It has been raining for the last few days, but it stopped raining this afternoon. It's a beautiful day today. Welcome parents to take time out of their busy schedules to communicate with us face to face!
Since this semester, I have taken over the English teaching in Class Two, Grade Six. This is the third time that I have taught English in the graduating class, so I can say that I have a certain understanding of the textbooks for Grade 6. Because I am in charge of the English line at school, I have a deep understanding of the English teaching of these children in grade six. However, to the parents present, I am still a stranger. Of course, some parents take time out of their busy schedules to communicate with us, but they only interact with you through the internet (that is, Passepartout). Therefore, I am very happy to have this opportunity to communicate face to face with my parents today. Thank you for your strong support for our education and teaching work.
The purpose of this parent-teacher meeting is to strengthen the contact between teachers and parents, and exchange information between the graduating students in our school and at home, so that teachers can adjust their work in time, improve the quality of education and teaching, and at the same time enable parents to actively participate in the education management of students, so that our students and your children can successfully graduate with excellent results in this year's graduation examination, lay a solid foundation for entering junior high school, and realize the common aspirations of parents, children and school teachers. In a word, it is "all for children". This is a fundamental starting point of our education.
At present, there are 248 students in 6 classes of Grade 6 in our school. The arrangement of the graduating class teachers in the school can be said to be quite troublesome. We chose experienced teachers to teach the graduating class, and so did our English subjects. It can be said that the arrangement of sixth grade teachers is a strong lineup of our school. Teachers are experienced, self-motivated and have good moral cultivation. Please rest assured.
Next, I want to talk to my parents about our English subjects. As we all know, English, like Chinese and mathematics, has now become a major subject. We have been offering English classes since the third grade. According to the latest news, English classes will be offered from the first grade in the whole city next autumn, so English has now risen to a very important position.
However, compared with Chinese and other subjects, English has its particularity, because we are all from China and our mother tongue is Mandarin, so we lack the environment and atmosphere for learning English. How can I learn English well? Listen to an article by Shen Jingjing, a classmate of Class Six (1). Shen Jingjing is the leader of our English study. Maybe her experience in learning English can give you some inspiration (see draft).
Shen Jingjing's mother is an expert in English, so her mother is her daughter's walking dictionary and her mother is her daughter's good teacher. However, from Jingjing's article, we can easily find that she actually relies more on her own efforts. She said a very good sentence: "English is not our own language, so it is difficult to learn and easy to forget." It is not enough to rely on a few hours of class. " Jingjing also mentioned the two most important things to learn English well, that is, preview and review.
Nowadays, primary school English has higher requirements for students, and the pattern of textbooks and topic shape exercises in senior grades is almost equal to our previous junior high school level. If parents can pay attention to our English books at ordinary times, they will find that many words in the books have never been seen before. Words are like this, so are sentence patterns, grammar and other knowledge. Therefore, senior students no longer need to ask them to read aloud and write from memory. Understanding and reading strange short passages, mutual transformation of sentence patterns, correct recognition of various tenses, understanding and application of grammatical points, etc. Are the weakest link for students. Therefore, students' ability to understand and use is particularly important.
Some parents also think that children can read texts and write word patterns silently. Why doesn't the exam work? This is completely normal. In senior high school English learning, understanding and application are the most important. Books are only the medium and carrier of knowledge, and students' English thinking is in the primary stage from this stage. Therefore, students' study at this stage is likely to be related to their later study. Without a good foundation, the prospect of English learning is really not optimistic.
How should parents face up to their children's English learning? How to help children develop good study habits? How to improve children's academic performance? In English, I would like to make the following suggestions:
1, give children confidence in learning.
No matter how receptive children are to other knowledge, they must not attack at will in English subjects. No one is born with an aversion to language, and no one is born with a genius. They are gradually accumulated in practice, and even practice makes perfect. Parents should have a normal heart, and don't say to their children, "You are the hope of the family, so you must be admitted to the key points" or "You failed in the exam. Where are your parents' faces? ",or easily will be beaten. For example, parents need patience and calmness, which is the key to help children face learning calmly. It is very important to see the advantages of children, give them proper encouragement and guidance, and make them full of confidence in English learning.
2. Cultivate children's good study habits.
In the book Learn to Live, UNESCO points out that in the future society, illiterate people will not be illiterate people, but those who don't know how to learn and can't update their knowledge by themselves. Parents want their children to grow up in the future society, so they must pay attention to the guidance of learning methods and the formation of learning habits. Generally speaking, children's study habits determine the effect of learning. Therefore, in addition to the classroom, I pay great attention to the guidance and guidance in this respect, and parents should also correctly cultivate their children's study habits. It is very important to urge him to listen and read English every day. In addition, parents' attention and supervision can not be ignored, such as children's handwriting, attitude towards homework, efficiency in class, interest in English subjects and so on.
3. Cooperate with children's learning methods
Learning from children and worshiping them as teachers will greatly improve their interest in learning and the degree of serious study. Studying with parents and teaching grandma English will make children happy. (For example, practice has proved that relaxed and happy learning can fully mobilize and give play to students' interest, enthusiasm and potential in learning, thus enhancing the memory effect and mastering the ability to use foreign languages; On the contrary, dull, boring and tense study can only inhibit thinking activities and reduce learning effect. We put forward some of the above methods in order to help parents create a relaxed and happy learning environment and atmosphere for their children after class, so that they can enjoy learning English. It can be said that if children want to learn well, they must first "love learning" and "enjoy learning", which is repeatedly emphasized by modern education.
Encourage children to learn from real life. If you put English labels on household items, the whole family will learn together; Review related words and sentences when going to parks and shops; Take the initiative to talk with foreign guests. (for example)
3. Give your child some pressure appropriately.
Parents can give their children some oral or written homework, give them some appropriate burdens and help students practice what they have learned. Such persistence can also achieve certain results. After all, practice makes perfect, especially for primary school students. (for example)
Finally, thank you again for your understanding, support and help in my work. I sincerely hope that every parent here will cooperate closely with the school and teachers. I firmly believe that with the joint efforts of the school, parents and students, our students and your children will grow up healthily, get excellent grades and enter the ideal middle school.
I wish my parents a smooth job and a happy family!
