1、Lesson PresentingAbstract: This is a brief instruction to a newly created form of teaching activity, namely, lesson presenting, which is believed to be beneficial and effective for improving the teaching level of teachers in both practice and theory.Key Words: lesson presenting, teaching, research 1
2、.Introduction In recent years, “lesson presenting”, a newly created form of teaching and research, has been spread out rapidly in all subjects. With the reform and development of education, this new and fresh form has bought up a new demand of teachers in both teaching practice and theory. And based
3、 on the analysis in practice and theory, it is undoubted that lesson presenting has been producing an outstanding effect on teaching. Aimed at making a further study of “lesson presenting”, the reasons for its rise and the specific connotation of it will be brought under discussion in a way. 2. The
4、Reasons for the Rise of “Lesson Presenting” Schools are the institutions in which people are educated. It is known that the decisive factor for running a school well is to improve teaching quality. And to improve teaching quality relies on various elements, which have positive effects on the educate
5、d, and among which the most crucial one is the teacher. With the requirements growing higher and higher of the quality of the laborers, the society is sure to call for higher quality of teachers. Educators must be educated first, that is, only when the quality of teachers are improved can the solid
6、foundation be built up for the laborers with high quality. Judging by the macro environment, nowadays, teachers must have comparatively high teaching level. They cant be only so-called “teaching- smith” in traditional sense but experts in teaching and education to carry out the task of cultivating s
7、tudents to develop all-round. By teachers joining in teaching and researching activities, it will promote teachers to transfer from experience-orientation into theory-orientation. Lesson presenting is the very thing, which may help promote teachers teaching to realize this transformation, improve te
8、achers teaching quality and develop teaching standard.3. The Connotation of “Lesson Presenting”“Lesson presenting”, that is, based on the theory of education science and the teaching materials, aimed at every lessons or units particular feature, a teacher, who presents lessons, makes a clear instruc
9、tion to the conception of teaching setup and its related basis of teaching theory orally to other teachers and researchers. The object of it is the teacher, and it is a teaching and researching activity performed between lesson planning and lesson teaching. The purpose of it is to guide teachers, es
10、pecially the novice, to study the norms of lesson planning and to better methods of preparing lessons, to overcome or avoid teachers not preparing enough or carelessly, to impel teachers to make a deep study of the syllabus and the teaching materials, to recognize the difficult points and important
11、points, and to study teaching theory; it also promotes teachers not only to prepare teaching materials but also students; in other words, teachers should not only know what to teach but also be clear about how to teach based on teaching theory so as to decrease the teaching in a blind way or in a sl
12、ipshod manner, and also to improve the classroom teaching efficiency. Generally speaking, lesson presenting mainly includes four aspects:3.1 Presenting teaching materialsTeaching materials are the most fundamental basis of knowledge transferring and classroom teaching. Both of the understanding of t
13、eaching materials generally and the good grasp of part of the materials are very crucial for teaching well. Presenting teaching materials is to make concrete and specific analysis of the position of the materials, and the difficult and important points of the teaching materials, so as to make the te
14、acher himself/herself and other teachers and researchers clear about the teaching aims. So both of the notions of objectives and the guidance of direction should be strong enough.3.2 Presenting teaching methodsThe presenter should make clear about the teaching methods and measures in teaching, and t
15、he basis of the teaching theory. It also requires the teachers choose suitable and correct teaching methods. By making clear about “how to teach”, teachers should be able to break through important points, work out difficult points, and make students understand clearly and learn effectively. Present
16、ing teaching methods is aimed to make teachers know not only the teaching result but also the reasons for it. Based on modern scientific teaching theories, presenters ought to clarify why they would adopt the teaching methods that they decide on. Therefore, “presenting teaching methods” may reflect
17、on teachers teaching abilities and teaching levels. Presenting teaching methods may advance teachers to be active in studying teaching theories, and speedup the process of teachers transformation from experience-oriented model to theory-oriented in teaching practice.3.3 Presenting learning strategie
18、sPresenting learning strategies requires teachers master some teaching methods and theory to analyze and know about students real learning level and physiological learning conditions, to guide and instruct students to form and cultivate their learning strategies, and to make students study the conte
19、nts of the related unit or chapter in right ways. The presenter must make clear about which ways to be chosen and used can be effective to activate students enthusiasm for learning, to stimulate students to be active in thinking while learning, and foster students learning abilities. Learning strate
20、gies are the important means and approaches for students to fulfill their learning tasks. Learning strategies are quite ample, so they should be designed based on the specific subject and course. The basic features of right learning strategies should be scientific, objective, procedural, effective a
21、nd practical, and the five features mentioned above cant be divided, but supplement and complement each other.3.4 Presenting teaching processPresenting teaching process is to make clear about the presenters teaching ideas on the basis of theory, such as how to design the structure of the classroom t
22、eaching and how to design the writing on the blackboard. Here, presenting teaching process is, as it is not necessary to be so clear and detailed to present all the teaching process, not like retelling teaching plan before real teaching, but to make clear the theory basis of the whole teaching proce
23、ss and setup and the teachers own understanding of the design. So lesson planning may build on the basis of well-conceived theory, that is, to make teaching plan to be more scientific and rational.4. The Ways of Performing “Lesson Presenting” Lesson presenting can be carried out in various ways. Her
24、e are some of them, which may be useful and practical for performing lesson presenting.4.1 The study of presenting lessonsIn the study of lesson presenting, there must be clear researching theme, but there is no difference between presenters and listeners; it can be carried out in the form of discus
25、sion, enquiry, defense, interview and so on, thus the atmosphere can be light and democratic. In both teaching and research, it can be often adopted.4.2 The demonstration of presenting lessonsLesson presenting can be also used in the demonstrative lessons in schools. To be exact, it can be discussed
26、 about in teaching and researching groups, combined with the demonstrative lessons.4.3 The competition of presenting lessonsThe competitors may draw lots in advance to decide the topic or decide the topics by themselves beforehand, and then make a further study of the teaching materials, and write o
27、ut the script of lesson presenting. After that, they may go to the stage to make the lesson presenting to the arbitrators, who will make an evaluation on it.4.4 The inspection of lesson presentingBy the inspection of lesson presenting, the institution and teaching and researching department may get
28、to know teachers level of teaching theory and the standard of their professional quality. 5. Conclusion Lesson presenting, combined with lesson planning, lesson teaching and lesson assessing, embodies a whole teaching system, which will be a useful and effective means and approach to develop teacher
29、s teaching standard.By the foregoing analysis, we may be clear about the answer to the question by some people, that is, “Is lesson presenting a good teaching activity?” They hold such a point that its no matter whether a lesson presenting is good or not, above all, to teach well is the most importa
30、nt business. Lesson presenting is a new form of teaching and researching activity, which focuses on how to teach, moreover, on the theory base of teaching methods. It emphasizes the combination of practice and theory, which may enable both the presenter and the listeners to gain a lot by performing
31、it. And this is also its difference from lesson planning. Only when the teacher who presents lessons focuses on the study of teaching theory adequately, can he/she be in a favorable position to make good use of teaching materials, make good choice of teaching methods, make a good recognition of the
32、important points, concentrate on the main points soundly and reasonably, and present lessons with high level and quality. The teacher who presents lessons may well transfer his understanding of teaching materials, teaching methods and learning strategies from the individual to groups, and by the gro
33、ups discussion and understanding, it will be helpful to improve the individuals own teaching abilities, too, to promote the level of teaching theory of both the individual and the groups. After the lesson presenting, by the particular teaching activity, it is of great value to realize the combinatio
34、n of practice and theory, the practice guided by theory and the specific teaching practice moving upward to theory. In the end, the teaching staff, as well as researchers and experts, make an assessment on lesson teaching, which will be very beneficial for teachers to reflect on teaching process or
35、make an adjusting. For sure, combined with lesson planning, lesson teaching and lesson assessing mutually, to spread lesson presenting in teaching and researching activities will promote teaching and research to a new level. It is certain that it can be an important means and measure to reinforce cl
36、assroom teaching and it will play an important role in developing teachers professional quality. Meanwhile, it is also very worthwhile popularizing in the field of EFL teaching.
