6、 focus on the issue that how to improve the teaching art of English teachers.As English is being used wisely around the world,the teaching art of English teachers will become more and more important.All the English teachers are trying their best to find a comfortable way to teach English.However,how
7、 to improve their teaching art?Some advice will be given here.2.Categories:2.1 The Art of Speaking Speaking art in class is the art of teaching practice by the creative use of sound language forms.The excellent speaking art of a teacher is an important guarantee to improve the teaching effectiveness
8、 and quality in class.Czech educator Comenius paid more attention to speaking art of teachers in class.In his“Great Teaching Theory”,he pointed out vividly,“one teacher who can teach fair-sounding and clearly should make his voice immerse into his students hearts like the oil,and turn it into knowle
9、dge at last”.Jean Hersholt,one of the exponents of modern teaching theory,thought that language has the character of artistic if one is articulate.Even though he is only a second-rate scholar,he can also be an excellent teacher.The former Soviet Union educator Suhomlinskis view on speaking art in cl
10、ass is even more profound and incisive.In his Art of Education,he stressed that“the language of teachers is one kind of tool that affects students in their mind,and nothing can replace it.”And he thought the speaking art of teachers is one of the basic qualities that one teacher should possess and i
11、t is the guarantee of teaching success.From this,we can see speaking art in class plays an important position in the whole class teaching and it plays an irreplaceable role.So,as English teachers,how to improve their language art?2.1.1 Firmer foundation As an English teacher,English is the foundatio
12、n.Whether your English is standard or not,fluent or not,have a firmer foundation or not,is directly related to your entire English language teaching.During my internship,I suffered the loss.My pronunciation of some English words is non-standard,such as:river I will read as liver,so that my students
13、scratched their heads,Thanks to my instructor,he pointed out my fault promptly so that I promptly rectified.There is a problem about basic skills,such as grammar,new words and so 5 on.If you have not solid basis for grammar and words,you will suffer great hardship.For example,you will find lesson pr
14、eparation is very laborious.When you teach,you should still spend time learning at the same time.While a teacher who has good basic skills dont need to re-learn,they just need to improve their teaching methods continually.So they will teach easier than you.2.1.2 Humorous language In English teaching
15、,a good English teacher not only needs a firmer foundation,we also need sense of humor to motivate the atmosphere of the classroom.I want to ask,which one likes to listen to one boring lesson that an abundant experienced teacher taught?So how can we be humorous and witty then?For example,in order to
16、 let the students often get the feedback of their own progress,on the right time teacher can insert a small story,a little game,a little riddle,a proverb,a message,a song in English,a grammar games,an English tongue twisters,or an English Riddles,.For example,teacher on the blackboard write this sen
17、tence Who is closer to you,your mom or your dad?(Father and mother,who is closer to you?)The answer is:Mom is closer because dad is father.Because father(father)sounds like farther(further),so mother is closer.For another example,question:Why are young men unwilling to date the daughter of the Fortu
18、nes?Answer:Because it is Miss Fortune.Miss Fortune sounds like misfortune(unfortunately),so none of young people would be willing to date misfortune.If this episode is used for the regulation of classroom atmosphere,students will be very interested in this class and this also allows the students not
19、 to study as a burden but as an interest.2.1.3 Abundant knowledge Not only English teachers,but also teachers in various subjects should be noted that,although you teach only one subject,if you have a very wide range of knowledge,and the knowledge is related to many subjects,your teaching process wi
20、ll be subject to unexpected results.For example,during my internship I taught English,but I am a tour guide on the other hand and I am familiar with many attractions.When we learned the unit 3 of Grade 1 in the high school“Travel Joural”,some students talked of Sanqing Mountain.I just visited there
21、6 before,so I told them something about Sanqing Mountain and some tourism-related considerations.Students were immediately enthusiastic,and they look at me with adoring eyes.So enthusiasm for learning was also increased.At the same time,the sense of success for being admired made me teach more activ
22、ely,and the effectiveness of the class was also surprisingly good.2.2 The Art of Body Language Body language is a broad term for forms of communication using body movements or gestures instead of,or in addition to,sounds,verbal language,or other forms of communication.It forms part of the category o
23、f paralanguage,which describes all forms of human communication that are not verbal language.This includes the most subtle of movements that many people are not aware of,including winking and slight movement of the eyebrows.In addition，body language can also incorporate the use of facial expressions
24、.We communicate a lot of information about our feelings through our body language:our facial expression,the way we position ourselves,distance from others,and gestures.We receive this information primarily through our vision.Nowadays more and more people participate in studying the area of body lang
25、uage.Its functions and effects are widely applied in English teaching in recent years.Essential Englishs author-Eckersley once said,One over-rigid teacher is not a good teacher.If one teacher only looks at the blackboard or elsewhere,instead of looking at his or her students,and explains in full fli
26、ght,or he or she you will not pay attention to observe if his or her students understand,or whether they resonate with you,then you are not a good teacher.Teachers should be good at using body language to effectively organize classroom teaching.In the classroom,teacher is often the center of the stu
27、dents attention.Teachers words and actions would have an impact on students.Teachers confident expression,gentle faces and sparkling eyes would bring the students the desire and interest of learning.On the contrary,if a teacher with a tired face,dull eyes,without expression,students interest in lear
28、ning will be greatly reduced,and students will feel dull.At the beginning of a class,students are often in an excited state,so the teacher must begins his or her class after the students emotion turn to be stable.Otherwise it will not focus the attention of the students.Sometimes language cant make
29、them calm down,when the teachers must use calm and sincere eyes quickly to scan the 7 whole class,they will receive unexpected results,and students will quickly quiet down.In addition,teachers should have a potential use of body language to express their affirmation,praise,encouragement and so on.Wh
30、en students answer the questions,teachers should look at the students with the encouraged eyes.When the students answered the questions correctly,you can give a smile to express your praise so that the students can participate in classroom activities in full emotion.In classroom teaching,teachers sh
31、ould pay more attention to the cooperation of oral language,written language,and body language with each other to enhance the teaching effectiveness.2.3 The Art of Dressing A good English teacher not only needs to know much more than the contents of the books,but also pays attention to other aspects
32、 of the arts such as:dignified appearance,graceful demeanor and so on.When you took on the stage,you should pay attention to the impression that you give your students.First,you should pay attention to your dress code.Whether or not you have chosen the clothes for your age and your occupation;whethe
33、r or not your clothing shows your own temperament and demeanor;whether or not your clothing is dignified,generous,fit and simple.If you wear clothes decorated complex,it will only enable students to pay attention to your clothing and disperse their attention to your teaching.The rigorous style that
34、Japanese businessmen pay attention to the appearance has a great impact in the whole Southeast Asia.For example,you must wear a tie when you are working;you must wear a suit when you see the guests;you must wear a tuxedo kind of dress to meet the request of the master when you attend a banquet.Becau
35、se almost every businessman knows,paying attention to their own clothing can not only show their identity and self-cultivation,more importantly,it also expresses their respect.This will help to improve their corporate image as well as enhance the customers trust.Therefore,the formal suit,fancy tie,b
36、right shoes,fancy hair and clean shirt can be said the cause of half the success.Of course,as a teacher,you have no need to be so strict.But if you walked into the classroom slovenly with untidy and listlessness,your mental outlook can infect your students.So how the teachers should wear in general?
37、In general,the teachers should have to wear clothes with a clear theme,which tells people the character of your career and tell your students your rigorous teaching style,positive and 8 healthy mental outlook,and your characteristics,hobbies and so on.Followed by the dress code for teachers should h
38、ave an emotion.The so-called“emotion”is that the clothes you wear in the eyes of your students not only have the demeanor of the elderly,but also is amiable and approachable.Again is the dress style.The shaping of the style is closely related to the former.The type here both shows the style factors
39、of the clothing,and expresses the inner beauty of temperament of the people who wear them.At the same time,it shows the beauty of clothing colors matching.Young female teachers dress code in the school shouldnt be too fashionable.The career preference of their clothes should be elegant,dignified and
40、 simple,which is both in line with teachers gentle temperament,and in line with teachers aesthetic sensibility.The teachers who wear decent clothes will enable their students to feel amiable and approachable.If the dress colors match well,a good teaching effectiveness will be created.A good grasp of
41、 the environment and scale of the clothing and establishing a good image for your students is what every teacher should have been working for.Teachers should create the elegant clothing that appropriates to your cultural atmosphere.From the visual sense,teachers clothing should be dignified,decent a
42、nd clean.Male teachers are advised to wear formal suits,and never try to wear any collarless or sleeveless clothes in the school.Female teachers should avoid wearing any short,backless or transparent clothes.In a word,the teachers should dress quiet,elegant and give their students good examples in t
43、he classroom rather than scatter the attention of students.2.4 The Art of Teachers Own Behavior Improving the overall quality of teachers and their own self-cultivation is the primary strategy to strengthen the students learning motivation.Because their own quality and self-cultivation not only affe
44、ct the students knowledge learning and intellectual development,but also affect the development of students non-intelligence factors,the formation of moral character and the shaping of personalities.English language is a perverted thing,so you are not able to teach to the old with an old knowledge.S
45、o English teachers should keep learning new knowledge,and apply the knowledge that you have learned to the teaching,which not only improve the interest of the class,but also enhance the contents of the knowledge and the amount of information in the classroom.Moreover,only when your overall quality i
46、s 9 improved,your will not go to teach badly.Furthermore,in order to understand their learning progress,an important task of teachers is to assess students learning.This work is indispensable because it is able to help teachers understand their own teaching effectiveness,sum up experience in teachin
47、g,improve teaching and know a clear direction for the future of teaching.Only when the teachers try to improve continuously their own overall quality,then they can have the correct assessment of the students and a very good communication with students.Education is teaching and educating people.Altho
48、ugh neither can be neglected,educating people is more important in view of people-centered concept of modern education.Thus,the teacher is the bearer of the dual task of teaching and educating people.Then in addition to his or her professional knowledge,the more important point is the requirements a
49、s a people.Because human beings are a unity of ideology and behavior,and consciousness dominates behavior,the behavior is the performance of consciousness,so improving the moral conduct of a teacher is the foothold and starting point of the ideological and political work in the school.In the practic
50、e,we should let the teachers strive to educate,probate and affect their students with their own behavior.On the other hand,in this process our teacher will reach to the perfection with the truth,beauty and realm.Thus the students bringing up,teachers reaching to the success and self-perfection proce
