The Design of English Classroom Teaching Activities under the New Curriculum —— A Case Study of English Classroom Teaching in Primary Schools under the New Curriculum

English classroom activities are an important part of classroom teaching, a basic way for students to study purposefully under the guidance of teachers, and an important way for students to learn and practice languages. Every activity designed by the teacher in each class must be closely related to the content learned and can run through the whole class.

Reasonable use of classroom teaching activities in English class can stimulate students' interest in learning, improve teaching efficiency, enable students to master English in activities and form their initial English application ability. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the current situation of primary school English classroom teaching activities design and how to design classroom teaching activities under the new curriculum concept.

English Curriculum Standard points out that English teaching should "adopt activities and advocate experiential participation". Primary school English classroom teaching adopts activity teaching mode. The so-called activity class teaching mode is to learn, train and use language in activities as the carrier. Therefore, effective classroom activities are the key to a good English class in primary schools.

First, an overview of the design of primary school English classroom teaching activities

(A) the concept of primary school English classroom teaching activities design

The purpose of English teaching is to cultivate students' ability to communicate skillfully in English, and to "persist in taking students as the main body and give play to the leading role of teachers" in the whole teaching process. Therefore, the activity design of primary school English classroom teaching aims at cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability, creating an atmosphere for learning English, improving students' comprehensive language application ability, and establishing a new teaching mode of "promoting development through activities".

At the same time, we can also understand "classroom activity design" as: in order to achieve the preset teaching goals, according to the needs of students, we should integrate the teaching content and what to teach (curriculum, content, etc. ) and how to teach (organization, methods, use of media, etc. ) are all designed.

(B) the characteristics of English classroom teaching activities in primary schools

The characteristics of English classroom teaching activities in primary schools are students' autonomy, teaching initiative and flexibility of content. In classroom activities, students are the main body, and students' participation is the main form of teaching activities, so as to combine learning with use, hands-on with brain, knowledge with practicality, ideology with interest. The remarkable feature of English classroom teaching activities in primary schools is the language practice class with various forms, situational content and communicative process.

Pupils have strong imitation ability, good memory and strong desire to express, but their understanding ability is relatively weak, and their attention is easily distracted in class. Therefore, adopting various forms of teaching activities in daily teaching can make the best use of the situation, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and let them gain something from their favorite learning methods. Therefore, the use of activities in English teaching activities in primary schools can reduce students' mental stress in learning, help teachers create a relaxed learning atmosphere, stimulate students' autonomy and self-confidence, help students gain experience and experience success directly through participating in activities, and cultivate students' personality, emotion, cooperative spirit and sense of responsibility, so that students can develop in an all-round way in English class.

Second, the new curriculum concept of primary school English classroom teaching activities design

(A) the interpretation of the new curriculum

1. Face the students and improve their skills. English courses should be geared to all students, pay attention to each student's learning situation, pay attention to their emotions at the same time, pay attention to quality education, stimulate their interest in learning English through diversified teaching methods, let them succeed in continuous learning, help them build up their self-confidence, urge them to use English boldly in study and practice, improve their ability and cultivate their innovative spirit in practice.

2. Pay attention to design and highlight personality. The goal of English course in basic education stage is to cultivate students' comprehensive ability to use English, and to cultivate students' "ability to do things" has become the core of education. We should choose teaching materials and design teaching links according to students' actual situation, not limited to the original teaching mode, but be brave in trying and innovating.

3. Highlight the subject and respect the individual. The ultimate goal of English course is to make students develop in an all-round way. Therefore, when setting teaching objectives, formulating teaching contents and designing teaching process, we should take students as the center, give consideration to all students, reasonably design courses, and help teachers implement teaching, so as to stimulate students' interest in learning and improve their learning skills.

4. Promote experience with activities. The new curriculum requires students to complete the preset teaching objectives through practice, cooperation and experience under the guidance of teachers, and to establish self-confidence through success, so the application of activities in teaching is particularly important. Teachers should consider the actual situation of students and encourage students to actively participate in the design, so as to form a positive learning attitude and promote the improvement of language practical application ability.

5. Cite evaluation to promote development. Teaching evaluation is an indispensable part of teaching activities. The main purpose of evaluation is to understand students' learning mastery, check whether the English teaching objectives have been achieved, improve students' learning initiative, help them build their self-confidence, further adjust and improve teaching methods, and promote the development of each student.

(B) the new curriculum concept of primary school English classroom teaching activities design requirements

The English Curriculum Standard points out that teachers should completely avoid the traditional "one person, one lesson" teaching mode and adopt the "task-based" teaching mode. Teachers should combine the teaching content of this lesson, design learning tasks that are in line with students' reality, and encourage students to think actively, communicate in English according to the given learning tasks, and fully complete the learning content of this lesson.

When designing task-based teaching content, teachers should pay attention to the following points:

1. Activities should conform to the established teaching objectives; Have a clear purpose and operability;

2. Activities should be close to students' life and be operable;

3. Activities should focus on the cultivation of various skills to achieve all-round development;

4. Activities should encourage students to participate, communicate with others in English in practice, and cultivate the ability to solve practical problems in English;

5. Activities should be extended to extracurricular activities, so that students can find the fun of learning in extracurricular activities and improve their grades.

With the comprehensive promotion of the new curriculum reform, the construction of activity-centered task-based teaching mode will become the ideal teaching mode pursued by primary school English teachers.

Third, the new curriculum concept, the development and implementation of primary school English classroom teaching activities

(A) the characteristics of primary school English classroom activity design

1. The effectiveness of classroom activities. In normal teaching, teachers often like to design some activities to consolidate the new content taught in this class. At first, due to lack of experience and consideration, some activities failed to achieve practical results. After teaching the five senses words (face, mouth, eyes, ears, nose ...), I wrote the word cards on the blackboard one by one and designed a game: invite three students to come forward, one will give instructions, and the other two will point them out quickly according to the instructions. When two students on the stage were practicing, the other students didn't actively participate in the game as I expected (gesturing in their books). Some of them are talking, some are reading, and some are making trouble, which is completely divorced from the purpose of activity design. After-class reflection, when the content of the second class is the same, I changed the original game to the elimination system. Each group selected 1 student representatives to take the stage, the teacher gave instructions, and the Taiwan school quickly pointed out that whoever was quick and allowed to step down slowly was replaced by two students. The winning team got extra points. After one round, ask the students to act as teachers and give instructions. The effect of the game is very different. Every student actively participates in the game, which not only consolidates the words, but also stimulates the interest in learning and cultivates the sense of collective honor.
