It emphasizes paying attention to students' overall perception in the process of education and teaching. It has the characteristics of stability, openness and development, and it is the basic guarantee for students to better adapt to the future social development and promote lifelong learning and all-round development. In order to improve the effectiveness of English classroom teaching in primary schools, teachers are required to attach importance to and strengthen the teaching of English core literacy on the premise of student-orientation, continuously improve students' interest and ability in learning English, further improve their comprehensive quality, and lay a good foundation for their subsequent English learning.

First, the connotation of English core literacy analysis

Core literacy includes three aspects: cultural foundation, independent development and social participation, as well as six qualities: humanistic background, scientific spirit, learning to learn, healthy life, responsibility and practice innovation. In primary school, the cultivation of students' core literacy is mainly achieved through subject teaching. Primary school English core literacy mainly includes language ability, cultural character, thinking quality and learning ability. Among them, language ability is the "core" of the core literacy of English subjects, especially the students' comprehensive application ability of language knowledge. Cultural character is the ability of students to understand Chinese and foreign cultures and identify with excellent cultures. Through the cultivation of cultural character, students' awareness and ability of cross-cultural communication can be improved and Chinese excellent traditional culture can be promoted. Thinking quality refers to students' thinking personality characteristics such as memory, understanding, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and innovation. Learning ability refers to students' ability to learn English. Language ability, cultural character, thinking quality and learning ability are interrelated, interactive and complementary. Learning ability runs through the whole process of English learning, which is the basis of language ability, cultural character and thinking quality, and can further improve students' English learning ability.

Second, to carry out English core literacy teaching effective strategies

Modern educational psychology research shows that the primary school stage is an important stage of individual physical and mental development. Judging from the process of students' individual growth and development, the primary school stage is a critical period, which is more important than middle school and university education. Pupils, especially those in middle and senior grades, are enterprising, curious and like to explore and accept new things, which is a good opportunity for schools to educate people through disciplines. Therefore, it is particularly critical to cultivate students' core literacy through subject teaching in primary school. The author puts forward the following effective strategies to carry out English core literacy teaching through the practice of English classroom teaching in primary schools.

(A) the creation of English teaching situations to improve students' ability to use English.

Due to the physical and psychological characteristics of primary school students, they are curious about new things and like fresh and interesting things. Therefore, in classroom teaching design, teachers should not only fully understand the learning situation, but also create English classroom teaching situation according to the cognitive characteristics and teaching content of primary school students, so as to help students better understand and master the characteristics of English language and learn to communicate correctly and appropriately. For example, what can you do in the fifth grade of the learner education edition? In PARTA: Let's talk & Let's learn, we can design life-oriented situations according to teaching objectives and contents, be close to students' reality, and guide students to learn to solve practical problems in English. In the introduction before class, you can use songs and games, or talk freely in English for three minutes before class to attract students' attention and set off the classroom atmosphere. In the process of teaching development, follow the principle of from simple to complex and from easy to difficult, and guide students to have an open discussion on Halloween party activities based on text knowledge. In the homework after class, students can design a competency questionnaire and ask them to complete it independently. This can not only help students to consolidate and internalize what they have learned, but also help students to expand what they have learned, guide students to use English classroom knowledge in extracurricular study and life, and then improve their English language application ability.

(B) Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and cultivating students' English cultural character.

Cultural character refers to students' understanding of Chinese and foreign cultures and their recognition of excellent cultures, as well as their knowledge quality, humanistic quality and behavior orientation in the application of English knowledge and ability. According to the investigation of English teaching in primary schools, most teachers pay more attention to the cultivation of students' language ability, learning ability and thinking quality, while ignoring the cultivation of cultural character, which leads to the overall effect of core literacy cultivation is not good. Therefore, teachers are required to constantly strengthen theoretical knowledge learning, update teaching concepts and pay attention to the focus and hot issues of education and teaching at home and abroad. In classroom teaching, based on texts and courses, we should guide students to gain knowledge of Chinese and Western cultures, at the same time, thoroughly and comprehensively understand the connotations and differences between Chinese and Western cultures, absorb the essence of culture, and understand and respect communicative culture. Only in this way can we guide students to form correct values, outlook on life and morality, and conduct cross-cultural communication appropriately and appropriately. For example, unit 5 of the first volume of the third day of the People's Education Edition, "Let's sit down! In teaching, teachers can design a series of activities, not only to let students know about British food culture, but also to distinguish the differences and reasons between Chinese and English food culture through comparison.

In English classroom teaching, teachers should actively create opportunities for students to express themselves in English, thus cultivating students' divergent thinking. For example, when learning animal words, you can use words such as dogs and cats as headdresses, and design the situation of forest animals holding sports meetings to attract students to participate. Through dialogue, let students learn animal vocabulary, understand the application scenarios such as "playfootball, playbas-ketbal, goswimming", and then drive students to flexibly apply English knowledge to English communication. Teachers should arouse students' initiative and enthusiasm by boldly setting doubts. We should also pay attention to the combination of old and new knowledge, and improve students' analogical thinking ability by reviewing the old and learning the new. The knowledge of English subjects is logically related. When learning some new words, you can also teach words that are related or opposite to the memory meaning, so as to improve the efficiency of students' memory of words. In addition, teachers should also pay attention to the integration with other subjects in teaching, so as to broaden students' knowledge and integrate what they have learned. For example, when learning English vocabulary, we can use the similarity between Chinese Pinyin and English letters to help students remember the pronunciation of English letters and English words; When explaining English words related to sports, we can combine sports items to assist teaching.

(D) using a variety of methods to cultivate students' English learning ability

1. Cultivate students' autonomous learning ability. Use network micro-video and other resources to provide support for students' learning. Guide students' autonomous learning with problem-driven or activity-driven methods. At the same time, teachers should pay attention to strengthen guidance and answer questions for students in time.

2. Pay attention to the guidance of learning strategies. In the middle and senior grades of primary schools, teachers can guide students to learn to use extracurricular learning resources to obtain relevant information. For example, when learning module 1 unit 1 Lucy livendon. The fourth grade edition of FLTRP can guide students to use resources such as libraries, encyclopedias or the Internet to search London-related information in various ways, enrich classroom learning and show it in class. To sum up, in English teaching practice in primary schools, in order to better cultivate students' English core literacy, teachers should base themselves on students' reality and teaching practice, and carefully design every teaching link through innovative teaching ideas and methods, so as to make students more willing and better at learning English, so as to effectively cultivate and enhance students' English core literacy and realize efficient and high-quality English teaching.
