First, prepare the speech.
I interviewed an English teacher, so I prepared a speech in English, but I think there should be similarities between the subjects. Before the formal preparation, look at the interview instructions and see if there are any designated teaching materials. For example, our primary school English is based on the fifth-grade textbooks used in our county.
It's best to ask the local teacher how to prepare for the interview first, otherwise he will give you some suggestions or precautions. When preparing for the interview, you can go online to search for lectures on several related subjects. There is very little English in Britain, but I still find a few that I think I can learn from. It doesn't have to correspond to the text of the textbook, but mainly refers to its language and form.
It is suggested not to use ready-made manuscripts, but to have your own thinking in them. My manuscript at that time was written after I studied several printed manuscripts myself. One more thing, it is suggested not to prepare a lecture for every text. Take our interview as an example. Grade five, each volume 10 unit, each unit has two classes. If you have to recite 40 speeches for each article, it is not feasible in a few days of interview preparation time.
In fact, the first lesson of each unit is a new lesson, and the teaching objectives and methods are similar. Including several parts that must be said in the speech, there are also similarities.
My practice is to prepare one or two lectures and organize similar parts of the language to recite. In this way, no matter which lesson you draw, you can copy it as it is (in fact, on the day of the interview, almost everyone is holding a manuscript instead of dozens, saying that they have time to prepare lessons before class, so they can use that time to improve the draft according to the lesson you draw).
After you know your back thoroughly, practice your gestures and expressions in front of the mirror (I think this is very important. When you start practicing in front of the mirror, you will easily forget the words when you are distracted, and then you will get used to watching others and correct the details. When you think it's almost finished, you can set up a simulation class and find several family members as judges to correct their mistakes.
I think actual combat drills are also very important. At that time, I had almost memorized my manuscript, but when I first tried to stand on the podium, although there was no one below, I couldn't help jumping up as soon as I stepped on the podium. After a few words, I began to forget the words and repeat them.
One more thing, I wonder if it varies from person to person. The feeling of sitting and reciting manuscripts is very different from that of standing, and it is easier to be nervous when standing. If some students have similar feelings, it is suggested to practice the manuscript standing.
Second, matters needing attention
1, English teacher interview, it is said that there are more English speeches than Chinese speeches. But in this interview, I know that the third place who got more than 9 1 in the interview used Chinese. No matter what the speech is, we must pay attention to the intonation and change it; The speed of speech is not always fast or slow.
Dress for the interview is very important. Girls can wear white and black dresses (recommended) and more formal high heels. Boys can wear suits. I chose a plain skirt this time, but there were still many candidates wearing very formal professional clothes on the day of the interview, which gave a good image.
3. Draw lots during the interview to decide the interview order. Someone may tell you that the top few are not related to the bottom few. But you must remember that exposure and non-exposure are not determined by the order. As a staff teacher told us on the day of our interview, it depends on many factors. For example, if you draw in the middle, it would be good, but the performance in front is good, so if you show general preference, you won't score very high. There is a contrast problem here. Also, if you draw to the end, you can have a long time to relax your nervousness and practice your manuscript. I interviewed 3 1 person and got 3 1.
I arrived at 6: 30 in the morning, and it was not my turn until after 12: 30. In the meantime, my heart kept pounding nervously until 10, but after 10, I was a little impatient and my heart gradually calmed down. I changed several parts of the manuscript and checked it with my classmates. At that time, I wanted to go to the interview quickly. Some students, teenagers, blush when they come out of class. You are not the examiner, and you all know that she is too nervous. When she is too nervous, she tends to speak faster and stutter. As everyone knows, this will seriously affect her performance.
And many people have said that the interview pays great attention to your appearance to some extent, not to what you look like, but to what you say and do. Whether you are confident or not, whether you are generous or not is still important.
4, it is best to have a blackboard book. If you write well, you can write while talking; If it is not good, you can add blackboard writing design to the last link of the teaching process and write it briefly. Pay attention to giving full play to your strengths and covering up your weaknesses, and how to do it.
5. It's better to have a highlight or climax in the lecture (this is what the staff there told us when we were tired of talking, and which school they were teachers). Later, after I took a class, in the half hour of preparing lessons, I changed the first part of the teaching process in the prepared manuscript, changed it into a scene reappearance activity, and added several actions and dialogues.
6. Students who apply for primary school teachers should understand that the principle of teaching English in primary schools is generally entertaining, with more activities and games. So in class, try to show the richness of your class. I don't think my grades are as high as those interviewed, that's why. We are all used to introducing a song into the classroom, but only a few students have sung it. There are also some students who add stick figures to their blackboard writing. These are the highlights.
7. One of my classmates was very nervous when he went in for an interview, and his performance was poor. She almost breathed a sigh of relief after she spoke halfway. She felt hopeless, so she gave up a little. After the lecture, she walked out in frustration without bowing. Later, the results came out and I almost got in. She regretted it. The truth to be said is that we must persist until we leave the examination room. The self-confidence and etiquette you should have must not be lost.
8. Redundant words may vary from person to person. Most of our classmates have no formal lecture training at school, so they may be crazy or even suspicious and desperate in the process of preparing lessons. Again, we must stick to it.
9. If possible, borrowing a teacher's book may inspire you. If possible, ask the students who took the exam in previous years and ask more about the process, which can alleviate the tension at that time.
10, don't ignore the details. Be sure to prepare carefully and don't take any chances. I scored a lot in the interview, but I didn't do well in the written test. Even if the written test ranks high, it may not pass the exam in the end.
Teaching Skills of English Calligraphy in Primary Schools II
The importance of English as an international language has been generally recognized by our basic education. English calligraphy is actually much simpler than Chinese calligraphy. There are only 52 cases with 26 letters.
But even these 52 letters are not necessarily the specialty of every student. Someone once wrote an article anonymously, "I give China primary school English a zero". It is mentioned in the article that in a test of grade three students in a primary school in Chaoyang District, none of the 365,438+0 students can write all 26 letters correctly, and some students can't even write lowercase letters.
This kind of teaching effect is puzzling. Although the authority of the test results is open to question, and it can't explain the current teaching situation of all primary schools in China, it should be the most basic skill for third-grade pupils to write 26 letters correctly.
We should also pay enough attention to the written expression in English.
As a communication tool, any language has its own writing requirements and norms. Judging from the problems exposed in students' homework, notes and papers, students' English writing ability is poor. Incorrect and unclear writing will inevitably affect the cognitive effect and even make a joke.
For example, a student made a sentence and wrote: I saw a big five in my dream last night. The teacher felt funny after reading it, thinking that he dreamed of getting a five-yuan bill.
It turns out that this classmate's writing is not standardized, r? With what? v？ Anyway, so fire is written as five, which can be understood as a five-dollar bill. It was really a miss, a thousand miles away. However, due to the failure of teachers to pay enough attention to English calligraphy, English calligraphy teaching was neglected at the beginning of students' study, which led to many students' irregular, untidy and even illegible English writing.
The teaching purpose of English calligraphy is to standardize writing, let students develop good writing habits, add icing on the cake and make English letters more beautiful. It can be seen that English calligraphy is very important for English beginners.
English calligraphy is not necessarily a separate course, as long as it is integrated into the English classroom. Among them, teachers should always pay attention to their own writing norms and aesthetics, and set an example for students. According to the characteristics of primary school students, English calligraphy should not be too theoretical, but should be theoretical and practical, so as to enhance the interest and make it easy for students to accept. This paper aims to provide some teaching methods of English calligraphy for English teachers' reference.
Italian script, also known as italicized running script, is a font between handwritten printed and round characters, and it is the only font used in English enlightenment teaching in China. Because this font is similar to printing, it is not only simple, easy to identify and clear in strokes, but also easy for beginners to imitate. Therefore, it is particularly important to write the most widely used Italian style.
In order to make students master Italian writing correctly, teachers should teach students the essentials of writing and try to make the class relaxed and interesting. English calligraphy teaching for primary school students has the following skills for reference:
First, the angles of letters should be consistent, and the inclination angle should be remembered.
The most striking feature of Italian body is inclination. Only by writing the letters obliquely can we show their beauty. The inclination angle is too small to allow the letters to stretch fully, so the inclination of the Italian body should be controlled between 15-20 degrees. In addition to maintaining the inclination angle, it is also necessary to maintain a consistent inclination. Inconsistent inclination angles and uneven writing of letters directly affect the writing effect.
Second, the position of letters should be coordinated, and the upper and lower cases should be clearly remembered.
Not all letters occupy the same position, so it is very important to master the position rules. Only by ensuring that all the letters are written according to the correct lattice rules can the written letters be harmonious and beautiful. For example, all capital letters occupy one and two thirds of the space. There are also rules for lowercase letters: Group A only occupies the middle (including thirteen letters of A, C, E, M, N, O, R, S, U, V, W, X and Z); Group B occupies two squares on the baseline (including letters B, D, H, K and L); Group G occupies the next two cells (including letters G, P, Q, Y); I and t occupy a half lattice on the baseline; F is not on the line of two and two thirds square; J occupies two and a half squares.
Third, turn round and use your pen gently.
Compared with handwritten printing, Italian strokes are more fluent. Therefore, the corner must be rounded, reflecting the beauty of fluency. For example, the upper and lower edges of the upper and lower circles of capital letters B and D, B must be rounded smoothly, and the joint of the two circles must be as low as possible, especially the lower edge of the upper circle and the upper edge of the lower circle should overlap by two thirds, so that the letters written can be full. D is written in the same way as B, so that the upper and lower edges of the circle are as parallel as possible, instead of writing? The shape of the moon? , two tips.
Fourth, with the help of jingles, it helps to remember complex writing essentials.
Some letter writing essentials are difficult to master, and teachers can make them into jingles to help students remember and enhance the interest of the class. For example: M is not McDonald's, two arches should be written, with the same width on both sides and the same head height; Another example: F, hook up and down, the upper hook needs to look up slightly, and the lower hook needs to turn slightly.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) How to write some slightly difficult letters
S and S are both composed of arcs, so it is difficult to write. However, these two letters are not difficult to write as long as you grasp the main points of writing. S has two bends, a small head and a round belly. The connecting line between the two bends is the key to writing this letter well. The connection must be straight, and the angle must be controlled at about 45-55 degrees on the lower right, but the length should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the circle below and the belly will not be round.
The lowercase letter y is also difficult to write, but as long as you remember the following rules and tricks, you won't find it difficult. The two strokes should be parallel, and the left and right vertical lines should be roughly parallel, but the vertical line on the right side of the upper mouth needs to be tilted outward to form the cup mouth, so as not to appear dull.
The importance of primary school students learning English calligraphy is obvious. The key lies in teachers' attitude and teaching methods, so that students can develop good writing habits and keep them, and lay a good foundation in the primary stage. The above teaching essentials are for reference only and are not immutable. The author expects more teachers to devote themselves to the study of English calligraphy and carry out a wider exchange of experience.
