Reflecting on English

Answer 1

The importance of English in teaching, learning, and the education system is worth reflecting on.

* * 1. Teaching **
1. * * Questions in the public lecture **
- * * Focus on "output" over "input"**: In public English classes, some teachers put too much emphasis on the interaction in the communication-based teaching, such as increasing classroom activities, but they ignore the basic elements of language knowledge imparting, which is the cultivation of communication skills. For Chinese students, there was a lack of an English communication environment. If they ignored language knowledge teaching in class, such as spending a lot of time on meaningless discussions, games, and performances, it would lead to the inability to effectively improve their language knowledge and ability to use it.
- * * Misuse of encouragement and praise **: Some teachers use a single motivational language in the classroom, such as frequently using "Good" and "Very Good" or excessively rewarding students with physical objects. Although the English curriculum reform emphasized respect and appreciation for students, excessive and baseless praise would lose the meaning of evaluation and cause students to lack deep participation in learning activities. Teachers should pay attention to the variety of comments, use hierarchical evaluation and reasonable error correction methods, and use more expectant evaluation.
- * * Cooperation has form but no substance **: There is a problem with group cooperative learning in English class. In order to pursue the form of group activities, some teachers did not carefully design questions, did not guarantee the time for discussion, and did not play the role of a guide, causing students to discuss passively. They did not understand the meaning of the questions and could not achieve equal communication and communication.
2. * * Overall Teaching Reflection **
- * * Teaching should be systematic and coherent **: For example, in junior high school English teaching, the third grade should pay attention to whether the language skills obtained in the first and second grades can continue to develop. Teachers should standardized the curriculum into specific requirements and implement them in every class. They should improve the efficiency of teaching, pay attention to the art of teaching, stimulate students 'interest, clarify students' learning goals at all stages, and strengthen supervision and inspection.
- * * Teaching students according to their aptitude and guiding self-study **: Students in different environments have differences, such as the attitude and self-awareness of middle school students in urban and rural areas. Teachers should cultivate students 'good learning habits, let students distinguish between learning priorities and master learning methods. At the same time, they should also realize that English teaching should be based on students' self-study. Teachers should teach more and guide students to develop self-conscious learning habits.

* * 2. Learning **
1. * * Study habits and attitudes **
- Some students had poor learning self-awareness, such as delaying reciting words, relying on teachers to complete exercises, and memorizing by heart without knowledge connection, which led to poor performance in the exam. Students should develop good study habits, such as previewing before class, listening attentively in class, practicing seriously after class and taking the initiative to ask for advice.
- Learning English required long-term accumulation. Students had to be clear that learning English was not a short-term activity. They had to be clear about their priorities in their daily studies, especially in English subjects and lay a good foundation.
2. * * Learning Method **
- * * Pay attention to the all-round development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing **: In high school English learning, the teaching materials emphasize that students should use their mouth and hands. Students should actively participate in classroom conversations, discussions, and speeches to improve their communication skills. Among the four skills, listening and speaking should take the lead, and reading and writing should be gradually added.
- * * Focus on memorizing sentences and articles **: Mechanical memorization of words cannot really improve your English level. Remember to memorize sentences and sentences. Reading and reciting the texts that he had learned helped to cultivate his sense of language, improve his oral language, pronunciation, intonation, reading ability, and so on.
- * * Pay attention to revision **: There are many points of English knowledge and a lot of memorization is required. Students can make use of the law of forgetting to review in time. They can listen more, read more, and try to recall and recite more to improve the review effect. At the same time, listening and reading skills should be improved through long-term practice. For example, listening to English for 5 - 10 minutes every day to improve listening skills, reading a lot to improve reading skills and accumulate vocabulary.

* * 3. The importance of English **
