In daily life, when we see some comic sketches, we will laugh from our hearts; When reading some newspapers and magazines, you can often see humorous jokes that make people happy physically and mentally. Humor expresses sincerity, generosity and kindness in a pleasant way. It draws people closer like a bridge. Humor creates a harmonious and happy atmosphere through relaxed and humorous words and meaningful laughter. Humor is indispensable in daily life. As an English teacher, humor is indispensable in normal classroom teaching. Svetlov, an educator in the former Soviet Union, once said: "Humor is the most important and first assistant of educators." Humorous language can make knowledge easy to understand; Humorous language can make people relax and make the classroom atmosphere harmonious. Teachers with a sense of humor make students feel amiable and very popular with them. Teachers' proper use of humor can enliven the classroom atmosphere, help students to have a happy mood, accept knowledge more easily, and also help to enhance the feelings between teachers and students. When humor creates a warm atmosphere, not only students are willing to listen to lectures, but also the "* * * vibration" effect will occur, and the teacher's level can also be supernormal and achieve excellent results. In the usual English teaching, the author deeply realized that the proper use of humor in teaching can bring very good results to teaching.

1. "Take care of" problem students and enliven the classroom atmosphere

One student in the class, Bob, is prone to fall asleep due to physical reasons. Once, just as he squinted to sleep, I sang "Are you sleeping?" The song. When the students saw the teacher singing, they sang along happily. They followed my eyes and suddenly realized that he had reached "that moment" in the class, and everyone would laugh heartily. That classmate seems to have noticed it, too, and cheered up to listen to my lecture. My "sleep" song has become a "wake" song. Using this humorous way to remind students who are not paying attention to the class, not only can students consciously realize their mistakes, but also protect their self-esteem, and also enliven the classroom atmosphere because of this "small episode". As the German speaker Hein Lehman said, "It is more acceptable to tell the serious truth in a humorous way than to put it directly."

second, warn the students who violate the discipline and expand the teaching content

once, student Jane leans over to talk empty talk with Mike, the deskmate. I made an action to silence everyone and said emotionally, "Please listen to Jane, she has ways of words to tell Mike. And I think she would like to tell Mr Wu after class. Yes or no, Jane?" And emphatically explained the ways of words. The students listened and laughed. At this point, Jane and Mike stopped to listen to my lecture. At this point, I think why not teach them the extracurricular phrase "Ways of Words"? I said, we often hear such a song "A thousand words are not worth a word …", and this "a thousand words" can be used as "thoughts of words". For example, Mom, I have a thousand words to tell you today. Mom, I have thoughts of words to tell you today. Students feel very fresh, so they memorize them immediately. In this matter, I didn't reprimand the students directly, but asked them to tell the teacher after class. As a teacher, I am also instantly inspired by teaching. By using this humor to teach an extracurricular knowledge point, Ways of Words, students are deeply impressed and easier to accept and master.

third, activate students' thinking and promote classroom teaching. In a class, students are bending their heads to think about problems. Suddenly, a bee flew from the window and slammed into the glass window, and the bee was "on the rampage", as if it were performing a difficult "flight show". Many students are watching the performance of this bee. When I saw this, I teased: "Everyone was attracted by this bee. Teacher Wu's charm is no match for a little bee, right? " After a burst of laughter, I used the "bee" to play. I asked the students, "Why do this bee fly into our classroom?" Now, the students put their hands up high and scrambled to answer, sweeping away the dull atmosphere when they were thinking about the problem just now. Some said "He wants to have a rest." Some said "He wants to see our beautiful classroom." Some said "He wants to be our friend." Finally, I said that everyone's answers were very good. In fact, the bee had been watching everyone outside the window, and it saw that everyone had been slow to answer questions. In a hurry, I flew in and wanted to tell you (in a bee's tone): Come on, Come on, boys and girls. Please think over and answer Mr Wu's question quickly. The students' laughter once again enlivened the classroom atmosphere.

In class, we often encounter such a situation: when something happens to a classmate in the class or someone walks by the classroom door, there are always students who want to distract themselves. In this class, a bee distracted the students' attention, but the teacher's classroom teaching was not affected. Instead, the bee was skillfully used to actively guide the students to think about why it flew in. This not only cultivates students' divergent thinking, enables students to listen to the class with a positive thinking state, but also better mobilizes the classroom atmosphere. Using humor to solve unexpected events in teaching can not only maintain the authority of teachers, but also avoid embarrassing students. Turning passivity into initiative will not only make accidental events interfere with the normal operation of teaching order, but also make it run more steadily and flexibly. As long as teachers lose no time to quote some humor, students can relax unconsciously in laughter, re-concentrate, and re-engage in the classroom with an excited state of mind.

Fourth, skillfully motivate students, change their personalities

once, and organize an English short play performance in class. The content of the performance is that the most familiar and favorite four students, Tang Priest, the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand, went to Huaguoshan to pick fruits. The students quickly divided the roles. There are three people in one group vying to perform on stage, but only Tom is red-faced and afraid to go on stage. Tom's comprehensive English level is good, but he is introverted and a little timid. I think we must make him shine today. I asked him what role he had arranged. He told me it was Friar Sand. I suddenly made a the Monkey King gesture and said in the Monkey King's tone, "Brother Sha, Come here! I will help you !” As I talked, I made Friar Sand carry the burden, which made my classmates laugh. Tom smiled and walked onto the platform. He carried the "heavy burden" like Friar Sand in TV series. The vivid performance won the applause of the students. With the success of this initial test, he performed more times on stage, became more courageous and gradually changed his introverted personality.

A class is like a melting pot, with lively and active students and introverted and quiet students. Teachers' humorous words and deeds can often "tease" these introverted students, stimulate their desire for expression, and then change their personalities.

V. Bridging the distance between teachers and students and deepening the affection between teachers and students

Through teaching humor, teachers can let students appreciate the colorful personality and spiritual world of teachers, and make them feel that they are not only an awesome "teacher" but also an amiable "friend". A harmonious and humorous atmosphere can make the relationship between teachers and students closer, which is conducive to emotional communication and * * * synchronization into a compatible and interesting teaching world. I deeply realized this. The author sees from the weekly diary written by the students that our teacher Wu is too humorous in class and feels very relaxed. He always feels that the class will be over soon. I didn't like English at all before, but now my favorite class is English, and everyone feels very happy without feeling depressed; Teacher Wu must have read many humorous books when he was a child, so he became humorous. Mr. Wu often makes us laugh with humorous words and actions. I always look forward to having an English class ... The children show their admiration and admiration for a teacher full of humor between the lines. Of course, the feelings between teachers and students have also become deeper.

Proper use of humor can produce such a great effect, so how can we cultivate a sense of humor? Humor certainly depends on rich knowledge, quick thinking and fluent oral English, but it is important to have harmonious love, broad mind, optimistic mood and bright personality. If humor is the crystallization of wisdom, knowledge and experience in language use, then humor is the concentrated expression of a person's comprehensive quality. The composition of sense of humor includes wit and flexibility of thinking, extensive knowledge, healthy psychological access and skillful verbal expression. The cultivation of sense of humor can be started from two aspects, namely, basic quality and expression habits. (1) First of all, we should start from the cultivation of basic qualities: 1. We should have a sound and mature personality. We should cultivate an open mind, an open mind, a cheerful personality, a natural and unrestrained attitude towards life and strong self-control ability. Only with these basic qualities, can we be open-minded, warm and kind, and bring kindness and kindness to others through humorous words, and can we show self-confidence and calmness in various situations, and be humorous and free-spirited. As a teacher, these qualities are especially needed in order to draw students' hearts closer with humorous language and establish a good image among students.

2. Have accumulated knowledge and experience. Humor needs not only the accumulation of cultural knowledge, but also the accumulation of social experience, and it also needs to understand what to say in what context. Teachers' humor should inspire students and adjust the atmosphere, not hurt them.

3. Be resourceful and resourceful. Humorous ideas are always floating, and humorous conversations have the ability to seize opportunities and respond quickly. Therefore, teachers need to be good at grasping opportunities and "quiet" it in a proper place.

(2) the cultivation of expression habits. The ultimate embodiment of sense of humor involves the ways and means of expressing humorous words:

1. Be subtle and gentle. When expressing humorous words, we should not be superficial, vulgar and rude, nor hurt others. It pays attention to the profound implication in the plain, and hides the edge in the smile.

2. Be appropriate. All effective speech activities should be adapted to specific contexts. Humorous discourse should pay special attention to this point, because humor requires more organic connection between discourse and context. Humorous verbal expression should be appropriate and moderate. There are many ways to cultivate humorous language expression habits. The key is to keep pondering and carefully understanding in teaching practice, so as to gradually develop humorous language expression habits.

Humor can produce great charm, but we should still pay attention to the following points in the process of using it:

1. Humor should be appropriate. Humorous verbal expression should be appropriate. The first is not to abuse humor. Humor is the finishing touch and the condiment of language. To fully display its function, it is necessary to use it sparingly and accurately. As you can imagine, if a person talks endlessly about humor, the best humor will be eclipsed, and there will be disgust. The use of humorous language in classroom teaching should be in line with the teaching content, and it should not be used casually to interrupt the teaching activities and distract the students. Although it enlivens the classroom atmosphere, it is fun for fun. The second is to pay attention to occasions and objects. Humor, regardless of occasions and objects, will not only play a role in regulating the atmosphere, but will have the opposite effect. Third, civilized and healthy habits of speech civilization, put an end to low taste and low humor.

2. Humor should be moderate, not humorous for humor's sake. Too much humor or far-fetched humor will make the classroom environment loose and casual, and the normal class order is difficult to control. In the eyes of students, you are a teacher who is not serious or dignified. Therefore, moderate humor is the buffer and decompression agent for the tense, boring and boring classroom environment. As a teacher, you must gain and maintain students' respect for you, know how to use humor, and know when to adjust the atmosphere, which will be very helpful for your class.

As an English teacher, the proper use of humor in the usual classroom teaching is not only conducive to creating a harmonious teaching situation and adjusting the relationship between teaching and learning, but also conducive to the smooth completion of classroom teaching in a harmonious state, thus achieving good teaching results. Let our teachers and colleagues be more humorous, give students more humor, and make our English class full of humorous charm!
