《教学法》期末论文My Teaching Philosophy II have a dream that one day I can be a teacher. During my college life, I have tutored some kids. And I also have taught pupils as a volunteer. In addition, this term, we learned A Course in English Language Teaching. Therefore, I have my own understanding about teaching philosophy by combining theory with practice.1.The role of a teacherK. Patricia Cross has said, “The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate …apparently ordinary‟ people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying win ner: it is in making winner out of ordinary people.” I totally agree with the quote. A teacher is the one who shapes the personality and entire life of children. It is one of the noble professions as it contributes in building the future of the country and overall society. Teachers play a significant and a valuable role as they influence the lives of children who are the future of tomorrow.2. My understanding of good teachingWhen you strive and work to become a good teacher and to create a good class, the following four “Core qualities” are the essential, the skills to convey that knowledge, the ability to make the material you are teaching interesting and relevant, and a deep-seated respect for the student. The first is knowledge, in every survey, students consistently and clearly target as the number one quality of a good teacher exactly what you would expert: knowledge of the subject. You must be an expert in your field. This is a prerequisite. The second core quality is the ability to communicate their knowledge and experience to their students. Give your students an answer and they can solve one problem, but show them the techniques needed to find the answer for themselves and they can become self-sufficient in the field. Students need to show how to apply the new techniques you teach to problems solving. A good teacher starts with a firm knowledge of the subject, and builds on that with a clarity and understanding designed to help students master the material. Good teachers work hard to make their material relevant. They show students how the material will apply to their lives and their careers. And the last one is respect. The creation of a good class requires an immense amount of work. You spend time with your students so you canlearn about holes in their understanding. You read and write and create to build an exciting and interesting class every day. The only thing that would drive you to do that is a concern and respect for the adults in your classroom.3．The ways to correct errorsThere are different ways and techniques for correcting errors, such as direct teacher correction, indirect teacher correction, self-correction, peer correction, whole class correction, etc. As a general rule, indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than d irect teacher correction to avoid damaging students‟ self esteem and confidence. Indirect techniques include‟ repeating the problem sentence with an emphasis on the problem in a rising tone‟, …asking a question to invite the students to say it again with a hint of a problem‟, …a simple repetition of a correct sentence as a model‟, and …using facial expression or gesture to indicate a problem‟, etc. In practice, self-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction because if it is a mistake, the student himself/herself will be able to correct it. If the student cannot self-correct, it means there is a lack of competence and the teacher can help with the correction or may ask other students to help correct it. Sometimes, the whole class can be divided to correct as well. For example, you can select the main error types. Write four or five on the blackboard. Put students in pairs for a few minutes to discuss and correct the errors. Then the whole class can do the correction together. The focus can be choice of vocabulary, use of grammar, or pronunciation. With higher lever learners you can also focus appropriate context.4. Motivating students to succeedMotivational speakers inspire all of us. You can take a few tips from them in your own teaching. Put positive mottos or inspirational statements on your syllabus and communicate them to the students in class. Encourage our students to want to excel in your class by helping them to do more than they thought they could.When you describe the goals of the course, do so with enthusiasm. do so with enthusiasm. Personal connections make a big difference. Try to learn your students' names as quickly as possible, and refer to them by name. If you have a large class or if you are notMy Teaching Philosophy IIIn my first draft, I introduced my own understanding about teaching philosophy by combining theory with practice. Now, in the second draft, I will focus on what I will do if I am given a chance to conduct a course in the middle school in the future.How to conduct a course in the middle school1.The context of the courseMy learners will be the middle school students. They have already have had one previous experience of English learning with a basic knowledge. Chinese education system is examination-oriented education. Meanwhile, China‟s educational system determines some learners‟ motivation of learning English-passing examination. Therefore, in the middle school, usually they show great interest in English at the beginning of learning, which may be due to their curiosity and the novelty of English. But with the development of study, their interest decreases and even disappears. The teachers use the same and boring teaching model. And the students have to memory words, phrases, and sentences for examination. In the class, they have no question but only take notes. And in this day and age, English plays more and more important role in China. And our country pays more and more attention to English. This class, I will teach unit 2 which about something about illness, healthy.2.Course aims and objectivesMy course is to describe the knowledge, skills, methods, value of the course by using specific, clear and operational behavior language.Objectives: By the end of the session, most students will be better able to acquire information. This will be achieved by:⑴ . Knowledge Objectives:①Be able to master the pronunciation, meaning and spelling of the name of diseases: fever, sore throat, sore back, stomachache, headache, toothache, cold, cough;② Be able to learn the expression of giving advice: lie down and rest, drink hot tea with honey, see a dentist, take this medicine;③Be able to talk about health problems by using “what is the matter? I havea …” and give advice by using “you should… you should not…”⑵. Ability Objectives:① Be able to talk about one‟s health problems and give advice fluently;② Be able to role play doctor and patient.⑶ Moral Objectives:① Improve the cooperative spirit through pair work and role playing;②Care more about yourself and your family members‟ health.3.Teaching ProceduresStep 1: Warming upGreet Ss by asking them: How are you today? Then I will tell Ss that I am not feeling well today (Write the sentence on the blackboard and guide Ss to read it.) and get Ss to guess the reason freely. If Ss cannot get the answer, I will tell them that I did not have a good sleep last night. So I have a headache. (I say this by doing a gesture) Step 2: Presentation of words about diseases⑴ Show Ss a bandage and tell them there is something wrong in the place where the bandage lies. Then get Ss to guess the health problems. When I do an action, ask Ss: “What‟s the matter?”(write it on the blackboard) For example, when I put the bandage on the stomach, ask Ss: “What‟s the matter with me?” Help Ss say: “I‟m not feeling well. I have a stomachache.” Then teach the other target words: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back in the following way: Put the bandage on the other part of body and get students to ask: What‟s the matter? Then get other Ss to guess the problem.⑵ Use body language to guide Ss to guess another two names of diseases: cold, cough.⑶ Show Ss pictures of diseases half hidden, and get Ss to guess the names of diseases: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back, cold, cough.Step 3: Pair workPut the bandage on the part of a student‟s body and ask: “What‟s matter?” andguide him to use t he pattern: I‟m not feeling well. I have a… Then ask Ss to work in pairs and talk about health problems by using the bandage given and using the target language: What‟s the matter? I‟m not feeling well. I have a …Step 4: Presentation of expressions of giving advice⑴ Tell Ss that I have a cold/cough, ask them: What should I do? Ss may give different answers, collect their answers and help them to use: You should/shouldn‟t do… Then show some pictures of other diseases mentioned before and ask them to give advice to each problem by using target language: You should/shouldn‟t do… During this activity, some phrases will be learned: lie down and rest, drink hot tea with honey, see a dentist, drink lots of water, take some medicine.⑵ Show Ss two bags. In one bag, there are pieces of paper with problems while in the other one, there are pieces of paper with advice. Have a competition between boys and girls. Take turns to get paper. For example, one boy gets one paper with problem, and one girl get one paper with advice. The girl should say: What‟s the matter with you? The boy should answer the question according to the problem he got by saying: I‟m not feeling well. I have a…If the girl got the right advice, she should answer it accord ing to her paper: You should… If it is not, she should say: You shouldn‟t, then give the right advice. The one who makes right sentence can get one point.Step 6: Role playingAsk Ss to make a four -people group, one of them is a doctor, the other three are patients. Ask the Ss to role play the dialogue above. Then ask several groups to perform before the class by using some tools: bandage, a uniform, a stethoscope. Ask other Ss to select the best doctor and the best patient.。
