To embody the humanistic spirit in English teaching, it is necessary to cultivate students' concept of self-realization, respect students' dignity, value orientation, needs, wishes, beliefs and confused will, develop students' personality, potential, creativity and ability, and make students become all-round people with both ability and political integrity. English teaching should not only impart solid knowledge of English language, but also pay attention to the cultivation of students' humanistic quality.
First of all, the breakthrough point of cultivating students' humanistic quality is the change of teachers' role.
The essence of education is to teach and educate people, and to develop students from a natural person into a social person, that is, a complete person with humanistic quality in socialist construction. Obviously, humanistic spirit is an indispensable part of English education. Teachers should have a new orientation in teaching concepts and a new change in their roles.
With the introduction of new curriculum standards, we compare teachers to the sun. "Sun-style" teachers, because of their full lives, can give generously to make students healthy and energetic. Teachers' work is not only a technology, but also an art, so there must be some room for innovation. Students' souls should not be shaped, but should be awakened, inspired and sublimated.
With the computer, multimedia and network penetrating into all aspects of teaching more and more widely, the concept of education and the role and function of teachers have a new connotation accordingly. Faced with abundant educational resources, teachers are no longer the only source of knowledge. Teachers have changed from "preaching and teaching to dispel doubts" to "guiding and promoting students' learning", that is, guiding students to learn to learn and inspiring students to think positively. Teachers should be close to students' inner world, pay attention to cultivating students' personality, and let students feel happy in their studies.
Teachers should pay attention to the improvement of their own quality, renew their ideas, be willing to accept new things and challenges, and use scientific art teaching methods. English teachers must have the following qualities:
(1) Professional quality: having lofty professional ideals and ethics, correct outlook on life and values, noble personality, good personal cultivation and strong self-discipline. Never tire of learning, never tire of teaching, and set an example for students in all aspects.
(2) Professional quality: having solid teaching basic skills and reasonable knowledge structure. That is, the ability of language expression, classroom organization and teaching, the ability to handle teaching materials and properly use teaching methods, the ability to use multimedia teaching methods, the ability to guide learning methods and the ability to evaluate students' learning situation; Profound professional knowledge, extensive related knowledge, considerable teaching and research ability, strong self-study ability, etc.
(3) Physical and mental quality: should have a sound physique, physical and mental health, full of vitality, can adapt to heavy teaching and scientific research work; You should have strong psychological adaptability and adjustment ability to keep yourself in a good physical and mental state at all times.
Second, the focus of cultivating students' humanistic quality is to create a good classroom atmosphere.
As a communicative language, English classroom teaching urgently needs a good atmosphere, so that both teachers and students can form an atmosphere conducive to teaching activities in a harmonious environment. This process should be equal communication and cooperation between teachers and students.
Good teacher-student relationship is the basic guarantee for teachers and students to meet teaching needs, coordinate teaching activities and achieve teaching goals. It is a direct factor to form a unrestrained and harmonious classroom atmosphere and stimulate students' high learning mood. It can not only arouse students' trust and respect for teachers, but also make students transfer their love for teachers to the subjects they teach. It is called "being close to his teacher and believing in his way". It is necessary to create a consultative teaching atmosphere.
A. Class introduction
The beginning of a class, just like meeting people, is a process of establishing and exchanging feelings through greeting each other. Therefore, it is necessary to advocate singing and reading instead of the traditional greetings between teachers and students, which is conducive to the harmonious relationship between teachers and students and to attracting students into English classes. For example, after the bell rings, I will sing a standing song: one, two, three, four, five. One two three four five. Stand up, clap your hands, clap your hands. Point to the window, point to the door, point to the ceiling and point to the floor. Then sing a hello song: good morning/afternoon, good morning/afternoon, nice to meet you. Good morning/afternoon, good morning/afternoon, I wish you and you. Hello, teacher. Hello, friends. Good morning/after noon, good morning/after noon, I wish you and you. In this way, teachers and students enter the formal classroom in a harmonious atmosphere.
B. Pay attention to the way you ask questions.
Questioning is an indispensable part of classroom teaching, and the art of classroom questioning is an important factor for the success of teaching. Teachers should be able to stimulate students' interest in questions, which reflects teachers' ardent expectations of students. If you are studying Unit 3 of People's Education Edition 6, what are you going to do? The teacher can ask: What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to walk on the moon? Students' thinking will be very active and the discussion will begin soon. In addition, when students answer questions, whether sitting or standing, there is no need to unify requirements, and everything is better to let students relax and eliminate tension.
C. entertaining and entertaining.
Through activities such as singing, reciting and performing short plays, a colorful English paradise will be established, so that students can learn English in listening, speaking, writing, drawing, singing and dancing, and everyone will have the opportunity to show themselves and experience the joy of success. Where is the science museum? Let the students play the role of policemen and hold small flags to help them find a place.
Thirdly, the new perspective of cultivating students' humanistic quality is formative evaluation.
Formative evaluation, also known as process evaluation, is to evaluate students' performance, achievements and the development of their emotions, attitudes and strategies in their daily study. Its remarkable feature is to make students change from passive acceptance of evaluation to the subject and participant of evaluation, highlight the role of self-evaluation and mutual evaluation, motivate students, enhance confidence, and thus cultivate the ability of independent learning.
Self-assessment requires students to actively participate in the assessment of all aspects of their foreign language learning: the awareness and degree of participation in classroom learning; Cooperation spirit with classmates; Interest and attitude towards foreign language learning; Learning methods and strategies; Complete the homework assigned by the teacher with high quality and efficiency; Problems exposed in daily study, etc.
Mutual evaluation puts forward higher requirements for students. On the one hand, it makes them stand at a certain height and evaluate their classmates objectively and fairly; On the other hand, we can give full play to students' main role, evaluate teachers objectively and to the point, and put forward our own expectations and requirements in time.
Through a series of evaluation activities, students have strengthened their learning ability, improved their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, enhanced their sense of learning responsibility, laid the foundation for the cultivation of autonomous learning ability and enhanced their ability to understand others.
Middle school students learn to respect others, respect themselves, understand and appreciate others in evaluation, and can make a more accurate and fair evaluation of others. Evaluation can really stimulate students' desire of "I want to learn" and embody the humanistic spirit of people-oriented.
In a word, humanistic spirit is embodied in the whole process of English teaching. The main position of cultivating humanistic quality is the classroom. English classroom teaching should embody humanistic spirit. In the process of mastering the use of language, students also feel the influence of humanistic spirit imperceptibly, and their personality is fully exerted. At the same time, innovative spirit, emotion, potential and practical ability have also been developed. Students not only mastered English, but also cultivated correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, carried forward the spirit of patriotism and collectivism, loved learning and inherited the fine traditions of the nation. Only when English learning and humanistic quality training are organically integrated and developed harmoniously can students be trained into complete people with cognitive ability, learning ability, learning ability to live together and learning ability to survive.
