How to Infiltrate Humanistic Spirit in Senior High School English Teaching

Many schools and teachers put the teaching goal on the exam, which makes the humanistic quality education in senior high school English teaching not be highly valued. This paper will start with how to embody humanistic quality education in senior high school English classroom teaching. Key words: senior high school English, humanistic quality, teaching concept, classroom teaching and cultivating humanistic education play an inestimable role in improving people's comprehensive quality. It highlights the truth, goodness and beauty of the world with rich cultural connotations, injects sufficient cultural nutrients into people's lives, nourishes people's inner humanistic spirit, and urges everyone to become a person with both cultural literacy and physical and mental harmony. As the important successors of the country's future development and construction, students should pay attention to the cultivation and shaping of relevant aspects as the primary direction of education. At present, senior high school English is a subject with both instrumental and humanistic features. From the students' point of view, English is not only a tool for language communication, but also a symbol of culture. By learning English, students can not only improve their comprehensive quality and promote the maturity of their mentality and rational emotion, but also learn advanced foreign cultural knowledge more conveniently and deeply and strengthen international communication with the deepening of English learning. Therefore, English teaching in senior high schools should be student-centered and emphasize humanistic education. If we abandon "humanistic quality" in the teaching process, it means abandoning the essence of Chinese teaching. 1. The problem of integrating humanities education into English teaching in senior high school English is an important subject in the college entrance examination, and its potential utility is self-evident. Under the impact of the current exam-oriented education, various assessments and indicators lead teachers to simply instill English words, grammar and other related trivial contents into students in the classroom. Moreover, through the strategy of asking questions, students' sense of language is cultivated, thus generating conditioned reflex to various questions and finally achieving ideal scores. Driven by such a utilitarian environment, the communicative performance of English has not been fully demonstrated, and the essence of English as a language communication and expression of ideas has been ignored. In addition, influenced by China's traditional education model, English teaching in senior high schools has been reduced to a process from means to goal. The vivid image of language itself is divided into language items, and the whole teaching only pays attention to simply accepting knowledge irrigation, ignoring the diversified value, cultural connotation and humanistic quality of language. As a result, the present situation of foreign language teaching such as deaf-mute English and cultural shock exists. 2. How to embody humanistic quality education in English classroom education in senior high school (1) Using teaching materials as the breakthrough point of humanistic education From the current teaching conditions and teaching tools, teaching materials are the main content of students' learning and teachers' teaching. Under the situation of new curriculum reform, the overall arrangement of teaching materials pays more attention to the systematic correlation between content and objectives and its cross-penetration with other disciplines, and the coverage of content is gradually expanding, including natural science, cultural diversity, emotional education and so on. To sum up, the arrangement of senior high school English textbooks provides a good opportunity for infiltrating humanistic education. Using teaching materials as the starting point of humanistic education is an important measure to embody humanistic spirit in classroom education. How to effectively introduce humanistic quality into classroom Chinese teaching, so that teaching can be truly implemented, is a problem worthy of teachers' serious consideration. On the one hand, the dialogues and articles involved in the teaching materials are linked with the topics related to humanistic quality, so that students can also learn this knowledge when learning dialogues or articles. On the other hand, teachers can give lectures on a certain culture through activities such as English corner to make up for the limitations of the content involved. (2) Interactive teaching with students in the teaching mode is a process of combining teaching with learning, which requires encouraging teachers to give full play to their leading role in the teaching process and students to give full play to their subjectivity and conduct good interactive links. On the one hand, it improves students' enthusiasm for learning. On the other hand, it is helpful to expand the path of humanistic quality education. Before the interaction, teachers should arrange the topic range, so that students can actively find and collect relevant content in their spare time, and learn some cultural background in the process. In the process of interaction, teachers should actively and correctly guide and evaluate, so that students can exchange and discuss related topics well, and ensure a relaxed and lively classroom atmosphere and effective teaching activities. Of course, this also requires teachers to do their homework and integrate relevant content comprehensively and systematically. After the interaction, teachers should combine the content, leave relevant homework, and pay attention to effectively connecting the basic knowledge of language, humanistic quality and the current situation of students, so as to improve students' English thinking, oral expression ability and practical comprehensive analysis ability. (3) Due to time constraints, students can't learn and master relevant knowledge in depth, so it is particularly important to carry out activities with the theme of humanistic literacy in the form of second classroom education. Its activities can be divided into reading, audio-visual, performance and other activities. In reading activities, teachers can recommend English newspapers, electronic magazines and literary works with strong applicability to students. In this process, students are required to pay attention to the development trend and capture the latest language and cultural information in time by reading the history, cultural background and traditional culture of relevant countries. In audio-visual activities, students should be exposed to English native songs and film and television works as much as possible, appreciate English original works from different angles, and explore the interesting and rich cultural connotations contained in English. In the performance activities, it is the requirement of the new curriculum reform and the call of the times to let students immerse themselves in the fun of English in life and study through songs and dances, textbook plays and speeches, and to understand the differences between English-speaking countries and China in manners, words and deeds, treating people and living customs. It is also the call of the times to cultivate students' humanistic ideas and carry out relevant humanistic quality education. As a teacher, it is necessary to effectively infiltrate the concept of humanistic quality into teaching projects, which requires teachers to keep forging ahead, practice their internal skills and be good teachers. According to students' different learning stages, foreign language teaching should be kept open and flexible, properly combined with other subjects, and consciously, purposefully and systematically integrated into the content of humanistic quality. In addition, we should respect and care for students, cultivate their sound personal dignity, beautiful quality and correct outlook on life and world, and urge them to adapt to the needs of future development and become high-quality talents with all-round development in the new century. The combination of English teaching in senior high school and humanistic quality education is imminent.
