Skillfully using the first three minutes of class can be used as a breakthrough to improve teaching methods, enhance students' interest in learning and improve teaching quality.
Generally speaking, when the bell rings before class, students should quickly return to class and do a good job of preparing for the next class, but on the contrary, they always have a special preference for recess, showing that they are reluctant to part, and even some students are immersed in it, happy. If we teachers start class and invariably "Today we will learn a new text together, please open the textbook x x page... "Then, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of" words earnestly and listeners earnestly "in the classroom. It is difficult to pull students back to class in a very short time, but pre-class language activities can make their attention quickly transferred to language learning, but also enhance students' interest in learning. In addition, through this activity, it can also exercise students' courage and improve students' oral expression ability. So, how do you start this campaign? In my opinion, there are three main points:
First, teachers should give students enough confidence and courage.
As the saying goes, "a good beginning is half of success", the teacher should give students full encouragement, help students establish self-confidence, and clearly require students: natural attitude, loud voice, clear expression. And the first three minutes of oral training, everyone must participate, without exception. Students know that there is no way out, but also have to go forward.
Second, the content and form of activities in the first three minutes of class should be diverse and colorful.
As the saying goes: interest is the best teacher. Only by effectively stimulating their interest can we get the desired effect. At the beginning, they were very excited and highly motivated, the so-called "one minute on the stage, ten years of success off the stage". For this wonderful moment, they tried their best before class, want to show in front of the students, although I did not recognize their performance at first, after the stage, the expression is not natural, the language is hesitant, the voice is low as mosquitoes, can not do as I want, so I even doubt whether they do their best, my method is effective. However, later I learned from the feedback information of the students that how they forgot to eat and sleep for this performance, and how they held the students, practiced over and over, and even reached the point of blurting out, but their brains were blank on the stage, and they were very lost and full of emotions after stepping down.
After long-term practice, their oral expression ability has been improved significantly, which has greatly enriched their extracurricular language life, cultivated their ability to collect and summarize materials, exercised their courage and enhanced their self-confidence. Indeed, many good works have emerged. Later, I determined that I could tell stories, tell jokes, ask riddles, recite, say news, introduce a quote from my own aphorism, read a diary or practice writing, go out of class to correct non-standard advertising signs and so on. In this way, the form is rich, and the interest of students is naturally strong. What they need most in their heart is understanding, expression and communication, and the opportunity to express themselves. This not only improves students' oral English level, but also forms the habit of collecting extracurricular materials and enrichis students' knowledge. It can adjust the students' psychological environment and enter the learning state as soon as possible. It can change the dull rigidity of traditional teaching, give students new ideas, and stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning; It can increase the interest and vividness of classroom teaching, which is conducive to students' better involvement in learning. Can increase knowledge, broaden horizons, cultivate sentiment, improve ability... Develop the quality of students in all aspects.
Third, teachers must respect the enthusiasm of students and create a democratic and harmonious atmosphere.
The great educator Suhomlinsky said: "Life is a powerful and invincible treasure, but also a fragile and often helpless, easily damaged treasure, sometimes there will be such a situation, just a cold word, an indifferent look, is enough to tear a thin lifeline." "In the classroom, the education of the student is the work of the delicate touch of one's mind with the mind of another." Teaching is a conscientious job, and no one is always watching you and telling you what to do and what not to do, but we all know what to do and what to say in front of the eager eyes of our students.
In the activities of students, I always give them full respect, no matter how they behave, I never interrupt and encourage them to express their opinions boldly. I remember that once, a female student who had always been a Luo Luo and dared to say something was holding her manuscript in a kneaded hand and walked onto the platform unnaturally. "My God, the title of my speech to you is' Hazy Love '..." Before the words were finished, the students laughed very sensitively, and the female student's face became redder in their laughter, a little afraid to read, and covered her face with her manuscript. I stopped the students and encouraged her to continue. But the content is not as the students imagined. She wrote that her cousin on the first, second grade when the academic performance is very good, but to the third grade and a male classmate in the class fell in love, the results plummeted, did not graduate from junior high school went home, and finally married to the province. A long time ago, my cousin came back because she could not go down in the provinces, my cousin said she regretted falling in love at the beginning, and asked her to learn a lesson, do not go wrong, and study seriously. After reading this article, my classmates and I all gave her warm applause. I let the students make comments because of the potential guidance, and created an atmosphere for them, so that students can think, understand, feel and improve themselves in this atmosphere, which has played a good effect.
In short, three minutes before class can adjust students' psychological environment and enter the state of learning as soon as possible; It can change the dull rigidity of traditional teaching, give students new ideas, and stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning; It can increase the interest and vividness of classroom teaching, which is conducive to students' better involvement in learning. Can increase knowledge, broaden horizons, cultivate sentiment, improve ability... Develop the quality of students in all aspects. Therefore, our Chinese teachers must attach great importance to and seriously carry out this activity.
