lay a good foundation for students' lifelong learning and development? . This requires teachers to change the tendency of paying too much attention to the explanation and teaching of grammar and vocabulary knowledge, ignoring the cultivation of students' practical language application ability, avoiding the teaching mode of simply teaching language knowledge and adopting it as much as possible. Task type? In terms of teaching methods, actively create scenarios to train students? Be able to do sth. For the purpose of teaching; Students' learning changes from mechanical and passive learning to acquiring knowledge through their own experience, participation, practice, cooperation and communication, and changes from passive learning to active participation in learning, forming a positive learning attitude and promoting the improvement of language use ability.
Third, the status quo of English teaching
The present situation of English teaching in junior middle schools is not optimistic. Students feel that learning is very hard and their English scores are declining. Teachers and parents try their best to make up lessons or increase homework for students. In the long run, students become disgusted with English learning, gradually lose interest in English learning, and even some students completely lose confidence in English learning. Personally, one of the reasons for this result is that students participate too little in class, gain too little in class, do too much homework, and even often do a lot of repeated exercises to master knowledge. Faced with this situation, it is very necessary to improve the efficiency of English classroom teaching, let students enrich their happy study in an effective 40-minute classroom and reduce their energy in doing homework in their spare time.
At the same time, teachers should also do:
1. Stimulate interest in learning English
Kong Ziyun:? Knowing is not as good as being good, and being good is not as good as being happy? ; Einstein also said that? Interest is the best teacher? . First of all, we should educate students about the purpose and importance of learning English, and let them know that English is the most widely used language in the world, and 70% of business contacts, international conferences and scientific papers in the world are conducted in English. Secondly, teachers should encourage more, praise more, criticize less and reprimand less in class, so as to help some students overcome their timidity and inferiority complex, thus establishing self-confidence and stimulating learning motivation. On the premise of recognizing and respecting the individual differences in learning, teachers should adopt various teaching methods and design different activities to truly teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so that every student can be praised and encouraged by teachers, thus achieving success and happiness. Before class, the teacher plays some classic English songs with multimedia, such as? Take me to your heart? ,? Yesterday's reappearance? And so on, let students revel in the beautiful feelings expressed by the beautiful melody, thus stimulating their interest in learning English. Classroom rhythm also affects students' interest in learning. Teachers should stare at students' eyes in class and guess their thoughts through their eyes. If you find that students can't keep up with the teacher, you should slow down the progress; Or conversely, Dallas goes to the auditorium. In short, too fast or too slow a pace will make students uninterested in teachers and courses.
2. Create a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere
The ancients cloud? Kiss his teacher and believe in his way? . Lively English class is a kind of enjoyment for students; On the contrary, it is a kind of mental torture. Euphemistic criticism, well-meaning smile and moderate humor all give students a good mood. A harmonious and pleasant classroom atmosphere between teachers and students is beneficial to students' physical and mental health, enhances students' cognitive ability and thus improves learning efficiency. Teachers should pay attention to cultivating affinity at ordinary times. An amiable teacher will be welcomed by students, and naturally his class will be liked by students. Love and respect between people are mutual; Similarly, the status between teachers and students is equal.
3. Cultivate the ability of thinking and analysis
? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish? . The responsibility of teachers is not to teach, but to teach students to learn, especially to learn to think and analyze. Teachers should also teach students good English learning methods while teaching. Good learning methods can get twice the result with half the effort. Clever teachers will not speak cheerfully in class, or even recite lesson plans by heart, but are good at promoting the formation of students' thinking ability. Inspiring students' thinking is the most important basic skill of teachers. Teachers should inspire students or cooperate with them and explore with their foresight and flexibility. In class, the teacher should leave it to the students? Enlightenment? Time and space. For students who have difficulties in the process of enlightenment, teachers should give timely guidance and must not replace them, depriving students of opportunities for exploration, thinking and discovery. Murder? Students' desire for innovation.
Teachers should carefully select examples according to the requirements of classroom teaching content, and make comprehensive analysis from various angles such as difficulty, structural characteristics and thinking methods. The answers can be written entirely by the teacher and partly by the students. When explaining examples, students should be involved instead of being contracted by the teacher to fill the students' rooms. Teachers should set aside ten minutes before class to let students do exercises or think about teachers' questions, or answer students' questions, so as to further digest the teaching content of this class.
To sum up, teachers should start from three aspects: preparing lessons before class, classroom teaching and feedback and reflection after class, constantly improve their own quality and personality charm, create a harmonious and relaxed classroom atmosphere, stimulate students' interest in learning, constantly innovate in cultivating students' thinking and analysis ability and designing flexible teaching methods, and promote the harmonious unity of teachers, students, classrooms, teaching objectives, teaching contents, teaching methods and teaching means in the teaching process, and finally realize an efficient classroom.
