Lead: If information technology is applied to English teaching, there will be more humanized English curriculum resources, which can really break the traditional English teaching mode centered on textbooks. The following is my carefully arranged paper on the application of information technology in English teaching, hoping to help everyone.
The application of information technology in English teaching is not only to impart knowledge to students, but also to help students reconstruct and create knowledge on the premise of using information-based learning environment and resources. In English teaching, the fundamental goal and measure of applying information technology is to see whether it can effectively improve the learning situation, improve learning efficiency, achieve the expected effect of the course and promote the development of students. Therefore, it is emphasized that information technology should serve the curriculum in English teaching; It is emphasized that the starting point of applying information technology should be teaching, not technology. Emphasize that information technology can improve the learning effect, and enable students to accomplish things that cannot be done by other methods.
First, the application of information technology to reconstruct the teaching model
The goal of applying information technology to English teaching is to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability and promote the fundamental change of English teaching methods. It includes three elements: first, English teaching activities should be carried out in an information environment based on multimedia. Secondly, the information processing of English teaching content has become a learning resource for students. Thirdly, use information processing tools to reconstruct students' knowledge. The application of information technology in English teaching is a change in teaching ideas and concepts.
This is because knowledge is not only acquired by teachers, but also by students in a certain social and cultural background, with the help of teachers and classmates, using necessary learning materials and through the way of meaning construction. In addition, we should also advocate student-centered learning under the guidance of teachers, that is to say, we can't just emphasize the cognitive role of students and ignore the guiding role of teachers. Learning emphasizes students' learning process. In the teaching process, students are active explorers, and the role of teachers is to create an environment for students to explore independently, rather than providing ready-made knowledge.
Second, the application of information technology to innovate teaching methods
English courses should strive to make rational use of and actively develop curriculum resources to provide students with healthy and rich curriculum resources that are close to students' reality, life and the times; We should actively use rich teaching resources such as audio-visual, television, newspapers, and online information to expand the channels of English learning; Actively encourage and support students to participate in the development and utilization of curriculum resources.
With the development of information technology, English curriculum resources are becoming more and more multimedia and networked. The application of information technology can change the content of teaching from static to dynamic, from abstract to image, from far and near, from the past to the present, so that the course learning can be integrated with sound, image, text, video and animation, which greatly stimulates students' various senses and improves learning efficiency.
Especially in the era of rapid network development, we can use more extensive English resources for teaching. For example, students can be guided to learn independently by visiting various English learning websites, reading e-books and visiting virtual libraries. You can also communicate with Chinese and foreign students by running electronic blackboard newspapers and making personal English web pages. If information technology is applied to English teaching, there will be more humanized English curriculum resources, which can really break the traditional textbook-centered English teaching model.
Third, the application of information technology to change the teaching concept
If teachers' inherent teaching views and concepts remain unchanged, teachers will regard computers as accessories of traditional teaching methods, unable to exert their unique potential, and can only use them for demonstration or practice. Specifically, there will be four major changes: First, the role of teachers will change, and teachers will change from imparting knowledge to guiding students' learning and directing students' activities.
Secondly, the status of students has changed. Students should change from passive listeners to active participants. Thirdly, the role of multimedia has changed, from a teacher's demonstration tool to a student's cognitive tool. Finally, the change of teaching process, from the traditional teaching process of logical analysis to the cognitive process of allowing students to acquire knowledge and cultivate their abilities by discovering and exploring problems.
Fourthly, apply information technology to change learning strategies.
Learning strategies refer to various steps that students take in order to learn and develop effectively. English learning strategies mainly include cognitive strategies, adjustment strategies, communication strategies and resource strategies. Teachers can guide students to make full use of network resources, such as using pictures, charts, images and other non-verbal information on the network to understand and express, and improve cognitive methods. In terms of control strategies, students can be trained to consciously control the whole learning process. For example, searching for information on the Internet, using remote databases and documents, communicating with students online, obtaining online consultation and online support.
Learners complete their learning goals by solving problems, and gradually master effective ways and methods of information retrieval, evaluation and management in this process, thus improving control strategies. In terms of communication strategies, students can be encouraged to communicate with other teachers and students online to improve their English communication level. In terms of resource strategy, teachers can also tell them some English learning websites to expand their resource range and let students feel the happiness of self-acquisition and self-development.
