English culture of self-learning ability

Over the years, English language teaching in primary and secondary school teachers in the process of taking up the majority of classroom teaching time, the language bit by bit to impart knowledge to students, students passively listening, remember that back and do a lot of repeated exercises. They are not the main language, but the object of knowledge. This is the language teaching methods so that students in the long-term status of passive learning, lack of student self-learning ability, teaching is often not high efficiency.
The purpose of English language teaching to students first create a good learning strategy, the ultimate goal of teaching English are: sustainable development for students and lay a good foundation so that students with the ability of life-long learning, which in order to fundamentally improve the efficiency of English teaching requires teachers teaching in the study at the same time, more research-oriented students, in particular, we should pay attention to the students the ability to self-study training, so that the current knowledge of the students in the course of the "Society" to "learn" . Students learn a number of well-established little is known about the role of strategy, let alone use, and self-study there is still a considerable distance. Therefore, as an English teacher, teaching in English is important to note the following points so that they can play a productive effect.

The first chapter in teaching word learning strategies training.

Vocabulary in foreign language teaching plays an important role, regardless of a person's grammar is much better, regardless of his beautiful voice, there is no certain terms, learners can not learn to use the syntactic structure of effective communication. Thus, vocabulary learning is the basis of second language acquisition. However, due to an error on the vocabulary learning that language learning vocabulary is the most simple matter. Vocabulary teaching has been ignored, teachers have to fight with a simple reading, writing, recording a single and boring teaching methods. For most students, however practice has been adopted for the "rote" approach, which the accumulation and expansion of vocabulary at the same time has become the most difficult. Word learning is entirely self-study, therefore, stimulate students a sense of the word self-study is particularly important, teachers should focus on: the word no longer effective teaching vocabulary accumulation and expansion of the strategy to students to use strategies effectively accumulation and expansion of vocabulary, in order to lay a solid foundation for English language learning.

Section I of the awarding of new words

In the course of English language teaching, especially the beginner stage, to make full use of visual aids. For example: 1. The table of the word, it is the English spelling of "table", can be said, pointing to the table "table, table is the table." As revealed by the physical book, pencil, desk, such as word, revealed by the model car, bus, plane, etc. Meaning, with action to explain sit, stand, jump, such as the meaning, use gestures to explain here, there, this, such as the meaning. In the absence of physical and model of the interpretation of available pictures.
2. The method of play. Can learn the new words written on the blackboard, so that several students are divided into several groups, a student book, find a classmate to see who the fastest touch, the last students to be eliminated is the winner, the game is not only training students the ability to listen, but more importantly is its ability to attract the attention of the students come. In addition, teachers in the teaching of the word, to be always saying the word, that word learning and the combination of pattern drills. Professor If the word family can have students learn to use words and sentence patterns to carry out an activity "introduce my family", teachers can do a model: I have a big family. I love my family. There are five persons in my family. These strategies help students oral communication skills, repeated practice at the same time also deepened the students the impression that the word family.

Section II of the memory word

Teachers should remind students to keep the memory of vocabulary words is not only the structure, should also include the meaning and usage of the word. So when word review, teachers will be regularly available to classify the word, can make use of certain terms, such as from the word, it may be the same type of words together in mind: such as red, black, yellow and other color words; from the term structure, can be similar to the structure of the combined words in mind: such as wear, bear, hear, etc.; from the usage of the word, it can be similar to the use of the word classified as a class: If finish, imagine, enjoy, fancy, etc. Gerunds are only then do object, so that it would facilitate the students some memory.

Section III of the word detection

Examination of the vocabulary of students does not necessarily have to pass the exam, dictation, etc., and these methods are often easier for students to "cram" the old, so teachers can do through individual and collective game, in a relaxed atmosphere to be effective review and consolidation. Such as "steal time the word": the collective is divided into several groups to carry out competition; "word Solitaire": such as red-duck-kite --- enemy and so on; "split word chain: chain of teachers to produce a word, such as theredoorunder, require students to in a certain period of time will be up to the word chain is split into words, such as he, the, here, her, there, red, door, or, run, under such; "speech to find the word": Teachers are given a word, ask students to According to the words in the letters to form a new word, the word up to see who the composition, such as the late letters of the word can be formed are: a, at, ate, let, tea, these word tests so that students in inspected at the same time learned a different strategy.

The second chapter in the cooperative learning in the cultivation of learning strategies infiltration.

Group learning is a teaching strategy, but it is also to be acquired by learners as learning strategies. Group learning allows equal participation of every student to learn and to speak and express themselves fully of the opportunity. Modern education is the most important characteristics of the main body of people to promote and advocate the adoption of the learning process of students actively participate, to develop their own sense of autonomy and self-study habits, making it a specific personality of the main people, in order to foster lifelong learning English their own self-learning ability.

Section I started teaching cooperative learning.

Cooperative learning to encourage students to think and take the initiative to take the initiative to explore, the enterprising student awareness, sense of innovation and competitiveness can be strengthened to better. Group classroom learning into the classroom teaching of natural design, the teaching of teachers in the classroom should be a conscious focus on teaching content and the creation of the context to facilitate the exchange group or the scene to guide the students in group activities in the divergent, creative thinking. Such as: Hobbies in teaching a class, teachers may require the study group focusing on "What's you hobbies?" And "Why do you have these hobbies?" To start the exchange.
To carry out group discussions as a form of cooperative learning, teachers should be properly induced. In the teaching process, teachers should be good at grasping the topic of interest to students, teachers can design a question: What's you attitude towards televisions? Is it good or bad? Why? Such problem is the problem of daily life, students naturally have words can say. Teachers can organize a panel discussion at this time, the effect of a certain good. Teachers can also be whole class is divided into two major groups to debate on this issue.
Group cooperative learning can also be extended to after-school learning to, for example: arrangement of words between members of the team dictation, reading and reciting texts, conversation and written exercises and other operations.

Section II of the Teaching for Learning Points

(1). Cooperative learning before:
Learning is the students and teachers and students, common activities, learning activities are designed to not only acquire knowledge and skills, but also the formation of cooperation relationships. Teachers in the event must be members of the group to study a clear requirement for the cooperative learning students actively play its role as a team. Cooperation in the group learning process, learning objectives common to the personal interests of team members with the group closely linked to the collective interest, in order to achieve common learning goals, division of labor between team members and help each other learn from each other, so that the study group activities in a harmonious atmosphere.
(2). Group study:
Bold teachers should encourage students to speak English, and added some terms commonly used in communication exchanges for students to help. Teachers should also be careful to observe the group's learning activities, and actively inspire and guide the interaction between students and strive to train students in the learning ability and awareness.
(3). After the Cooperative Learning Group:
Awareness of teachers have organized the exchange of group learning outcomes, such as: a panel painting, the word solitaire games and contests, etc. Answer the question in order to enhance cooperation among team members the ability. In recognition of outstanding performance in a timely manner of the group, members of other groups play the role of incentives.

Chapter III of the replacement of teacher's role in the cultivation of learning strategies infiltration.

The existence of the traditional teacher's role preference: the authority of teachers, teachers and students to ignore the partnership; stressed the quality of teachers and teaching skills of discipline, neglect of teachers to promote student awareness of professional growth; teachers work transitivity, to the neglect of creative teaching and learning. Now teachers are having less and less responsibility to the delivery of knowledge, and thinking more and more incentives; teachers must devote more time and effort of those engaged in effective and creative activities. Activities in English classes, teachers play a more and more the role of the teacher's own role is also to replace the role of changes in students so that students play the role of teachers in different secondary schools have the appropriate strategy, as the true embodiment of learners dominant position.
Organizers: teachers are the organizers of the activities of classes, English teachers should seriously start of English class organizations, organizers of the teachers is the most important and most difficult to play a role. Teachers a very important task is to design and carry out tasks of organizational learning. Teachers prior to the event should be clearly and accurately explain the content and requirements, if necessary, to demonstrate how to enable students to understand their activities.
Control: teachers can be based on the activities of students, where appropriate, the extent of change in control, you can practice from the control, semi-controlled to free practice exercises, the students use and accuracy of language less and less control, the divergence of students thinking.
Participants: the event is not nothing to do after the teacher, in addition to looking around, monitoring, help, the teachers can participate in activities, as activities with the students a common learning task to complete. This is the teachers and students are equal participants, who will no longer be controlled.
Evaluators: teachers teaching students to assess the activities of both tasks. As an evaluator of teachers to students to correct errors in a timely manner so that students clearly a mistake, without causing adverse effects to their self-esteem. At the same time, timely feedback to students so that students see their success and lack of ongoing efforts to motivate their students. Teaching teachers is the multiple roles assumed by both the organizers and at the same time plays a control, monitoring, and urges the role, only the situation of teachers in accordance with the specific role of an appropriate classroom activities to the organization, will receive due results.

The ancients said: "delegate to fish for the meal needs, delegate to fish, then life ever." Scientific method is through the success of the bridge, it can make learning more scientific and have a multiplier effect ; to reduce blindness in the study to improve the learning efficiency and autonomy of learning to enhance students "development of learning ability" and "creative learning", in English teaching, we have to in order to enhance the overall quality of students as the goal, to foster the students the innovative spirit and practical ability to focus. At the same time in learning English, students develop independent thinking, independent learning and lifelong learning ability, a good command of English to improve their psychological quality. Teachers to promote students will comprehensive, development-oriented initiatives to improve the quality of all students of English as the key link, and strive to be All for students, for all students and for students all.
