PowerPoint in English teaching application

PowerPoint in English teaching application
Informationization is the world's economic and social development trend, network and multimedia technology is the core of information technology has become the human ability to expand creative tools. In recent years, the application of multimedia in the teaching of more and more attention by teachers, this is for English classroom teaching reform note into the new vitality. In the 21st century, we have entered the era of digital information technology education, optimize the teaching, multimedia and visualized high-capacity characteristics make classroom teaching becomes lively, fully mobilize the learning interest of the students, strengthening the study enthusiasm, it to improve teaching quality. In everyday English teaching of electronic media: recorder, VCD, language lab, projectors, TV, computer, etc. These electronic equipment for English teaching and providing a broad range of simulation and imaginary space, enables the student to 40 minutes in limited, more knowledge, enables the student to have the passive to active, more effective for the completion of the teaching task. Classroom teaching is only stay in if the traditional teaching mode, certainly can not adapt to the modern teaching request, will also be consigned. We need to ", to listen to, saying that "teaching mode. If use modern teaching tools, can realize the English class students actively participate and harmonious development of efficient and active. PowerPoint can well realize this dream. Therefore, there is an urgent need to fight in the first educators - teachers, master of multimedia technology, especially in the teaching of English teachers master PowerPoint application. To improve the quality of English teaching will be wasted effort.PowerPoint software is widely application Windows environment demo authoring tools software. It provides a powerful authoring tools, it contains more than 100 template, these templates are expert design demonstration, teachers can choose a template as the basis, and slide according to their own needs to make some changes in the input the presentation, this will make up more than all start to facilitate easier to simplify the process of preparing teachers.PowerPoint slides can have each Title, (add), the text (Test), Graphs, rendering graphics (objects), geometry Object () (), clip art Shape ClipArt images (by) and other applications to create all sorts of charts, graphics, etc. Using PowerPoint control functions, connected directly to the big screen projectors demo, produce a kind of book, rich and colorful, the man-machine interactive way for teaching process is important.First, it effectively arouse the students' interest in study, and make students produce strong learning desire, thus forming learning motivation. Students have active participation, not all arranged by the teachers and students can passive acceptance. According to the cognitive learning theory, knowledge of people not to external stimuli directly, but the internal and external stimuli psychological processes interact to produce, must exert students' initiative, enthusiasm, can obtain the effective recognition. This initiative is for students' initiative and enthusiasm of creating good conditions, which can truly reflect the students' cognitive function.Second, PowerPoint presentation outside stimulation process for the diversity of knowledge acquisition and maintain. Experimental psychologists tradex chek pull done two famous psychology experiment, is a source of information about human beings. He through a lot of experiments confirmed: human getting information from the vision, 11 percent from hearing, combined have 94%. He's another experiment is too lasting memories that keep knowledge, the result is that people can remember oneself read the contents of 10%, 20% of the content, hear your content of 30%, you can see and hear the content in the course of the exchange, 50% what oneself 70% of the content. This means that, if can hear and see, then through discussion, communication, in their own language expression, knowledge is superior to the traditional teaching greatly will maintain the effect. Using PowerPoint teaching process is not only very for knowledge acquisition, and is helpful to maintain knowledge.Third, in English classroom using PowerPoint PowerPoint forenglish can through the cultivation of students' imagination to training students' creative thinking. The school education should aim at cultivating the students' thinking ability of English teaching activities, and also is such. To improve English learning efficiency, he must rely on thinking activity, comprehensive thinking in English, to grasp the essence, also only through positive thinking activity to the county problems and solve problems. Imagination is the source of creation, imagination is more important than knowledge, imagination is to promote the practice of creative people, all the necessary condition of creative thinking is inseparable from the imagination. Without imagination without creating, therefore, we should be in the classroom teaching students in using a variety of methods, such as the rich think force, lets the student speak viewing pictures, composition, role playing, creative, repeat story story, training students' imagination and creativity. For example in learning, bother, autumn, are it cloudy and rainy, sunny, etc, and the four seasons of reasonable imagination, describing the scenery. The students thought very active in summer, the scenery, the students build a following these sentences.It 's connected hot in bother, if We go swimming in skits. We bother It rains be by It. We have ice - showery bother going in' d like a long cool in places or in the air conditioners - rooms paintings.So both deepened the understanding to bother with memory, and other related to review the word, also exercise their oral expression ability, more inspired their imagination. Any subject all can not ignore students' thinking training, to spread and the thinking of compressibility, thus into classroom training students' thinking agility, the acquisition of knowledge, consolidate and expand, combining optimization classroom teaching. Therefore using multimedia teaching, not only such slides can improve students' attention and interest in English, can expand capacity, quicken the pace classroom teaching, students in limited time gain more knowledge.Fourth, in English classroom using PowerPoint PowerPoint forenglish can cultivate students' innovation spirit. To cultivate innovative spirit and practice ability of quality education is the key to the theme of the education reform, the classroom teaching is to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practice ability of main position. Combining the teaching content, to introduce students to English and American national culture and custom'm fairy tales, English, show students of English, dull, wonderful, help students to unravel the mysteries of innovation, and realize the innovation is mysterious, fostering students' innovative courage. In the teaching of using PowerPoint flickering effect, but the dynamic processing need skill. Animation is attracting audiences, and make more outstanding, more eye-catching audience, not for sensationalistic. So in design slides, slide transitions, from the definition animation, setting technology is very important, what kind of dynamic effect into a new topic or solutions. If is the key to highlight text, use blinking effect, If you are reading a text, use right erasing effect, If you want to control the tempo, word set by letters "mode.". Through this kind of function and PowerPoint can inspire, induction and encourage students from various angles, to find the answer to the question, bold published different opinions, cultivate students actively seeking a creative thinking ability, so as to develop students' innovative consciousness.Such as "Time", teach a lesson, using multimedia demo, see through the wide variety of horological, illustrated, rich and colorful, arouse students' curiosity. Make students in a short time, realize the importance of studying and mastering of time. Design of different regions in the same time lag of courseware, lets the student that in time to consolidate the expression, understand the world, stimulate the learning interest of the students, and make students into the state, to induce happy desire. Innovative Be like again, in practice courseware design, through a variety of forms (the symbol, voice, text, etc.), lively and interesting when the student answers, the computer screen will appear LaoYa tang "smile" and "Christmas" or connected a warm applause, Students answer a mistake, the computer can send a strange voice, will also encourage students to "maps, loved it matter." isn't it not discouraged, try again." . For example, in the teaching "Colours" a class, doing exercises, I consolidation by computer design of different colors, seeds, lets the student according to computer tape hint of color choose seeds, if choose wrong, the ground will appear a monster said: "I was eaten, the seed of time; please again." If you pick the right on the ground, the color of the flower and the issue of "connected" good!! The voice, the only way to give students actively encourage frequently and evaluation, enables the student to feel oneself is a winner, students can consciously to innovation, improve level of innovation self-consciously.But in the process of teaching the PP, teachers should be avoided, so some disadvantages.A, blindly pursuing in English classroom demonstration effectIn multimedia assisted teaching process, the teacher should still plays a leading role in English class, the teacher is the role of the computer, some function cannot replace. Such as: the first few minutes of English classroom teachers on duty report or listening, oral communication is a great way of training. In pursuit of multimedia courseware of land in the classroom, the teacher tells the display of the part to the media. Sometimes it is also an excellent comparison with large media demo as a prerequisite. However, we must be clearly aware that English is a kind of practical language classroom discipline, must pass of the English language communication between teachers and students. Students to use English language communication ability to get develop. We should remember: any time we are to teaching and use tools, rather than to use tools and teaching. Therefore, the number and timing PowerPoint presentation should depend on English teaching.Second, with screen instead of the blackboardSome of the teachers of English to the computer display as before, the training materials, questions and answers, and even the entire lesson plans are made using PowerPoint slide show. Do according to teaching progress is to create content and writing, to adjust and modify. And, instead of using the display, on the one hand, easy cause visual perception; students' Also because of the screen display, enables the student to the text of the overall perception affected, In another aspect, make timely establishment scene guide the student to carry on the practice becomes difficult to master English language. Anyhow, display completely replace the blackboard, not only lost, but also cannot play helps us to solve the problems in teaching.Three, use PowerPoint made students' thinking and courseware insteadNow, most of English coursewares focused on audio animation production, it sets the animation and sound in the teaching material, through the form to students in animation, increase students' visual effect, more vivid sense of language teaching material to show, students of entertainment-such strengthened, help students to understand the content and dialogue. But ignore one problem is: it is just to get the scene and spoken language show students, it can not instead of the student's thinking, can't replace the students in teachers create scenarios using English communication practice, it will be difficult to adapt our English class on the implementation of quality education, and actively participate in the brain, harmonious, efficient, discussion questions actively developing. Therefore, in order to give class more modernized teaching atmosphere, not blindly use of courseware.Above 3 by means of teaching is teaching, to optimize teaching, and received good teaching effect, in teaching English often use multimedia teaching, and - PowerPoint organization in the practice exploration, continuous improvement, innovation and improvement of teaching PowerPoint.To sum up, through teaching practice using electronic means, follow the students' psychological, innovative education main position - classroom teaching, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of student, lets the student active participation, actively explore voluntarily, establish, students' awareness of innovation. I realized that teaching method with traditional teaching media, can make students appropriately at the same time to learn more and faster and better. Electronic means of teaching contents, vivid image, infectious, help students to develop the knowledge, intelligence and cultivating ability, it makes the classroom teaching contents, get substantial change the traditional teaching mode, optimize the teaching process, to promote teaching reform, improve the quality of teaching effect.
