How to lay out homework in middle school English hierarchically

An analysis of the current situation of English homework assignment

At present,

many teachers have gotten rid of the traditional method of assigning English homework,

no longer put the mechanical

copying and writing of words, phrases and even texts on the top priority,

attached importance to the training of reading and skills in English,

allowing students to use their own brains to acquire knowledge and ability,

avoiding making students a "machine".

Let students use their own brains to acquire knowledge and ability,

avoiding making students

a "machine" and in a passive position of learning. Therefore, in the total amount of homework assignments than

previously there has been a marked improvement,

focus on the effect of homework and the intrinsic connection between knowledge in order to develop

students' thinking ability, to avoid the formation of the students of the English language of the boredom of the mood. Moreover, in English studies

subject, a great deal of homework is oral and relies on students' reading aloud and memorization. Every day, the old

teacher assigns a certain amount of oral and written work, which is adjusted

according to the students' study time. For example, the total amount of homework on double days and holidays should be more than usual.

From the point of view of students' completion of homework, most of the students can complete the teacher's requirements on time

requests to memorize and do exercises in time. However, students do not have enough self-awareness to do their homework, copying homework can be

completed, the work of brainstorming is extremely sloppy, and more than a "copy" of the phenomenon of the matter. This makes

teachers can not timely and correctly understand the student's learning,

teaching work is difficult to carry out.

How to put an end to this

type of phenomenon,

In addition to the students' learning initiative,

classroom teachers and other educational teaching tools

the use of

explore the junior high school English textbook homework layout methods,

find ways to

drill seriously,

guiding students to use the correct method, the homework layout method, the homework layout method, the homework layout method, and the homework layout method, the homework layout method, and the homework layout method. Guiding students to use the right methods and develop good study and homework habits is undoubtedly a

good attempt to improve the quality of English teaching.

The content and methods of English homework research

The so-called research on English homework layout,

that is, optimizing the design of English homework,

from the most basic English

homework to start, reforming the traditional English "sea of questions" way to seriously study the students' homework.

English homework research content

1

)The form of English homework:

But all the English homework can be divided into two categories: oral homework and written homework. Oral homework

includes listening to recordings of reading aloud, memorizing,

listening to recordings of retelling and self-editing retelling. Written assignments include

copying, practicing, and writing.

2

) Time for English homework

a.

Time for oral homework: each oral homework is limited to twenty minutes or less, and is released

to be completed at home after class.

b.

Written assignments: each written assignment is limited to twenty minutes, and practice

exercise assignments are to be completed in class as much as possible,

and are not to be included in the homework assignment,

in order to eliminate the phenomenon of plagiarism

. Writing assignments are limited to in-class instruction and then completed outside of class.

)

Contents of English homework

a.

Contents of oral homework: oral homework mostly consists of memorizing or reading aloud

words, phrases, and texts learned that day. A large number of new words are taught to the students, and there is still a cognitive process from being received

to being mastered.

English words are the primary stage of cognition,

only by skillfully

mastering the basics can they be recognized and mastered at a higher level. The current textbooks are equipped with audio recordings in each volume,

students can listen to the recordings themselves while learning and training their listening.

It is essential that students develop the habit of listening to the recordings every day

so that they can develop self-learning skills and improve their listening skills.

b.

Written homework content:

The copying type of homework is all done after class.

Practice-type written assignments are mostly in the form of multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions.

The content is items on grammatical functions that appeared in the day's English

instruction.

Ten typical questions appear each day,

and are completed as much as possible during class or

self-study.

Writing assignments are all related to the texts studied,

can be assigned after each text is finished,

allowing

students to create their own work in order to get the thrill of creativity and to stimulate interest in learning.

Methods of arranging English homework

1

)Arranging English homework by levels

The design of English homework should follow the laws of education and teaching.

Each student cannot be equal and at the same level in learning and mastering

knowledge. In English homework assignment, assigning homework in grades

can solve this contradiction.

a.

Basic homework:

For all students, including all oral homework and written homework (ten selected

questions), every student must do. Focus on the most basic knowledge and basic skills related to the textbook

training. In the homework arrangement, one does not require all, once the implementation of a training, from the macro-control

production volume.

The second is to have a sense of excellence,

Teachers should have a clear understanding of how each of the designed assignments can achieve

how to avoid the blindness and arbitrariness of the questions, to ensure that a question to

respond to a teaching goal,

an alignment of the training of a key point,

really from the microscopic control of the homework of

Volume.

b.

Improvement assignments

For students who have the ability to learn,

is mobile assignments.

This is to take into account a small number of special students

students, superior students, and deliberately supplemented with additional questions of greater difficulty. Students are free to choose

some synthesized questions that are within their reach. This motivates, taps, and brings into play students' intellectual

and non-intellectual factors.

Student motivation has been mobilized,

excellent students to satisfy a higher desire for knowledge,

feeling a taste for learning;

middle-poor students to alleviate the psychological pressure,

have a jump can also be picked

"peaches

" The poor students can also finish their homework on time every day, and enhance their confidence in learning. elementary (school), public (school), private

c. Write a few sentences about education in China.

(Students

may or may not do it, with greater discretion)

It should be noted that

there should be compatibility for the assignments designed,

both the

"new

knowledge" which has just been learned and the

"oldknowledge" which needs to be further consolidated. "old knowledge", pay attention to the content of the homework

gradient, inspirational and reflective. The design of this kind of graded homework, questions and objectives are clear,

students learn something, stimulate the students' understanding, expand the students to master the connotation of new knowledge.

2

)Use of learning strategies, guidance on memorization methods, oral homework

The completion of oral homework depends on the students themselves.

The teacher's role is to stimulate the students'

interest in learning English.

The teacher does not just pass on knowledge,

but focuses on guiding the students' learning

methods and developing their learning abilities.

a.

For some words that are similar in shape, a combination of mechanical and conscious memorization

can be adopted. For example:

mouth-

mouth (the mouth has to hold something, so the opening is upward

--u

)

month-

month

(the word "month" and the opening of the word

n

are both downward)

b.

For content whose meaning is confusing, it is possible to tap into its internal correlations

and

create contextual memorization

so that students can freely manipulate the language.

For example:

pot-

teapot

(

"to make"

tea has to be "made" in a pot)

top-

top ("raise" the head to see the "top")

c.

The rest of the items such as grammatical items to be memorized,

can be used in the following way.

E.g.

true

changes

into the adverb

truly

,

and

terrible

-

terribly,

the words.

"really terrible"

What's terrible? Gotta go

e

plus

ly

. You can also use the law of word formation to guide students to memorize words,

in order to get twice the result with half the effort. For example,

absent-----absence;

different---difference; important

-

importance

etc. In this way, as

teachers try to create a fine situation in the classroom teaching activities, arousing the students' curiosity,

stimulating the students' motivation to learn, so that the students themselves feel unsatisfied. As learning is not enough,

in turn stimulates the students' desire to learn. Thus, the completion of oral assignments is effectively implemented.

3

)Creating scenarios, imparting knowledge, and arranging written assignments

Dispersing written assignments to be completed within the class,

this requires that the teacher must carefully study the homework questions of each lesson

to make sure that they are well thought out. In the process of teaching, students should be guided to master some regularity

of knowledge and be able to cite one to solve future problems that will be encountered in the study of English. The specific

methods are as follows:

a.

Assigning homework problems first, then teaching knowledge

In English classroom teaching activities,

teachers give ten typical

problems in a way that throws out bricks to set up the homework for students to think about. Students with existing knowledge and experience, the new knowledge

to analyze and infer, and then the teacher to explain the knowledge.

E.g.

The difference between the usage of

interested

and

interesting

can be shown on the projector with a

slide. (as shown below)

interested

interesting

or interesting

interesting

The TV is ____ (interest)

The boy is ____ in it. (interest)

The TV is ____ (interest)

The boy is ____ in it. (interest)

The TV is ____ in it.

The teacher can then show further questions about the difference between

interested

and

interesting

, e.g.

Tom is ____ in science.(key: interested)

This story is very _____ . (key: interesting)

Another example: when teaching

Lesson Seven

, the following

two homework questions are assigned before classroom teaching:

Could you ask her to call me when she ___(get)

I

'

ll tell her as soon as she ___(get) in.

Students quickly gave

gets

the correct answer by listening to the recording, observing, and comparing the answers,

. Then the teacher explains the problems that must be taken care of in temporal clusters.

This method of doing the homework first,

and then passing on the knowledge

can make students deepen their knowledge and improve their learning. Although

sometimes there may be different answers, or even wrong answers, this is not important. What is important

is that students open their brains, start thinking, and get a sense of satisfaction and pleasure, so that

the students love to learn and enjoy doing. For this type of homework, the difficulty should be mastered in the "jump,

can pick the fruit" degree. Teachers must be independent study, one by one answer. Because only the teacher

The teacher himself felt the drill, only know how to correctly guide students to learn, to do.

b.

Teaching while assigning homework problems

Teachers, when teaching,

in order to be able to keep abreast of the students' mastery of the language knowledge,

and

timely countermeasures to randomly come up with questions. For example, in Lesson

7

, there is a sentence

:Could

you

say

that again, please?

In the lesson, you can take out the word

say

, and arrange it to be a

longer

.

Could

you

please

____

that

again

/

Could

you

p>lease

Could

you

please

____

that?

(

say,

repeat

) This method deepens the students' understanding of the language content, grasps the internal structure of the homework questions from the

whole, and melts the listening, speaking, reading, and writing into a furnace, which

and enables the students to get Multi-faceted training.

What's more, it prevents students with poorer academic performance from

being unable to correct their problem-solving errors in a timely manner,

and forming wrong concepts or knowledge.

It is beneficial for them to develop

a good habit of working consciously.

This kind of homework,

Many of them are learning the content of the text and add

deep knowledge of the transition point, the teacher as long as the awareness of the drill, there will be no small gain.

c.

Creating scenarios, imparting knowledge, and then assigning homework problems

Teachers can flexibly create scenarios among students when explaining knowledge points

.

For example, when making a comparison between

put on

and

wear

, a student with poor eyesight can be asked to stand up and do the action while

listening to the teacher giving instructions. "

Please put on your glasses, and then

you can see the words clearly. now look at him, he is wearing

his

glasses .

"

Then in order to consolidate the students' mastery of the new knowledge,

set homework questions.

It

'

s cold outside. please _____ your coat. /The men ____ a blue

T-shirt is our class teacher.

At this time, students

At this point, the students' brains have already received a lot of

of information,

these scattered information to be systematically organized and consolidated

,

they can be based on

knowledge to come up with the correct answer

put on

and

wearing

Also in the explanation of

stop doing sth.

After contrasting

stop to do sth.

then the homework question appears:

Class begins. let's stop ____ (talk). / Class

is over. Let's stop ____ (talk).

Based on what they have learned, students can give the answers

talking

and

to talk

after careful

examination. This kind of having

students do written assignments related to the focus of instruction at the end of a new teaching

is in line with the students' psychological pattern,

and facilitates the teaching

teacher's focus on the review of a particular knowledge point.

Students will be able to analyze and compare the similarities and differences in the grammar points in the exercises,

and improve their ability to differentiate,

as well as deepen their understanding of the language

. This kind of homework requires teachers and students to **** the same effort, according to the deep structure of the exercises to

categorize the exercises, seems to be a simple question, but contains a great value of thinking training. It

solves the complaints of many students when they come home from school and encounter difficulties in homework,

so that students have confidence in their studies

and this is especially true for students with poorer academic performance.

)Expanding Reading, Extending Learning Outside the Classroom, and Cultivating Writing Skills

Nowadays,

each school is using a different textbook,

while the exams use a single syllabus,

the same question paper.

For the students of the unified textbook,

the problem of how to expand the students' vocabulary

is also a worthwhile study in the homework assignment.

So,

in learning each new text

when the time to add similar reading materials to make up for the shortcomings of the textbooks used is

one of the important elements in teaching

. For example, when teaching

Smoking Is Harmful To Your

Health

, we found two similar content of reading comprehension that had appeared in the practice of junior high school to let

students complete the exercise in class, which will help the students to further understand the text, expand the vocabulary, and improve the reading

reading level.

Long-term persistence in each new text after the completion of two additional extracurricular reading materials

to expand students' knowledge,

this is also a proven method.

For those students who have the ability to learn more

,

consciously memorizing a certain amount of Oxford vocabulary every day is

also an effective way to rapidly improve reading ability. Through self-study,

autonomous reading in order to improve students' ability, and insist that students

students to complete a certain amount of writing content,

can develop students' writing habits in English,

and encourage in the correction

to

let students consciously use the new words in the composition of the new vocabulary,

in order to improve the English

writing skills.

Through the unfolding of the above process, students not only learn new knowledge and complete their homework, but also

promote the development of logical thinking, enliven the classroom atmosphere and improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching.

It should be noted that

in the specific operation,

model is not fixed,

exemplified,

unchanging,

should be concerned about an optimal choice and combination.

And as a teacher,

there must be a spirit of dedication,

pouring a lot of effort,

sacrificing a lot of time off to prepare for the lesson,

and do everything possible to select the best

classical exercises left to the students to do. So that the training will be appropriate, the teaching task can be completed in the same class.

Thereby forming a situation in which students learn with vigor and the burden of practice is not heavy.

Three, the effect of homework layout research and analysis

After the use of such homework layout,

the reason for the better effect in addition to the students' learning ability to grow naturally,

classroom teachers and other subject teaching and other factors,

homework layout can not be ignored

role.

American psychologist Bruno believes

"The best motivation for learning is when the student has an

inherent interest in the material being studied." By selecting topics and not assigning written homework at home, the

student's interest in learning is increased, the desire to learn is stimulated, and the student wins the initiative in learning.

Skatkin, an expert in modern pedagogy, pointed out:

"Knowledge that has not been reinforced and warmed up by the positive emotions of a person

will make a person apathetic.

Because it does not tug at the heartstrings,

it will soon be forgotten

." As the number of homework questions was reduced to "ten" per day, it tugged at the heartstrings of the student's willingness to learn.

And the difficulty level of the practice questions is at a level that allows students to

"jump and

pick the fruit"

and

gives them a sense of success.

This sense of success,

not only makes the students produce a super memory

power, but also can activate the students' creative thinking, giving full play to the students' mental potential.

The students who did not complete their homework well,

insist on giving ideological education,

positive guidance and enthusiastic

help, so as to put an end to the fear of learning, boredom of students' resistance.

The effect of the study shows that it is feasible and effective to study English homework assignment. As long as we

work hard to do,

"improve the quality and reduce the burden" is completely achievable. In the process of implementing the English homework arrangement, we must follow the principle of "gradual and orderly progress", continue to improve our comprehensive knowledge, take advantage of the climate of

"improving quality and reducing burden", and actively explore so that the homework arrangement can be gradually improved.

These are the first time I've seen a new one.
