How to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning English

Founder county Songnan Middle School: In the English class in Chen Weihua, it is the premise to improve students' subjective participation and establish a correct teaching concept; Stimulating students' interest in learning is the key; Taking a variety of teaching methods and creating a lively teaching environment is the guarantee, and creating an equal and harmonious relationship between teachers and students is the bridge to success. Keywords: interest in learning; Participation; The sense of accomplishment, happiness and happiness in junior high school are basic courses in English teaching. How to implement the spirit of quality education and let students learn actively is a problem that we should think and discuss. Especially in our rural schools, the student base is poor. They have never studied English in primary school, and their knowledge is narrow and their vision is not broad. It is particularly important to mobilize their enthusiasm for learning. As we all know, "Interest is the best teacher". How can you learn English well if you have no interest? Interest is the forerunner of seeking knowledge and an important factor to stimulate students' enterprising spirit. Therefore, improving students' subjective participation in English class, establishing correct teaching concepts is the premise, stimulating students' interest in learning is the key, and adopting various and effective teaching methods and creating a lively teaching environment is the guarantee. So how to stimulate the interest in learning English and make the classroom move? This is my little idea. First of all, the teaching methods should be novel and flexible. Whether the teaching method is chosen properly and the teaching process is designed skillfully is the guarantee to transform students' interest into participation motivation. Don't stick to a certain teaching method, but adopt different teaching methods according to different contents, objects, stages and teaching requirements. Adopt various classroom forms such as classroom discussion, debate and games, and combine teaching methods such as questioning, dialogue, discussion and communication to encourage students to speak more English. Through the necessary design and planning of the whole process, set the main points of teaching and communication, set up, create or simulate some scenes, and design some classroom games. Through the visualization and diversification of teaching, students' interest in learning can be fully aroused and they can use English purposefully in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. For example, when learning to shop, design the following scene: let a student sit behind a desk, pretending to be a storekeeper, and there are clothes collected from classmates on the desk. The other two students play shoppers with backpacks, practice shopping conversations and ask what happened. A: Hello. Can I help you? Yes, please. I want to buy a coat. A: That's right. Is this ok? B: It's too small. do you have a bigger one? How about this black one? B: it's better than that. how much is it? A: 60 yuan. B: I'll take it. In this way, situational teaching enables most students to exercise and gain knowledge in application. In addition, asking students to inquire about the relevant knowledge of the Silk Road on the Internet and understand the story and life of the character "Kyle Polo" not only enriches knowledge, satisfies students' thirst for knowledge, paves the way for the understanding of the text, but also stimulates students' interest and feels the power of learning, so classroom vitality naturally arises. Second, make proper use of body language to enrich English classes. Use body language to stimulate students' interest in learning, activate classroom teaching atmosphere and promote students' "learning". Interest is the forerunner of learning, and stimulating and cultivating students' interest in learning is an important condition for successful teaching. Body language is concrete and interesting, and students are willing to accept it and impressed. In class, teachers use expressive reading and vivid body language to explain, which is time-saving and easy to understand, and the class is full of vitality. Therefore, designing body language according to the teaching content can stimulate students' strong interest in learning English. Moreover, the use of body language in teaching can also break the boring classroom, enliven the classroom learning atmosphere and create a relaxed learning environment for students. In this learning environment, students feel the convenience and liveliness brought by body language, and gradually learn the target language through imitation. For example, when talking about adjectives such as happiness, sadness and obesity, teachers will make different expressions to make students feel interesting and fully understand their meanings. When you say face and head, raise your hand and point your fingers at face and head respectively. Students can't help imitating actions, so that you can keep your face and head firmly in your mind. When teaching is not very good, teachers will hold their bodies tightly and do trembling movements at the same time, or knock on their backs and beat their chests, which hurts badly. Students immediately understand their meaning and imitate them. These actions attract students' attention, enliven the classroom teaching atmosphere, stimulate students' interest in learning and improve learning efficiency. Third, help students build a sense of accomplishment, thus increasing the motivation of learning. This curriculum reform attempts to change the previous teaching of imparting knowledge into all-round teaching of cultivating people. The new curriculum emphasizes the basic knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning, the connection between educational content and students' life, and the development of modern society and science and technology. In the way of learning, it emphasizes the cultivation of students' abilities of active participation, exploration and hands-on, information collection and processing, new knowledge acquisition, problem analysis and solution, communication and cooperation. Wonderful introduction, interesting materials and the setting of activity classes undoubtedly provide the necessary conditions and a rotating stage for inquiry learning. In daily teaching, students must always feel the joy of success and gain a sense of accomplishment. Only in this way can students have a stronger interest in English learning and achieve better teaching results. The author's practice and experience are as follows: when beginners write 26 English letters, students feel bored and don't write carefully. The letters they write are either too fat or too thin, and they are irregular. In view of this situation, the author held an English calligraphy competition to compete for the "little star" in calligraphy. Two days before the competition, the students' actions touched the author, and almost all their leisure time was spent practicing writing letters one by one, which really made them unwilling to give up. It is conceivable that many students won the title of "Little Star". Letter writing is not only standardized, but also neat and beautiful, and students' writing ability has been greatly improved. Through this competition, the students who became "little stars" gained a sense of accomplishment and studied English harder. The unsuccessful students also made secret efforts to win the election next time. With the successful experience of the competition, the author also held phonetic alphabet games and vocabulary teaching games (including word relay, word classification, word search, word deformation and so on). ), oral English contest, speech contest, reading contest, let students compile English handwritten newspapers and hold English evenings. Through these activities, students can achieve something in learning and entertainment, and their interest in English is greatly improved through successful learning. Fourth, organize various activities to stimulate students' interest in learning. I remember a famous person once said, "The source of interest lies in application." In order to improve students' interest in learning English and give them more opportunities to communicate in English, we set up an English corner to hold English extracurricular activities, so that students can sing more English songs, and recite the sentence patterns we recite in the songs appropriately, so as to improve students' enthusiasm for learning and apply what they have learned, and arrange English scripts or perform cross talk sketches in English according to the situation. Give material rewards to students who perform well. In this learning situation, it not only cultivates students' team spirit, but also stimulates students' interest in learning. You can also hold English competitions to stimulate your interest in learning. Teaching practice has proved that it is an effective method to introduce competition mechanism into English classroom teaching. For example, we can change the language of daily oral practice into the language of competition; Q&A questions can be changed to "scramble to answer; And writing competition, riddle guessing competition, whispering competition and other activities; It is better to use the integral method to give encouragement. Appropriate classroom competition, students are willing to participate, willing to compete first, effectively mobilized the enthusiasm of students to learn English. 5. The charm of establishing an equal and harmonious relationship between teachers and students is the premise and source of cultivating students' interest in learning. In daily teaching, some teachers have excellent teaching effects. In addition to their high professional level, it is very important that teachers' noble and excellent personality charm through loving, caring and caring for students is a powerful driving force for the subjects they teach. Most teachers with excellent teaching results get along well with their students. Smart and excellent teachers always communicate with students to the maximum extent, eliminate obstacles between teachers and students, shorten the psychological distance between teachers and students, and thus establish democratic, equal and intimate feelings between teachers and students. This sense of closeness and trust will bring endless fun to both teachers and students, so that teachers can teach happily and students can learn happily, thus achieving the realm of teacher-student integration, teacher guidance and student orientation. This emotional consistency and coordination is the voice of teaching and learning and the source of students' great interest in learning. Therefore, in addition to teaching, teachers should pay equal attention to professional learning and personal accomplishment, and improve their comprehensive quality. When guiding students to explore, teachers should focus on those aspects that have extensive migration value and can be inspired and used in students' life and after they enter the society, instead of pursuing the exploration level of scientists, they should focus on the improvement of students' "basic scientific literacy". That is, to satisfy students' thirst for knowledge, cultivate scientific thinking ability, exercise problem-solving ability, cooperation and communication ability, cultivate scientific spirit and attitude, and initially obtain scientific methods. Pay special attention to guide all students to deeply understand the characteristics of inquiry and how inquiry leads to scientific discovery through direct participation in the inquiry process and their own reflection and thinking. To sum up, in English teaching, we should persist in entertaining, and pay attention to using interest to improve students' learning enthusiasm. The cultivation of interest is multifaceted. Teachers should always pay attention to the cultivation of students' interest in learning, take effective measures to constantly stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, make students really love English and learn English happily, create more teaching situations for them, and provide them with a stage to display their talents, thus improving the quality of English teaching. As young teachers, working in the front line, we should keep exploring, so as to explore more advanced teaching methods that are more in line with students' psychology, improve our teaching ability and improve students' academic performance.
