In the practice of English teaching, I understand the difficulties and problems in English teaching in higher vocational colleges. Due to the poor English foundation, low learning enthusiasm and lack of self-confidence, students in secondary vocational schools are seriously polarized. Because of the different purposes of entering the school, they basically have no desire to learn. Therefore, the practice of English teaching and learning is extremely difficult to carry out, and it is often in a state of passive learning and coping. In view of the above situation, as an English teacher, how to spend time and energy to mobilize students' learning enthusiasm has become a top priority. In view of the characteristics of vocational high school students and vocational education, I think English teaching in vocational high schools should pay more attention to introductory teaching, which plays an important role in enhancing students' self-confidence and cultivating the persistence of learning. We can cultivate students' interest in learning and improve learning efficiency by stimulating interest, emotional input and mobilizing subject participation.
First, interest stimulation method 1, to stimulate interest, eliminate concerns, and let self-confidence accompany each student.
Educator ushinski said: "Compulsory learning without interest will stifle students' desire to explore the truth. "Our modern educational practice also fully shows that cultivating good interest is an important link to reduce the burden on students and promote the sound development of students' personality. It can be said that there is no thirst for knowledge without interest.
Regardless of the previous junior high school or the current primary school, students are very interested in learning English for the first time. However, with the increasing difficulty of learning, from time to time, they will not understand grammar and remember words, and even some students can't even learn phonetic symbols. Gradually, these students lose confidence in learning English, fear difficulties and even give up learning English. Therefore, rekindling students' interest in learning is an urgent task for vocational high schools. The first step to stimulate interest is to boost students' morale.
In order to build confidence, teachers should be patient and start teaching from the most basic knowledge points. Moreover, when guiding students to read and memorize words, we must teach certain spelling rules. For students who have made progress, we should constantly praise and encourage them in class to enhance their learning enthusiasm. After laying a solid foundation, teachers are required to adopt novel and "exciting" teaching methods. For example, at the beginning of each class, let a student (according to his student number) do it in English.
Duty report "or" story telling "
"Training, in order to promote students' written preparation before class and the ability of oral expression practice in class. This not only gives students a way to accept knowledge, but also accelerates their learning speed in active classroom learning. Sometimes, I also describe some important news I saw on TV and in the statement to students in English. Over time, students' listening and speaking ability can naturally be improved. With the progress, students' interest in learning English will naturally form. 2, from shallow to deep, step by step, so that difficulties are far away from each student.
Any kind of learning activity is a gradual process, especially English learning. When you start learning, just like a child learning words, from "Good morning! To "Good morning! "flowers" some flowers
"and so on. In this way, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, the slope of learning is reduced, and students feel that learning English is not difficult, but a very interesting thing, so that students can learn it much more easily. 3. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and at different levels, so that success belongs to every student.
The phenomenon of "polarization" has always been a big problem in English teaching, which has always troubled every teacher and student. In order to avoid this phenomenon, teachers should adopt the method of hierarchical teaching in class and actively coach students outside class. English classroom teaching should be geared to all students. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is an important aspect of quality education. Teachers can divide classroom questioning and exercises into three levels: difficult, medium and easy, and ask students of different levels to answer questions with different difficulties. For example, when I ask a question about the weather, I ask the top students:
"Asked the underachiever.
"Is the weather good today?"
In this way, every student can experience success and enter the classroom in a good state. exist
"acting dialogue"
In the column, students of different levels can play different roles. "Leading role", "supporting role" and "narration", and they often match the corresponding language, movements and expressions according to the content and their own characteristics to make the performance more vivid, lively and vivid. Through this teaching method, every student can feel more sense of accomplishment and less frustration, especially those underachievers, and their confidence will be rebuilt through praise again and again.
Second, the emotional education law
In the practice of teaching methods, every teacher should attach importance to the emotional induction of students.
Give full play to its educational function. Only by respecting students can we educate them.
Without respect, there can be no real education. Practice has proved that teachers' language, expression, eyes and behavior are all media of emotional communication, which have a profound influence on students' learning attitude. Therefore, emotional education can start from the following two aspects: 1, dilute the consciousness of teachers and students, and create a harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
Practice teaching shows that students are generally shy when learning English for the first time, afraid of making mistakes, not to mention vocational high school students who have already learned English, and lack initiative and enthusiasm. If English teachers want to change this phenomenon and speak, they must eliminate students' shyness and fear of mistakes, so they should dilute the relationship between teachers and students in the classroom. It is not easy for students to speak boldly in class, let alone speak in English. In order to help them overcome their psychological timidity, we need to provide them with a more relaxed environment. Teachers should communicate more with students in peacetime, so that students can regard teachers as their friends, not strict teachers who only look up. With these teacher-student relationships, students will be fearless in class, and there will be a good democratic relationship between teachers and students, which will be of great help to students' learning, make them realize that they are equal to teachers, and make them feel that teachers are not only the disseminators of knowledge in class, but also the respectable elders in their lives or big friends who can help them. This can well stimulate students' emotional factors, arouse students' enthusiasm for learning, and help students overcome their fears and fears of difficulties, so that students can dare to ask questions from teachers, express their ideas and seek knowledge independently. For example, in an English class, I found a student lying on the table. In order to understand the reason, I asked in English.
What's the matter? ""Don't you feel sick? You'd better not sleep, or you'll catch a cold? "These simple questions not only reflect the teacher's care for students, but also enable students to reflect in the teaching followed by the teacher, and also enable other students to concentrate invisibly and improve the efficiency of classroom teaching. 2. Pay attention to teachers' teaching attitude and establish a good teacher image.
In the eyes of students, teachers should be their role models in all aspects. Teaching attitude should be natural, decent and solemn. With the progress of the times, teachers' teaching attitude is integrated with students in the teaching process. This will help attract students and teachers to teach courses. Because they don't like the teacher in the classroom, they are often tired of the lessons he teaches. Knowing this, teachers should pay attention to their own image and teaching attitude in class and do everything possible to mobilize students' learning enthusiasm with their own image. 3. Subject participation method
English is a practical tool course. If students want to master the basic knowledge of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar and have the ability to use English initially, they must guide their own language practice and cultivate their ability to use language in practice. I think "subject participation" learning activities are very helpful to stimulate students' interest and carry out emotional communication. The so-called "subject participation" means that under the guidance of the teacher's object, students can have a harmonious emotional dialogue between the subject and the object, and through the English practice exchange between the subject and the object, students' interest in learning can be promoted and the quality of classroom teaching can be improved.
Therefore, in classroom teaching, I constantly ask students to make sentences, look at pictures, speak and write, ask questions about the text, tell stories, have situational dialogues, role play and so on. This not only stimulates students' imagination and engages in creative activities, but also fully embodies the communicative characteristics of English teaching and increases the language exchange between teachers and students. It has truly reached the highest teaching realm of "using middle school to apply what you have learned", enabling students to exert their creativity in active activities and truly gain the ability to use language.
In short, to do a good job in English teaching in vocational colleges, we must first learn to understand the characteristics of vocational college students and vocational education. Secondly, we should strengthen emotional input, have emotional dialogue with students, attach importance to classroom teaching art, and stimulate students' interest in learning English. Only in this way, I believe that our teaching can win the "sincere input" of students.
