Keywords: motivational language strategy, body language
Homlinski once said: "A teacher's unintentional words may make or break a genius." It can be seen that teachers' motivation is very important for cultivating students' self-confidence and stimulating students' interest in learning. Emotional teaching can make students enjoy learning. Teachers' motivational language is particularly important in the classroom. However, teachers should not only be good at using inspiring language, but also be full of inspiring emotions, that is, rich body language, approving nods, admiring eyes, praising gestures and knowing smiles, which will make students learn happily.
First, the role of motivational language
1 inspirational language improves the relationship between teachers and students. In the past, teachers were "policemen or judges", the classroom atmosphere was tense, the relationship between teachers and students was not harmonious, and students lacked enthusiasm for learning. However, in the actual teaching process, we found that 92% of students want to be inspired by the teacher's language, and after being inspired by the teacher's language, they are willing to follow the teacher's activities. How well you answered! Your analysis is so correct, I'll make you a little teacher next time! This is an affirmation of students. Students are recognized, so they admire teachers. When students make mistakes, teachers' kind criticism will also bring students hope for success. Your answer is close to the correct answer, but you should think it over! Only when teachers respect students' personality can there be democracy, equality and harmony between teachers and students. If students like this teacher, they will listen carefully and this class will be efficient.
2. Appropriate language motivation can make students learn actively. Teachers motivate students in time, and the relationship between teachers and students is harmonious, which can enhance students' learning confidence and stimulate their learning motivation. It's amazing that you can answer such a difficult question! You have talked about it several times in this class. You are good at thinking! Students are full of self-confidence and will actively complete the tasks assigned by teachers. Once, I put forward a difficult learning task in class and summed up the sentence pattern of It's+ad. +fr sb。 Something. From several examples. In the first class, without timely language encouragement, 79% of the students were indifferent and their participation enthusiasm was not high. Then in another class, with my encouragement, the students helped each other and found the answer to the question. It can be seen that language motivation plays a great role in students' learning attitude and mutual cooperation.
Second, teachers' language motivation strategies
1 Use motivation language appropriately. The purpose of teachers' motivating students is to encourage students to learn and improve classroom efficiency. Teachers can play a great role by grasping the opportunity and giving appropriate incentives. However, if the motivation is too much and too casual, it will be pale and powerless, which will not only destroy the good classroom atmosphere, but also make students question the teacher.
2. Seize the opportunity of education and motivate in time. In order to get twice the result with half the effort, teachers should learn to seize the opportunity of education. Therefore, in class, teachers should use the magnifying glass in their hearts to patiently and carefully discover the bright spots in students. When students want to show themselves but are tied behind them, teachers can use language encouragement in time to let students show themselves confidently.
3 incentives should be geared to the needs of all people and pay attention to differences. In class, teachers should not be too partial to students with good grades, and motivation is not the patent of individual students. Students who are average or temporarily backward need more attention and affirmation from teachers, and some kind of motivation may become a big turning point in their study. At the same time, teaching should be done in accordance with their aptitude, and evaluation should also be done in accordance with their aptitude. Motivation varies from person to person. Inappropriate incentives will make students think that the teacher is sarcastic and reduce the prestige of the teacher, which is counterproductive.
Third, the encouragement of teachers' body language.
In class, teachers should not only use language, but also use certain body movements to express their meaning. The more excellent a teacher is, the more attention should be paid to his words and deeds. Because students pay attention to the teacher's words and deeds, and are full of expectations, expecting the teacher's praise. Therefore, excellent teachers should be good at conveying expectations and emotions with language, gestures, eyes and smiles.
1 The Power of Smiling Teachers should serve students with a good image when preaching, teaching and solving doubts, and should not be unsmiling and frowning. Only "smile service" can embody "humanized" education. From then on, I brought a smile into the classroom, making students feel that learning English is a pleasure rather than a burden. If the students answer the questions correctly in class, I will immediately give affirmation and praise; If the answer is wrong, encourage them with a smile so that they don't feel discouraged, and then encourage them to work harder!
2 Gestures and eyes full of encouragement When students behave well in class, the teacher gives them a thumbs-up or gives them a favorable look, and they can deeply appreciate the teacher's encouragement. Teachers treat students as friends and bend over to talk to them, which will make them trust and like teachers more, and thus like English. When the students encounter difficulties, the teacher looks at the students with cordial and expectant eyes and nods gently with a smile to show encouragement; If the students who don't obey the discipline are easy to break the harmonious atmosphere by naming and criticizing, they might as well approach the students, quietly stop them with their eyes and encourage them to make reflections that the teacher expects.
Motivation is based on respect. In the past, students were not fully respected, which led to poor learning initiative and low classroom efficiency. However, in the modern teacher-student relationship, the teacher-student relationship is equal. Teachers fully respect students' individuality and personality through various incentives, so that students are willing to learn and enjoy learning. Adults still need encouragement and praise, not to mention students. Let our teachers appreciate and encourage students attentively and generously, and let our students fall in love with learning.
