How to change the current situation of junior high school English homework and improve its effectiveness?

English homework is a natural continuation and supplement of classroom teaching. Excellent homework design is the basis for teachers to test classroom teaching effect and improve classroom teaching strategies. It can help students digest, absorb and consolidate what they have learned in class, enrich their after-school life, stimulate their subjective consciousness, stimulate their interest in learning English and create their learning potential, expand their learning ideas, enhance their ability and comprehensively improve their comprehensive English quality, thus reducing their learning burden and improving the effectiveness of classroom teaching. The new English curriculum standard emphasizes facing all students, respecting students' individual differences, advocating independent, cooperative and inquiry learning methods, and paying attention to process evaluation. This idea requires us not only to use it in classroom teaching, but also to put forward requirements for the arrangement of homework.

English homework is an effective extension of classroom teaching and an important means to consolidate knowledge and cultivate ability. It is an important criterion to test students' English learning and feedback teachers' teaching effect. The homework process is the generation and embodiment of students' knowledge, ability, emotion, attitude and values. Therefore, I think that the arrangement of English homework should not only be based on teaching materials, but also aim at broadening students' horizons and letting them feel the characteristics of English culture from all angles. Teachers should strategically design and arrange English homework based on advanced concepts, avoid the shortcomings of previous English homework, and promote the effectiveness of students' English learning, that is, cultivate students' positive attitude towards learning English, develop students' comprehensive English language ability, and learn to study independently.

English homework is an indispensable teaching link in English learning. The quality of English homework not only affects students' English academic performance, but also affects children's good study habits. However, in actual teaching, due to various reasons, there are many problems in English homework, which need to be solved urgently. In the usual teaching and research activities, we found the following problems in students' English homework:

First, English homework in the actual teaching problems:

1. English homework is single in content and form, lacking flexibility and application.

Usually, in the process of English teaching, the content of teachers' homework design is limited to English books, focusing on consolidating knowledge points, often divorced from students' reality, and the form of homework is monotonous and mechanical, generally focusing on copying words, phrases and texts, ignoring students' oral communication function and comprehensive language application ability.

2. English homework ignores students' differences and lacks hierarchy and personality.

When assigning English homework, teachers often adopt a "one size fits all" strategy, treat every day's homework equally, and don't respect the individual differences of students, resulting in outstanding students not having enough to eat and students with learning difficulties not being able to do it. Over time, the top students can't get out, the poor students are getting worse and worse, and they have no confidence. English homework does not fully reflect the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, which hinders the development of students' personality and the cultivation of language application ability.

3. English homework is arbitrary and lacks pertinence.

In actual teaching, the homework assigned by the teacher is random, and students often do it with ready-made homework. In the process of students' homework, sometimes they will find some problematic homework. Many teachers often find that it takes too long for students to finish their homework. The teacher didn't notice the quality of these homework in advance, let alone the research homework. This kind of mechanical borrowing, without purpose and pertinence, actually reduces the quality of homework and gradually kills students' interest in learning English.

4. English homework evaluation focuses on results and lacks motivation.

Homework is uniformly corrected by teachers, which often pays too much attention to the objective results of homework and ignores the process, methods, attitudes and emotions of students completing homework, especially the lack of encouraging evaluation. Gradually, the phenomenon of copying homework for grades has seriously affected students' learning enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Second, the current situation of students' homework is:

1. Many students' homework is scrawled and their writing is not standardized.

Students spend too much time doing English homework every day.

3. Students are not interested in homework and perfunctory.

Students want to try to do some novel, exploratory, open homework that is closely related to real life.

At this stage, we can easily find that most junior high school English homework stays in the traditional aspects of copying, reciting and applying grammar exercises. Every time I correct students' homework, I always find that some students are dealing with their homework or simply don't do it. Students are not interested in homework, which directly affects the improvement of academic performance and the cultivation of students' practical ability and innovation ability. Students' innovative practical ability can not be developed.

Based on the effectiveness of homework design, this paper puts forward concrete measures to improve the present situation of English homework, and introduces the actual homework and design scheme.

First, improve the current situation of English homework and design effective homework:

1. Based on the present situation of our school and the students' reality, under the guidance of middle school English teaching assignment design under the new curriculum concept, this paper analyzes the main problems and shortcomings in the current assignment design, puts forward solutions, and explores the forms of assignment design under the new curriculum concept from the aspects of interest, cooperation, hierarchy and practicality.

2. Seriously analyze the problems and disadvantages of traditional homework design in junior middle school English, update educational concepts and improve classroom teaching methods. We should not only strive to improve the efficiency of classroom teaching, but also carefully design and arrange homework, so as to fundamentally realize "reducing burdens and increasing efficiency". Always take cultivating students' ability to use language in communication as the starting point and destination of English teaching, and improve teachers' professional level and ability.

3. Explore new forms of homework design to reduce students' homework burden and improve students' interest and self-confidence in learning English; Improve students' learning strategies and methods, and improve students' comprehensive ability to use language.

4. By arranging some inquiry homework, students can move from in-class to out-of-class, from books to life, from passive learning to active inquiry, from "asking me to do English homework" to "I want to do English homework". On the basis of completing different types of homework, they can achieve different degrees of success, learn to cooperate with others, learn to apply what they have learned, get comprehensive and active development, and finally realize lifelong learning and self-improvement.

5. Teachers should further change their roles and correct their positions in the teaching process, so as to make students' dominant position in the activities more prominent and get real development.

In the new round of education reform, teachers have gradually changed from just studying teaching methods to studying teaching methodology, but most teachers focus on how to improve classroom teaching efficiency, improve teaching methods and cultivate students' thinking ability and innovation ability, while ignoring the research on the effectiveness of homework design, an important link in teaching. The assignment of homework is an important part of the teaching process. Grasping the homework process and improving its effectiveness are particularly important for improving the quality of education and teaching and promoting the all-round development of students.

Second, improve the current situation of junior high school English homework, starting with students' learning situation:

1, according to the requirements of curriculum standards, improve the design of homework exercises according to the training objectives, and promote the effectiveness of homework exercises. By optimizing homework exercises, students are guided to study easily in life and their learning ability is generally improved. 2. In the teaching process, do a good job in analyzing the learning situation and explore a set of effective methods to optimize students' homework exercises and cultivate students' learning ability.

3. Through the arrangement of inquiry homework, students' learning potential is stimulated, so that they can truly understand and master knowledge, skills and thinking methods in the process of independent exploration and cooperative communication, gain rich experience in activities, improve their ability to solve problems, and at the same time enable students to develop their emotions and attitudes in willpower, self-confidence and rational spirit.

4. Enrich the forms of homework and effectively guide students to finish their English homework.

5. The content of homework should be combined inside and outside class, students' autonomous learning and cooperative learning, inside and outside school, and theory and practice, so as to be as close as possible to students' life.

Third, how to design homework and improve the effectiveness of homework.

1. Teachers design effective homework, mainly from the aspects of interest, cooperation, hierarchy and practicality, and explore the forms of English homework design in rural junior high schools under the new curriculum concept. In terms of "interesting homework". Choose homework forms suitable for students' age characteristics and existing knowledge and experience level, such as reading and recording homework, singing a song, drawing a picture and other written and oral homework. In terms of "cooperative work". Design students' homework from English dialogue and performance. In terms of "layered operation". Design homework with different completion time, form and result, respect students' personality, reflect students' differences and design different homework. In terms of "practical homework". Design and make homework, investigation report, oral communication and other homework, and build a platform for students to communicate and practice.

2. Teachers should guide students to pay attention to the process and methods of doing homework. Letting students acquire knowledge is not the only purpose of homework design under the guidance of English curriculum standards. We should make students turn their attention to the process and methods of English learning, as well as their feelings, attitudes and values. Let students learn to learn, learn to cooperate and communicate in the process of completing English homework, and learn to solve various problems, all of which come from learning methods and communication ... to guide students to solve these problems and make improvements while solving them.

3. Edit students' works to provide students with a platform to show their creativity in English learning.

In short, teachers should sum up the problems existing in the current English homework design through investigation and study, and understand the students' favorite homework forms, the time occupied by English homework every day, and the actual effect. In the practice of English homework design, natural, authentic and valuable research information and materials are obtained through observation, discovery, adjustment and analysis, and the most effective methods and strategies are sought through the detection of English teaching effect. Explore more effective homework design, so that students can actively participate in the cognitive process of acquiring knowledge and solving problems. Participate in homework efficiently, so that students can clearly define the evaluation criteria and learn to sum up knowledge and laws. Effective teaching should not only pay attention to teaching in class, but also pay attention to students' learning after class.

Many parents still attach importance to written homework rather than oral homework; Heavy work quantity and light work quality; Pay more attention to difficult problems than basic problems ... this leads to the arrangement of some inquiry and topic-based homework that cannot be fully cooperated and supported by some parents. This requires students to publicize to their parents, and teachers use parent-teacher conferences, school magazines and home visits to publicize advanced teaching concepts and the importance of students' inquiry learning practice. For students, children's nature is fun. In their eyes, homework is always a constraint and pressure. How to keep students' enthusiasm for homework for a long time involves scientific evaluation, the cultivation of students' study habits, the cooperation of parents and many other issues. Therefore, teachers need to extend the study of homework effectiveness to other educational levels besides homework design.
