Reflections on English teaching in senior high schools 1 In daily English teaching, many teachers often encounter such confusion: one class thinks that adequate preparation and thorough knowledge explanation should have a good teaching effect, but in fact? Students are listless and lack interest, and the teaching effect is poor. There are three main reasons: First, it is scientifically proved that students' attention can not be highly concentrated continuously, and if the classroom is boring, it will easily lead to students' distraction. Second, the teacher told a class from beginning to end that students had no chance to participate, which led to students' indifference. Third, the teacher didn't use all kinds of effective teaching methods to arouse students' enthusiasm.
In order to solve the above problems, I adopt a new teaching method-classroom life, that is, under the guidance of the new curriculum standards, teachers should strive to create a vivid and real language environment, form the enthusiasm of using English in a dynamic and real environment, and let life enter the classroom.
In an effective English class, the teacher plays the role of a guide. The owner of the classroom is a student. In class, teachers' full-time irrigation will lead to students' laziness. In order to make the class effective, students must be diligent-move. Manual: take notes frequently; Eye movement: follow the teacher; Ear movement: listen carefully; Brain movement: think hard. Only when students think and practice in person can they bring the greatest benefits. Our teacher should guide the students to move.
Effective English classroom can not be separated from teachers' active mobilization. Teachers' high emotions, teachers' encouragement and appreciation can well mobilize students' learning enthusiasm, which is also an indispensable factor in effective classroom. In an effective English class, children's reading voice is indispensable. The ultimate goal of language learning is language output. The memory of language is inseparable from reading aloud. Read a book a hundred times and you will understand what you mean. Effective English classes should also give students time to think. Of course, effective English classroom teaching also includes many other aspects:
First, preparation before class is very important.
In the teaching process, the guidance of teachers is very important. Teachers must give effective guidance, set teaching objectives, pay attention to difficulties and spend more time studying students and textbooks. Give full play to their enthusiasm, not just let students show the content of the course. In the process of teaching, I found that students will be very active if I guide them well. They not only trained a certain skill, but also learned the key points and difficulties. However, if I don't fully prepare lessons, or the guidance doesn't conform to the students' reality, the classroom effect will be very poor and I can't mobilize the whole class to participate.
Second, asking questions in class should be enlightening.
Teachers' classroom questions must be enlightening, which can help students find problems and sum up the rules. In terms of content, we should combine important and difficult points to help students deepen their impressions, solve problems and improve classroom efficiency. It is necessary to set questions at the growing point of teaching and expand students' divergent thinking. Formally, we should create scenes to attract students' attention and stimulate their thirst for knowledge.
3. Training should be less routine training and more problem solving.
Classroom material selection training should be combined with students' reality. To select, develop, collect and create practical problem scenarios to serve teaching, we can achieve the purpose of training difficult points through games, dialogues and stories, so as to further stimulate students' interest and achieve the purpose of efficient teaching.
In addition, to improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching, the requirements for teachers themselves are also quite high. We must improve teachers' own quality and give full play to their leading role. We should understand students and give full play to their main role; We should deal with teaching materials flexibly and innovate teaching materials; Attention must be paid to the ideological education of students.
1. Improve teachers' own quality and give full play to teachers' leading role.
First of all, teachers should have passion. Passion and poetry, giving everything and wisdom to teach and educate people should be the motto of every English teacher.
Secondly, teachers should have a sense of humor. Proper use of humor can shorten the distance between teachers and students, thus stimulating students' interest in learning, promoting students' participation and improving classroom teaching efficiency. In this way, some abstract and complicated teaching contents can be expressed in vivid forms and good teaching results can be achieved.
Third, teachers should be able to listen. Listen to the voices of peers; Listen to the children's voices; Listen to your voice.
Fourth, teachers should be wise. The language is concise, clear and flexible. Grasp the students' interest in learning and the breakthrough point of English knowledge learning, create a scene suitable for knowledge learning, so that English classroom teaching will always be fresh and students will not be aware of the teacher's traces.
Fifth, teachers should be able to praise. Grasp the students' bright spots in time, praise them with appropriate language, and let them have a positive and happy psychology.
2. To understand students, we should give full play to their main role.
Maintain students' interest in learning when teaching new classes. This course gives full play to students' main role in classroom teaching, takes students' practical activities as the main line, takes group activities as the main way of student activities, faces all students and requires all students to complete given tasks through activities. The new curriculum requires that language input is more important than language output. Language should be practiced repeatedly in "learning with methods", combining "acquisition" with "learning with methods" and adopting various methods to keep students in a positive thinking state and interest in learning.
3. We should deal with teaching materials flexibly and innovate teaching materials.
Carry out student-centered activities. This course creates a real language environment, organizes classroom activities by using pictures, students' performances and multimedia courseware, creatively uses teaching materials, and appropriately supplements and adjusts the teaching content to make it realistic, interesting and challenging. Let English classroom teaching be full of authenticity, interest, intuition, visualization and effectiveness, systematize scattered knowledge, exchange book knowledge and make classroom activities come alive.
4. Pay attention to the ideological education of students.
Infiltrating moral education in English teaching is the requirement of quality education for English educators, so as to learn English knowledge well, develop excellent moral quality and realize the purpose of educating people. The new English textbooks are ideological and educational. In actual teaching, I usually carry out various activities to help students better master English knowledge, develop good study habits and further consolidate students' ideological and moral education with rich teaching methods.
These are my thoughts on improving the effectiveness of English classroom teaching. Any teaching activity should focus on quality education. It is an important task for English teaching to implement quality education and cultivate all-round talents to meet the needs of the times. Only by continuous reflection can we really improve the effectiveness of English classroom teaching.
Reflections on English teaching in senior high schools II. The textbooks used in English teaching in senior high schools are all new textbooks after the curriculum reform, which has higher requirements for us. After repeatedly trying to figure out the textbooks and trying to learn from experienced teachers, we have more reflections on English teaching in senior high schools.
One reflection: The application of multimedia and Internet has brought new challenges to English teaching.
When we are still struggling to correct students' homework, when we are still struggling to look up the dictionary and write lesson plans, we have never seen Kingsoft find English words so easily and automatically give pronunciation, Chinese and English example sentences, synonyms and antonyms; We have never seen "Word" edit an article so brilliantly. It can automatically find out English spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes and help to correct them automatically. After you finish writing an English composition, you can automatically calculate the number of words for you and automatically show your composition level; We have never seen such rich English listening teaching functions on Listening Overlord, and many of our English teachers have never seen so many English teaching websites and such rich English teaching materials online. Do you want to write a paper? Do you want to find examples of lesson plans? Do you want to know the new trend of English teaching? Do you want to know English classroom teaching games? These can be easily found on the internet.
It is conceivable that the arrival of the information age poses a challenge to our foreign language teachers. The popularity of the Internet around the world makes online English an extremely important part of modern English. It is a grim reality that English teachers are backward in concept, outdated in knowledge and outdated in teaching methods.
The second reflection: an important objective reason for the low efficiency of foreign language learning
When it comes to the actual effect of English teaching, our English teacher has a deep understanding. Children in cities of China, especially in villages and towns, often start to learn English from primary school to university. They have studied English for nearly ten years, but in the end most of them have little effect. What is the reason? Perhaps a very important reason is that English can only be regarded as a foreign language in China, not a second language. This is a problem that has long been ignored by primary and secondary school teachers in China.
Foreign language teaching is completely different from second language teaching, and China students' foreign language learning also has its own characteristics. We have to ask: Although with the deepening of reform and opening up, China has more and more contacts with the world and English is more and more widely used, how many of our students are really interested in foreign languages and have strong self-motivation; Although they have 4-6 foreign language classes every week, the total adds up to 4-5 hours. Is this time enough for foreign language contact? In a 40-minute English class, how much time does the teacher spend teaching foreign languages and how much time does the students have to speak foreign languages? How many students have a foreign language environment in their families, how many parents know foreign languages, and how many students have active or passive exposure to foreign languages in their spare time? Students in junior high school and senior high school only learn a dozen English textbooks, but how many do they read after class? We can see some very successful foreign language teaching observation classes. In these observation classes, English teachers and students cooperate seamlessly, and listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises are available. In addition, recitation, short plays and multimedia demonstrations excite teachers and audiences. However, how many such classes are there in foreign language teaching for 365 days a year? This account should be clear to front-line teachers engaged in English teaching. After all, most of our English teaching in primary and secondary schools is still turning with the baton of the entrance examination, and we can't jump out of the "exam-oriented education" model.
Reflection 3: English teachers urgently need to update their concepts and learn to use modern means to teach.
The school is the base for training "trans-century talents" and "compound talents". "Cross-century talents" refer to people who know both foreign languages and computer operations. "Compound talents" refers to people who know foreign languages, can use computers and have the spirit of pioneering and innovation. Students can look up new words and problems in their study at any time on the computer. All these electronic dictionaries are easy to find and can be copied into the files you need. Some dictionaries also provide pronunciation guidance and tests to help students remember more words in a short time.
With the popularization and use of computers, every student's knowledge source has undergone a qualitative change. It turns out that students' knowledge mainly comes from classrooms, teachers and books, and computers connect students with the world information knowledge base.
Reflections on English teaching in senior high schools. 20xx The English Curriculum Standard for Full-time Compulsory Education in Senior High Schools issued by the Ministry of Education in February puts forward that the development of students is the starting point and destination of English curriculum. With the goal of cultivating students' comprehensive language use ability, we strive to carry out major reforms in teaching concepts, goals, objectives, contents, implementation strategies, means and evaluation. The new curriculum standard highlights the people-oriented educational thought, the core of which is student-centered and student-development-oriented, which is the unity of students' all-round development and personality differences. Facing the educational reform and the implementation of new curriculum standards, teachers should make corresponding role changes to cope with the development and changes of social situation. Teachers should first update their educational concepts and strive to create a new relationship between teachers and students under the new curriculum standards to meet the requirements of English education in the new era.
First, face all students and lay a foundation for their lifelong development.
The education and teaching of English courses in senior high schools should be geared to all students, with special emphasis on cultivating students' ability to acquire, process and transmit information in English, to cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve problems, and to think and express in English. English teachers should be good at encouraging students to develop comprehensive language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing through experience, practice, discussion, cooperation and inquiry, with special emphasis on allowing students to use English properly in various activities and interactions. Because of the differences in students' existing language abilities and learning styles, teachers should fully consider the physiological and psychological characteristics of different students. Only by respecting students' differences and meeting different learning needs of different students can we truly realize the teaching goal of facing all students and laying the foundation for their lifelong development.
Second, pay attention to students' emotions and create a relaxed, democratic and harmonious teaching atmosphere.
The new curriculum standard emphasizes the humanity of teaching content, and requires teachers to respect students, establish equal consciousness and establish equal teacher-student relationship. High school students have their own personalities and ideas, which requires teachers to change their ideas, reposition their roles, step down from the authoritative position and go among the students, just as American educator Dole said: the position of teachers in the relationship between teachers and students is equality first. The outstanding humanistic characteristics of the new curriculum standards require teachers to respect students' personality, respect their personality development and create a harmonious teaching environment. Emphasize the equality, democratization and individualization of education, give full play to each student's specialties, and publicize each student's vivid personality. Only when students have positive feelings about themselves, English, English learning and English culture can they keep the motivation of English learning and get good grades. Negative emotions will not only affect the effect of students' English learning, but also affect their all-round development and long-term development. High school students are in a special period of transition to adulthood, and it is also an important period for the initial formation of outlook on life. Therefore, in senior high school English teaching, teachers should pay special attention to students' emotions, treat students equally, respect every student, especially those who are introverted or have difficulties in learning, and actively encourage them to work hard in their studies. Teachers should create various cooperative learning activities, encourage students to learn from each other and help each other, experience the sense of collective honor and achievement, carry forward the spirit of cooperative inquiry, establish a harmonious and smooth communication channel between teachers and students, strive to create a relaxed, democratic and harmonious teaching atmosphere, and treat every student with an attitude of equality, democracy, respect, understanding, care and appreciation.
Third, strengthen the guidance of students' learning strategies and cultivate students' autonomous learning ability.
The new curriculum standard emphasizes the exploration of learning strategies, requires the democracy and independence of education and teaching activities, and establishes the consciousness of democracy and equality. Teachers should guide teaching by guiding, helping (trying), releasing (independently allowing students to use what they have learned to solve problems independently), collecting (feedback: timely feedback information, timely correction when problems are found, and timely regulation), and evaluating (teachers evaluate students, students evaluate students, students evaluate themselves, evaluate their own direction, and evaluate their own learning motivation). Let students read books, ask questions, talk about opinions, find rules, write summaries and correct mistakes. Let students see what they can understand; Let students say whatever they can; Let students think what they can think; Let students write what they can; Let students do what they can; Teachers should not take their positions, and try their best to make our English class full of questions, guesses, surprises, laughter, arguments, meditation and associations, so that teachers and students can learn from each other in a democratic and harmonious atmosphere.
Fourth, correctly guide and improve students' ability to analyze and solve problems.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Teachers teach for students' learning. In teaching, teachers should give full play to students' autonomy and enthusiasm, and change teaching into guidance. As a teacher, we should learn to lead students to knowledge, not knowledge, and be good at guiding students to find and solve problems, especially those encountered in learning, so as to form higher self-learning ability and technical ability needed by a knowledge society. Only in this way can students have the ability to find and solve problems independently after leaving our classroom, thus laying a solid foundation for students' lifelong development.
Fifth, break through the traditional teaching mode and explore new teaching ideas.
Promoting innovative education and enabling students to learn creatively depends largely on teachers' creative teaching. And teachers' creativity comes from practice. A teacher's creativity lies in how to get rid of the shackles of old ideas and guide and standardize his teaching practice with advanced and scientific teaching concepts; It is manifested in how to choose and use appropriate teaching modes, teaching means and teaching methods according to students' learning reality. Many teachers are still used to traditional teaching methods, all teachers and all students. As a result, teachers' creativity is not brought into play and students' creativity is stifled. A teacher can only actively carry out all kinds of creative teaching work if he sets up the character of striving for innovation and forge ahead, dares to break through the rules and regulations that hinder reform and innovation, breaks through the trouble of fixed thinking, and develops the consciousness of seeking differences and seeking differences, and people have their own.
Sixth, use modern educational technology to expand the channels of learning and using English.
Teachers should make full use of modern educational technology, develop English teaching resources, expand students' learning channels, improve students' learning methods and improve students' learning efficiency. Teachers should make full use of wall charts, audio-visual and other audio-visual means to enrich teaching contents and forms and promote students' classroom learning; Using computer and multimedia teaching software to explore new teaching mode and promote students' personalized learning; Try to develop and use the school's radio, television and network resources to create various conditions for students' autonomous learning.
Seven, teachers should constantly improve the level of specialization and improve their own quality.
The new curriculum standards bring opportunities for teachers to reform education and teaching, but also make teachers face unprecedented challenges. It requires English teachers to have profound professional knowledge; Strong language skills and communication skills; Have extensive knowledge of world human geography; Pay attention to your interests, manners, etc. At the same time, teachers should have strong educational and teaching ability, be able to freely control the teaching materials and classroom teaching process, and timely and accurately understand the characteristics of new teaching materials. Only in this way can we make a proper teaching plan, arrange teaching contents reasonably, organize classroom teaching activities effectively, and successfully complete the goals and tasks of English education and teaching under the new curriculum standards.
In a word, a good new teacher-student relationship is the guarantee of maintaining normal teaching and improving teaching efficiency, the requirement of new curriculum standards and concepts, and the premise of curriculum reform. Teachers should update their educational concepts in time, strengthen their self-cultivation, constantly enrich and improve themselves, put people first, establish a sense of all for students and all for students, and strive to create a new type of teacher-student relationship that is equal, democratic, harmonious and beneficial to both teaching and learning, so as to realize the full and free development of students' personality, let students freely move, explore independently, experience themselves, feel themselves and improve themselves, thus cultivating students' innovative consciousness and creativity and ensuring the implementation of new curriculum standards.
Reflection on English teaching in senior high school 4 In English teaching in senior high school, English reading teaching should not only complete the task of imparting language knowledge and developing students' language ability, but also deepen the connotation and extension of the text and extend the text space to society and life, so as to realize the effective expansion and transfer of knowledge and improve the efficiency and quality of reading teaching. But in the actual teaching process, I find that sometimes reading articles is too extensive, but students' understanding of the text is ignored; Too much other content is added, so that students can't even understand the text. Therefore, I reflected on the expansion activities of English reading teaching, and found that in order to better ensure the effectiveness of expansion, we should pay attention to the following four aspects.
1. Pay attention to the reading material itself.
Textbooks are the basis of reading teaching, and expansion is only an auxiliary means. The expansion must be carried out on the basis of completing the reading task to ensure the high quality and efficiency of reading teaching. No matter what way teachers expand, they should help students understand and master textbook knowledge. In reading teaching, on the one hand, teachers should pay attention to the quality of students' reading, so that students can not only thoroughly understand the content of the article, but also grasp the language expression of the article, thus building a knowledge system. On the other hand, teachers should also pay attention to students' reading methods and reading ability. Teachers should cultivate students' reading ability and overall ability to grasp articles step by step, and guide students to use various reading methods to obtain information and solve problems.
2. Pay attention to thinking training
Effective expansion should increase the depth and breadth of students' thinking. If reading teaching only pays attention to the expansion and extension of superficial content and ignores the internal part of thinking training, then this expansion training can only be a formal transfer, not a real expansion. Teachers should deeply study the teaching materials, excavate and refine the essence of reading texts, choose expanded contents and design step-by-step tasks; We should pay attention to the knowledge preparation, ability demand, method application, intentional interest and other factors of students' cognitive activities, and carry out effective regulation.
3. Let students become the main body of expansion
Teachers should expand in a timely and appropriate manner according to the needs of teaching, but they don't have to expand in every class, nor can they just expand in the second half of the class. We should pay attention to the organic combination of in-class and out-of-class and the optimization and reorganization of teaching resources to promote students' understanding of the article and the development of thinking. Based on this starting point, every link of classroom teaching can be used as the starting point of expansion. Extension can be previewed before class, introduced in class and extended after class. The key is to choose the breakthrough point of extension, so that extension can activate students' thinking, induce students' desire to express and urge students to experience, feel, comprehend and think.
In addition, teachers should choose the content and form of expansion according to the teaching purpose of the article and the actual situation of students. Excessive or bad expansion will weaken the value of the article.
The main body of expansion should be students, so as to truly reflect the role of teachers and students in the classroom. Teachers should be guides or helpers, create an atmosphere for students to understand and apply articles, and provide help at any time. Teachers should respect students' reading habits and preferences, and choose relevant knowledge that is close to real life or that students are most concerned about to expand their learning. Teachers should also pay attention to students' learning process and the optimal combination and harmony of students' knowledge, ability, emotion, attitude, values and methods in this process. In the specific classroom, I mainly use the following training methods:
1. I pay attention to guiding students to use the language in the article, and combine their own personal experience to reorganize the language of reading the article in the context.
2. conversion. Instruct students to screen or adapt the acquired language information on the basis of reading the article, and change some aspects of the article, such as style, expression order, scene or characters, so that students can practice their language in the new language environment.
3. Imitate writing. Guide students to grasp valuable and distinctive highlights in reading the article, so that students can practice both the whole article and fragments, including parody of sentence expression, parody of paragraph composition, parody of beginning and end or parody of transitional quotation. Through imitation, students can migrate in imitation and innovate in imitation.
4. expand. Students can be guided to use the language or schema of reading articles to expand the overview of articles or refine the language. Paying attention to choosing appropriate expansion points can inspire students, and the diffusion points of knowledge and ability training should be obvious and rich, expand the knowledge level of the article and cultivate students' ability to collect and process information. In the textbooks we are using now, the articles selected from the reading text of each unit are rich in content and cover a wide range, which can stimulate students' interest, and many vivid people and things in the textbooks can also arouse students' * * *. Therefore, in reading teaching, we should choose the entry point related to the article theme according to the theme of the article, combined with students' interest, acceptance and expression ability, and expand the knowledge of the article. The topic should not be too big, but should choose small topics with rich materials, certain coverage and comprehensiveness, so that students can complete them independently or cooperatively through reading. Students collect, screen, analyze, synthesize, refine and reorganize relevant information independently or under the guidance of teachers. After collecting a certain amount of information, students discuss topics in groups. This kind of learning method, which requires both independent thinking and interactive cooperation, can cultivate students' excellent learning quality of unity, cooperation, science and realism, and contribute to students' lifelong learning and self-development. After cooperative inquiry, students speak, other students supplement and improve, and teachers comment. The main purpose of this link is to feed back the effect of students' knowledge expansion, explain the problems that students failed to find properly, and correct students' biased or extreme views. Of course, in the evaluation, we should pay attention to protecting the enthusiasm of students to carry out inquiry learning, so that students can always feel the joy of exploration and research. In addition, we should also attach importance to ideological and moral education in English teaching, try our best to tap the ideological and moral education factors in textbooks, and take knowledge as the carrier to infiltrate ideological and moral education in a timely and appropriate manner to improve students' ideological quality.
In a word, I think reading teaching has formed an organic whole to cultivate and improve students' English literacy by expanding the language level, knowledge level and emotion level of articles. Teachers should review and expand articles from a dynamic, open and comprehensive perspective, strive to build a comprehensive English learning platform for senior high schools, and comprehensively cultivate students' English literacy and innovation ability.
