A brief discussion on the role of simple drawings in primary school English teaching

Simple drawing is concise, fast, vivid and lifelike. It is an effective teaching form that students love to hear and see, and it is an irreplaceable and effective teaching method in English classroom teaching. Talking and drawing at the same time in class, combining audio and video, can quickly create vivid and interesting English learning situations for students, make the classroom atmosphere active, and get twice the result with half the effort. Now, let me talk about some of my own opinions:

1. Use simple figures to learn words intuitively

In class, in order to improve students’ interest in learning, when teaching fruit words, The teacher can simply draw the outline of an apple on the blackboard, then present the word "apple", and then ask students to read the word and post the picture. In this way, it is both intuitive and vivid, and students can easily understand and master the words. At this time, we can also extend the teaching by painting apples red and green to review red red green green, and then conduct phrase dialogue expansion exercises to let students describe: an apple, a red apple. I like apples. I don ?t like apples. I like this red apple. And so on. A few simple strokes, vivid and easy to understand, not only train students' divergent thinking, but also enable students to fully enjoy the fun of language learning in the classroom. It also shows the auxiliary charm of simple drawings in English teaching.

2. Use stick figures to design effective classroom activities

Interest is the best teacher. Using stick figures can activate the classroom and cultivate students' strong interest in learning. Some students may not be interested in abstract things like language learning, but the vast majority of students are very interested in visual and intuitive pictures, and many students also like to draw by themselves. Therefore, combining simple drawings with language teaching and using simple drawings to design various classroom activities can often achieve good teaching results. A beautiful simple drawing can catch students' attention, make their hearts move, and then make them speak without hesitation.

So, how to use simple drawings to design classroom activities? I often use the following methods:

1. Guess. To set up suspense, draw half of the picture on the blackboard and ask What?s this? Then, guess in English what will appear in the end? What exactly is that on the blackboard? What will it become? In this way, students' curiosity is awakened, and students' enthusiasm is mobilized. At this time, teachers should seize the opportunity to consciously guide students to conduct multi-faceted guessing exercises. This activity effectively enlivened the classroom atmosphere, stimulated students' interest in learning, and improved learning efficiency.

2. Add something. Let students add to a specific picture, give students a small amount of picture information, and leave students with a broad space for thinking development, allowing students to freely imagine and use whatever they want. This method can not only review words and practice sentence patterns, but also cultivate students' creative thinking ability. For example: when reviewing words, show a simple circle and let students freely use their imagination. As a result, the students’ works are really diverse! In answer to: ?What?s this? At that time, everyone rushed to come up with their own works to answer: It's a football. It's a basketball. It's a panda and so on.

3. Listen, talk and draw.

When reviewing and consolidating animal words, the teacher can first draw the outline of a zoo on the blackboard, and then use simple drawings to quickly draw the animals learned, and then use the form of listening, speaking, drawing, and allowing students to listen to the recording. While drawing animals, you say: It's a monkey. It's a panda. It's a. This way, the boring review class becomes lively and effective.

Simple drawing is simple, fast, vivid and lifelike, and does not require advanced and complicated skills, so it is easy to master. So, let’s not forget this simple and effective method, because sometimes, a picture can be worth a thousand words! Let us use a pair of skillful hands to introduce children to the paradise of knowledge! Let teachers teach interestingly and students learn happily! Let classroom teaching truly radiate vitality of life!
