The Significance and Strategies of Children's Language Teaching
First, the significance of early childhood language education
Because children's language development is closely related to the development of thinking, language and thinking are interdependent, mutually promoting and influencing. First of all, language restricts the development and changes of thinking, for example, the accumulation of vocabulary, the right or wrong of language habits, the appropriateness and inappropriateness of sentences to express feelings, and so on. Secondly, children's language can promote the development of children's thinking, and the process of children learning language is also the process of developing thinking. Children's language education can help children develop their ability of conception and expression, which requires teachers to guide children to understand the world from multiple angles and encourage children to describe things in language in practice.
In actual teaching, traditional Chinese teaching for children has accumulated a lot of experience in creative education, but it is still cramming, which not only affects children's enthusiasm and creativity, but also limits their thinking development. Therefore, in order to make children's thinking activities change from directional to multi-directional, teachers should pay attention to the cultivation of children's creative thinking in the process of language teaching and try to avoid "cramming" teaching.
Second, the diversification of the content design of children's language activities is the basis of teaching.
The purpose of preschool education is to improve children's comprehensive language ability and ensure that every ability of children is improved. The diversification of children's language activity design is the basis of teaching.
The types of language activities should be complete. To develop children's comprehensive language ability, we must provide comprehensive language activities, just as we must provide a comprehensive and rich diet to get comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Therefore, the implementation of kindergarten language education should at least include literary activities, phrasing activities, conversation activities, literacy reading activities, language games and other rich and diverse types.
Activities should be organized in various forms. In order to cultivate children's language ability, we should carry out various types of language activities in various ways. First of all, we should organize teaching activities regularly and actively use multimedia to improve teaching quality. Secondly, make good use of informal teaching activities and random education to know words and phrases with people anytime and anywhere.
The content of language activities should be complete. The content of language activities should be comprehensive, for example, literary activities should include all kinds of stories, poems and essays; Story teaching should not only choose fairy tales, but also choose fairy tales, science fiction stories, fables, historical stories, legends of the Ming Dynasty and so on. Poetry teaching should not only choose children's songs, but also include children's poems. Prose teaching should include works focusing on people and scenery.
Third, strengthen self-cultivation and set an example.
Italian aesthetician Croce believes that language itself is art, and teachers are language workers who deal with this art every day. Suhomlinski said: "Teachers' language literacy largely determines the efficiency of students' mental work in class." Teachers' language is not only the carrier of accurate information transmission, but also the normal teacher for children to learn language. Therefore, in language teaching, teachers should strengthen language cultivation and improve the demonstration and artistry of language.
The teacher plays a symphony in language in class, which reverberates in the minds of the children he knows, with the best effect, and "sticks" the students with language. Let children feel the charm of language in words and deeds and form their own language ability in a subtle way. For example, when telling stories and pictures, teachers should pay attention to the tone of different roles, with high and low tones, supplemented by certain gestures to help children improve their ability to understand and use language.
At the same time, teachers should encourage children to express themselves boldly. Children's language ability is different. Teachers should respect each child's characteristics and psychological needs, choose appropriate conversation content, ways and occasions, choose what they are interested in to trigger topics, encourage them to express themselves every time, and let them feel the fun of communicating with others. When children use unsatisfactory words and incomplete sentences, teachers should not rush to correct them, so as not to cause psychological pressure on children.
Fourth, stimulate children's interest in learning languages.
We know that the outstanding characteristics of children's psychological development are emotional, good at imitation and rich in imagination, which is even more remarkable. Whatever they are interested in and feel strange can leave a deep impression and concentrate on their activities. Therefore, the selection of content should pay attention to interest and novelty, so as to improve children's learning interest and learning effect.
As the saying goes, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish". Children are in the most important enlightenment period of life, and it is not enough for teachers and parents to set an example. Whether a child is interested or not determines his positive spirit of learning. Interest is the first teacher. Interest is the source of motivation for children to explore the "unknown" world in which they live, and it is the premise and guarantee for carrying out various activities. Interest can be divided into direct interest and indirect interest.
In practical activities, children's direct interests and indirect interests can be transformed and sometimes even integrated with each other. For example, it is children's nature to like games, which is the most direct and effective measure to implement this principle. Secondly, we should be good at catching and observing things that children are interested in, and closely link the teaching content with it. If children like watching cartoons, they can show them the characters and plots of cartoons at an appropriate time. Thirdly, we should choose interesting language books for children to read. It is effective and feasible for teachers to improve children's language ability by stimulating their interest in language learning.
Fifth, the teaching content should be close to life.
Real life is an important way to cultivate children's language ability. Guiding children to actively participate can effectively help children to turn knowledge into practice and help children deepen their understanding of what they have learned. Children's language teaching is to enable children to use language freely in their lives, so the teaching content must be close to life. Teachers should teach children to master some basic polite expressions, such as saying "thank you" when accepting others' help, answering "you're welcome" when others say "thank you", and saying "I'm sorry" when accidentally bumping into others ... In language training, more life scenes can be simulated, so that children can practice their language in specific situations, and children can also play different roles in dialogue to strengthen communication between children. At the same time, teachers should organize more theme activities with local characteristics, which are closely related to seasons, and guide children to speak and practice more in activities to improve their language ability.
Generally speaking, language ability is an indispensable and important ability for human beings. Teachers and parents must seize the critical period of children, improve the effectiveness of children's language teaching, and then improve children's language ability. Teachers must guide children to talk and think more in learning and entertainment, and improve their language ability through constant oral expression. At the same time, teachers should gradually standardize children's language expression, gradually correct children's language expression errors, and further improve children's language ability.
Experience of language teaching for children in large classes
This morning is the first time that the master has listened to my "mentoring" class, which is the "growth" of routine management. Complete this teaching in careful preparation and intense activities. Finally, the master said to me, "Disciple, your routine management has made some progress this year, and your teaching attitude is good, but the language teaching goal for large class children needs to be improved a little, such as' Please ask the children to repeat ……'"
I still remember when I finished the first "mentoring" class, the teacher gave me an evaluation: good teaching attitude, but poor routines. Indeed, I used to teach sloppy classes, and sometimes I had to help the head teacher, Mr. Wu, rectify classroom discipline. As long as she talks, the children will behave themselves. At that time, she was my idol, thinking: how prestigious she is in front of the children, if only I could do this!
From then on, I began to realize the importance and necessity of letting children follow the routine through collective study and reflection and careful guidance from masters again and again. For children, they are a blank sheet of paper, and their ability to distinguish right from wrong is still not perfect. Many actions are performed unconsciously. The so-called "no rules, no Fiona Fang, no Fiona Fang" has its own mandatory imprisonment, but it can intuitively teach children to distinguish right from wrong and understand when to do and when not to do it. As far as teachers are concerned, the quality of classroom routine directly affects the development and implementation of classroom teaching activities. Imagine how a teacher can teach a class that has no discipline at all. Good habits need to be honed by ourselves, and children need the participation and reminder of our teachers. Because I just started, the methods are still lacking, so I often ask Mr. Wu for advice and learn some feasible methods. Under her main leadership, our class was awarded the "Demonstration Class of Conventional Management" in the semester.
In my daily class work, I carefully observed Mr. Wu's management tact: when they made mistakes, they seized the evidence at that time and criticized and pointed out the mistakes in time, so that children could be persuaded and guided after admitting their mistakes; When you do well, praise and encouragement are also timely. In order to establish correct daily behavior norms, we occasionally admit our mistakes in front of our children and promise not to repeat them next time. Once, I forgot to turn off the TV power after class, so that the children found out. When I went to work in the afternoon, as soon as I stepped into the classroom, they pointed out the phenomenon of wasting electricity. I immediately blushed and admitted my mistake in front of them. Children's behavior habits often only show some subtle details, so always paying attention to children is the premise of mastering routines. Realizing this, I began a systematic routine management study: from the polite greeting when I came to the garden in the morning, "Good morning, teacher!" " Good morning! "From the life course before leaving the park, I reminded myself to let the children have a sense of routine in every link.
In fact, routine management is also an art, and its profound connotation needs constant exploration, practice and reflection for me. Last semester, I was intimate with my children, which made some children very "oily" and brought obstacles to my daily management. I even cried in front of them once. At that time, I thought to myself: you are really good with you at ordinary times. How heartless of you to bully me and not listen to me! Recalling me at that time, I couldn't help laughing myself. But I always believe that it is never wrong to be good to children, just to understand and grasp whether it is "good" or not!
Reflections on children's language teaching
Language is an important communication tool for human beings. Communication between people often needs language as an intermediary, and language plays an indispensable role in human life. Early childhood is a critical period for language development. How to grasp this critical period to conduct language education for children? Today, I combine the spirit of the new syllabus to discuss and reflect on the meaning understanding, goal setting and content selection of Chinese education in kindergartens. Make us have a clearer understanding of language education activities in kindergartens.
The language education activities in kindergartens are to educate children in a purposeful, planned and organized way, to help them gain language experiences such as listening, speaking, appreciating and reading, and to promote their ability to use language. So that their cognition, emotion and behavior can be developed. Therefore, language education activities in kindergartens cultivate children's listening, expression, appreciation and reading abilities, and ultimately improve children's language use ability. What are the characteristics of Chinese education activities? I think it has the following three characteristics:
1. Language education is a special language learning process; Children's language develops in the interaction between individuals and the environment, especially in the language communication with people. In the family, language communication between adults and between adults and children provides an important language imitation and language learning environment for children. Language communication between peers in the game provides an environment for children to practice language communication. There are also various film and television programs that enrich children's language environment. However, in order to promote children's language development, it is necessary to organize formal educational activities and carry out planned and systematic language education. It can be said that language education in kindergarten is a special language learning process.
Second, the purpose of language education activities is to let children gain language experience; Children's language development is achieved through daily language acquisition and language experience gained in organized language education activities. Children who grow up in different environments have different language experiences because of their different cultural backgrounds, different language forms and contents when communicating with people around them, and different pragmatic abilities. These different language experiences also lead to differences in children's language development. In formal language education activities, teachers gather children living in different environments together, and provide children with certain conditions and situations purposefully according to certain educational goals, so that they can gain rich language experience in the interaction with these conditions and situations, and master the form and content of the language with the help of these experiences, so as to increase their ability to understand and express the language.
Thirdly, language education is a comprehensive educational process; The integration of Chinese education activities is mainly reflected in the integration of educational objectives, educational contents and educational methods.
1, the integration of educational goals.
2. Integration of educational content
3. Integration of educational methods.
The integration of educational methods refers to organizing language education activities in various forms. As we know, the outstanding characteristics of children's psychological development are emotional, good at imitation and rich in imagination, which is also a remarkable feature of children's psychological development. Whatever they are interested in and feel strange can leave a deep impression and concentrate on their activities. Therefore, the choice of content pays attention to interest and novelty in order to improve children's learning interest and learning effect.
A summary of classroom language teaching in children's middle schools
This semester, I helped children learn the language in the form of activity games.
In the practice of splashing water, use head, mouth and hands to develop children's language expression ability. Here, because my teaching methods are limited, my usual tone of voice is not vivid enough, and there are other shortcomings, which need to be gradually accumulated and improved in the future teaching methods.
Another semester is about to pass, and we are pleased to see that the children have had a happy and fulfilling study life in the middle class. A hard work and a harvest, we have paid hard sweat and the children have made great progress. Kindergarten children are very young, come from different families and have different life rules. In order to cultivate their good work and rest, we really work hard. In order to work better in the future, the work of this semester is summarized as follows: As a preschool educator, to fulfill the duty of teaching and educating people, we must first have good political and ideological quality and establish a correct world outlook and outlook on life.
I. Education and teaching work
1, prepare lessons carefully and prepare lessons in advance.
Preparing lessons is the premise to ensure the smooth completion of educational activities. Every time I prepare a lesson, I will discuss it with my teacher to ensure the consistency of our goals. I carefully write every lesson preparation note, so that the goal is clear and the organization is clear.
2, fully follow the "kindergarten education guidelines (Trial)"
For example, in the process of art teaching,
(1) Provide children with a variety of life experiences, enrich their daily life experiences through various channels, and expand their knowledge. I usually choose some books and movies with different styles for children to explain and guide them to watch. While providing them with a variety of experiences, I pay attention to describing the characteristics of shapes, colors and changes in use with vivid artistic language, so that children can have a clear and complete understanding.
(2) Let children feel beauty freely, discover beauty and form interest in art in a relaxed and happy environment. First, create a relaxed and happy psychological environment for children, so that children have enough freedom and confidence to actively try various activities. Secondly, create a perceptual aesthetic environment for children and stimulate their creative motivation.
(3) provide children with a variety of operating tools and materials, so that children can promote the development of small muscles in practice and develop hand-eye coordination and hands-on ability.
(4) Cultivate children's thinking ability.
(5) When evaluating children's works, put forward some suggestions on their shortcomings in a suggestive tone.
In sports, we should give priority to cultivating children's interest in learning sports. Through explanation, demonstration, practice, language improvement and specific help, games, competitions, leadership, signals and other methods, we will implement the principles of regular, moderate exercise, combination, diversity, all-round development, intuition, interest, the combination of children's subject and teacher guidance, and the combination of organized educational activities and children's free activities to fully realize the goal of children's physical exercise.
3. Carefully record each child's observation.
Second, the creation of the environment
According to the needs of the Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education (Trial), the setting of activity area is essential. But how can we reasonably set up the activity area according to the needs of teaching? We have made many attempts to this end. Environment serves education and teaching activities. According to the needs of teaching activities and the characteristics of this class, we chose some distinctive decorative arrangements, and at the same time, in order to save paper, we also used some waste materials. In terms of layout, we let children participate in it and let them make it themselves.
Three. Life nursing and routine education
In order to let the children quickly enter the role of large class in the second half of the year, our class has carried out some routine classroom training during this transitional period. In the above class, keep the correct posture, listen to the teacher carefully, think positively about the problem, and raise your hand when you speak. Throwing seats, eating snacks and playing with toys in class have basically been eliminated. The principle of class is: let children learn in games and play in learning, so that their learning process is relaxed and enjoyable without any pressure. Fourth, the work of parents.
Keep close contact with parents and be willing to ask for their suggestions and opinions. There will be a parent-teacher conference this semester. Through parent-teacher conferences, we can talk with parents in many aspects, keep abreast of children's physical and mental conditions, and effectively take appropriate measures to protect their education. We can also correct some existing problems in time through contact with parents and adopt some good suggestions to make the work of kindergartens more perfect and in place.
This semester, with the efforts of Mr. Wang and me, the children in this class have developed well in all aspects, and I believe they will do well in the future.
