Through research and teaching practice, I gradually realize that in primary school English teaching, teachers should not only instill isolated words and sentence patterns into students to remember, but also let them apply what they have learned, practice and master the ability of language use. In order to achieve this goal, teachers should actively use the means of creating classroom situations to stimulate students' interest in learning and improve their learning effect. By showing students familiar pictures, the distance between English language and real life can be narrowed, so that students can realize that there is no distance between English learning and real life, thus eliminating psychological barriers and actively participating in English learning.
First, what is situational teaching?
Situation is the unity of "emotion" and "environment". Situational teaching refers to creating a scene or atmosphere suitable for the teaching content in order to achieve the established teaching purpose in the teaching process, so as to arouse students' emotional experience, help students understand the teaching materials quickly and correctly, and promote the comprehensive and harmonious development of their psychological functions.
Situational teaching method is widely welcomed by teachers and students because it can create a language situation close to life. As the boss of ladder English in America said, "Let children immerse themselves in the atmosphere of English, there is nothing that can't learn English well."
Second, why should we use situational creation in English teaching in primary schools?
English is a language, not common sense. Without a certain situation, it is difficult for language to express itself properly and to play its essential role in communication activities. English is different from Chinese. For new students, what appears in the textbook is just a cold symbol. In order to turn the text in the textbook into students' own language, teachers must create various situations in meaningful communication activities and cultivate students' language application ability. Through communicative activities, teachers infiltrate students with the true feelings and passions contained in the language, so that students can feel the charm of the language, which can stimulate their enthusiasm for learning and their thirst for knowledge.
1. Situational creation in English teaching is an inevitable requirement for pupils' psychological and cognitive development. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator, said: "The art of teaching lies in trying to arouse students' interest. If they are interested, they will be willing to go all out to do things. "In view of the characteristics of primary school students' sensitive hearing, good imitation, lively thinking about specific images and relatively short duration of intentional attention, teachers should use various means to create intuitive situations in English classes, enrich teaching contents and forms by using multimedia technology, stimulate students' interest in learning, and make them" learn "at the same time.
2. Situational creation in English teaching is an effective means to improve students' communicative competence. Bloom said: "Successful foreign language classroom teaching should create more situations in the classroom, so that students have the opportunity to use the language materials they have learned." First of all, it must be clear that the purpose of learning a language is for daily communication and use. Communicative competence includes four language abilities (listening, speaking, reading and writing). As far as English teaching in primary schools is concerned, students form the ability to use English through training in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Secondly, we should understand that the acquisition of language use ability can not be separated from teachers' classroom teaching. Teachers infect students with "emotion" and cultivate students with "context", so that students can feel the charm of language and enjoy learning and speaking. Learning is life. If we can create life-oriented situations for students in the classroom, we will cultivate social people who understand life and can communicate.
3. Situational creation in English teaching is an effective way to improve teachers' ability and quality. Teachers should design teaching according to the characteristics of different teaching contents and teaching objects, which is "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude". Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is an important part of situational teaching. Its importance to students is highly valued, but its importance to the growth of another teaching subject is often ignored. Teachers accumulate teaching practice in the process of educating different students and dealing with different teaching contents, which can transform the original thin theoretical knowledge into three-dimensional cognition after integrating theory with practice, which is also an improvement for teachers.
Thirdly, how to enrich the means of creating situations in English teaching.
In English teaching, teachers should do everything possible to create vivid, vivid and interesting teaching situations, develop students' subjectivity, and try to avoid using the same situation creation method for continuous teaching content. According to the teaching practice, I summarized the following points.
1. You can make more use of objects, models, pictures and multimedia to create an intuitive and vivid situation.
For example, when teaching in class, I ask students to point to the things around them, read the words chair, desk and teacher one by one, make good use of the objects around them, and combine abstract sounds with images. When I am teaching students to say hello, I use multimedia resources to vividly present "Hello!" With animation. "Good morning. How are you? " Scene to help students understand. In the practice stage, many students' favorite cartoon images were displayed, and the students practiced "Hello!" Many times of consternation. , "Good morning. How are you? " . They can't wait to greet those characters in the language they have learned, and the effective situation fully mobilized their enthusiasm for learning.
You can use games and role-playing to create real life scenes.
If you are teaching "What time is it?" In this content, I designed a game that children often play, "Wolf is coming, what time is it?" . first
