What qualities should an English teacher have?

1. Rich knowledge As a teacher, one must be proficient in English phonetics, vocabulary, semantics and pragmatics, have high listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, skillfully use English teaching in class, and use teaching principles and teaching methods such as the principle of step by step, the principle of stages and the principle of inspiration. For example, stick figures and pictures are often used in word teaching, which can not only attract students' attention and provide intuitive images, but also enhance their attraction and interest. When learning the text, use a tape recorder to make sounds and set off the atmosphere; Sometimes interesting questions and answers arouse students' association and inspire many thoughts; Sometimes competition mechanism is introduced into teaching to stimulate students' desire and make them more enthusiastic about English learning. Besides, an excellent English teacher must have knowledge of pedagogy and psychology. Due to the particularity of sincere amateur education, some students do not review what they have learned after class, and their knowledge will be forgotten when they attend class again. As a teacher, if you lose control of your emotions, break into a furious rage and reprimand students in public, it will hurt students' self-esteem and lead them to arrogance. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, only when low-level needs such as physiology, safety, belonging, respect and self-esteem are met can individuals generate and pursue higher-level needs such as cognition, aesthetics and self-realization. In this case, I usually downplay it and ask other students instead, or postpone it and talk to them after class to let them understand the importance of English learning. Second, personality charm In the long-term teaching, I can deeply understand the subtle influence of teachers' words and deeds on the cultivation of students' good character. The role of role models is often better than words. Teachers' morality will become an example for students to learn to imitate. Teachers' personality charm will attract students. A teacher with profound professional knowledge, strong teaching ability and elegant demeanor will certainly win the love of students, and students will often turn their respect and love for teachers into their love for the subjects they teach. Finally, I will study English and other subjects better. There are thousands of students in Qian Qian, whose families, social backgrounds and emotional experiences are very different. However, teachers' parental love enables them to overcome all kinds of obstacles, persist in learning English and give full play to their talents in their studies. Third, a certain knowledge of English teaching methods An English teacher should understand that under a certain linguistic and psychological theoretical background, there are many teaching schools, such as grammar, translation, direct method, listening and speaking method, communicative method, suggestion method, group learning method, consultation method and silence method, because these schools all have their own special teaching objectives and teaching environment. In the teaching process, English teachers can learn from each other's strong points and enrich their teaching practice knowledge and skills. In English teaching, I usually take different types of activities according to the texts I have learned, such as monologues, dialogues, two-person group activities, group activities, pantomime, storytelling and various games. By carefully designing the teaching plan, English classroom will become a stage for English practice, in which students will participate and become the main body of teaching, and classroom teaching will highlight communication. Structurally speaking, I think the quality of teachers should include three aspects: moral quality, professional quality and teaching quality. First, moral quality The professional moral quality of teachers is the primary quality in the quality structure of teachers. English teachers in the new century must have noble moral cultivation, healthy thoughts and feelings, and a dedicated and selfless teacher soul. We should be loyal to the educational cause of the party and the people and be determined to devote everything to the educational cause. In addition, we should have a wide range of hobbies, positive emotions, enterprising personality, strong psychological adaptability and endurance to the competitive environment, correctly treat the success and failure, difficulties and setbacks, opportunities and challenges in teaching, love our own career, love our own students, and have the psychological quality of respecting and accommodating others. Second, professional quality To implement English teaching under the new curriculum standard and cultivate students' comprehensive quality, teachers should not only have profound knowledge, but also have a reasonable knowledge structure, which is the basic guarantee for achieving good teaching results. English teachers should have comprehensive basic knowledge of language, grammar and vocabulary and strong basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. Only capable teachers can cultivate high-level students. With the frequent contact between China and the outside world, English, as an international language, has become more and more important in cross-cultural communication. Therefore, English teachers should also have rich cultural background knowledge, explain the cultural knowledge involved in teaching to students, and let students know about foreign cultures. By comparing values, cultural customs and eating habits, students can understand and respect foreign cultures, enhance their world awareness, and love their ancestral cultures more. English teachers should not only master English knowledge, but also master modern pedagogy, cognitive psychology and sociolinguistics. Modern educational technology, especially multimedia technology, has become an important means of transmitting information. The application of multimedia teaching can achieve twice the result with half the effort. As an English teacher, we should make full use of modern educational technology to learn computer knowledge, operate computers skillfully, give full play to the role of the network, and do a good job in online learning and teaching. Third, the "new curriculum standard" of teaching quality puts forward higher requirements for English teachers. In addition to solid professional quality, you must also have certain teaching quality. The language expression ability is strong, and the teacher's language is the art of communicating the mind of the educated, which should meet the requirements of standardization, scientificity, education and artistry. In order to organize teaching in English, English teachers must have good spoken English, and students should think and engage in dialogue activities in English in class. In the process of English teaching, language communication alone is sometimes not enough. Teachers must have the ability of nonverbal communication, such as gestures, eyes, expressions, movements, etc. , but also must have the ability to stick figure, sing and act. These qualities are a reliable guarantee to ensure students' learning effect and implement innovative education. Adopt flexible and diverse teaching methods, carefully organize classroom teaching, make classroom teaching content rich and colorful, create a good classroom atmosphere and cultivate students' strong interest in learning English. Establish their self-confidence, master good learning methods and memory rules, form correct learning strategies, and strive to improve the quality of education and teaching. Teachers' innovation is the premise of cultivating students' innovative learning, and it is also the focus of the new curriculum. Minister Chen Zhili said: Only teachers with innovative spirit and consciousness can give students heuristic education and cultivate their innovative ability. This requires teachers to completely walk out of the traditional education mode, get rid of the shackles of old education concepts, open up the road of innovative education, and truly turn to the track of new curriculum education. Therefore, only English teachers with innovative ability can cultivate students' innovative ability in English teaching. In short, the implementation of the new curriculum is a curriculum function that comprehensively embodies knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values. It focuses on cultivating students' innovative spirit and stimulating their interest in learning. As a qualified English teacher, you should have high moral quality, professional quality and teaching quality. Only in this way can we better implement quality education, innovate capital and really play the leading role of education.
