学校英语教育的方针和方法的改良 Improvement of the principles and methods of English 首先,它能够帮助老师去理解如何才能让他们的学生去处理这些文档,进一步的去提高或者更换目前的教学的方法,更好的去提高他们的教学的质量,大声说出主题思想,甚至可以评论文章和给出建设性的评论或者意见是一个最明显的方法去让学生们去理解文章的含义,而且能够指出他们如何来把英语作为一个语言来使用。 第二,它也能够提高学生们的口头交流能力,这些能够引导学生们去放弃只处理文字上的方法,或者放弃以前的更加只关心分数的方法。这样可以更加激发他们的说英语的激情,长此以往,老师会把更多的精力集中在他们的勇敢的经验而不是频繁的语法错误,为他们的自由的交流和鼓励他们在教室中作为主人创造愉快的环境。 第三,这个对他们训练思考能力,交际和逻辑能力都有很大的帮助作用。 Firstly, it can help teachers to know how their fellow students get on with the text, and further improve or exchange the present teaching methods, bettering the quality of their teaching. Speaking out the main ideas, even commenting on the text and giving some imagination or suggestion is the obvious way to show the students' understandings of the text, and to mark out how they can use English as a language. Secondly, it can improve students' ability of oral expression. Doing like this leads students to abandon the former way of just dealing with test papers, or caring much for their scores only, and it can stimulate their interest to speak out in English. So long as the teachers pay much attention to their brave experience instead of the frequent grammatical mistakes, creating very pleasant atmosphere for them to talk freely and encouraging them to be the hosts or hostesses in class. Thirdly, it's very helpful to train their thinking, inference and logic, that is, after they can speak out the main idea about the text, don't end up, the following step is to give them time and space to imagine or comment on the idea freely. For example, when secondary school students learn the text Breaking down Family Barriers (1),the most satisfactory progress is that they can hold a correct point of view towards their own relationship with parents and give out many pieces of advice to break down family barriers. By retelling the texts, they can get a whole concept about a matter and learn to analysis it dialectically, which will arouse their fervor to think what happens to them often and keep clear and correct opinions. Fourthly, it can embody students' central position in class. Compared with traditional class, (the teachers must be the leaders, and students are positive to make notes or make sentences with some words or phrases mechanically), retelling class is very active and challengeable, the more they join in, the more they'll learn from the class and the more they can improve their oral expression. Of course, it's also a very hard job for teachers to run the lesson like this, here are some references for you. Discussion. This is the most useful way to create the talking atmosphere. After students read through the whole passage, the teacher may enlighten them to draw out a topic to discuss. For example, the text of Breaking down Family Barriers (2) you may say "What should the relationship between children and parents be?" or "as a child, how should you communicate with your parents?"Then divide the whole class into several groups to develop their free and hot discussion, and then encourage them to state out their own ideas about that. Questions, which are very effective to operate their thinking, you may ask some simple or detailed questions about the context. And answers to the questions may bring them a very clear impression on the text. And also the questions may lead them to imagine some situation, which is relative to the text, and give them more material to express in English. For example, " are you missing your parents now?" "Have you ever complained about them?" " Do you believe them?" " Do you and your parents trust and understand each other?" Pictures. Pictures are very good or suitable for middle school students, because they are object and easy to think about and connect in the mind, so the teacher uses some connective and impressive pictures to generalize the main idea, which can surely stir up their desire to speak in class. Paragraphs. lead them to make out the topic idea of each paragraph, and then get the clear thinking of the whole passage. Students may try to enrich or support the topic sentence by using their own imagination. By doing this, they are likely to make up a similar article, which is fresher and more wonderful than the origin. Performance, it can practice their multiple-comprehensive ability. They may make up a short play or a dialogue according to some plots or opinion or main idea of the article to enlighten their thinking, which can increase their interests, deepen their memory and also create very active atmosphere to speak in English freely. Yes, it's easier to say than to do .As an English teacher, you shouldn't be too impatient to wait. You'd do it step by step according to the situation in your class. Just remember one thing, that is, to encourage them more and give them more chances! |
