Exploration and practice of English interest education in primary schools
Based on the author's own teaching experience, combined with some specific practices, experiences and feelings in primary school English teaching, this paper introduces the ways and methods of interest teaching in primary school English. Through examples, this paper expounds the methods of stimulating English learning interest in letter teaching, new word presentation and teaching improvisation, and emphasizes the important role and good effect of English interest teaching, which has a good guiding role for young teachers' teaching practice.
Keywords English interest teaching practice
In English teaching in primary schools, the phenomenon of repeated teaching forms and single teaching methods still exists widely, which leads students to think that English courses are boring and have little interest in learning. Practice has proved that interest is the best teacher to learn English. Pupils are active and playful, but they are curious and interested in new things. Therefore, teachers constantly innovate teaching forms and methods in English teaching, which can effectively condense students' attention and stimulate and maintain primary school students' interest in learning.
First, learn interesting letters.
Letter teaching is an important part of basic English teaching. If learning letters is fun and easy to learn, it will lay a good and solid foundation for future English learning. Therefore, in the stage of learning letters, we should make use of all available resources to create a situation for students to play games with letters and make friends.
Use slides when teaching new time, such as chairs turning into lowercase letters H, dumbbells turning into uppercase letters I, etc. And you can also write some children's songs to help students remember the shapes of letters. For example, the capitalized m is like a mountain, and two mountains are shoulder to shoulder; Capital n three brothers, hand in hand. This nursery rhyme implies not only the shape, but also the number of strokes. (Phonetic teaching can also use this method to help students remember pronunciation features, such as: diphthongs [AU], chubby pig is really greedy, big watermelon is placed on the table, mouth is wide open, chewing very hard, [AU], [AU]!
When practicing and practicing, you can use the following games:
1, what? S is missing? Draw a letter card and ask the students to say what they left behind.
2. Neighbors. The teacher showed a letter asking the students next to him to quickly get on the platform and stand in the corresponding position. The rest of the students can read these letters together.
Teachers or students can use their fingers, chin, elbows, feet and other body parts in the air? Write? Letters, students guess or the teacher gives instructions. Students practice writing letters in different places, such as desks, chairs, pencil boxes and floors, or write letters on each other's palms or backs at the same table and let them guess.
4. Can I play by pronunciation? Recruit? In the game, find five students with vowels as generals, and the rest of the students take refuge in the generals as ranks.
etc
In consolidating teaching, first, children's songs can be used to break through difficulties; The second is to grasp the key points through gestures. If you are teaching singing? ABC song? , can be combined with sign language accompaniment (omitted); The third is visualization to increase interest, such as showing a work that reads? Day? Ask the students to observe and say the capital letters contained in the cards, or find out the letters in some pictures. Fourth, you can guess riddles. 1- 1 is not equal to 0, (h). 1+3 is not equal to 4 or the length of an ear, (b). The bullet came out of the gun, (j). Slingshot has no rubber band, (y). Make a small appearance, (1) and so on.
Second, the presentation method of new words
The effect of students' perception and understanding of language materials depends largely on the way, method and process of teachers presenting knowledge, and the coordination between teachers and students in the cognitive process. The diversity of introduction and presentation methods plays a key role in the new English curriculum, which can be summarized as follows:
1, intuitive presentation. Including objects, cards, teaching wall charts, stick figures, slides, multimedia courseware, etc. Let students build their knowledge on the basis of sensibility, so as to learn deeply and remember firmly.
2. The way the game is presented. Using magic and other game methods to learn new words can stimulate students' positive thinking activities, arouse students' unintentional attention, turn boring teaching content into colorful game activities, and make students get twice the result with half the effort when playing middle school.
3. Body language expression. Using this demonstration method, teachers can teach easily and students can study happily. For example, when teaching verbs such as jumping, walking, sitting and standing, teachers can do actions directly, and some nouns can refer to sign language.
4, suspense, riddle presentation method. For example, when teaching fruit words, the teacher draws a circle first and asks the students. What? Students will answer this according to their own imagination. It? This is a ball. Or it? A face. ? Wait a minute. Then the teacher added a few strokes from different angles to make the circle into apples, pears, oranges and so on.
5, with the old belt new presentation. When people perceive a thing, the richer the knowledge and experience related to it, the faster and more comprehensive the perception will be. Therefore, in order to enable students to acquire new knowledge, teachers can strengthen old knowledge through various forms of exercises in the preparation stage, and impart new knowledge on the basis of reviewing old knowledge.
Third, the strain is wonderful.
It has always been the persistent pursuit of English teachers to get full applause through classroom teaching presupposition. Are you online? Goal-process-result? In the evolutionary sequence, in addition to the preset wonderful, with the development of classroom teaching activities, many unexpected wonderful things will sprout. If teachers can be good at capturing and making good use of it, then wonderful teaching moments that are beyond the preset and full of mika will be presented at any time. The following teaching cases can fully reflect this point:
1, before an open class, the teacher's courseware, tape recorder, projector and other preparations were readily available, but it happened that the power went out at this time, and the classroom was suddenly filled with helplessness. Although the courseware produced by hard work is not useful, the teacher also completed a simple and simple traditional classroom teaching with the help of teaching pictures and stick figure skills, which produced a unique taste and effect. It can be said that teachers' solid basic skills are also the basic elements to realize wonderful teaching.
2. In a classroom teaching, because a student was too short to reach the blackboard and could not finish the teaching game, the teacher picked him up and finished this group of teaching games, and the students were very excited. For this reason, the teacher was inspired to expand the related teaching games into the form of mutual help among players in the same group, which not only enhanced the friendship and cooperation consciousness among students, but also enhanced students' interest in participation, making the classroom atmosphere more harmonious and upward.
3. ever? Braid hat? In the game of girls introducing themselves, the braid hat accidentally fell into the hands of a boy. Students thought that the teacher would introduce himself to another girl, but the teacher encouraged the boys to introduce themselves in the girl's voice, which aroused students' laughter and high concern, effectively stimulated students' participation and enthusiasm in learning languages, exercised their oral ability and courage, and consolidated the memory effect.
English teaching mode in primary schools should conform to children's psychological characteristics and age characteristics, and follow the laws and contexts of foreign language learning for primary school students in China. Practice has proved that the implementation of interest teaching in primary school English can create a pleasant and relaxed teaching environment for students, which not only cultivates students' interest, but also reduces their psychological burden and promotes their English learning. Want me to learn? Where to? I want to learn? 、? I want to learn? The change of direction is of positive significance to cultivate students' interest in learning English, overcome the fear of difficulties in language learning and reduce the fear and pressure in middle school English learning.

Practice and Exploration on Improving the Effect of English Classroom Teaching in Primary Schools
Classroom is the main position of school education and the main channel for students to learn cultural knowledge, develop their intelligence and improve their ability. Teaching effect is directly related to students' academic performance and quality. Therefore, we teachers should pay attention to the improvement of classroom teaching effect. The author of this paper combines his own teaching experience, mainly from the careful preparation of lessons to ensure the smooth progress of classroom teaching; Stimulate interest and encourage students to take the initiative to learn; Pay attention to questioning skills and activate students' English thinking; Multi-dimensional integration and optimization of teaching methods and means to explore how to improve the effect of primary school English classroom teaching.
Keywords: primary school English classroom teaching effect
The arrival of the new curriculum reform has brought a fresh breath to teachers' teaching, and also put forward new requirements. How to better implement the advanced educational concepts in the new curriculum into English teaching, and strive to explore an English teaching path suitable for the requirements of the new curriculum standards, and comprehensively improve the English teaching effect is undoubtedly an important topic we are facing. After long-term thinking and practice, the author believes that the following methods can be adopted.
First, prepare lessons carefully to ensure the smooth progress of classroom teaching.
Preparing lessons carefully is the basis for the smooth progress of classroom teaching. Including preparing textbooks, preparing students and so on. The more fully prepared the lesson, the more detailed and scientific the lesson plan, and the higher the classroom teaching effect will be. So pay attention to preparing lessons. First of all, teachers should study the teaching materials deeply, master the contents of the teaching materials skillfully, make clear the key points and difficulties of a class, and arrange the teaching contents reasonably; Secondly, teachers should understand students' English knowledge level, ideological trends and acceptance ability, flexibly arrange teaching methods and do a good job in classroom control in combination with students' reality. Only in this way can the teacher be handy in class.
Second, to stimulate interest and encourage students to take the initiative to learn
Interest is the best teacher. Tolstoy said: Successful teaching needs not compulsion, but arousing students' interest. ? Primary school English is an introductory teaching, and teachers should give priority to cultivating students' interest in learning English. Therefore, teachers should adopt various methods in the teaching process to consciously cultivate students' interest in learning English, so that they are in the best learning state, eager to learn, willing to learn and good at learning.
1. Introduce stimulation. A good beginning is half the battle. Lead-in plays such a role in classroom teaching. Successful lead-in can make students interested, focused, proactive, and the quality of understanding and memory will be improved accordingly. There are many ways to import, such as song import, question import, multimedia courseware import and so on. As long as teachers combine the physical and mental characteristics of primary school students and reasonably choose the introduction method according to the teaching content, students will certainly be born. Want to know and hurry? Expect psychology and take the initiative to enter the learning state. It should be noted that teachers should avoid going too far when introducing new courses. After talking about a lot of things that have nothing to do with the theme of this class, I went around to the new theme of this class, which caused a serious waste of classroom teaching time.
This game is exciting. Primary school students are young and active, and game teaching is just in line with their physical and mental characteristics. In English teaching, teachers can arrange various game activities according to the teaching content, so that students can participate in them and master all kinds of English knowledge in the game. This can not only strengthen students' English skills, meet their psychological needs of seeking knowledge and showing themselves, but also activate students' thinking and make them participate in English learning more actively.
Third, pay attention to questioning skills and activate students' English thinking.
Students' thinking process often begins with questions. Successful questioning can stir up a thousand waves with one stone, effectively activate students' thinking and cause them to think. In teaching, teachers should pay attention to questioning skills, proceed from students' reality and adopt different methods according to teaching content. Specifically, we need to pay attention to the following points: First, ask questions clearly and clearly. The teacher should explain the questions clearly, and if necessary, make some questions colloquial so that students can hear what the teacher is asking. The second is to ask questions in time. The best time for teachers to ask questions is in front of students? What's the point? What's the point? In this way, students can solve difficulties and deepen their understanding. Third, it is not advisable to ask too many questions. If there are too many questions in a class and students are kept thinking for a long time, students will feel bored and slack, and the learning effect will be obviously reduced. Therefore, students should be given enough time to practice and discuss, and more questions should be designed to integrate questioning and practice. Fourth, the difficulty of asking questions is moderate. The teacher's questions in class should not be too simple, only the students can answer them? what's up Or? No? It shouldn't be too difficult, but we should take care of most students and ensure that students have the opportunity to participate in questions and answers. Fifth, students should be given enough time to think. Teachers should not ask students to give answers immediately after asking questions, but should give students time to think, so as to ensure students' full understanding of the questions.
Fourthly, multi-dimensional integration and optimization of teaching methods and means.
The choice of classroom teaching methods and means is the key to achieve good teaching results. In English teaching, teachers should pay attention to the choice of teaching methods and means, which should not only conform to the teaching content, but also conform to the cognitive rules and general teaching principles of primary school students learning English. We should not only use traditional teaching methods, but also make rational use of various modern teaching media.
1. Hierarchical teaching. There are individual differences among students, and their learning attitude, knowledge base and acceptance ability are different. In teaching, teachers can only proceed from students' reality, implement hierarchical teaching, and educate and guide students with methods that conform to educational laws and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development, so as to meet the different needs of different students and make everyone develop to varying degrees. Specifically, hierarchical teaching includes hierarchical teaching objectives, hierarchical teaching contents, hierarchical problems, hierarchical homework and so on. No matter which link, teachers should follow the following principles: be strict with excellent students and let them? Did you eat well? ; For middle school students, we should guide and urge them? Have a good meal? ; For students with learning difficulties, we should take the initiative to approach and remedy them in time so that they can? Can you eat? . Only in this way can every student participate in it and gain something from it.
2. Multimedia-assisted teaching. At present, multimedia technology has entered school education. Compared with traditional teaching methods, it not only has good auditory effect, but also has good visual effect. It can not only show pictures and texts, but also imitate and reproduce real images, that is, turn abstraction into images, which is full of fun, thus reducing the difficulty of understanding and breaking through the difficulties of teaching. There are some important and difficult points in the textbook. If we only rely on the teacher's explanation, it will be too abstract. Long-term intentional attention will easily make students feel tired and bored. In teaching, teachers can use multimedia courseware to make abstract words into vivid pictures to attract students' unintentional attention and keep students' intentional attention, thus helping students master the teaching content well. It should be noted that we should not blindly pursue colorful audio-visual effects in teaching, so as to ignore the teaching content. However, according to the characteristics of students and the contents of teaching materials, the audio-visual media and traditional teaching methods should be organically combined and supplemented to give full play to the advantages of audio-visual media and achieve the best teaching effect.
In a word, improving the efficiency of English classroom teaching in primary schools is a systematic project, which can never be achieved overnight. Only by proceeding from the requirements of quality education, guided by the new English curriculum standards, constantly exploring and studying new teaching concepts and methods, and constantly reflecting on their own teaching behavior, can we better improve the English teaching effect and create a new chapter in English teaching in primary schools.

Several problems in English education in primary schools
First, the necessity of English education in primary schools
Primary school is an important stage for a person to form habits, and it is also the best stage for learning a language. In primary education, it is very important to cultivate students' good English learning habits, and it is also the responsibility of every English teacher. "The necessity of English education in primary schools is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, to lay the foundation for English learning in the subsequent stage." Although English education in primary schools only involves relevant basic knowledge, it plays an important guiding role in the whole process of students' English learning. Secondly, improve the overall English level of the people. "Primary school is the stage of popularizing compulsory education. English learning can not only cultivate students' English communicative competence, but also improve the overall English level and quality of the people to a certain extent; Finally, face the future and lay the foundation for future employment. "Nowadays, English involves all fields of society, and scientific research and economic and trade work are inseparable from it."
Second, the problems in English education in primary schools
(A) backward educational concepts and methods
In English education in primary schools, some teachers still follow the traditional and backward teaching concept, take teachers as the center, ignore students' dominant position, and give cramming education to students. At the same time, influenced by exam-oriented education, some teachers take students' test scores as evaluation criteria, which ignores the true meaning of English learning. "In terms of teaching methods, some teachers just follow the book, and the teaching method is single. Students only memorize English and seriously ignore the practice of English language."
The overall quality of teachers is low.
In the process of its development, some primary schools are not equipped with professional English teachers, but let other teachers or non-English major teachers participate in English teaching. "These English teachers have limited English proficiency, poor English foundation, inaccurate pronunciation, a serious shortage of vocabulary, inaccurate knowledge of English, and poor oral and communication skills. It is difficult to correctly guide students to conduct scientific English teaching! Effective English learning "
(C) Less use of English environment
Primary school English listening under the new curriculum standard! Say! Read! Emphasize the overall improvement of writing ability. In the actual process of primary school English teaching, students just practice the English dialogue set by the teacher. Listen! It is far from enough to cultivate oral English ability only by classroom learning. The creation of English application environment is very important for the cultivation and promotion of students' various English abilities, but due to the lack of foreign teachers, students' English listening is greatly limited! Say "all-round improvement of ability"
Third, the solutions to the problems in English education in primary schools
(A) innovative English teachers' teaching ideas and teaching forms
On the one hand, in primary school English education, English teachers should update their teaching concepts, fully understand the key points of primary school English curriculum reform by attending teaching lectures and training, respect students' dominant position in English teaching, face all students, improve students' understanding of English, cultivate students' positive emotional attitude, establish students' cross-cultural awareness and enhance students' autonomous learning ability in English courses; On the other hand, we should innovate English teaching forms, master modern teaching technology, improve our own application ability of network technology, make teaching courseware independently, use advanced computer multimedia teaching methods, make full use of network resources, and use the network to communicate and learn English, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of classroom teaching. "
(B) improve the professional quality of English teachers
As English teachers, we should re-examine our own shortcomings, enhance English professional ability, improve English knowledge structure, strengthen the study of teaching theory, keep pace with the times, and master new teaching methods and principles in English education. "In daily life and teaching, we can read English magazines! Books, listening to English broadcasts and other forms, constantly absorbing new knowledge and constantly updating their English knowledge to improve their professionalism. " At the same time, relevant education departments should recruit teachers according to the different needs of school education! Course! It is necessary to comprehensively consider the deployment of personnel and the re-education of teachers, study and formulate a scientific and reasonable training plan for English teachers, organize regular training and further study for English teachers, and comprehensively improve their comprehensive quality. "
(C) through the English corner or network to broaden students' English use environment
In the process of English learning, communication is the best learning method, which can effectively cultivate students' English language sense, exercise their English learning ability and improve their interest in learning English. "Therefore, in primary school English teaching, teachers should give full play to their ability to organize teaching, broaden students' English application environment, provide students with more communication opportunities and enhance their comprehensive English application ability." In spare time, we can organize English exchange activities such as English corner, encourage primary school students to actively participate in English exchange, stimulate their interest in learning English, and exercise their English listening and speaking ability at the same time. "In addition, the school can invite foreign English teachers to give English lectures regularly or irregularly to attract students' interest in English through exchanges with students; Through online communication, students can learn more about the English environment outside the school and stimulate their curiosity about English, so as to improve their English ability better. "
Four. conclusion
With the progress of the times and the development of society, English plays an increasingly important role in people's daily life, and English education is the most important in the basic education of primary school students. "At present, the problems of English education in primary schools are increasingly exposed, and more and more people attach importance to it. In the process of English teaching in primary schools, English teachers should actively update teaching concepts, innovate teaching models, enrich teaching content, improve teaching level, and lay a solid foundation for the follow-up English learning of primary school students. "
