3、分,而不是其全部内容。这种新的认识虽然与过去的教学艺术观有着一定的联系,但它更多的是创新和发展。本文旨在从美学角度对现代英语教学艺术作概括性的描述,并作些初步分析。 关键字:英语教学艺术 审美 创新 思维 语言艺术 提问的艺术 评价艺术 Abstract: At present people are paying more attention to the aesthetic thought of teaching day by day. Holding the teaching activities from the aesthetic angle has caused our new un
4、derstanding of modern teaching art. True modern teaching art which represents abundant or more aesthetic teaching exists in every teaching field; only such teaching can be rated as reaching the artistic teaching state. It is blameless that skill is called art, but the teaching skill can only be rega
5、rded as a part of teaching art, but not all its contents. Such new understanding may have certain contacts with artistic view of teaching in the past ,but it mostly innovates and develops. This text aims at doing the description of a generality to modern teaching art from the aesthetics angle, and d
6、oing some initial analysis. Key words: the art of English teaching; aesthetic; innovation; thinking art; art of questioning; art of evaluationA Brief Discussion on the Art of English TeachingICurrent situation of teaching of English and problemsThe English education of our country faces some severe
7、problems now. The existing structure of education cant already meet the actual demands. 1 From the learners cognitive angle, the language is a tool of knowing the world. When present people dwell upon with great relish in the topic of quality-oriented education, we should see even more, the forming
8、of foreign language teaching to students world outlook, outlook on life must exert a great influence. Developed countries pour into China to run the school of various educations on foreign language one after another in our times, type various captivating advertisements and encourage Chinese students
9、 to study abroad, this is not entirely that several words can be explanatory in simple “training foreign language talents .It is a uneasy one which foreign language teaching practice and foreign language teaching theory demonstrate analogous to cold degree, detach and ignore to language theory. This
10、, to implementation of quality-oriented education, is extremely unfavorable to the integral level, which improves the foreign language teaching of our country. 2 English chat methods appear frequently in the communication of the modern network, it reflects the network and exchanges simply, clearly,
11、swiftly and with the symbol and characteristic of expressing meaning of abbreviation letter, it is the portrayal of moderns fast rhythm life, current young men are in fashionable English of online communication even more, most of these young people are brilliant students in the university, English i
12、s not Jack of all trades , perhaps this is a direction changed in modern English, can you speak this kind of English wrong? The Canadian sociologists, authors of the book of “Growth of a Generation of Network” said smoothly and generally so then: A generation that following the network that the digi
13、tized media grows up, an idea of the human society that will change future.” What we are in is one world specializing in broadcasting the mode now, but these network of new generation life, study, amusement, they make environment open, inter dynamic and have impact on children. Their things grasped
14、in the child will influence the life state all ones life. They are masters in the 21st century. 3 The arrival of information age has proposed to the foreign language teacher of our country. What kind of challenge! Internet makes network English become an extremely important component of modern Engli
15、sh in global popularization. English teachers idea lags behind, knowledge wears out, it is the severe reality in front of educational front that the teaching means is outmoded. Speaking of the actual effect of English teaching, our English teachers all have deep experience. Children, in the city of
16、China, begin to study English from primary school 3 grade often, until the university, has studied the English for nearly ten years, and finally great majority produce little effect. What is the reason on earth? Perhaps a very important reason is, English can be regarded as foreign language (foreign
17、 language) instead of second language (the second language) in China. This question that the teacher ignores grade lasts for a long time in our country. 4 The language teachers focal points placing on the content of courses, the syllabus and having an examination formally will teach and pay attentio
18、n to some cultivation and control which transfer to such respects as students personality, interest, mood, etc. This is the great principle matter that the modern education thought is changed. Person on fact prove democracy think oneself , open , not calm friendly shows consideration for , not ready
19、 to help others clever imbued with logical appointing , generally speaking, its possibility of studying foreign language and succeeding should be greater than or the great learner of difference contrary to above-mentioned personalities . In addition, in the course of studying in foreign language, th
20、e influence because of the external factor, the learner will present the anxious depressed situation of having the fidgets etc. , the foreign language teacher is regarded as the organizer of the teaching activity, should pay attention to the cultivation and control of learners emotion factor of fore
21、ign language . 5 It is “emotion “that foreign language is studied and different from baby an important respect of studying course of the mother tongue. Generally speaking, it is a natural social course that the baby studies the mother tongue, it studies a kind of method to express emotion to study l
22、anguages, a great deal of social psychological factors of changes that foreign language study involves roles, even involve the question in such respects as personal dignity, ethics, etc. 6 The teaching method occupying a leading position is the law of grammar interpreter and hears of the law in trad
23、itional foreign language. Explanation and drilling into a main content of the traditional foreign language are teaching of the rule of grammar. With the rise of the communication teaching method, the position in the foreign language teaching of grammar teaching is weakened to some extent. By the eig
24、hties, some language scholars repelled the position in the foreign language teaching of grammar teaching publicly, object to controlling the teaching project method of grammars at any teaching stage. Influenced by this view, during one period in the eighties, grammar teaching disappeared in some for
25、eign language classrooms for a time. 7 The development of English book can not be suitable for the change of modern English. Some sentence patterns are changed in different situation, and the meaning of some useful phrases has changed .we should use English properly. II. Essential feature of the art
26、istic view of teaching. First, teaching art means teachers personal teaching skill or teaching skill mainly; its range is limited to a series of behaviors that a teacher teaches mainly. To be more precise, teaching art is art that the teacher teaches. This is the most broadly-defined understanding o
27、f art, the behavior or result of namely all high skills can all be called this thought of art closely. Teaching practice, which accumulate abundant experience, solve concrete problem to use for the experience to succeed in, and make teaching activities with certain uniqueness work, will just reach t
28、he level of certain artistry. Second, teachers teaching and creation of artist have connection that they all belong to the art, thus the teacher requires to comprehend artists essence of creating activity, and get a certain beneficial inspiration from it. People liken the teaching of the teacher to
29、the painter then , the basic attribute to regards the performing as teaching art, taking announcing the generality of a teacher and artist activity as starting point. Seeking this clue has found a lot of contents for the teacher to need to draw conscientiously when engaged in the teaching activity f
30、rom the routine art activity. Third,the art of teaching is two kinds of developing direction of teaching. In the field of teaching, repel science what one or two people hold make people difficult in isolated opinion that is accepted just on outside totally. If the thought is biased, it will be very
31、dangerous to apply the purpose and method of science to the mankind and individual, teaching It is a science that most people incline to study in preach even more, it is an art, or think further, teaching must be the science at first, then art. Concrete meaning of it can interpreted as, teaching sci
32、entific manor teaching activity can or relatively part of strict control strict control, teaching manor of art is unlikely part of strict control, the science of teaching and art of teaching are clearing away different obstacles on the teaching development path each, deal with different problems. In
33、 addition, the science of teaching is regarded as and can be taught, and art of teaching seldom can have teaching nature, art can only be try to find out and takes shape gradually in the teaching practice by the teacher. Fourth, teaching art contain certain aesthetics. In the artistic view of past t
34、eaching, it is not a very outstanding characteristic to be aesthetic, clearer statement of it only exists in one or two peoples thought. In addition, some real teaching workers often link up aesthetic enjoyment and teaching art obtained in ones own activity.III. Teaching art Modern teaching what art
35、 show really aesthetic to move towards, make beautiful garden with hundreds of flowers to bloom, this is that teaching is beautiful. Perhaps it is not very noticed by common people, but for teachers and modern teaching researchers, but it is full of glamour. 1. The art of language The teachers langu
36、age artistic level concerns the quality of classroom instruction directly. Teachers naturally smooth intonation, the rhythm of rising and falling rhythmically can make students place oneself in the midst of the good language and study the environment, guarantee teaching information to the best effic
37、iency during the process of transmitting, train students good hearing and English pronunciation and intonation in every day edifying. In order to make students experience comparatively pure English, teacher imitate the teaching recording of the original edition carefully promptly while preparing les
38、son, experience its sophisticated appeal, enable to improve ones pronunciation and intonation while giving lessons to keep unanimity with the audio tape, thus get rid of the influence of mother tongue and dialect, form the pronunciation beautifully. The teacher with vivid content to teaching tells t
39、he imitation is true to life to personages language expression, and then mix the figure language just right and instructs students how to listen to the sound, imitation, performance etc., it is intense interest to promote students to learn. Classroom English teaching is simple and convenient true co
40、mmunication place, where teachers use English to organize teaching best, embody of the true scene going on the communication activity of English. The English used in class should be simple, easy to understand. While requiring students to talk in pairs, both hands are closed up side-by-side, say: Pai
41、r work, please.” Whenever free talk was suddenly silent, encourage softly: Dont be afraid. Never mind. Whenever students answer correctly, say in time: Very good! Well done! Great! You are clever.” shows praise. Humor is also important part of teaching. “Humor comes from the transliteration of Engli
42、sh humor. It is the quality of being amusing explaining it in this way in the dictionary. It means that uses the meaningful philosophic theory of the county by the humorous rhetoric tactics, in order to try to get the special artistic result. Now, the humor is favored more and more by people. Drawin
43、g support from the humor, the writers have created the humorous production, the painters have created the humorous caricature, and the performer has created the comedy. Certainly, the teacher can go to a hall of excellent English lessons for the students are through the humor too. Relax the tense se
44、nse. Humor can cause smile, smile in physiology is of value to spirit and physiology relax function to prove in studying. I remember that on the psychological book: laugh heartily can relax each main muscle position in the human body. Smile 100 times is equivalent to rowing the boat for 10 minutes a
45、t least in one day. “And it needs tense sense, but the tense study of 40-50 minutes, for students in success of classroom to obtain knowledge; it is a very big spiritual pressure. Giving students some humorous materials frequently during giving lessons and luring students laugh, the students tense m
46、ood will be relaxed to some extent frequently, learning efficiency will be higher too. Promote the connection during teachers and students. What do you think? Whats the secret of a successful teacher? I think that their success is based on the relation between teachers and students. Some teachers th
47、ink: there are not bad or good teachers. There are only teachers that behave strict with their students and these teachers are the ones that consider teaching as a way to teach students the way of life. The other groups of teachers are the kind that considers teaching as couple of wasted hours sitti
48、ng with students that have no interest of teaching. But to be a good teacher, it does not only depend on the teacher, but also depend on some activities of the students and their wishes to learn something new. But I dont think so .I think teachers play a more important part in the teaching. The relation is the basis of high quality education. Students of teenage years are not like kids. They are already grown-ups and they like
