Classroom is the main position for teachers to carry out teaching activities and the main way for students to acquire knowledge. Improving the effectiveness of classroom teaching is the goal that every teacher pursues tirelessly. The effectiveness of classroom teaching refers to the all-round development of all students through classroom teaching. In actual English teaching, there are still many ineffective or inefficient teaching behaviors in classroom teaching. Therefore, every English teacher should keep thinking, consciously pay attention to his own teaching behavior, pay attention to the improvement of students' knowledge level and the development of their abilities, and achieve effective classroom teaching results.

First, the concept of effective teaching

Theoretically speaking, effective teaching is a very representative teaching theory in the 20th century, which can also be called a teaching concept. Any teaching activity that can effectively promote students' development and achieve the expected teaching effect can be called "effective teaching". Generally speaking, effective teaching is a teaching activity in which teachers use scientific methods and means to effectively achieve teaching objectives. Specifically, it contains three meanings: first, effectiveness: it refers to the evaluation of the conformity between the results of teaching activities and the expected teaching objectives, which is measured by the investigation of the results of students' learning activities; Second, efficiency: teaching efficiency = teaching output (effect)/teaching input, or teaching efficiency = effective teaching time/actual teaching time *100%; The third is beneficial: it refers to the income of teaching activities and the realization of the value of teaching activities.

The effectiveness of classroom teaching refers to the promotion of students' development through classroom teaching activities, that is, students gain, improve and progress in their studies. The so-called "effectiveness" mainly refers to the concrete progress or development made by students after a period of teaching by teachers. Whether teaching is effective does not depend on whether the teacher has finished teaching the content, but on whether the students have learned anything or whether the students have learned well. If students don't want to learn or can't learn anything, even if the teacher tries hard, it will be ineffective. Similarly, if students study hard but don't get due development, it is also ineffective or inefficient teaching.

Second, measures to improve the effectiveness of English classroom teaching

1. Teachers should be aware of classroom benefits.

In classroom teaching, teachers must firmly grasp the four teaching elements of "good guidance", "stimulating interest", "guiding thinking" and "precise teaching" and give full play to their leading position in the classroom. Teachers should gradually shift their focus from students' "teaching" to "learning". In the teaching process, teachers should pay attention to the coordination and unity of teachers' leading role and students' main role, respect students' main position, stimulate students' main consciousness, put research and guidance on students' learning methods in a very important position, pay attention to cultivating students' ability of active learning and autonomous learning, let students explore and develop independently, gradually guide students to master the iterative method of autonomous learning, cultivate the habit of autonomous learning, and truly achieve the goal of "seeking more happiness for themselves". In order to improve learning efficiency.

2. Establish a harmonious relationship between teachers and students and create an effective learning atmosphere.

Rogers said: "Successful education depends on sincere understanding and trust between teachers and students, and on a harmonious and safe classroom atmosphere." In the process of English classroom teaching, creating a relaxed and harmonious classroom teaching atmosphere can make students have a good psychological effect, make students in a positive emotional state and make students study actively and happily. Harmonious teacher-student relationship helps to create a harmonious classroom atmosphere, which requires teachers to make positive efforts subjectively. Teachers should mingle with students, understand their psychological characteristics, care about their study and physical and mental health, understand their difficulties in learning English, respect students' ideas, and be good at inspiring them, especially the underachievers. Teachers should be careful not to give up their efforts. Teachers should try to find their bright spots, encourage them and help them build up confidence; Introduce them to some books on learning methods, teach them some exercise methods and improve their brain memory.

3. Teachers should get timely and effective feedback in English class.

The ultimate goal of teaching activities is to effectively promote the development of students. Then, we can't teach according to our own concept of "teaching", but should teach according to the law of students' "learning". That is, students should "learn how" and we should "teach how". Therefore, in teaching design, students' existing knowledge and experience should be fully respected, and the teaching plans designed by teachers should conform to the actual situation of students, and the fact that students already have "existing knowledge, experience and thinking method foundation" should be seriously considered. This foundation of students is related to the arrangement order of teaching materials, but it is more related to students' own learning level and living environment. According to this characteristic, the teaching method is determined to achieve the unity of teaching and learning.

For example, in the actual classroom teaching process, teachers and textbooks may provide knowledge that students have never experienced. It is necessary to review before class and summarize in class effectively. In order to effectively improve the efficiency of English classroom teaching, teachers can also formulate a scientific, operable and inspiring evaluation system for English learning effect, keep abreast of students' lectures, homework and notes, and keep abreast of students' learning and review status, so as to make targeted adjustments in the classroom teaching process.

4. Cultivate students' autonomous learning ability

English textbooks for middle schools have a wide range of contents, strong times and close to students' lives, including literature, sports, entertainment, science and technology, history and many other topics. Not only pay attention to social needs, but also meet the development needs of different students. Most students lack good learning methods and autonomous learning consciousness. Classroom teaching is the main position for students to learn. In the usual classroom teaching, our teachers should renew their ideas and change the traditional practice of emphasizing the inculcation of English knowledge while ignoring the cultivation of students' awareness of autonomous learning. Students' weak awareness of autonomous learning will affect the effect of English learning. Therefore, teachers should guide students to take the initiative to learn, help students to form a learning style with the goal of ability development, encourage students to cultivate their autonomous learning ability through experience, practice, discussion, cooperation and inquiry, give full play to their learning potential, and develop their comprehensive skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

5. Rational use of group cooperation to improve effective teaching participation.

English class is a language class, not a training class. A lot of knowledge mastery and ability cultivation are not "taught" by teachers, but "practiced" by students. The use of group cooperation activities can speed up the pace of teaching and strengthen the density and breadth of training. In the classroom, teachers can let students practice rhythmically through quick response and "pairbypair". In this way, no matter whether the students' grades are good or bad, they can participate. Students are dominated by a positive emotion in their activities, which will greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for participating in classroom teaching and arouse their enthusiasm. The teacher-centered classroom teaching mode will be transformed into student-centered, and students will become the main body of teaching. They communicate with each other in a natural language environment to achieve the purpose of language learning.

6. Teaching reflection

Teaching reflection means that teachers consciously take their own classroom teaching practice as the object of understanding, conduct comprehensive and in-depth calm thinking and summary, so as to enter a more optimized teaching state and enable students to develop more fully. Teaching reflection is a beneficial thinking activity and re-learning activity. After a class, there are always successes and failures. Teachers can record their deep feelings in the teaching process and good practices to achieve the expected results in time, so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and strive for Excellence; For those unsatisfactory places, it is necessary to analyze the reasons and find solutions to the problems. Record these successes and failures in time, make a choice, and make it a guide and reference for future teaching.

In a word, effective classroom, as an idea, is a value pursuit and a teaching practice mode. In the future classroom teaching, it will cause us to think more and pay more attention. We should study "effective classroom teaching" in a down-to-earth manner, proceed from students' reality and the goal of quality education, and rationally apply cybernetics principles to make our classroom teaching based on effectiveness.
