Language sense is language consciousness, that is, the ability to feel, understand and grasp language. The key to language sense is to grasp the stipulation of language quality in various language environments intuitively, flexibly and nimbly. English teaching in primary schools is enlightenment teaching. Its teaching purpose is to enable students to gain some perceptual knowledge of English, stimulate their interest in learning English, lay a good foundation for language intonation and form good study habits. It can be said that the main task of English teaching in primary schools is to cultivate students' sense of language, and the formation of this sense of language can determine their future English learning. How to cultivate students' sense of language?
First, strengthen reading training.
Reading aloud helps to form a sense of language. Although there are few words and sentence patterns involved in primary school, if teachers let students read these sentence patterns or dialogues accurately and fluently, or even recite them, they will lay a deep foundation for their English learning.
1, reading skills training. For primary school students, some reading skills, such as continuous reading, missing, pause, intonation, etc., do not need our teachers to understand and remember in theory, but must be mastered in practice. Especially in the primary stage, when students are exposed to sentences, teachers should read the whole sentence instead of reading it word by word. For example, the following sentence should read: Please stand up. Please sit down. In this way, students can understand a sentence emotionally and facilitate correct communication in the future.
2. The way of reading. The way of reading aloud should be as loud and fast as possible, so that students can hear their own reading voice and detect incorrect places, which is conducive to forming good reading habits.
3. imitate the recording. The best way to learn correct pronunciation is to follow the recordings of British and American people. In order to overcome the phenomenon that students are easily tired and distracted when imitating, students can choose one person, for example, boys can imitate Sam and girls can imitate Amy to see who imitates the most. On this basis, let students imitate and perform creatively and extensively, and stimulate their enthusiasm for imitation and reading.
Second, arouse the enthusiasm of listening and speaking.
According to the guiding principle of listening and speaking, the cultivation of language sense should start with the cultivation of listening and speaking ability. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of listening and speaking, I adopt the method of letting students perform in classroom teaching, so that primary school students are lively and willing to show. Taking advantage of this feature, I let the students perform in groups first, and then let the students perform on stage in groups, and the teachers and students in the audience will evaluate and judge the outstanding groups or individuals.
Third, cultivate a sense of language in various ways.
1. Teachers organize classroom teaching in English. Classroom is the main place for students to contact and learn English, so we teachers must give full play to its role. In class, I try my best to organize teaching with concise and correct pronunciation and intonation, use more intuitive teaching AIDS and create more scene-assisted teaching.
2. songs. Learning a language, through singing, can stimulate learning interest, help to remember and consolidate the language materials learned, cultivate a sense of rhythm and improve fluency. There are seven or eight English songs in each textbook. By learning these songs, students can remember almost all the contents of the textbook in the rhythm of music and deepen their understanding of language sense.
Primary school students are in the period of language formation, and it is in line with the law of primary school students' language learning to cultivate a sense of language as the main line running through primary school English teaching. After a period of training, primary school students gradually mastered the most basic reading skills, students read cadently, and a sense of English language gradually formed. Of course, there are many ways to cultivate language sense, and there are also many ways to improve in teaching.
The Cultivation of Language Sense in English Teaching in Primary Schools
English teaching in primary schools is the initial stage of English, which lays a preliminary foundation for further learning English. According to the physical and mental characteristics and development needs of primary school students, the purpose of primary school English curriculum is to stimulate students' interest in learning English, cultivate their positive attitude towards learning English, build their initial self-confidence in learning English, cultivate students' sense of language and good pronunciation and intonation foundation, and initially form their ability to make simple daily communication in English. According to the age characteristics and psychological development law of primary school students, how to help students form a certain sense of language in teaching without making it boring?
First, strengthen reading, "reading" in the feeling.
First of all, we should provide students with a "listening source" with pure pronunciation and moderate difficulty, which can be teaching tapes, English broadcasts or teachers themselves. When listening, students are advised to read along softly. Only by reading a lot can students' pronunciation and intonation be cultivated and improved, and students can read a dialogue accurately, fluently and vividly, making it fragrant, emotional and linguistic. For example, in understanding "Do you like ..." Yes, I do. /No, I don't know. "In this sentence, I presented a flashing picture through multimedia: a beautiful and lovely kite flies freely and sings freely in the air with beautiful music. The students easily learned the meaning of the word kite in a pleasant atmosphere, and then the teacher asked, "Do you like this kite? The student naturally replied, "Yes, I like it." /No, I don't t t "Unconsciously, middle school students not only understand the meaning of the sentence, but also cultivate their oral expression ability. Through reading more, asking more questions and practicing more, let students read aloud repeatedly and form a sense of language in communication. This shows how important it is to improve students' reading level, cultivate students' sense of language and let students intuitively perceive and express their feelings through more reading!
Second, image perception, understood in the "environment".
The psychology of children's development tells us that primary school students are lively and active, love to show, love to imitate, have strong plasticity and good thinking in images. In view of students' age characteristics and psychological development law, we should pay attention to cultivating students' independent consciousness, persist in taking students as the main body of learning, experience English through their role experience in specific situations, and consciously cultivate students' sense of language.
For example, I am teaching "How are you?" "It's over there." "This way, please." "Thank you very much." And answer, "it's my pleasure." When playing the video, let the students imitate the dialogues and performances of the characters in the video and practice by themselves. When boring words appear on the video in the form of three or two character dialogues, students' interest is aroused at once. Driven by interest, students imitate and perform very well, which can not only easily understand the general meaning of some sentences, but also achieve the purpose of training language sense more effectively.
Another example: I am teaching "Yes?" I created a situation for the students at that time. I asked a student to come into the classroom from the outside to find me. When they say, "I'm sorry, Miss Sun." I immediately replied, "Really?" . After several repetitions, students understand that the meaning of "yes" in the rising tone is not "yes or right", but "what is it?" . Later, when I called their names, they could even use "Yes?" Come and answer me. In this way, without my explanation, students not only know "yes" plus "?" The meaning of can also be used flexibly in other scenes. Another example is teaching "May I come in? Please come in. " Design a student to be late and let him say "May I come in?" Then I smiled and motioned "come in." Students can easily understand the teacher's meaning without the teacher's words, and they also cultivate a sense of language unconsciously. It can be seen that by creating situations for dialogue or word teaching, students can not only master the language as a whole, but also understand the language in the overall application, which is conducive to the formation of language sense.
Third, imitate in singing and skillfully grasp the sense of language.
In teaching practice, I found that English nursery rhymes and rhythmic nursery rhymes are both language materials that primary school students are willing to imitate. English textbooks for primary schools provide students with a large number of English songs, such as Don't be late again. "Fly, fly, my kite." Because of its lively and relaxed melody and catchy lyrics, it is deeply loved by primary school students. When I teach singing English songs or children's songs, I always let the students enjoy the recording first to arouse their interest. Then lead the students to read the lyrics according to the rhythm of the song, with correct pronunciation and intonation; Then teach singing sentence by sentence repeatedly until the students master it; Finally, change the singing method. Let students be willing to imitate by performing, live singing, duet and chorus, and imitate again and again. In this way, by learning to sing, students not only learn to sing, but also learn or consolidate simple words, sentences and sentence patterns. At the same time, they also learn natural and beautiful pronunciation and intonation, learn to appreciate the rhythmic beauty of language, and unconsciously train their sense of language.
Fourth, go deep into reality and have a keen perception.
As we all know, most of the teaching contents selected in the current PEP textbooks are close to and closely related to students' lives. In teaching, we should contact with students' real life, so that students can use their language knowledge as much as possible to solve the English problems they often encounter in daily life. Doing so, on the one hand, trains students' reaction speed and problem-solving ability, on the other hand, it also enables students to consolidate and learn what they have learned and improve their own language system structure. In practice, students can be keenly aware of the differences between Chinese and English, and their sense of language can be cultivated and improved.
For example, when teaching topics such as "greetings" and "shopping", I create some situations for students in daily life and provide them with as many practice opportunities as possible. Let the students imitate the main sentence patterns in the text, give play to their imagination and creativity, write and act out the dialogue. In the first class of shopping, I decorated the classroom as a shop, so that students could participate in communication life in such a "real" situation. They are very interested and cordial, which not only improves their spoken English, but also cultivates their sense of language. In addition, I try my best to create conditions for students to practice their language in the real environment after class, such as setting up an "English corner" and rehearsing mini-plays. Through these exercises, students become more and more sensitive to English, often learn and use English creatively in real life, and their communicative competence is constantly improved.
In short, in English teaching in primary schools, we should fully realize the role of language sense in cultivating students' language ability and communicative competence, give full play to the physical and psychological advantages of primary schools, strengthen language sense training, and comprehensively improve primary school students' ability to use English, thus stimulating their interest in learning English and truly improving students' language communicative competence.

How to Cultivate Students' Sense of Language in Primary School English Teaching
English education is an important part of citizen quality education in the 2 1 century. The purpose of offering English in primary schools is to enable primary school students to cultivate positive feelings in learning English through this course, form a preliminary sense of English language, lay a solid foundation in pronunciation and intonation, and have the initial ability to communicate in the English they have learned.
This shows that in English teaching, teachers should gradually expand the content and scope of cultural knowledge according to students' age characteristics and cognitive ability, and pay attention to cultivating language sense. A keen sense of language is not only an important condition for learning a language well, but also an important symbol of one's English level.
The so-called sense of language refers to a natural reaction of language without thinking. It is not a thing, nor is it knowledge, concept or dogma, so it cannot be given, instilled, imposed or transplanted. It can only be trained and cultivated through daily teaching and extracurricular language practice. How to cultivate students' premonition? I think we should pay attention to accumulation in teaching. The following is my experience.
First, accumulate and expand vocabulary.
Language sense needs to be accumulated and is based on a considerable number of words. Poor vocabulary makes it a castle in the air to cultivate a sense of language. Therefore, expanding vocabulary is an important part of every teacher's teaching.
According to the characteristics of children's strong imitation, thirst for knowledge, good memory, light psychological burden and strong desire to express and create, teachers should ask students to read, listen and write English words on the basis of mastering the pronunciation rules of English words, so that students can accumulate and expand their vocabulary. I instruct students to listen to story tapes and sing English songs and nursery rhymes, such as: What do you want to be? By listening, speaking and singing, we can cultivate students' interest, enlarge their vocabulary and form a sense of language.
Second, read more books.
Reading more books is one of the best ways to cultivate language sense, which can accumulate language and enhance language sense. In teaching, most students don't like reading aloud, so they don't form the habit of reading aloud, for fear of making mistakes when they open their mouths. I think students should practice reading aloud from the following points.
1, listening and reading training. This method is to provide students with a pure pronunciation and moderate difficulty. The most suitable listening source is the teaching tape. Therefore, teachers are required to guide students to listen and imitate reading in advance, so that students can develop good reading habits.
2. American reading training. Aesthetic reading of English requires a certain degree of appreciation. It is not a rigid mechanical recitation, but a free-flowing sense of language. At this time, the state is natural, just like when we speak Mandarin, it has reached the level of "words come out of my mouth, meaning comes out of my heart". Seasons, Spring is in Me, Looking for Oriental Eggs, Sports Day, What's Your Hobby, Postman and some fairy tales, which appear in the six English volumes of Fujian Education Edition, are all good materials for American reading training. Give full consideration to the age, psychological characteristics and language learning rules of primary school students, and arrange a large number of games, songs, nursery rhymes, stories and role performances to guide students to learn English in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
(3) Reading training for different roles. Most English texts in Fujian Education Edition are presented in the form of dialogues. Reading in different roles helps students understand the dialogue and communicate in the language they have learned. At the same time, it also cultivates students' cooperative spirit and keeps their interest in reading.
Thirdly, the means of cultivating language sense-multiple memories.
In the primary stage, it is a process of imitation, and imitation first needs a lot of language information input and is based on the accumulation of rich target language corpus. If you want to succeed in foreign language learning, you must have a rich and natural target language corpus and input related knowledge. Without a lot of input, foreign language learning will become passive water. Language sense means that only when a large amount of language information is input, when the target corpus reaches a certain level, learners can output information, imitate and form a natural and smooth language expression. Recitation is the key to the formation of language sense, through the real and practical preparation stage. Recitation is an effective means to concentrate, mass and strengthen the input of language information, and it is also an important form of preparatory speech practice and consolidated language practice. Most of the English texts in Fujian Education Edition are presented in the form of dialogues with little content, so I ask students to recite more in teaching, so that students can really use the language. How to teach students to remember, help them master the tricks of reciting, and let them acquire language in a good context? I use different methods to guide students to recite according to the different contents of the text.
(a) with the help of physical objects. For example, when teaching sweaters, skirts, socks, shirts and other items, we can break through the difficulties in the text according to the items and reduce the difficulty of memory. Through guessing games, students' interest in memory can be stimulated, the classroom atmosphere can be mobilized, and students can recite the text easily.
(2) Use body language to make students think, associate and guess with vivid expressions, funny actions and exaggerated gestures, and mobilize students' participation in various senses. For example, it is obviously used in teaching institutions.
Subparagraph (3). For example, in the universe, the dialogue in this class is longer, and it is divided into several paragraphs to recite, which reduces the difficulty.
(4) Ask questions skillfully, guide students to look at pictures and behave appropriately. Such as: story time cat and clock. Fairy tales can use this method to help students understand the content of the text, so that students can understand the content of the text through thinking, observation and discussion, so that it is easy to recite the text and the story is really vivid.
In teaching, under the guidance of teachers, as long as students concentrate, master the skills of reciting, and have a good attitude, 80% of students will recite it, which will not increase the extracurricular burden of students. Through timely consolidation and review, students' listening, speaking and writing ability can be improved and their learning confidence can be established. When students recite a certain amount, their sense of language naturally increases.
Therefore, our teachers, especially Chinese teachers, should devote themselves to the research of language sense training methods, seek and find ways to train language sense, and work hard for students to form a good language sense. Therefore, as long as teachers persist in their efforts, students can perceive the subtlety of language, gain insight into the essence of language and grasp the language, so the sense of language is the foundation of all languages.
Suggestion 1. Feel the sense of language in listening training.
Listening is a compulsory part of every junior high school English exam, and teachers often conduct listening training in class. If a little guidance is given, it will be of great help to cultivate students' sense of English language. In fact, this is also the use of students' language nerve center to cultivate students' language sense ability. In teaching, teachers should adhere to the teaching principle of "using English as much as possible and using mother tongue appropriately" to reduce students' dependence on mother tongue and the negative transfer of mother tongue to English teaching. This is also a good way to train listening. In class, there are usually many ways to carry out listening training.
1. Listen to the imitation recording and feel the sense of language. At present, junior high school students' textbooks are equipped with supporting tapes and CDs, one for each student, which provides convenient and sufficient demonstration materials for students to practice reading aloud. Teachers should guide and demonstrate students to make full use of these audio-visual materials. At the same time, they should try their best to guide students to listen and watch more in class, and seriously feel the meaningful situational dialogue, so that students can fully feel the standard pronunciation and intonation, meaning group pause, sentence stress and rhythm, and organize students to perform dialogue, read aloud or repeat the text, so that students can fully feel the sense of language within the framework of memory. At the same time, you can also check the effect of students' lectures while listening. If you feel that students are not doing very well, you can slow down your speech appropriately. Individual key phrases and sentences that may affect students' listening can be played repeatedly.
2. Use listening exercises in the listening test. We often use this method in exams. Listening materials are fleeting, so we need to concentrate all our attention and choose useful information to complete the listening questions. Therefore, in the usual listening training, you can ask some questions before listening, so that students can listen in a targeted way. In addition, the selection of listening materials must be gradual and the difficulty should be gradually increased. It is best to choose interesting, comprehensive and knowledgeable materials. Practice has proved that listening is the best way to cultivate students' sense of English language, and it can also strengthen students' listening ability.
Second, cultivate a sense of language in interactive activities.
In fact, this is a relatively simple and direct exercise of language sense, but also an exercise of oral English. To put it bluntly, it is language habit practice. Just like being a China person, you can speak authentic Chinese without even thinking about it. Therefore, English teachers should create such opportunities for students as much as possible, so that students can speak English and feel the pressure to learn English well.
It is the general trend of the development of English classroom teaching to make the classroom full of English breath and create a strong learning atmosphere for students. Increasing students' listening and speaking ability and opportunities in the classroom is an effective way to achieve this goal. Because listening and speaking helps to stimulate interest in learning, help to combine learned sentences with real life, and help to find a sense of accomplishment in learning, students are willing to speak.
For example, from the "duty report", a few minutes of "spoken English" and "free conversation" in each class can not only help students adapt to the English language sense and naturally enter the learning state, but also train students' spoken English. In addition, teachers should adopt a new teaching mode in class, create situations by simulating real language environment, let students play roles and encourage students to actively participate in classroom activities. For example, providing a stage for listening and speaking, giving students the opportunity to play freely, can take many forms, such as making up dialogues, retelling articles, answering questions, discussing topics, singing English songs and so on. These are suitable for students' age and psychological characteristics, and are easy to arouse students' strong interest. It is very helpful to cultivate the habit of listening and speaking imperceptibly.
Third, enhance the sense of language in reading.
1. Pay attention to reading and reciting textbooks. As the old saying goes, "You can read a book a hundred times before you know its meaning." This is the way to learn Chinese. The same is true of English learning. Reading aloud and reciting are the basic methods to cultivate students' sense of language and the premise to improve their listening and speaking ability. Only by reading and reciting more can we better understand the meaning of sentences or articles. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to reading and reciting in daily teaching. Encourage students to read in the morning, ask them to read more and recite more, pay attention to pronunciation, intonation and meaning group pause, and read the meaning and beauty of English. At the same time, students should always be reminded to read aloud and open their mouths. Reading and reciting materials are mainly textbooks. Choosing some well-known English humorous stories, news reports and poems for students to read and recite can cultivate reading hobbies and promote the formation of language sense. In addition, in classroom teaching, teachers should also pay attention to let students answer questions and retell the text in complete sentences, or let students make sentences with the phrases and sentence patterns they have learned. Over time, it is also very helpful to cultivate students' sense of language.
2. Strengthen extracurricular reading. The reading materials that students are exposed to in class are not only limited in content, but also limited in genre, so students must increase their reading volume and increase their chances of perceiving language through extracurricular reading. Reading more books can not only increase the chances of contacting corpus, receiving information, active thinking and increasing intelligence, but also be a good way to cultivate students' thinking ability, improve their understanding ability and enhance their sense of language. Teachers can guide and recommend students to read famous literary works, expose students to real language, cultivate students' habit and ability of thinking in English, and lay the foundation for real communication.
English education is an important part of citizen quality education in the 2 1 century. The purpose of offering English in primary schools is to enable primary school students to cultivate positive feelings in learning English through this course, form a preliminary sense of English language, lay a good foundation in pronunciation and intonation, and have the initial ability to communicate in the English they have learned.
