英语论文小学英语教学中的活动教学法(3)
Atmosphere is very important in the process of Application of Activity Approach. The teacher must create an active atmosphere before you teach new lesson. And also the teacher should create a kind of carefree environment that does help to pupils’ exertion to the top of their bent. As we know, there is a saying a will beginning is half done. So before you begin you class, you can ask several questions that the pupils are interested in. For example, What is the weather like today? What are you wearing? Do you feel hot or cold in it? What day is it today? Is there anything special on this day? (Remember: the questions you ask should have something to do with the lesson you will teach.)
Besides, you can tell pupils a story that happened on you or around you. For example, you tell your students you saw a boy on the street this morning who wore very thin clothes and had long yellow hair. Then you ask your students “What do you think of him?” The student may have different answers. Some will say that the boy is cool; some will say it’s not good to dress like this. In this way, the pupils will think and speak actively. On one hand, they can practice the ability of expressing in English; On the other hand, it can reflect pupils’ aesthetic views and the teacher can channel off them to know what is bad and what is beautiful or ugly. The most important is that they are interested in this topic, and they will be excited and willing to learn more.
In the process of application of activity approach, you can also use flexible teaching methods and make your teaching full of sentiment when you teach new lessons. First, when you teach the new words and expressions, let pupils make sentences they are interested in. For example, when you teach “set the table”, you can ask the student “What can you do?” Some pupils will make sentences like “I Can sweep the floor.” Some will say that he can water the flowers, and so on. Then the pupils will remember it for long because they are interested in it. Second, when you teach the dialogues, remember to let pupils do more reading and speaking. Sometimes reading is better than teaching. After all, English is a kind of language, and teachers should give pupils more chances to practice, then they can learn to use it freely. And also pupils are willing to speak than to listen only. Third, make the texts and dialogues become enjoyable. Don not always conclude language points and grammar which would make pupils feel tired or interrupt their thinking to the stories. Try to make them be absorbed in the stories and share the fun and meanings. Sometimes they can discuss them and show their own ideas. Then you call draw a conclusion to the texts.
Using different kinds of activities approach has different results. Undeniably, with the Activity Approach, teachers have to expend more effort than with the traditional method, for they must design the teaching style and content. Thus, teachers should put more energy into teaching. Their enthusiasm and devotion towards work is very important. Activity Approach requires teachers to be versatile, to be interested in their work, to be open in character, and always to make reflections on what they have done wrong. Their professional competence affects the pupils’ progress directly.
