How to assign English homework in elementary school

How to arrange elementary school English homework

Homework is an indispensable part of the teaching process is the continuation and perfection of classroom teaching. Its purpose is to allow students to further consolidate the knowledge learned in the classroom, the use of knowledge learned in the classroom to train their language skills, improve the level of communication in English. At the same time, scientific and reasonable homework arrangement will play a timely feedback role on students' knowledge mastery, which is conducive to teachers to better complete the teaching task.

One, homework arrangement should be targeted.

Homework design should highlight the key points, difficult points, conducive to the implementation of English teaching objectives, to consciously design and layout of relevant content, so that the homework objectives are clear, so that the students can contact the actual life of the situation created, in line with the ability level of the knowledge students have learned. Thus, every student can experience the joy of success and motivate students to do their homework. For example, the teaching of the unit of fifth-grade English My Family, you can let the students play the role of family members after class, a group of several people voluntarily combine, play different roles to write a dialog, role performance in the classroom. Through this oral and written training students mastered the sentence patterns to be mastered.

Second, the homework assignment should be interesting.

"Interest is the best teacher" is the first condition for learning any subject. Therefore, when assigning homework, we can't always let students copy words and write sentences, which will make them feel boring. Therefore, teachers should try to make the type of homework diversified, novel content, lively and interesting, only in this way can arouse the curiosity and desire for knowledge of the students, so as to stimulate their interest in learning, so that they are active in learning. For example, when teaching the third-grade English class Happy birthday, let the students discuss the specific circumstances of their own birthdays: whether there is a Birthday party, whether there are Birthday presents, whether there is a Birthday cake and candles. The discussion is very intense.) The discussion was very intense. After the discussion, have the students draw a picture of the birthday cake and presents. And let their family members sing a song "Happy birthday" when they celebrate their birthdays, so that the students apply the new knowledge without realizing it.

Three, homework assignments should be streamlined.

In the new form of education that promotes quality education and reduces the burden on students, teachers must take good care of the quality of homework. To carefully select and design the teaching content in line with the exercises, so that the homework is less precise, but at the same time can be targeted training for students. Both consolidate the knowledge and exercise the English communication skills, can not be assigned excessive homework. To put an end to the "sea of questions", otherwise the students produce anorexia, to avoid the psychology of homework will be twice the effort, the loss is not worth it.

How to set up effective homework in elementary school English

Keywords: various forms, step by step, combination of old and new, easy and pleasant, show interaction.

In the process of implementing quality education, burden reduction is one of the first tasks. To reduce the burden, how to assign homework to students has become a topic of discussion among teachers. What kind of English homework should be given to students? Especially for primary school students who have not yet taken English as a major subject, they should be given some to cultivate their interest in learning, a combination of skills, optional homework, so the design of homework should be as much as possible from the actual start of the students at all levels, pay attention to grasp the degree of difficulty, so that students with strong learning ability to "eat", and to ensure that students with weak ability to do the work. Weak students can do, "jump a jump" can pick the fruit to adapt to the needs of different levels.

Of course, in order to reduce the burden on students, homework should also strictly control the total amount, especially to control the amount of mechanical exercises. The design of homework should be based on the textbook, centered on the teaching requirements, and matched with the textbook and the teaching objectives of each class. Therefore, when designing homework, teachers should understand the basic and developmental objectives of the textbook and each class, and then design and prepare homework for the objectives to ensure that the objectives fall, so that homework radiates a strange light.

I. Diverse and colorful forms.

Primary school students are curious and interested in new things, so in the design of homework should be multi-perspective (listening, speaking, reading, writing) in many forms (letters, words, sentence patterns, dialogues, short essays, skits, etc.), so that the students of a variety of organs to participate in the activities, so that the basic knowledge, basic skills, and the ability to use the training. However, the effective attention time of primary school students is relatively short, therefore, when implementing the principle of diversity, it is necessary to prevent the tendency of too many questions and complicated types of questions. The design of homework should be selected and refined, and the amount of homework should be reasonably controlled. For example, teachers should assign optional homework according to the different levels of students and let students choose one or two of their favorites. For example, after teaching Happy New Year, students are given the following selective assignments:

(1) Draw a comic strip comparing Chinese and Western festivals.

(2) Choose a familiar children's song to mobilize motivation.

(3) Strong students try to write a short essay and read it aloud to their classmates.

(4) At least have to read the text fluently.

In this way, students who like to draw will choose the first homework, after the teacher to organize the students to evaluate each other and talk to the activities with the painting, in the process of painting, writing, talking, it will be familiar with the knowledge of the unit, and students who like to sing can choose the second, with their own songs into the appropriate words or phrases, catchy and beautiful expression, so that the learning and singing into one, greatly stimulate the interest and will not make them have to read the text fluently. This will greatly stimulate the interest of the students and will not make them feel the pressure of homework.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

Happy New Year Chinese and England.

In the spring, in the winter.

In the spring, in the winter.

In the spring, in the winter.

Happy New Year Chinese and England.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

We decorate a Christmas tree.

We give presents, we sing Christmas songs.

We decorate a Christmas tree.

We give presents, we sing Christmas songs.

Happy New year in England.

The teacher should collect and check these assignments in time, and provide a stage for students to show their assignments from time to time, such as organizing the English corner and other activities to enrich the second classroom. Many students will bring their usual speaking, singing, and acting assignments to be displayed in the activities.

Of course, the homework should take into account the training of knowledge, skills and abilities, and it can also be the homework to cultivate interest. For example, the production of certain learning aids and so on. In addition, it can also be part of the homework to go to the library and through the computer, the network to find learning materials or practical activities such as materials, in order to cultivate students' practical ability and innovative spirit.

Two, step-by-step and flowing.

Prepare homework questions according to the procedure from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, from simple to complicated. Give students an orderly, step-by-step homework tasks, guide students "step by step", so that students taste the joy of success, stimulate their interest in completing the homework. For example, the kinds of homework mentioned earlier, of course, can not be reached in one breath. For example:

a, drawing to learn English can start with drawing individual objects to write words, and then progress to sentences, dialogues, and even comic-strip style stories.

b, lyrics can be set from simple children's songs, such as "What's your name?", "How are you?", etc., set into the words or simple sentences and then to the students can be familiar with their own repertoire and free creation.

c, writing short essays or sketches can be a combination of old and new, from less to more, the degree of low 3-5 sentences, 5-7 sentences, of course, the ability of the strong is the more the better. Can not do students, the teacher can even make up a good dialog, put spaces for students to fill in the words or sentences, gradually let go to self-editing.

d, do not be greedy and face mask to.

C. Combine the old and the new in a glorious way.

English subject by its own characteristics, students need to review often. For this reason, teachers should design assignments that organically combine new and old language materials. Let the students see how the new language material is related to the language material they have already learned. For example, when teaching the sentence pattern What're they doing, the teacher mainly learns the present progressive tense What're they doing? After the lesson, the teacher gives the students a list of activity scenes from singular to plural and asks them to color the pictures and give each picture a dialogue in the present progressive tense. The teacher gives the person of each picture and guides them to write What's Li shan/Lucy doing? What're they doing? They're playing football. Teachers add some dialogues before and after the pictures to make the whole picture a coherent comic strip. In this way, the old and new knowledge are linked together. In the next lesson, let the students bring their own pictures to communicate with each other, or group dialogues, act them out, and check the homework in the form of random checking, so that the students can once again feel how to make the old and new knowledge coherent. For example, after teaching the module of food, we let the students combine the expressions of the module of Festival, compare the differences between Chinese and Western customs and food, and make up their own sketches, which received better results.

Four, relaxed and colorful.

The amount of homework should be moderate, in order not to increase the excessive burden of classroom work on students as a prerequisite. The control of the daily amount of the most several disciplines **** the same consultation, lest students lose sight of the rest of the students can not be guaranteed. For example, the aforementioned preparation of dialogues, performances, painting, etc., to one to two weeks as a unit, according to the content learned during this period of time to give a thematic homework, students in the painting, singing, acting, preparation of dialogues in any one of the same, this is the teacher to check the work of the teacher to be sampled, and every day to be taught this week's text with the tape recorder to read 3-5 times, about every day to use 15 minutes. In addition, the students are instructed to study at every opportunity, and to play recordings of English at bedtime, during meals, or in their spare time, to create an atmosphere for themselves to learn English.

Fifth, show interaction, colorful.

In elementary school English teaching, writing less homework, so that homework seems to be unable to collect the inspection. No, as long as there is homework, no matter what homework must be checked in time. However, now the elementary school English teaching has not yet fully spread, the lack of teachers, a teacher often face hundreds of students, homework is really difficult to change a batch, what to do?

a . Open an English corner to provide a stage for students who love to sing, act and recite, and provide a five-minute time and space to show various kinds of homework in each class on weekdays.

b. Holding school-wide activities such as singing English songs, telling English stories, reciting, and making speeches is also one of the forms of displaying homework.

2. Teachers and students combine to play the role of mutual assessment and self-assessment.

a. For writing assignments, teachers can take turns correcting the assignments by random checking, and excellent assignments can be displayed in the "Learning Corner" of each class as an encouragement.

b, the teacher can not correct, in the students set up a group leader, the group leader to check, recorded in the register provided by the teacher, the teacher receives and checks the register, supervise the completion of homework.

c, students set up their own growth bags, collect their own writing assignments, record their own work in drawing, singing, acting and reading, after a period of time, first self-summarize, and then communicate with each other, evaluate each other and promote each other.

Homework is not only a mutual feedback of teaching information between teachers and students, but also a bridge to contact and communicate the feelings of teachers and students. In the homework of the students' thinking and independent learning, attentive teachers can be perceived. Similarly, the teacher's comments on their work, provide them with a stage for display, the students can also appreciate whether the teacher is sincere, confident and responsible for them. Teachers must encourage students' efforts in a realistic way; show heartfelt appreciation and joy for their achievements and progress; point out faults and omissions in students' work in a sincere and appropriate way; and be sympathetic to and responsible for students who are lagging behind. Praise should be appropriate, criticism should be euphemistic emphasis on encouragement.

Modern educational psychologists believe that achievement motivation can well stimulate human learning motivation. Students are eager to succeed, the motivation to succeed is a great emotional power, it can make students produce the initiative to seek knowledge of the psychological impulse, which will also be shown in doing homework. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to the students to assign homework as little as possible the same copying questions, more can be appropriate free play of the topic or problem, so that students of different levels and different preferences have to play the space of imagination and the opportunity to put forward different views, and then lose no time to give praise and encouragement. Let homework become an extension of the classroom, radiate a strange light, and become a wonder to assist English teaching!

How to Cultivate Primary School Students' English Writing Ability

(I) Capture the Normality of Writing in Stability, Accuracy, and Toughness

All behaviors are subject to constraints, and "without rules, there is no square circle." Therefore English writing also has to follow the rules. Teachers in the new teaching of each rule to the writing body to regulate the students, this normative practice to adhere to all the time, otherwise the wrong easy to preoccupy, only adhere to the normative teaching in order to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent teaching of writing, students can gradually develop good writing habits. I think, in the English writing teaching, steady, accurate, ruthless is the key elements of standardized writing.

1. How to be "stable"?

When students first learn to write, they should first cultivate the habit of reading and then writing, open the first window, let students learn to learn, good observation, generalization. Once found that some students did not seriously see, listen to the teacher writing rules and steps in a hurry to write, the teacher should stop in time to focus the attention of the students before explaining.

2. How to be "accurate"?

"Teachers, the model of man", the teacher's own writing is a model for students, so teachers must be demonstrated in place. Through teaching observation, found that some teachers letter tilt angle is too large, even pen writing and other phenomena, teachers in improving their own quality at the same time, can take the following measures, so that students grasp the accuracy of writing.

(1) Use color teaching to solve the problem of easy confusion of strokes.

(2) Hands-on labeling effectively solves the problem of confusing strokes.

(3) Help students summarize writing skills

To help students summarize and conclude in a timely manner can make twice the writing effect with half the effort, and teachers can make use of the following methods.

●Use of children's songs, mnemonics to assist students in English writing

Letter writing, I penetrate the following a children's song.

The letters of the alphabet are written in a regular pattern, tilting five degrees to the right is just right.

Capitalization is always two spaces up, not on top of the line is the principle.

What about lowercase letters? Please bear with me as I look down the page:

There is a "braid" on the top two squares (b, d, h, k, l), and a "tail" on the bottom two squares (g, q, y),

No braid

No "braid", no "tail" in the middle of the grid (a, c, e, m, n, o, r, s, u, v, w, x, z),

But f, j, p accounted for three frames,

i, t in the middle of the upper one and a half frames, against the textbook to see carefully,

Raise the good habit of writing, the key is to practice again and again. The key is to practice over and over again.

When teaching sentence writing format, I used a jingle: "Capitalize the head, punctuate the tail, and reduce the period to a dot. The words are separated and not stuck together, so you can't pronounce them on a string of candy canes." With such interesting and vivid jingles, the rules of sentence writing in English are quickly grasped and memorized by the students.

●Capturing typical letters for teaching

Comparison of printed and written forms: the uppercase printed form of the letter I and the lowercase printed form of the letter L are the same, and some students will write upside down in the process of copying, which should be emphasized by the teacher.

3. How to be "ruthless"?

The "hard" here is "strict". Teachers should strictly guide students to write letters of the alphabet practice, the first step while observing the book empty practice, skillful stroke; the second step in the textbook for the letters of the tracing; the third step in the copy of the copybook copy on the writing; the fourth step in the extracurricular book on the consolidation of practice.

Combined with the actual students in our school, to establish a list of students with poor writing ability and learning conscientiousness, the use of after-school time for individual guidance, combined with interesting exercises one by one, the students' writing level has improved significantly.

(2) Diversified and Interesting Exercises to Dispel the Dullness and Ineffectiveness of Writing

1. Interesting Exercises to Achieve the Purpose of Effective Consolidation

In order to maintain the students' motivation to learn English, teachers can design innovative writing exercises that will have a great attraction to the students when they stop copying and writing indiscriminately. When teaching letters of the alphabet, students are often asked to do some of these exercises. For example, writing the left and right neighbors of the given letters, changing the given letters to upper or lower case, correcting mistakes, etc. Through these forms not only accelerate their proficiency in letters, but also train their writing skills.

After the upper grades students are able to copy the letters proficiently, we can let them try to copy the words, or go further to copy the sentences, texts and so on. At this time, we can let the students do some integrated letter writing, word writing and sentence writing requirements of the topic, such as copying "THIS IS MY COMPUTER", and its upper case letters and then changed to lower case letters, written as a complete sentence. Let them keep practicing comprehensively, and gradually familiarize themselves with the writing of these letters and the changes between upper and lower case.

2. Competition as a carrier to keep students' interest in writing

In order to keep students' interest in writing in English, I have conducted a semester-long writing competition in my class. Requirements of the workbook writing, must be standardized, beautiful, each homework writing to meet the requirements of the group leader, please draw two stars on the homework scoring sheet, writing is not standardized, beautiful only one star. Through the visual form, combined with timely evaluation, stimulate the desire of students to write well, prompting students to complete each writing of high quality.

(C) Using tiered teaching and cooperative learning strategies to promote the development of each student's writing

In the writing exercises, by asking the best students to copy with a pencil on a line grid - with a ballpoint pen or in a line grid on a line grid - For advanced students, we should lower the writing requirements, and we can't do it quickly enough. Require them to use a pencil in the four lines of the grid in one stroke down to copy, and then depending on the specific circumstances of the gradual increase in requirements.

(4) Effective and accurate evaluation to promote writing progress

1. Utilize peer teaching to stimulate students' writing potential

Peers play a very important role in the learning process. When you realize that you are better or worse than your peers, the feeling is often stronger than from your parents. The self-efficacy that comes from being better than your classmates seems to be much easier and more effective than external encouragement. And the feelings of inferiority and shame he feels when he is inferior to his classmates also work strongly on his behavior.

Utilizing this psychological, in the writing teaching, the excellent writing assignments and poor quality assignments (not listed names, to maintain students' self-confidence in learning) at the same time on display (such as good friends of the work at the same time on display will be more effective) for evaluation, to the writing backward students to the visual impact and then to the spirit of reflection, to promote the writing.

2. Humorous language evaluation, effective error correction

Students' homework, I try to correct in the classroom, and the use of humorous motivational language to feedback in a timely manner, such as:

Sentence writing, words and words are stuck together: Wow! So many candy canes! /You're so mean! You're giving the words so little space, they can't breathe! (Leave one letter space between words).

No capitalization of the first letter of a sentence: Where's the boss of this sentence? (Capitalize the first letter of the sentence.)

The period is written as a hollow one: this sentence is still a combination of East and West! (English period should be solid not hollow)

Students listen to such a humorous but not too harsh evaluation, remember, the chance of the same error is much less, and the writing work has improved, in the face of the student's progress, the teacher should be timely affirmation.

How to correct and evaluate elementary school English homework

The arrangement of homework needs to pay attention to the way, the same way of correcting homework needs to pay attention to the way, if the teacher on the homework to adopt "do-it-all" all the approval of the whole correction, will not only consume a lot of time the teacher should be used to study the syllabus and the textbook, but also lead to the students of the teacher's corrections only results (for the teacher's). The teacher's correction only focuses on the result (right, wrong) and ignores the process (the reason for the error).　　

Here are my attempts at correcting and evaluating homework:

First, using a combination of "rough correction" and "fine criticism". How to "roughly correct"? For example Critiquing essays, if all corrections, to 50 people in each class, one minute per copy, it will take nearly an hour, both time-consuming and laborious. We may wish to check according to the different levels of students, and then collectively correct the typical errors that occur. How to "fine approval"? That is, the requirements of the "three will" or "four will" of vocabulary, grammar or communication terms constitute a variety of strengthening, consolidation exercises, review should not only be given to the right and wrong evaluation, but also for the students to be corrected for writing errors and point out the reasons for the errors, while the teacher himself or herself should write a good after-reading exercise. The teacher should also write a good after-reading notes.　　

The combination of "rough correction" and "fine criticism" not only enables the teacher to be targeted in the evaluation of exercises, but also enables the students to know their own knowledge deficiencies, so as to "prescribe the right medicine". "

This is the first time I've ever seen a movie in my life.　　

Second, the use of students "self-correction" and "mutual correction" combined. What is "self-correction"? That is to say, for those exercises with a single type of question and a lower level of requirement (such as word spelling, sentence filling or sentence structure conversion, judgment, etc.), the teacher can let the students make revisions against the standard answer. How to do "mutual correction"? That is to say, for the exercises in the unit consisting of "three" and "four" contents (such as completing dialogues, completing sentences, language use, etc.), the teacher will first make the necessary key hints, and then let the students exchange their assignments for mutual correction according to the hints (which can also be carried out in the discussion). The teacher will first give the necessary hints and then let the students exchange their assignments and correct each other according to the hints (this can also be done in discussion). At the same time, the teacher can be less interested in learning, the poorer students face-to-face tutoring and correction (which can also enhance the emotional exchange between teachers and students, remove the obstacles to students' thinking and learning, stimulate the desire to learn, and conducive to the "turn the poor to prevent the poor", so as to avoid the polarization of the large area).　

Third, the use of "student assessment" and "teacher assessment" combined mode.　　

If you finish the paper without commenting on it, the result will not be too good; but every time you comment on it, the teacher is not allowed in time and energy. This is when the student cooperative learning group plays a role. The group leaders can basically do the general test questions, they can replace the teacher to explain to the members of the group, the group members can also discuss and exchange with each other. Finally, the teacher will comment on and analyze the errors in the assignments, so that the students can realize the reasons for the errors and master the methods of correction. This saves the teacher's time and improves the students' learning ability and cooperative spirit.　　

How to do a good job as an elementary school English teacher

1, develop and implement teaching programs.

As an elementary school English teacher, first of all, according to the syllabus, the target requirements of the textbook, to understand the guiding ideology of the textbook, the content and the preparation of the idea , to design the main methods of classroom teaching, to formulate a yearly teaching plan, unit teaching plan, lesson plan, etc., in order to better achieve the purpose of teaching.

The implementation of the teaching program is the main task of teachers, how to implement should be based on the following teaching links: review (Revision). New lesson introduction (Leading in). Demonstration. Drill (Practice), consolidation (Consolidation), questioning (Questioning), the use of electrochemical teaching means (Teaching by using multi-media), language expression (Language expression) change the form of teaching (Teaching in). Teaching in different ways, Arousing the students' interest, Error-correcting and so on.

2. Classroom teaching.

Classroom teaching is the basic form of teaching today, is the main place for the full implementation of quality education. The work of teachers in the classroom is mainly to realize education, teaching tasks and management tasks. Teaching aspects include: reviewing, explaining, questioning, guiding students' learning, organizing discussions, arranging students' exercises, using various teaching tools, checking and giving feedback on students' knowledge and skills. Teachers must make students understand what they are learning in the classroom and give each student something to do. It is necessary to make students follow the teacher's teaching ideas in the classroom. Teachers should be good at stimulating students' interest in learning, mobilizing students' enthusiasm for learning, giving full play to the role of the main body of the students, so that the students are not yet finished, looking forward to the next lesson. Management includes: organizing teaching (in English as much as possible), dealing with incidental events in the classroom, helping students with individual education, praising and criticizing, and so on.

3, correcting homework.

Correcting homework is one of the teacher's jobs. Generally include classroom work, homework and exams, homework is a kind of feedback from students, teachers can find problems in time by correcting homework, and improve in the future teaching. And correcting homework is also a kind of encouragement and supervision for students. If the teacher just set homework without correction will lead to students do not take seriously, perfunctory, teachers are not easy to understand what students in the learning problem, can not be targeted.

4, extracurricular activities.

Elementary school English teachers should strengthen contact with students and their parents outside the classroom. Specific tasks include: ① preparing lessons, including consulting materials, studying the textbook, writing lesson plans, preparing teaching aids, making courseware, and discussing teaching-related issues with other teachers. ② Understanding students, talking to students, checking students' work. ③To guide the extracurricular activities group, such as organizing "English corner", English handbills, blackboards, English radio station, rehearsal of English programs, etc., to provide students with more opportunities and environments for the natural input of language.
