How to Improve Interest in Learning English

First, infecting students with the charm of teachers can be divided into two types. One is a successful teacher, who enjoys high prestige in the eyes of students, can control students, has good classroom discipline, good teaching effect and excellent teaching results, so he feels good about himself, and has a sense of success and pleasure. The other is unsuccessful teachers. They can't control their students well, and the classroom discipline is a little lax, so they lack a sense of success. Then the former can be an attractive teacher, while the latter is called an unattractive teacher. So how to build the charm of teachers? So how do you use your charm to infect students? I will make the following points: (1) We should have vivid, humorous and passionate language charm. Students often like a teacher's subject because they like him. Teachers should use infectious language to impress students, such as telling an English humorous story before class, which not only stimulates students' interest, but also creates a good learning atmosphere for them. In addition, teachers can slow down or talk to students softly, or deliberately become another person's voice to arouse students' happy feelings and stimulate their learning mood. Students will certainly remember your rich expressions, exaggerated movements and humorous language. In this way, your students will definitely like your English class. (2) Personality Charm and Personality Charm with Love When it comes to teachers, people may think of their similarities, that is, versatility. Some teachers can sing and some can draw stick figures. English teachers can make full use of the first few minutes of class to get closer to students by singing, playing games and doing rhythm. This is the charm of being a teacher. Teachers must give full play to your personality charm. Then the teacher's personality charm is reflected in the encouragement, care and encouragement to every student. Especially when speaking English, don't criticize students because they are too timid to speak or because they are wrong. On the contrary, we should constantly encourage every student so that every student can boldly communicate with others in English. I believe that every child is a potential gifted child. "Only by kissing his teacher will he believe in his way." I believe all your students will like your class very much. Second, how to teach English well (1) to make your classroom full of fun. Primary school English courses should start with cultivating students' interest in learning, give full play to their potential ability, let students actively participate in the whole process of learning, turn learning into a conscious, voluntary and happy thing for students, and let students become the masters of learning. This requires that English teaching in primary schools should be interesting in both content and form in order to attract students' interest. Based on this, according to the content of the text, I designed some activities that can stimulate and guide interest, thus activating the classroom atmosphere and improving classroom efficiency: listening, speaking and doing. For example, after teaching the number 1- 10, I asked my children to take out their basketball. If the teacher's instruction is "ten", the students can kill two birds with one stone by counting in English while patting the ball. For another example, when teaching the body, I let the children play touch games together, that is, the teacher gives instructions and the students repeat the names of body parts while doing actions. For example, the teacher said, "Touch your mouth." The students pointed to their mouths and said, "Mouth, M".

Get out. This is my mouth. "This not only exercises students' listening ability, but also deepens students' memory. Act, talk and sing. Performance is an effective way to learn a language, and primary school students are more eager to show their love. For example, when teaching animals, let children grasp the characteristics of each small animal, read words and do actions, and find the corresponding word card while doing actions. The whole classroom is like a lovely animal park, and the students are particularly expressive and enthusiastic. In teaching activities, I also found that children like singing very much. Therefore, in teaching, teachers can teach some English songs in time, which can not only arouse students' enthusiasm for learning English, but also enhance their memory and enliven the atmosphere. For example, after teaching the English expression of five fingers, teach to sing "Where is thumkin? Students can quickly remember words such as thumkin and Pinky, with twice the result with half the effort. Listen, say and draw. This method can give full play to students' imagination and train students to associate English words with corresponding pictures in their minds, thus enhancing students' ability to distinguish and remember words. For example, while learning words that indicate weather conditions such as heat, cold, rain and wind, guide students to express the meaning of words with simple pictures. For example, wearing a straw hat or shaking a fan means heat, wearing an umbrella or raincoat means rain, wearing a scarf or shaking branches means rain, wearing sunglasses means sunny, and shaking an umbrella means heat and rain ........................................................................................................................... Through this series of activities, we not only consolidated the newly learned words (clothes names), but also reviewed the learned knowledge (colors and orientations). Some teachers often like to make English sentences they want to learn into songs and teach them to sing. Students like this form very much, but sometimes just to cater to the tune of the song will distort the pronunciation of the words, which will lead to students' inaccurate pronunciation, but it will not get good results. Therefore, I think that while improving the classroom fun, we must grasp the opportunity and methods to let children learn the correct pronunciation, words and sentences and experience the joy of learning. (2) Carry out colorful classroom activities. In teaching, through playing games, singing, coloring, cutting and pasting, whole body reaction and other activities, students' interest in learning can be stimulated, their enthusiasm can be mobilized, and a relaxed and happy learning environment can be created for children. Intuitive teaching means seeing is believing.

People always get all kinds of information through their senses. Therefore, vision plays an extremely important role in learning. As the saying goes, "seeing is believing" has prepared various word cards, headdresses, pictures and so on. In the teaching process, let the students see each new word with their own eyes, so that they don't need to spend time explaining the meaning. For example, when I teach fruit words, I make pictures of fruits with my students, let them talk about their favorite fruits and compare who is the king of spoken English. The children are full of enthusiasm and speak very well, and the atmosphere in the classroom is quite active. Finally, let's get to know all kinds of fruits together to help deepen our memory. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and situational teaching. After class, students have no chance to listen and speak, so I give them more opportunities to practice, not to let them study consciously, but to create an "unconscious, stress-free, burden-free" learning atmosphere, so that students can benefit unconsciously. This requires breaking the classroom routine, not limited to the traditional knowledge teaching in the classroom, creating real scenes in the classroom, so that students can acquire a language in a real environment. I'm teaching "I'm sorry. It doesn't matter. " "Are you ready? In this group of conversations, I took advantage of the characteristics that primary school students like to play, and took out a few balls in class to tell everyone that the teacher was going to take you to play ball in this class, and the students all jumped up and were very happy. Then I invited a student to the front. I smiled and asked, "Are you ready?" And try to reveal the meaning from the expression and manner, but don't say it. Prompt the students to answer "yes or no" and then throw the ball to him, deliberately throwing it too high for him to catch. I said sadly, "I'm sorry. And led him and said, "Nothing. "As the activity continues, the same language is used by different students, and students have inadvertently understood the specific meaning of this conversation in the process of repeatedly feeling the language. Then find a receptive student to replace the teacher's role, and then change people constantly, so that the whole class can gradually master this group of dialogues in the process of playing ball. Learn while playing, learn while playing. Playing is a child's nature. I take advantage of this and pay attention to let students learn words slowly in various games instead of rote learning. I show the words I want to master to students in various forms, such as pictures, headdresses, actions and so on. , and penetrate into various forms of games, such as passing cards, doing actions, finding friends, drawing and coloring. By listening and feeling repeatedly in the game, we can deepen the impression in our minds, not only let students devote themselves to the game wholeheartedly, but also reduce their psychological pressure and burden, give students a relaxed and harmonious language environment and make the classroom full of vitality. For example, when teaching the word 1 unit, take out a card and let the students pass it, and the music will stop. Students who get the card should read the words and pass them on. Until everyone knows the word, take out the second card. The teaching of words is done in cheerful games. Sometimes let students sing and play and learn new knowledge. Happy singing will make children forget that they are studying, so that they can learn knowledge more easily. (3) Encourage students to speak English boldly. Once children are criticized, they will feel that they are not good at this subject and will have a fear of this subject, so they will not actively participate in classroom teaching activities. Therefore, we should not only cultivate students' interest in learning English from an early age, but also strive to eliminate children's psychological barriers. As the saying goes, "I am my greatest enemy." Only by defeating yourself can we win. Therefore, in classroom teaching, encouragement is very important for primary school students, so that they can gain a certain sense of accomplishment in the learning process, cultivate children's self-confidence in English, and let them have the confidence to continue learning. When reviewing words in our class, we invited a classmate who seldom spoke in class. He was too nervous to answer. I always looked at him with trusting eyes and said to him, "I believe you." I believe you. When he couldn't answer, I asked other students for help, which carried forward the spirit of friendship and mutual assistance and broke the embarrassing situation that the child couldn't answer. After that, the students encouraged him with warm applause. Since then, he has actively spoken in every class. In the process of teaching, I also prepared various exquisite prizes for students to satisfy their sense of accomplishment and encourage them to study English hard. Third, learning English should cultivate children's ability in the following aspects (1) Listening and speaking ability The role of language is to communicate. The purpose of language teaching is to teach students to use language, especially elementary English teaching. Therefore, English class should be a skill class and a practical class, and the cultivation of students' communicative awareness should be put in the first place. Only when students form the motivation to communicate information and feelings in English in their minds can they have a strong interest and endurance in learning, thus greatly promoting learning. Listening is the premise of communication. The first step in learning a language is listening. Because you can't communicate with others until you understand what others say, in English class, teachers should give students listening training to the maximum extent so that students can not only hear but also understand. What we should do in class is to organize classroom teaching in English as much as possible, and at the same time, we should rely on your expression, the movements of your hands, arms and feet, and everything around us to help students understand what you say and your intentions. Especially in the first class of new teachers, "Hello!" First, use English. I am your English teacher. My name is Cathy. Zhang "and write my name on the blackboard. The students suddenly understood what I meant-I was introducing myself. I continued, "You can call me Cathy. Zhang, do you understand? You got it? The students nodded. Please read after me, Miss Zhang. Through my actions and a little Chinese hints, the students understood what I said and said the first English word. "all right! "I affirmed it in time and introduced myself again and said," Hello! I'm Cathy.Zhang. After repeating it several times, I encourage students to try to introduce themselves. One or two ... students are active and integrated into the classroom teaching, which is simple and catchy for them. Students are easy to accept and willing to accept. Then I called the roll and said with a gesture (palm up), "... please give me Stamp." "hello! ..... "Lead him to answer," Hello! " Then Miss Zhang motioned for him to sit down and said, "Please sit down. "Finally, students can enjoy the English song ABC song. Students are "all ears" in a novel learning atmosphere and find English not difficult to learn. In the first English class, they understood most of what the teacher said, and cooperated with the teacher well, which produced the joy of success and made a good start for their future study. (2) Communicative competence is the key to communication. Make full use of the school English radio station, encourage students in the class to actively participate and strive to be small English broadcasters. (2) Write an English sentence at the school gate every day. (3) You can use the first three points in class. We should provide them with a good communication environment in class. The better the environment, the stronger the atmosphere. We should make them more confident and try to perform the dialogue. In short, teachers should carefully design some activities, such as speaking, singing, games and drawing, to stimulate students' desire to speak English, so that every student has the opportunity to participate in the performance and learn what they have learned. (3) Innovative Thinking Ability Innovative thinking In primary school English teaching, in addition to letting students master basic pronunciation, intonation and writing, it is more important to cultivate students' innovative thinking ability in English, so that students can learn something and become smarter. In the teaching process, teachers should mobilize students' thinking and let them learn, explore and learn English well. In the teaching process, students are not only required to master what they have learned, but also to use it flexibly. For example, when learning nursery rhymes, such as 123, it is a tree, and 456, pick up a stick. Students should be able to replace the things in nursery rhymes with the words they have learned, such as replacing trees with pens, books and erasers. This has achieved innovation. For example, a student wrote: Come, go; Nod yes, shake your head no; Fast is fast, slow is slow; Near is near, far is far; Close to close, open to open; Good is good, bad is bad; Night after night, day after day; First, first, last. Most of the students wrote very well, and the teachers praised them and encouraged them to continue writing. This not only cultivates the flexibility of students' divergent thinking, but also stimulates their interest in learning English. After teaching the nouns of father, mother, brother, sister and other family members, I left the homework for the students: 1, and introduced a family photo. 2. Mom and Dad's job requirements are expressed in body language. What do you want to be when you grow up? After the students were fully prepared, they spoke enthusiastically in class the next day and introduced family photos fluently. Through the students' body language, the whole class can guess what their parents are doing. When asked what they want to be when they grow up, they are more enthusiastic. They said it was the police and gave a military salute to the whole class. Therefore, when asked what kind of person they want to be, they are more enthusiastic.

Fourth, the teaching methods that can be used in English teaching (1) Situational teaching method and communicative conversation method summarize the cross-teaching method of "listening, speaking, reading, writing, drawing, thinking and singing". The following is a brief introduction: Listening: English teaching should not only teach students English language knowledge, but more importantly, teach students to master English language skills. Therefore, many English experts emphasize the importance of "listening before speaking". Specific to the teaching of "listening" in primary school English, it is: "From the aspect of students' learning, we should listen to the teacher's model reading, tapes or other sound media, and also compare the similarities and differences between students and their own pronunciation and model reading; From the perspective of teacher teaching, we should not only listen to the pronunciation of students (especially individual students) to test our teaching effect, but also listen to the standard pronunciation and constantly improve our pronunciation level. "

Speaking: Speaking here includes not only speaking, but also reading aloud. After listening to the model essay and reading it, after internal digestion, you can use "speaking" to express your learning results, which is a major purpose of learning English. Specifically, it is: "From the aspect of students' learning, carefully imitate and follow the letters, words and sentences read by fans, often read what they have learned, and communicate with people in English as much as possible;" "In terms of teachers' teaching, we should insist on teaching in English in class and communicate with students in English as much as possible after class. "

Reading: The "reading" here only refers to "reading" and does not include "reading aloud". Primary school students are generally poor in reading ability because of their small vocabulary. However, we should try our best to create opportunities for students to cultivate the habit of reading from the beginning of learning English, find more English books that match their English level, and consolidate and develop their English knowledge. Specifically, it is: "from the aspect of students' learning, they should always read the texts, dialogues, short stories, short plays and existing simple English books they have learned;" "In terms of teachers' teaching, we should read more books on this major and teaching, enhance our own quality, improve the level of self-written papers, and read more students' exercises."

Writing: Similar to reading, primary school students' writing level is limited, but they can't stop writing completely. We should strengthen the training of "writing" from the beginning on the principle of applying what we have learned, using it while learning, and promoting learning through learning. Specifically, it is: "from the aspect of students' learning, we should do more exercises such as linking words into sentences, revising translation, reading pictures and writing words, keeping diaries and writing short articles;" "From the aspect of teachers' teaching, we should always write short articles for students to read and short plays for performances. "

Painting: Painting can not only improve students' learning enthusiasm and show some students' specialties, but also avoid the interference of their mother tongue as much as possible, so that students can directly combine English with the image of things. In the teaching process, regardless of whether students like painting or not, teachers should praise him more and let students boldly associate and paint, because the purpose of painting here is only to express students' ideas, even if they don't like it, as long as they can be understood. Specifically: "From the perspective of learning, you can use pictures to express the meaning of words you have learned, or use comic books to express the meaning of a sentence;" From the aspect of teaching, stick figure should be used to assist teaching and help students understand. "

Thinking: Although primary school students' cognitive activities are mainly perceptual knowledge, if there is no rational knowledge at the beginning, students often learn very shallowly, even far from the teacher's expectations. Therefore, giving students full opportunities to think will play a "finishing touch" role in their study. Specifically, it is: "In terms of learning, we should always think about' Do you understand what the teacher taught?' What's the difference between your pronunciation and the standard pronunciation? What is the connection between what you are learning now and what you have learned before? How to make learning more effective? And other issues; In terms of teaching, we should always think about' is our own teaching method appropriate?' What is the learning effect of students?' How to achieve the effect in a better way? Wait for questions. Games: The current English textbooks for primary schools have situational dialogues in each class, so students can design a short play for each class to perform. In this way, students' interest in class can be greatly improved. Specifically, it is: "In terms of students' learning, when studying a class, they should study with the purpose of performance. After studying, they should try to participate in performances, so that they can not only learn English knowledge, but also learn to express themselves. In addition, they should take part in extracurricular English activities to exercise their abilities; From the aspect of teachers' teaching, I often take time out to give students performances and coaching performances, often adapt or create English short plays to give students performances, and organize students to carry out extracurricular English activities. "

Singing: English songs with lively rhythm and beautiful melody can not only arouse students' interest and adjust the classroom atmosphere, but also deepen their memory and consolidate their knowledge. Therefore, it is very beneficial to insert some English songs at the beginning, middle or end of each class to improve the classroom teaching effect. Specifically: "from the aspect of students' learning, we should often learn to sing English songs that appear in textbooks or other places, and use old songs and new words to learn English knowledge to remember;" "From the aspect of teachers' teaching, we should master the teaching skills of English songs, such as reviewing at the beginning, adjusting in the middle and consolidating at the end. We should be good at writing relevant teaching songs in the form of old songs and new words, and master the relationship between singing English songs and English teaching. "

An appropriate competition can not only stimulate students' competitive spirit, arouse their curiosity and urge them to study actively, but also teach them to deal with the relationship between cooperation and competition and exercise their ability to cooperate with others. Specifically: "In terms of learning, students should learn how to participate in group activities, how to deal with the relationship with partners and competitors, and how to cooperate with others. Through the competition with classmates; From the aspect of teachers' teaching, we should often design some useful and interesting competitions, such as one-on-one competition, group competition, team competition and so on. Let students participate in it to improve the teaching effect and guide students to learn to cooperate. "

Answer: "Answering people's questions" can organize your own thinking, consolidate what you have learned, and make it more systematic and firm. Specifically: "From the aspect of students' learning, actively answer questions from teachers or others, test their knowledge and exercise their expressive ability;" "From the aspect of teachers' teaching, we should answer every question of students patiently and meticulously, and' teach people tirelessly'. The above ten methods can be combined into many activities besides each single activity, such as the activity of "listening to sounds and writing words" which combines "listening" and "writing"; "Listening, drawing, thinking and speaking" activities combining "listening, drawing, thinking and speaking". In actual teaching, it can be used flexibly according to the teaching needs. What needs to be reminded here is that although the ten activities in the "cross" teaching method and the numerous activities generated from it are of great benefit to the implementation of quality education, the reform of teaching mode and the improvement of teaching effect, the use of these activities must be designed according to the teaching purpose and teaching content, and it cannot be used blindly, otherwise it will get twice the result with half the effort! (2) Game teaching method is to turn the boring language phenomenon into a lively and interesting game form that students are willing to accept as much as possible in teaching. Game teaching method emphasizes students' subjectivity and requires students to participate together. Games serve teaching and are bound to be closely related to teaching. When designing games, we should fully consider the difficulty and other teaching requirements. Teachers can design games according to their own teaching needs and connect with what they have learned. For example, when learning new words, they can play the game "London Bridge is collapsing" and let all the students participate. When singing a sentence, as soon as the music stops, whoever gets stuck on the bridge will recognize the words he learned today. When learning sentence patterns, you can divide the whole class into several groups to play the game of sending messages by train, which group wins and which group takes a red flag, and so on. However, no matter how fun the game is, it is not new to play it a few times. This requires teachers to constantly design new games and constantly renovate the practice of games. For example, the game of "driving a train" takes the form of relay. You can recite letters, count and review words. Ask students to say words or letters casually and pronounce them accurately. This can not only check students' pronunciation, but also give each student an opportunity to express himself and let him actively participate in classroom activities. Another example is guessing games, making phone calls, finding friends, delivering packages and many other games. In a word, only by constantly innovating design can teachers firmly grasp students' interest. Playing games is not only for learning, consolidating what you have learned and invigorating the classroom atmosphere, but also for developing students' intelligence and cultivating their abilities. (3) Using audio-visual media in English teaching, the explanation of abstract concepts is very boring, which often makes students feel unacceptable. Modern audio-visual media provide students with various external stimuli such as sounds and images. These characteristics have unique advantages for foreign language teaching in primary schools, and also provide a broad world for foreign language teaching, which can be used for reference and adoption by teachers. When teaching plural countable nouns, teachers can first demonstrate the appearance of an apple with a microcomputer, display the word of an apple, and then click the mouse to see another apple. At this time, Ann turned red and disappeared, and two apples appeared. After clicking the mouse again, the apple disappears, a pen appears, and Apple's demonstration is repeated. It can make students easily break through the key and difficult points of learning. In short, English learning is a long process, and learners need to work hard. In primary school English teaching, we should combine listening, speaking, reading and writing training organically while ensuring lively and interesting teaching. I hope that with the efforts of every English teacher, our children can learn English well.
