How to make primary school English classes more lively and interesting

The teaching environment has a great impact on stimulating students' interest in learning. Teachers must devote themselves to classroom teaching with full enthusiasm. Therefore, in classroom teaching, special attention should be paid to using the first ten minutes of class to create a good classroom atmosphere (Warming up). For example, singing some English songs and ballads can activate the atmosphere before class, enhance the interest of English learning, and stimulate students' curiosity for knowledge.

2 The use of object teaching

Primary school students are not focused and simply memorizing words by rote will make them feel boring and bored. In English teaching, teachers use physical objects to teach, which can adjust the classroom atmosphere, deepen students' impression of the content they have learned, and facilitate students' understanding and mastery. When teaching new words, if you use real objects or pictures to turn abstract words into concrete and intuitive things, students' attention will be attracted, and then they will become very interested, want to learn, want to hear, and want to say the corresponding words. For example, when teaching words such as apple banana pear, I ask students to bring their own physical objects of apples, bananas, and pears. After students see them, they are naturally eager to know how to say these things in English, and will actively remember these words. .

3 Use multimedia methods

The use of multimedia teaching in English classes should be accompanied by pictures and texts, which is suitable for the age characteristics of primary school students who are curious, interesting and novel. When teachers integrate the dialogues that students want to learn, they will deepen students' understanding of the language and enable students to engage in English communication activities more consciously and interestingly. Teachers can use FLASH to make the dialogue content in the text into courseware, so that students can experience the scenes and follow the cartoon characters in the courseware to learn about the dialogue content. Students will be very interested. Students deepen their role in the situation, practice consciously and proactively, fully display their talents in performances, and reflect themselves in mutual evaluations.

4 Design game scenarios

Review and consolidate the dialogue content. Designing game scenarios suitable for children during dialogue review teaching is a good way to entertain and teach. It can help teachers make boring review work lively and create conditions for students to practice language in a relaxed and natural atmosphere. , making students happy and eager to learn.

For example: When teaching 12-month words, I designed a dial with words from one to twelve months marked on it. The game begins with one student turning the dial and another student speaking the word. If the word is correct, other students will repeat it. If it is incorrect, other students will laugh "haha". The students will get into the role in the game situation and perform enthusiastically. Learning through play and playing while learning are not only in line with children's nature of imitating and having fun, but also give full play to their subjective initiative and creativity, and also adjust the pace of learning. In a pleasant and joyful atmosphere, the language knowledge learned was consolidated and the ability to use language was exercised.

5 Learn to sing English songs

Primary school English learning content can be expressed in the form of songs, which helps to stimulate interest and disperse difficulties. Therefore, integrating music and English in English teaching can help students understand dialogue, express situational content, and make students naturally engaged. During the singing process, you can conduct questions and answers or role-based dialogues based on the song content to reflect the communicative situation in the song. English jokes and English stories are not only told by teachers, but also taught by students, so that students can be freed from a mechanical, dull, monotonous and tense learning environment, eliminate study fatigue, feel the fun of learning, and improve learning efficiency.

6 Design interesting homework

Most of the English that primary school students learn is closely related to daily life, such as stationery, household items, transportation, animal names, etc.

After learning such words, we can assign students to label these items in English. Depending on the actual situation, they can label the objects, such as pencil, pencil-box, desk, chair, etc., or let students draw this Write the English word for the object on the drawing paper, such as rabbit, tiger, car, etc. You can also let students make these objects by hand and label them, such as ship, boat, plane, bird, etc. Because this type of homework is more interesting and can make students concentrate more when completing the homework, it can better help students remember the words, and it can also improve their English writing level and aesthetic ability.

In English classroom teaching, only by starting from cultivating learning interest, using teaching methods flexibly, and creating a relaxed and harmonious teaching environment can we better mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative in learning and improve students' learning ability. Learning interest and learning efficiency. Only by allowing students to "move" and make the classroom "alive" can they acquire knowledge happily to the greatest extent, improve their English level easily, and ultimately achieve the best teaching effect.
