课堂角色扮演英语作文Role-playing is a fun and effective way to learn English in the classroom. It allows students to practice their language skills in a realistic and engaging context. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits of role-playing in English language learning and share my own experience of participating in a role-playing activity in class.Firstly, role-playing provides students with a meaningful and authentic language experience. By assuming different roles and interacting with others in a simulated environment, students can use English in a way that is relevant to their lives and interests. This helps to motivate them and make learning more enjoyable.Secondly, role-playing allows students to develop a range of language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. For example, they may need to read a script or prepare a dialogue in advance, listen carefully to their partner's responses, and write down notes orfeedback afterwards. This helps to reinforce their understanding of English grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.Thirdly, role-playing promotes social and emotional learning, such as empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving. Students learn to work together to achieve a common goal, negotiate roles and responsibilities, and resolve conflicts in a respectful and constructive manner. This helps tobuild their confidence, self-esteem, and interpersonal skills.My own experience of participating in a role-playing activity in class was both challenging and rewarding. Our teacher divided us into groups and assigned us different roles, such as a customer and a salesperson, a doctor and a patient, or a teacher and a student. We then had to act out a scene based on a given scenario, such as buying a product, diagnosing an illness, or teaching a lesson.At first, I felt nervous and self-conscious, as I wasnot used to speaking English in front of others. However,as I got into character and started to interact with my partner, I found myself becoming more confident and fluent.I also learned new vocabulary and expressions that I could use in real-life situations.Overall, I believe that role-playing is an effective and enjoyable way to learn English in the classroom. It provides students with a meaningful and authentic language experience, helps them to develop a range of language skills, and promotes social and emotional learning. I would encourage all English language learners to try role-playing and see how it can enhance their language learning journey.。
英语课堂教学的基本组织形式In English classroom teaching, there are various basic organizational forms that promote effective learning for students. These forms ensure active participation, engagement, and comprehension of the language. The following are some of the commonly utilized organizational forms in English classroom teaching.Firstly, a lecture-style format is commonly used to introduce new grammar, vocabulary, or language concepts. The teacher presents the information and provides explanations, examples, and demonstrations. This format allows students to passively acquire knowledge and understanding.Secondly, group discussions and pair work are frequently employed to enhance speaking and communication skills. Students are divided into small groups or pairs and given topics or tasks to discuss. This form encourages students toengage in conversation, express their opinions, and practice using the target language in a supportive and interactive environment.Thirdly, role-plays and simulations are utilized to simulate real-life situations, encouraging students to apply language skills in practical contexts. Students are assigned roles and act out scenarios, enabling them to practice speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills in a controlled setting.Fourthly, project-based learning is a popular form that encourages students to work collaboratively on an extended task or project. It allows students to apply their language skills and knowledge to a real-life context, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.Furthermore, interactive multimedia resources, such as videos, online exercises, and educational games, are often integrated into lessons. These resources provide visual andauditory stimuli, enhancing students' engagement and deepening their understanding of the language.Additionally, in order to assess students' learning progress, formative assessments such as quizzes, presentations, and class discussions are incorporated. These assessments provide valuable feedback to both teachers and students, aiding in identifying areas for improvement and promoting active learning.In conclusion, English classroom teaching adopts various organizational forms to cater to different learning needs. These forms include lecturing, group discussions, role-plays, project-based learning, multimedia integration, and formative assessments. These forms ensure active participation, engagement, and effective language acquisition for studentsin an English classroom setting.。

In a typical Audiolingual lesson the following procedures can be observed: recognition, imitation and repetition, __pattern__ drills(模式训练/句型操练), and follow-up activities(后续活动).35. At the level of classroom teaching, the Communicative Approach holds that activities should provide opportunities for learners to __use__ the language.36. The Cognitive Approach holds that learning a language is a process of acquiring __mental___control of the phonological, grammatical and lexical patterns(词汇模式) of a second language, largely through study and analysis of these patterns as a body of knowledge.37. Krashen sees the learner’s emotional state or attitudes as an adjustable___filter__(过滤器)_ that freely passes or blocks input necessary to acquisition.38. Gattegno anticipates(预见) that using the Silent Way(默教法)would require most teachers to change their perception of their __role__.39. Community Language Learning (交际式语言学习)advises teachers to consider their students as “whole persons”; the refore, the method is sometimes cited as an example of a “__humanistic__ approach”(人文主义教学方法).40. British linguists of structuralism(构造主义) believed that __elements__ in a language were rule-governed.V. Questions for Long Answers: (20%)Directions: The two questions in this section are to be answered on the basis of your own teaching experience as well as the theoretical knowledge you've learned. Ten points are given to each question.49. What advantages can be found in the Direct Method?(1) It makes the learning of English interesting and lively by establishing direct bond between a word and its meaning.(2) It is an activity method facilitating alertness and participation of the pupils.(3) According to Macnee, "It is the quickest way of getting started". In a few months over 500 of thecommonest English words can be learnt and used in sentences. This serves as a strong foundation of further learning.(4) Due to application of the Direct Method, students are able to understand what they learn, think about itand then express their own ideas in correct English about what they have read and learnt.(5) Psychologically it is a sound method as it proceeds from the concrete to the abstract.(6) This method can be usefully employed from the lowest to the highest class.(7) Through this method, fluency of speech, good pronunciation and power of expression are properly developed.50. What are the main features of the Communicative Approach?1.David Nunan offers five points to characterize the Communicative Approach:①According to the CA, an emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language. ②The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.③The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on language but alsoon the learning process itself. ④An enhancement of the learner’s own personal experiences as important contributing elements to classroom learning. ⑤An attempt to link classroom language learning with language activation outside the classroom.2.The most obvious characteristics of the CA is that almost everything that is doneis done with a Communicative intent. The teacher is concerned with the learnersthemselves, their feelings and ideas. The classroom activities are learner-centered.3.Students use the language a great deal through communicative activities such as games,role-plays, and problem-solving tasks. In this process, the focus is on meaning, rather than on language form.4.For learners who are studying in a non-English-speaking setting, it is very importantto experience real communicative situations in which they learn to express their own views and attitudes, and in which they are taken seriously as people.5.Another characteristic of the teaching / learning process of the CA is the use ofauthentic materials.6.The degree of learner-centered activity depends, among other things, on the typeof material they are working on. Unlike some contemporary methodologies such as Community Language Learning, practitioners of Communicative Approach view materials as a way of influencing the quality of classroom interaction and language use.Materials thus have the primary role of promoting communicative language use.7.There are three kinds of materials currently used in the Communicative Approach willbe introduced and they are labeled “ text-based”, “task-based”, and “realia”.(1). Text-based materials(2). Task-based materials(3). Realia-------Many proponents of the Communicative Approach have advocated the use of “authentic” materials in the classroom. These might include language-based realia, such as signs, magazines, advertisements, and newspapers or graphic and visual sources around which communicative activities can be built.8.Learner-centred activities provide opportunities for learners to focus, not onlyon language, but also on the learning process itself. This type of activities involve students in doing and making things. This practice agrees with one of the basic assumptions of the Commun icative Approach” students will be more motivated to learna foreign language if they feel they are learning to do something with the language.9.The role of the teacher:① a facilitator of students’ learning; ②a manager ofclassroom activities;③ an advisor of students’ questions;④ a co-communicator in the communicative activity.10.The teacher’s level of proficiency in the target language and her stamina have somebearing on the effectiveness of a given teaching strategy.11.The teacher has to possess a very high level of language competence, because she isthe main source of input, at least in the beginning stage and, especially, in the foreign language context.12.In a Communicative Approach classroom, lessons tend to be less predictable; theteacher has to be ready to what the learners say and not just how they say it, andto interact with them in as “natural” a way as possible; she has to use a wider range of management skills than in the traditional teacher-dominated classroom.13.The role of the learner: a negotiator; a communicator; a contributor; an independentlearner.14.Truly communicative have three features: information gap, choice of form and contentand feedback. An information gap exists when one person in the exchange knows something that the other person doesn’t know and he wants to know. Feedback refers to any information which provides a report on the result of communication which takes place not only between the listener and the speaker.15.Activities in the Communicative Approach are often carried out by students in smallgroups.16.Grammatical structure does not require explicit analysis or attention, and by thenecessary grammatical structure are automatically provided in the input.17.Classroom environment in the Communication Approach: ①cooperation and empathy;② learner-centred; ③tolerance of errors; ④working in small groups.。

On a sunny Saturday morning, I had the opportunity to attend a two-day English teaching research activity organized by our school. The theme of this activity was "Innovative Teaching Methods in English Classrooms." Below is a detailed record of the event.Day 1: Arrival and Opening CeremonyThe activity began with a warm welcome from the headmaster of our school. He emphasized the importance of continuous learning and innovation in teaching. The opening ceremony was followed by a series of workshops, lectures, and panel discussions.Workshop 1: Project-Based Learning (PBL)The first workshop focused on Project-Based Learning (PBL), a teaching method that encourages students to engage in real-world problems. The facilitator, an experienced English teacher, shared his insights on how to implement PBL in English classrooms. He emphasized the importance of collaboration, critical thinking, and communication skills. Participants were then divided into small groups to work on a PBL project related to a recent English novel they had studied. This exercise allowed us to experience the PBL process firsthand.Workshop 2: Flipped ClassroomThe second workshop explored the flipped classroom model, where students learn new content outside the classroom and use class time foractivities such as group work, discussions, and hands-on projects. The facilitator demonstrated how to create video lessons and explained the benefits of this teaching method. Participants were encouraged to share their experiences with flipped classrooms and discuss potential challenges.Lecture 1: The Role of Technology in English TeachingThe first lecture was delivered by a renowned English language expert. He highlighted the role of technology in modern English classrooms and discussed various tools and resources that can enhance teaching and learning. The lecture covered topics such as online dictionaries, language learning apps, and interactive whiteboards.Panel Discussion: Challenges and Solutions in English TeachingThe panel discussion featured a group of experienced English teachers from different schools. They shared their insights on the challenges they face in their classrooms and discussed potential solutions. Some of the key challenges mentioned were student motivation, classroom management, and assessment methods. The panelists also shared their success stories and best practices.Day 2: Practical Activities and ReflectionsThe second day of the activity was dedicated to practical activities and reflections on the topics discussed in the previous day.Activity 1: Role-PlayingParticipants were divided into groups and assigned different roles, such as a student, teacher, and observer. They were then asked to role-play a classroom scenario where the teacher is implementing a new teaching method. This activity allowed us to observe and analyze the effectiveness of different strategies.Activity 2: Reflection and SharingEach participant was given a reflection sheet to record their thoughts and experiences during the activity.

Whethera teacher plays his role well will directly influence the result of classroom teaching. Thisresearch paper illustrates seven roles that a teacher should play in English classroomteaching. They are organizer, director, cultivator, questioner, explainer, assessor andparticipant. While illustrating each role, the author elaborates the reason why a teacher should play this role, the importance of playing this role and how to play this role well.This paper aims to improve the efficiency of English classroom teaching and thereby achieve the English teaching aim.Key words: English classroom teaching; learner-centered classroom teaching;teacher’s role.I. IntroductionIn English classroom teaching, learner-centered theory has been accepted by more and more people. However, foreign language learning is a process of teacher-studentclassroom interaction.(Li Xiuying, Wang Yijing) Teacher’s participance and guide must not be ignored because without the proper role of the teacher, classroom teaching cannot go smoothly. In that case, in the learner-centered classroom teaching, what roles should the teacher act? The author of the paper thinks that roles of the teacher are becomingmany-faceted. The teacher becomes unity of organizer, director, cultivator, questioner, explainer, assessor and participant.II. Roles of a teacher1. As an organizerHarmer said, “ the best teachers should be those who thinks carefully abo ut what students should do in class and how to organize teaching and learning.” That is to say, the teacher should be an excellent organizer. The success of many activities depends on good organization that can stimulate student’s enthusiasm and potential.The main aim of a teacher when organizing an activity is to tell the students what they are going to talk about (or write or read about), give clear instructions about what exactly their task is, get the activity going and then organize feedback when it is over.This sounds remarkably easy, but can be disastrous if the teacher has not thought exactly what he is going to say beforehand.The organization of an activity and the instructions the teacher gives are of vital importance since if the students have not understood clearly what they are to do, they will not perform their task satisfactorily.Generally speaking, the organization of an activity can be divided into three main parts. In the first, the teacher gives a lead-in. The teacher and students may briefly discussthe topic in order to start to thinking about it. The teacher’s lead-in might be very simple,e.g. “you are going to test your artist powers by drawing a picture. The idea of thisexercise is to see how well you can talk about a picture and give instructions.”When the lead-in stage has been accomplished the teacher instructs. This is where he explains exactly what the students should do. He may tell students they are going to work in pairs and the designate one member of each pair as A and the other as B. At this stage, particularly in a monolingual class, it may be a good idea to get a translation of theseinstructions to make sure the students have understood.Finally, the teacher initiates the activity. He gives a final check that students have understood. e.g. “Has anyone got any questions… no ? … Good. Then begins!” Theteacher may ask the students to see if they can be the first to finish. Thus adding acompetitive element, which is often highly motivating.The lead-inà instruct à initiate à organize feedback sequence can almost always be followed when the teacher is setting up activities----when the teacher is acting as anorganizer. For the sequence to have the right effect the teacher must remember to work out carefully what instructions to give and when the key concepts for the activity are. His job is then to organize the activity as efficiently as possible, frequently checking that the students have understood. Once the activities have started the teacher will not intervene unless it is to use gentle correction or to prompt.2. As a directorTo ensure the realization of oral English teaching aim, the teacher should change his role consciously. That is, he should withdraw from the centric position of a class and set up a student-centered teaching pattern and thus he changes from the role of “controller”to “facilitator”. Although the teacher’s important role in classroom teaching is undoubted, he should not be the center of a class and the real center should be the students who are the most active leading role in the whole teaching process. In a word, a competent teacher should be a director who only plays a part in directing the overall situation and students are actors and participants of the play. (Hu Ronglian, 2000)The teacher as a director must have certain organizing ability to create happy and relaxed studying atmosphere. He must perform their commanding right reasonably and efficiently and enable their students to get into their roles as soon as possible. He must make sure every student has a chance to participate. Also the teacher should encourage the students who are afraid of speaking in class to open their mouths. What is more, in order to keep the communicative activities go smoothly, full preparations should be made.The teacher should select the subjects that the students are familiar with and interested in and the best way to accomplish it.However, it may be pointed out that student-centered position does not mean students dominate all. The teacher had better not let the students drift themselves and have free talk because students still have not had the ability to design a class.3. As a cultivatorEnglish is a highly practical subject, which requires English teachers to deal well with the relation betwee n knowledge and ability. According to linguists’ andeducationalists’ research, to learn a foreign language is to learn a technical ability. The aim of teaching a language is to cultivate students’ communicative competence, which iscreative. Modern lingui stic research shows that human being’s brain has an unlimited ability to make sentences. This theory reveals the creative feature of linguisticcompetence and the initiative of linguistic acquisition. So the teachers’ responsibility lies not only in teaching a language but providing them methods to improve themselves. In such a sense, a modern English teacher is not only a knowledge-giver, but also a method- introducer. The teacher should not explain a text word by word any longer but stimulate students’ th oughts and guide them to learn properly through designing and organizing teaching activities which can improve students’ linguistic competence.Good training ways, I think, are as follows.1) Role-playingPlaying in roles can stimulate students’ interest, and especially can improve their oral ability. Also, it is a good way to cultivate the performing ability because actors arealways strict with facial expression, gesture, etc.2) Free talk or morning reportThis is an efficient way to pu t what the students’ have learned into practice and improve their linguistic competence with the help of the teacher. Free talk or morning report can liven classroom atmosphere and encourage students to overcome timid feeling as well as develop their expressing ability.What is more, the teacher asks the students to express in several minutes before class.Students always make full preparations and the subjects concerned are very extensive. 3) Problem solvingIn this way, the teacher can stimulate stu dents’ thoughts through their observation, thinking and imagination. It is also a good chance to practice what they have learned,stimulate their studying motive force and cultivate their interest and thereby realize the aim of students’ taking part in pra ctical activities actively.On the other hand, we should not ignore teaching and training of basic knowledge because without basic knowledge, there are no techniques of the four skills andcommunicative competences.4. As a questionerTeachers’ qu estioning is a usual technique in English classroom teaching. It is also an important method to challenge, stimulate and develop their thinking. Sometimes, too,a well-directed question can act as a device for controlling a difficult member of the classor directing attention to the topic in hand.Questions that the teacher raises must have proper degree of difficulty. The questions should have students use their heads to overcome and then give the answers. Manyteachers use this as comparison for “let students jump to catch the fruit”. Soviet Union’s educationalist calls this “nearest developing area”. If the teacher’s questions are so easy that the students can give the right answers without thinking, they will have noenthusiasm; if the questions are unreasonably difficult for most pupils to answer, thestudents will also lose their zeal. So, questions must have proper degree of difficulty in order that students can “get fruits” through their efforts. In this way, student can improve their “jumping” skills.When a question is asked, sometimes the teacher is greeted only by silence but on other occasions the responses received can be at best impulsive and perfunctory. Thereare three strategies the teacher can adopt---directing and redirecting questions toparticular individual, prompting and probing.The teacher directs a question to a selected individual and this first response proves to be in some way unsatisfactorily, he might redirect it to be a second or third pupil. The timing of moment the teacher actually names the pupil who is to be asked or respond may be important. If he names the individual first and asks the questions afterwards, the pupil concerned will be alerted but the rest of the class will relax. If, on the other hand, he asks the question first and names the individual to answer it later, everyone in the class should be alert. If, on the other hand, no response of any kind is forthcoming, the teacher can try to overcome the impasse by directing the questions to an individual known to be usually helpful and reliable.Prompting, as a questioning strategy, is also easily grasped. For instance, when the teacher is greeted by prolonged silence after asking a question, it can be tempting to cut short everyone’s agony and simply tell the class the answer. If, on the other hand, he is determined to tease an answer from the class , and he finds that directing the question to individual still receives no satisfactorily response, he can assist the class by prompting them. That is, he can indirectly help them to recall relevant information or to try to make the question more accessible or comprehensible in some way.The final strategy in this section is probing. As the term suggests this entails encouraging a pupil, who has responded to a question with an answer that is abrupt or limited in depth or scope, to be clearer or more explicit, or to develop the answer in great detail. He wants pupils to say more, to “unpack” what they take for granted, or to explain or justify what they have said.When the teach er responds to pupils’ answers to his questions, the most obvious quality that is demanded is that he shows that he is listening to them and is interested in what they have to say. Clearly he will communicate this interest by what he says by way of reply, but also his manner and behavior. He will almost certainly looks directly at the child who is answering. He may perhaps also nod and smile, and he may give someverbal encouragement for the pupil to continue. Above all, when pupils have said what they want to say, you should encourage and reward them for their contribution.5. As an explainerIn students-centered classroom teaching, the teacher shouldn’t overexplain but get to point quickly. A lot of language classes nowadays are far less “teacher-dominated” than they used to be. The teacher should give the students the chance to learn how to develop their own thinking because understanding the text doesn’t merely consist ofunderstanding what the teacher says. It’s a process in which the students m ust be actively involved. Students should use what they know about to infer meaning and other sorts of information.However, sometimes the teacher’s explaining is very necessary. The teacher should explain the complicated sentences and language points in o rder to avoid students’swallowing dates whole. When the teacher explains, the following strategies should be paid attention to.Firstly, an awareness and understanding of his audience are obviously essential if he is to communicate successfully. When he is explaining something to a class, he should never lose sight of the perspective of the pupils themselves. The teacher’s ability to inferwhat they already know and still need to know is an important quality that he needs to acquire or develop.Secondly, repetition is an important classroom strategy to reinforce and extend meaning. However, this is not to encourage the simple repetition of important sentences or phrases, monotonously word-for-word, which may divert pupils’ attention.Redundancy is more important than repetition. In other words, the teacher repeats thesubstance of his message, but in doing so he uses different items of vocabulary anddifferent language forms; he tries to approach the issue or problem from a variety ofdirections or perspectives. In this way, the teacher gives your pupils time to grasp theinformation he is trying to communicate and he provides them with differentopportunities to connect it with their existing experience and understanding.Thirdly, using examples and figurative language can also be helpful. When an abstraction like “courage” or “contempt” is being discussed, an example offers learners something concrete to grasp. It helps him to see how an idea works out in practice.Figurative language can also help him to represent difficult abstract ideas in a moretangible, comprehensible form.What’s more, when the teacher explains something, it can also be helpful if he makes different kind of connecting links to assist pupils’ comprehension. He should try toconnect a point to he is making to something else that has been said in a former lesson or to texts the class have already read. He should attempt to create links between the work of the classroom and pupils’ own immediate lives in the world beyond school. Any explici t connecting links the teacher offers will help pupils to relate what they already know and understand to the new information he is now offering them. For this same reason, pupils should be given the time and the opportunity to reflect on any new information t heteacher offers, to talk about it in pairs or groups, to evaluate it and to apply it to their own lives.Finally, in any explanation the teacher gives, he should be sensitive to the intellectual demands he places on his classes. Do not expect too much of them or burden them with too much information. Conversely, pupils’ abilities should not be underestimated norshould children be patronized. If mismatch between what pupils already know and can do, on the other hand, and what he is attempting to explain to them, on the other, is too great, or the amount of information the teacher is providing excessive, they will understandably lose heart and interest. On the other hand, if what he is saying will appear obvious and they will become restless and bored. A successful balance between these two extremes of cognitive discord and harmony is not easily achieved and a measure of dissonance can be both productive and motivating, provided that it is not too great.6. As an assessorAssessor conditions st udents’ emotion and students need teachers’ assessment because the younger a person is, the stronger their wants of contact and attention are.Appropriate praise and encouragement can help students to set up their confidence and keep good mental condition. So, teachers should pay attention to assessment whichshould be suitable and right, especially not overcritical with their “output”.(WuDing’e,2000)Generally speaking, after they answer questions, the teacher should use encouraginglanguage. For i nstance, if the answer is right, “Good/Very good/Excellent/Thank you” isused. If the answer is not right, the teacher should also encourage “ That is almostcorrect,” Better than last time”, “ The first part of your answer is wrong, but …”. If the answer is wrong, the teacher must not blame or satirize them but point out their merits.”“ Your answer is not right, but your pronunciation is very good.” “No, it is not the right answer but it’s also very important. Thank you.” The teacher should pay attention todefend students’ self-confidence in order to cultivate their interest.However, this is not equal to say that the teacher acquiesce mistakes. When a mistake appears, the teacher should determine whether or not, when and how to correct it, which presuppo ses different teaching aims. If the aim is to improve students’ fluency of using language, interruptions had better be avoided. If the aim of the activity is to cultivatelanguage accuracy, mistakes should be corrected as soon as possible. Sometimes, in an oral class, some teacher cannot bear any minor mistake so interruptions often take place and the oral class changes into a mistakes-correcting class. This way completely ignores students’ dynamic role, restrains their sense of self-fulfillment. As a result, the students always worry about making mistakes and would not open their mouths and thereby their potentials are restrained. Of course, in this condition, teaching aims cannot be achieved.7. As a participan tThere is no reason why the teacher should not participate as an equal in an activity especially where activities like simulation are taking place. Clearly on a lot of occasions it will be different for him to do so as an equal since he often knows all the material and all the details. Another difficulty is that the teacher will tend to dominate, and thestudents will both allow and expect this to happen. It will be up to the teacher to make sure it does not.Teachers should not be afraid to participate since not only will it probably liven theatmosphere in class, but it will also give students a chance to practice English withsomeone who speaks it better than they do.III. ConclusionIn the “leaner-centered” classroom-teaching pattern, students become “center” but the teacher’s role doesn’t lighten at all. On the contrary, it puts forward higher requirement of the teacher. Firstly, it is not easy for teacher to design a class, which can attract and keep student’s interest. Secondly, the teacher should not only give stu dents the right to take initiative and cultivate their learning competence but also explains some language points.At last, the teacher, as an organizer, on one hand, should be capable of controlling a class and guide students to express themselves freely and participate in communicativeactivities. On the other hand, disordered condition should be avoided.So, to apply to the requirement, the teacher should not only have extensive knowledge and high linguistic quality, but also acute observational ability and skilled organizing skills.
