1、Before I studied this course and stepped into the platform to experience what is a real teacher, I always think teaching is an easy thing. The teacher just needs to copy the teaching content from the teaching reference books and show them to the students. However, through this course I feel all the
2、things changed completely. No matter from the preparation to the practice, from teaching plan to my PPT, or from my rehearsal to my real show; they all let me have an entirely different attitude towards English teaching.Through a semesters leaning, teaching and thinking, I have some opinions or also
3、 called teaching reflection towards English teaching, which includes the aspects of the teacher, the students, the teaching methods, the class activities, the textbook and also about the teaching reflection itself. All of these thinking, I consider, will do a great favor to my teaching career. 2. De
4、scription of my teachers English teaching For I have no teaching experience, so I would like to recall my teachers teaching methods from below several aspects firstly.2.1 Preparation and teaching processFor each class, my teacher prepared a lot of pictures to realize the revision and teaching of the
5、 new words. I found that they were quite attractive when we saw them during the teaching. To some extent, the use of the pictures of some famous stars could cultivate our interest to use the adjectives to describe their appearance, personality and etc. When my teacher teaches the related words about
6、 the face, for example, round and square, she presented some cartoons for comparison. As far as the adjectives of eyes and nose were concerned, she also used some flashcards for presentation and comparison. We inclined to look and say something about the pictures, using the related adjectives. When
7、she taught the words of ones figure and personality, she first called some students to tell her what kind of friends they would like to choose as their best friends. She gave us some hints when we met some difficulties. Then, she presented some pictures for a small talk, asking us to talk about the
8、personalities of different people and what kind of person we would like to be. After this, she gave us some time to describe the famous stars, for instance, Yao Ming, Harry Porter, S.H.E and etc., which could help us to understand the meanings of the adjectives. During the reading part, she presente
9、d some questions and tasks for us to answer and fulfill. Owing to the use of multimedia, we could answer the questions quickly and effectively. In order to avoid the one-sidedness of comprehension, she gave us more time to read and practice. The total goal was to develop our ability to write an arti
10、cle about your best friend. To serve this goal, she designed some questions for us to answer in advance and to talk and make a conclusion. In this part, she used a game to help, say, a guessing game, asking us to write down something about your friend and read it aloud for others to guess who he/she
11、 was. This method conquered the monotony of writing. She outlined the importance of being an honest, kind-hearted and helpful person. At last, she played a poem for us to enjoy and imitate, which, as I saw it, would possibly raise the theme to a higher level.2.2 Students learning process Before clas
12、s, our teacher tried to relax us by singing a song and asking us to wave our hands. Also we were very cooperative. During the class, once my teacher raised a question, most of us could undertake brainstorm and gave her the correct answers. When the discussion time came, she divided us into groups of
13、 four, asking us to do related tasks. We were very hard-working. 2.3 The organization of the class In terms of the organization of the class, there were seven steps in detail. They were warm-up, revision, presentation, practice, conclusion, discussion and writing. From the angle of the time control,
14、 all of the steps were carried out successfully during the class. Warm-up and revision occupied about 8 minutes; presentation occupied 5 minutes; practice accounted for half of the class; writing lasted about 7 minutes. Teacher was quite satisfied with the part of oral practice, because every studen
15、t participated in listening and talking. We could give correct answers when we stood up. The feedback information was ideal at this point. Meanwhile, our teacher was not satisfied with the writing part, as I mentioned in part 2.2. Although we had time to write compositions, we didnt have the opportu
16、nities to know how well we had written. We should get some comments on our composition, for instance, grammar, sentence structure, hand-writing and so on. If we had five more minutes, maybe our teacher would present our papers to the whole class and gave some corrections if necessary. The last part
17、was enjoying a poem, which was related to the theme of the class. Because of the limited time, the teacher didnt realize the teaching aim of this part. She just called us to read it. If she removed this part, I thought it would be better for the writing exercise. Appendix: lesson design1. Teaching a

27、r friend.3. Advantages & Disadvantages During the process of students learning, it seemed that students had grasped all the knowledge effectively in this period. However, I found some problems when students stood up to give her answers. At that time, I worried about the teaching effect. “Was the tea
28、ching method unsuitable for them?”, I said to myself, but I had no time to think. Then the teacher speaks more slowly and clearly, giving them more time to think and speak. It really worked. The students and the teacher cooperated well during the following steps. In the teaching process, I felt it i
29、s a pity that the teacher didnt give the students time to present their papers and correct their mistakes, which I thought I should keep in mind for future teaching. For the organization of class, on one hand, this was a comparatively successful class. On the other hand, I found some unsatisfactory elements in this teaching. I think it would be better for me to improve the teaching procedure for future use. In addition, the classed should be practical and adhere to the
