Xiao Hongmei, an English teacher in Liuhe District Senior Middle School, Ap teaching method.
The necessary qualities of English teachers in the new era are "popularizing foreign languages, cultivating foreign language talents, improving foreign language teaching methods and improving foreign language teaching level, which are not ordinary teaching problems, but major issues that affect the better implementation of China's opening-up policy and promote China's economic and social development." (Li Lanqing). This shows the importance of foreign language teaching. In order to change the phenomenon of "less, slower, worse and more expensive" and achieve good results, the quality and level of teachers often play a decisive role. There is a proverb in China: "A good teacher makes a good apprentice" illustrates this truth. So what qualities should a middle school foreign language teacher have to adapt to the development of quality education? 1. English teaching is a part of the whole education. Love of education and love of English teaching should be the same. Teachers should link their work with the task of improving the quality of the whole nation, cultivating millions of new people with "four haves" and cultivating modern pillars, and see the great significance of cultivating talents for economic construction from their ordinary daily work. Only when teachers have a correct understanding of their work and deep feelings can they have a strong sense of pride and responsibility for their work and try to overcome the difficulties encountered in their work; Will put forward strict requirements for their own work; Stick to the post of education, be firm, and be prepared to devote all your life to education. 2. Teachers with noble morality should be excellent. Because teachers are often the most prestigious and revered in the eyes of students. Therefore, teachers' thoughts and behaviors have a great influence on students and play a subtle role. Teachers must be strict with themselves, lead by example everywhere and be role models for students. Teachers, in particular, must be serious and responsible for their own classroom teaching and strive for perfection. Never be careless or careless in doing things. Teachers should also teach and educate people. Usually, we should not only care about students, but also be strict with them and persevere. 3. The basic skills of English majors are solid. English teachers should have a high level of English, especially professional basic skills, which is one of the prerequisites for teaching English well. A qualified foreign language teacher must have good pronunciation and intonation; Certain listening, speaking, reading and writing skills; Necessary knowledge of grammar; Master certain vocabulary and knowledge about the cultural background of British and American countries. Generally speaking, a teacher with poor listening and speaking skills can't cultivate students with strong oral skills, and a teacher with poor pronunciation can't teach students with good pronunciation and intonation. At the same time, as a teacher, we must never be satisfied with the existing knowledge and education, and we must always "recharge" to keep up with the pace of the times and adapt to the requirements of the new era. If you can, try to participate in English teaching and research meetings, academic exchanges and large-scale competitions as much as possible to improve and test your professional quality. 4. Competent teaching ability If you want to fundamentally improve and improve your professional level, you can't just pay attention to or be satisfied with your academic qualifications, that is, your knowledge level is "qualified". Instead, we must pay attention to strengthening our own ability training while our academic qualifications are up to standard, and improve our education and teaching ability as the central link to improve the quality of education and teaching; Otherwise, even if the academic qualifications are "up to standard", it is difficult for some teachers to get out of the predicament of "knowledge giving and receiving" and really enter a fresh new world of developing intelligence, cultivating ability and shaping sound personality. Language teaching is both a science and an art. If English teachers want to achieve good teaching results, they must understand and master the rules and methods of English teaching. Especially today, with the implementation of quality education and the vigorous promotion of teaching reform, it is particularly important for English teachers to study and study teaching methods. As an art, English teaching, like other arts, cannot be obtained casually, nor can it be obtained today and lost tomorrow. It is the accumulation of long-term experience. Teachers must be very familiar with the principles and methods of English teaching, and more importantly, use them flexibly and effectively in teaching practice. 5. Language is artistic. The teaching language of English teachers should be accurate, concise and exemplary. Popular and vivid, with a sense of humor; Clear and layered; Inspired by generate, full of motivation; Cadence, full of rhythm. Such a teacher can be lively and interesting in class, attract students and be easily accepted by students. 6. Respect, love and care for students. A good teacher will never punish or change the punishment of students, and will never insult and ridicule students. Instead, we should care about their growth and study, patiently guide and correct mistakes. Treat every student fairly, not "biased". Praise those who deserve praise and criticize those who deserve criticism. Such a teacher can have the most prestige in the eyes of students.
