How to Infiltrate Gratitude Education into English Teaching in Primary Schools

First, cultivate children's sense of gratitude in daily life.

Because of children's age characteristics, they need encouragement and praise. In teaching, we should be good at finding the breakthrough point and combination point of education and carry out natural infiltration. For example, "Good morning!" "Hello" and "Hello!" "Nice to meet you!" "Thank you!" Sentences expressing greetings and politeness such as "I'm sorry" are the first ones that students come into contact with when learning English. As long as they are used repeatedly in teaching and daily communication to create real language situations, students will naturally learn to use polite expressions in English. For example, "thank you", a common polite expression, is used by teachers in daily life. For example, no matter how students behave in class, they should say thank you! Let the students understand, thank you for your cooperation. After the whole class, the students are deeply grateful and more willing to cooperate with you. As the saying goes, students are students. You do it first, and the students will follow suit. Teachers' words and deeds can not only make students use the language they have learned freely and improve their English expression ability, but also promote the formation of students' civilized manners and habits, thus achieving the teaching effect of integrating education and teaching. In the process of learning, teachers can also remind students to say "thank you" when accepting help from others; When accepting compliments from others, say "thank you"; When accepting gifts from others, you should also say "thank you". Even your parents, don't forget to say "thank you". Let the students understand that they should have a grateful heart for the people and things around them. English greetings can be used not only at school, but also when you go home. You can often say something grateful and considerate to your parents in English. If parents don't understand, you can translate it to your parents, for example, thank you, mom! I love you, Dad! By analogy, parents will also be pleased with their children's academic performance and intimate relationship.

Second, in English classroom teaching to cultivate a sense of gratitude

1, cultivate gratitude consciousness in word learning

When learning the words of father, mother, grandfather, grandmother and other family members in the second volume of the third grade, I asked the whole class to bring photos of their families. First of all, I asked the whole class to tell us how much their parents love us at ordinary times and made a lot of efforts for us to inspire children's love for their families and gratitude to their parents. Then I asked the students to introduce their families in English: This is my father and I love my father! This is me … I will lead the children to learn to sing songs. I love my father, I love my mother, and they love me … so that students can express their deep love for their parents while learning songs!

Another example is when I studied professional vocabulary such as doctor, teacher, nurse, farmer, driver and cleaner in the sixth list of grade four last semester. I let the students watch the scenes of each professional at work after learning the words. Doctors and nurses help patients recover in the classroom. The teacher worked hard to educate us to grow up. The rice, vegetables and fruits we eat are all bought by farmers with sweat. This is the hard work of the cleaners. People from all walks of life have made great contributions to our happy life, and we should thank these people. In addition to these words, there are many words in our textbooks that can be used as materials to cultivate sadness and gratitude. As teachers, we should know how to use them.

2. Cultivate children's sense of gratitude in dialogue teaching.

The dialogue content in each volume of the primary school English textbook published by People's Education Press is also a good material for us to carry out gratitude education, such as learning the fourth volume of the first volume of the fifth grade.
