We can write these words ourselves 。 ” 这样,把正确的反身代词 ourselves 告诉了学生。教师又在黑板上边画简笔画边说, “I can draw a tree myself . I can draw a car myself . ” 接着,教师又提问一个学生 “Can you draw a cat yourself ? ” 他在回答时用了 myself .至此,引出了七个反身代词。现在教师引导学生总结反身代词的构成规律,特别指出 himself 、 themselves 是个例外。此时,指出反身代词作主语同位语的用法。 在引导学生进行巩固练习上,教师联系生活实际,提问学生,例如 “Do you do your homework yourself (你自己) /yourselves (你们自己)? ”“Do you go to school yourself ? ” 教师还引导学生进行听、说、读、写、背、交换句型练习。创造语言环境,当学生看图说出 “Mike can find his shoes himself under the bed” 时,情不自禁地为形象的画面所感染,这样就轻松地达到了教学的要求。 2 、加强英语教学设备建设,采用先进手段来组织教学。当今的社会是科学技术迅猛发展的时代,英语教学还停留在原始的教学状态中,已不能适应时代的发展要求。现在一些发达国家的语言教学,普遍采用了先进的教学手段,不仅通过语音室设备、幻灯片、录音机、录像机等来辅助教学,还采用了电脑教学手段、电脑考试手段等等。这些先进的教学设备,特别是电脑教学手段和电脑考试手段,在我国中学英语教学中,还没有得到普及使用。为了大面积地提高中学英语教学质量,必须加强英语教学设备建设,采用先进设备来组织教学。 3 、强化用英语口语讲授,但不排除母语。初一学的汉语习惯已基本形成,母语对英语学习产生的负迁性较大。充分使用英语组织课堂教学,创造外语环境,尽量减少负迁性的作用,无疑是提高英语教学质量的重要环节之一。 教学实践表明,在初一英语教学中有计划地使用英语组织课堂教学,不仅是必要的,而且也是可能的。因为初一只要使用简单的英语,就可以组织学生进行英语训练,而且教学内容比较浅显易懂,易于采用直观手段进行教学,不必处处借助母语翻译。当然,对于抽象意义的单词和结构比较复杂的句子,适当用母语点拨一下,不仅是允许的,而且也是必要的。 4 、采取灵活多样的教学方法,培养学生的学习兴趣。 要使学生产生学习动力,光讲大道理、明确学习目的是不够的,教师还必须使自己的课生动有趣,吸引学生,让学生保持旺盛的学习兴趣。对于起始年级的学生来说,兴趣就是动力。培养学习兴趣是导致学生热爱这门学科的途径,而好的教学方法又是激发兴趣的重要因素。教无趣,必不乐学。学生的学习兴趣很大程度上来自教师的主观努力,这就需要教师通过不断的观察和总结,把培养学习兴趣贯穿于整个教学过程中。教师应注意做好两个方面的工作:一是教案的设计要符合学生的实际情况,周密地考虑到自己所讲的知识将会在学生的头脑中得到怎样的理解,并根据这一特点来确定教法,力争达到教与学的统一。例如,怎样引出新知识、新句型,怎样用同学们熟悉的生活现象去解释一个概念,怎样创造情景,怎样归纳学过的知识等,都要切合学生的实际,才能引起他们的兴趣。二是控制课堂上学生的注意力。我认为,中学外语教学的成败在很大程度上取决于教师是否能在课堂上保持一种生动活泼的教学气氛。只有生动,才能吸引学生的注意力;只有活泼,才符合学生的心理特点,使他们感受到学习的乐趣。一切方法,只要有利于激发学生的兴趣,有利于培养良好的学习习惯,都应该采用。但又必须根据课堂上学生的知识反馈和思维活动情况灵活选择教法,这就需要教师在课堂上不但要注意知识的讲授,更要密切注意学生的思维进展情况,例如,我给同学们讲完 can . must 相互转换的用法以后,立即在会话中进行训练。我问一个同学: “May I use you pen ? ” 回答: “Yes , you may . ” 并把钢笔递给我。接着我又向他 “ 借 ” 尺子、橡皮、小刀,他的回答是相同的,而且越答越快,我突然问道; “May I use your head ? ” 他也脱口而出: “Yes you may . ” 课堂里随即爆发出一阵轰笑,他自己也笑了,并马上纠正说: “sorry . You mustn't . ” 我接着向全班提问: “May I go now ? ” 一位同学站起来回答: “No . you mustn't . ” 我接着问: “Why ? ” 他想了一想说: “We are having a class . ” 当下课铃响以后,我又问另一个同学: “May I go now ? ” 她说: “Yes , you may . ” 我问: “Why ? ” 她道: “The class is over now . ” 此时此刻,我们虽然是在进行练习,但同学们似乎并没有意识到,而是沉浸在语言交际中,并把机械性的练习变成了创造性的练习,学生兴趣很浓,学习效果亦大大提高。 5 、建立融洽的师生关系,创造和谐的课堂气氛。融洽的师生关系有助于创造和谐的课堂气氛,这需要教师在主观上作积极的努力。教师应该是学生的贴心人,了解他们的心理特点,关心他们的学习、身心健康,体谅他们学习英语的难处,善于激励他们。 进入中学的学生心理有一个明显特点是:自尊心强。以学生为主体进行教学就要注意学生的这些特点,确立尊重学生的思想。教师如果认为自己是 “ 大人 ” ,学生是 “ 小孩 ” ,或者歧视差生,就会在行动上自觉不自觉地挫伤学生的积极性。这样,当然无法建立和谐的交往关系。 学生的英语程度参差不齐,教师对差生的态度尤其要慎重,不能放弃对他们的努力。教师要努力寻找他们的闪光点加以鼓励,帮助他们树立信心。给他们介绍一些学习方法的书,并教他们一些改善大脑记忆力的锻炼方法。对于作业出现较多的错误,不是简单用红笔打 “×” ,一概否定,而是把正确的部分划出来,写上 “good point” 或 “good sentence” 之类的表扬话,使他们感到还有希望,从而保持学习的积极性。对差生,还要经常让他们有表现的机会,那怕是点滴的进步都要加以表扬,学生并不是单纯地追求表扬,往往是把老师的表扬看成是对自己的关注和重视,从而激发继续向上的动力。学生进步了,对老师的感情也深了。师生间的融洽关系使学生感觉到课堂气氛轻松,表现出愿意配合老师的教学,使教与学的活动得到良好开展。 6 、教给学生学习方法,培养学生的自学能力。教师不仅向学生传授知识,而且还要注意传授自学方法,并从初中抓起,如教给学生记忆 26 个字母的句子 ----A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 、提供记忆动词 be 的变化歌;教会学生查字典;帮助学生掌握名词复数、第三人称单数形式的规律;用图解法帮助学生理解现在进行时;指导学生建立 “ 做学习有心人 ” 的学习卡片,随时记下单词的合成、转化,派生词和反义、近义、同音词;帮助学生过好音标关,用读音规则来拼写单词;坚持让学生在上新课前,先听录音,模仿正确的语音语调等等。在高中阶段,培养学生拼读单词的能力、构词分析能力和推断能力;帮助学生具有论证能力、概括能力和阅读能力;以及提高学生对句法分析的能力。在句法分析的能力上,提醒学生以求正确理解,否则就难免差之毫厘,失之千里。例如,有些学生把 I should like to be in formed when you will be free .错译成: “ 当您有空的时候,我很想请您告知我一下。 ” 因为他们把 when you will be free 看作是时间状语从句,实则这里是 in formed 的宾语从句,全句的意思是: “ 我很想请您告知我您何时有空。 ” 可见培养学生的句法分析能力对自学十分重要。 综上所述,要提高中学英语课堂教学质量,教师必须在课堂教学上下功夫,克服存在的主要问题,采取相应对策。同时,学生也要配合教师的课堂教学,认真听课,提高课堂学习质量。只有双方的共同努力,中学英语课堂教学才能取得好效果。

II Activities should be a dominant type of classroom, there are students interested in music to participate in the activities, teaching design attaches great importance to activities designed to enable students to move up; Should be a focus on cultivating the ability to learn basic knowledge learned in the classroom as a supplement; Benefit the students the basic knowledge of basic skills learned primarily by students under the guidance of the teachers actively explore their own Therefore, the inquiry-based teaching model to be Interactive Construction of a wide range of modern information technology-assisted platform for students, teachers and students in the exchange of information The twenty-first century is dominated by information technology century, the popularity of the application of computers to society, science and technology has brought an unprecedented development, but also to bring about education reform in history I am substitute teaching during the holidays, the timely selection of appropriate media to support teaching, so that the image of a specific "map, text, sound, like" to create a teaching, so that the contents of the abstract concrete, clear, and the thinking of students active, interested abundant, can help students learn to play the initiative, positive thinking, better training of students in the capacity of independent First, using multi-media into new courses to stimulate student interest in learning new Russian writer Leo Tolstoy Great said: "The success is not compulsory for teaching needs, but to stimulate interest in " Are often interested in the pilot study, there has been interest in the power of Classroom is like a beautiful wonderful article, written at the beginning, readers will be able to attract experienced teachers pay more attention to import new Fine lead classroom, this lesson will enable students to love at first sight, the effect of the head start, like a magnet as soon firmly seize the spirits of students, arousing their desire for knowledge, so that every student can be actively thinking for himself, such as to the For example, students learn to me and "S Valentine's Day", the use of multi-media show pictures of the Valentine's Day and music, at the beginning, the students live on the screen by those attracted to a hundred times the natural spirits, by the gradual change in these pictures and thought, the whole class, students are actively thinking and answer questions, do not have a lazy doze off students, the classroom filled passion, has received very good Of course, teaching is different from the lead taken by the design is different, regardless of which way we will be designed to stimulate students interest in the purpose of mobilizing students emotional, a lesson for a start to do a good
