Why independent learning is particularly important

The course of reform and development of classroom teaching, such as "induction, heuristic teaching", "interest teaching method", "quality education", "research learning" and so on. Research-based learning" and so on, it boils down to nothing more than to play the role of the main body of student learning, tapping the potential of students to learn on their own, so as to improve the effectiveness of education and teaching. Theory and practice have proved that it is very important to play the role of the main body of student learning. This gives us a great impetus to reform the traditional teaching mode and improve the effectiveness of teaching. With the development of society, the reform of the national education system, we need to cultivate more and more comprehensive and excellent high-quality talents. The kind of weekdays will only blindly engage in the sea tactics students in today's society is no longer needed. Only those who dare to learn, will learn students are excellent. A scholar once said that "the future of illiteracy is no longer illiterate people, but those who can not learn", so in the new century, independent learning is particularly important.

It is important to carry out independent learning and cultivate students' independent learning ability. First of all, it lays the foundation for the students' future development; secondly, it is the need of the law of self-development of young students; again, it is the responsibility of teachers. As teachers must focus on the awakening of students' potential, explore and enhance the promotion of students' self-development, so that students learn to learn on their own, so that they are free to draw nutrients in the sea of knowledge. For the needs of student development, we must reform the existing teaching methods and introduce independent learning into the classroom.

China's famous education reformer Mr. Wei Shusheng believes that the cultivation of students' ability to learn independently can be divided into four processes according to the principle of gradual progress: that is, to raise awareness - to stimulate interest - to teach the method - to cultivate habits. -Cultivate habits. The author based on Mr. Wei's point of view combined with his own teaching practice, to cultivate students' independent learning ability to do a preliminary discussion.

First, to raise awareness, clear goals, play students independent learning, can effectively improve the efficiency of classroom teaching.

To play the students independent learning, in the classroom first by the teacher put forward the problem, so that students have the goal of taking the problem to read and study, to find the answer to their own questions, and then in the "on-the-spot training" to prove and consolidate their own mastery of the knowledge, which allows every student to move up, play the students learning Initiative and enthusiasm. For example, in teaching, we tell students directly in the lecture "square has six sides", requiring students to memorize, but not to let students independent verification, so the memory is not solid. On the contrary, let the students independently to test the memory will be more profound.

The advantage of this approach is that it is necessary to let every student act, to actively think and learn, to analyze and solve problems, so that every student in the classroom are learning, so that students can get the overall development and improvement.

Learning is not only the process of mastering new knowledge, new skills and new experiences, but also the process of promoting students' physical and mental development, which cannot be separated from learning. Some students have not yet reached this level of understanding of learning. In addition, students encounter far greater difficulties in learning English than in other subjects. They often think that they will not go abroad, nor do they have many opportunities to talk to foreigners, so the purpose of learning is not clear, learning attitude is not correct, lack of self-consciousness, initiative and creativity in learning, always waiting for the teacher to "feed knowledge", passively complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and have no interest in learning. In the face of new requirements, new challenges, teachers should first re-understand the dialectical relationship between teachers and students, teaching and learning, and truly "student-oriented", "teacher-led". To grasp the psychological characteristics of students' personality, fully mobilize students' non-intellectual factors, from stimulating students' motivation to learn, enhance teacher-student relationship, enhance students' self-confidence in learning and self-correct understanding of the non-intellectual factors to improve students' interest in learning, develop good learning habits, develop their ability to learn independently, and develop good behavior. I often educate students about the purpose of learning: on the one hand, the reality of the society is highly competitive, in order to personal survival, self-expression and development needs, in order to be responsible for themselves, their families, the country and the society, we must learn a good foreign language. On the other hand, tell students that education has always been a road to Rome, we are in the peak of knowledge in different positions, different starting points, the goal is also different, which determines that we run to the goal of knowledge of the path is not the same, there is every reason to choose the goal that suits you.

Two, stimulate interest, cultivate self-consciousness

First of all, to let the students produce interest in learning. In fact, independent learning is not difficult, it is not just the patent of good students. Usually the knowledge we learn is a ring set of a ring, is gradual, gradually deepen, that is, on the basis of the original knowledge of the logic of deepening. It is normal to encounter many places that are difficult to understand. Students can mark the places they do not understand in independent study or gain through study group communication. When the teacher in the classroom to explain this aspect of the content, it will deepen the impression of these knowledge points, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Secondly, in the process of students' independent learning, there will also be many weak links. To better utilize the effect of students' independent learning, teachers should also give timely guidance. To strengthen the guidance of independent learning. Such as which aspect should be based on thinking, which angle should this question be considered from, or from which aspect the question is asked. And teachers can also set up some questions for students to think and explore with questions. Teachers should be the organizers, guides and facilitators of students' independent learning activities, creating independent learning situations for students, stimulating students' interest in independent learning, cultivating students' habits of independent learning, guiding students' methods of independent learning, and improving students' speed of independent learning.

Finally, make full use of the textbook of small exercises such as do a do, practice, discuss and so on. Let the students in independent study in the use of book knowledge to achieve the degree of integration. At the same time to ensure independent learning time. Students are the masters of learning, learning is the students' own thing. In teaching, teachers must give students plenty of time, so that students can fully read the text, fully think, feel, experience, explore, and seek the effect of independent learning, never let the students' independent learning to go through the motions. The idea of worrying that students' independent learning takes up too much time, affects the teaching progress and the completion of the teaching task is wrong. Because all teaching activities are to promote the development of students, in the teaching process, it should be the teacher to provide effective services for students' learning activities, rather than letting students serve the teacher to complete the established teaching tasks.

Three, guide the method, master the rule

Students master the scientific learning method, can make students learn more active, more rapid and efficient. The guidance of the student learning method I started from the following aspects: First, at the beginning of the school year to develop a learning plan, according to their own actual situation in detail to do inside the classroom, outside the classroom, in the school, at home, the specific objectives, and ask students parents and teachers to supervise the implementation of the situation; Secondly, in the classroom teaching penetration of the learning method of introduction, such as how to take notes, how to do the English-Chinese translation, etc.; Thirdly, to guide the students how to carry out after-school review, first review the day's learning content, ask myself what I learned today, and then ask myself what I did today, and then ask myself what I did today. Third, to guide students how to review after class, first review the day's learning content, ask yourself what I learned today, what I learned, and what need to work a little harder; Fourth, after class often talk with students to exchange learning experience, I usually collect in newspapers and magazines and their own personal experience of learning methods introduced to the students, to inspire them to continuously improve their own learning methods; Fifth, let the students to write a summary of the examination, requiring students to analyze the success and failure of the examination, focusing on analyzing their own knowledge in the learning process, and to analyze their own learning process, the knowledge of the study of the Chinese translation. Focus on analyzing their own knowledge in the learning process to master the degree of how to solve the problem is correct, answer the question of whether the time is arranged reasonably, etc., through reflection, and constantly adjust to improve the learning ability; sixth, the use of group cooperative learning, to achieve the everyone teaches me, I teach everyone, and in the cooperation and gradually cultivate the habit of overcoming difficulties, form their own learning methods, improve self-learning ability.

Fourth, cultivate the habit, develop the spirit

Self-learning is not an overnight thing, nor is it a matter of the student era itself, but a life-long thing that will continue. Wei Shusheng said: "Students initially no learning habits, as if a stationary car, produce the desire to cultivate good habits as if a fire, the first push can not be anxious, to be slow, slow only in line with the laws of motion, only in line with the psychological state of people." The habit of self-learning English should be formed gradually in the practical activities of self-learning English, to develop good self-learning habits, in addition to requiring students to have a better study plan, do a good job of pre- and post-course pre-review work, I also require students to regularly read some extracurricular reading materials, such as simple short stories, humor, character profiles, with Chinese and English control of the simple reading materials.

Fifth, expand the space, creative homework

Extracurricular homework as a supplement to classroom teaching and continuation of classroom teaching, consolidation of classroom teaching, test the effectiveness of learning plays an important role. The usual extracurricular homework is based on copying words and phrases, listening to tapes and reading aloud, which is repetitive and monotonous and seriously kills students' interest in learning. In order to stimulate students' interest in learning English, make them gain positive emotional experience and give full play to their intellectual level, I consciously change the form of homework. For example, after learning about the holiday unit, called the students to make their favorite holiday into the form of a poster, to introduce to their classmates, required to do the illustrations; learned about eating habits and lifestyle unit, called the students to go home to the family members to make a survey, and according to the understanding of the situation, respectively, to give the health advice; learned about the fashion show fashion, design of the unit, called the students to design a set of fashion, in the form of a poster introduction to the students. A set of fashion, in the form of posters to introduce their own works of style, texture, color, etc. ...... assignments like this revitalize the content of the textbook in real life, so that students can take the initiative to use the language learned to do their homework, and in the process of doing their homework naturally develop the ability to do so.

Cultivating students' ability to learn independently is not something that can be done overnight, and it needs to be researched and improved in future teaching. At the same time, teachers should also be more active in exploring and enterprising, constantly reflecting on teaching and learning, and strive to be an innovative research-oriented teachers to adapt to the development of modern society on the requirements of the English class. The proposal of "independent learning" in China reflects the new achievements of the research in the field of learning theory in China on the one hand, and puts forward a series of new and fundamental problems to the whole education and teaching reform in China on the other hand. The issue of "independent learning" has been established as an important research topic in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" of the National Science of Education, which indicates its importance and its wide knowledge in the theoretical community. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the research on it and clarify its connotation and status and significance in the educational process.
