Abstract: Sometimes I always think how to make the lesson better and how to make my students more successful. Without losing much students’free time, we should hold 40 minutes in each class. So it is important for an English teacher to give a quality lesson every day. I really think that we must pay much attention to six things while we are teaching. They are clear aims, teacher language, variety, Ss center, monitoring and time management.
Key Words : English teacher, explore, teaching methods,As an English teacher, it is important for us to give a quality lesson every day. However, how do teachers give a good lesson? I did realize some important factors which affect the lessons we have. To have a good lesson, we must pay attention to at least six things: clear aims, teacher language, variety, Ss-centred, monitoring and time management. I’d like to briefly tell a little bit of my thoughts of teaching in six aspects.
I. Clear aims
I.1. When we prepare a lesson, the first thing, which is also the most important thing is that we must set a clear aim and make a good plan. As before, I did always set aims before the lessons, but I didn’t consider and care what Ss would learn in this lesson, I just set aims according to the course book and tell Ss what they should do and remember. Actually, aims are what we want Ss to be able to do at the end of a lesson; they may focus on a language system (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) or developing a language skill (listening, reading, speaking and writing). A clear aim should contain main aim, subsidiary aim and personal aim. Main aim should differ from the subsidiary aim, that is to say, if main aim focus on language skill, the subsidiary aim should focus on language system. Moreover, there must be a context in an aim, and most of us forget to set a context. e.g. By the end of the lesson, Ss will be better able to use the relative pronouns more accurately. It is too general, we should write it more specific: set a context and add “in spoken or written form”.
I.2. As for the teaching plan, we should ask ourselves two questions: What do Ss already know and what problems will Ss meet when we teach the target language (TL) and give them tasks? We should try to anticipate any language problems that Ss may have and think carefully to come up with good solutions to solve the problems in the class. e.g. There was a lesson of mine, I just thought of two anticipated problems with TL (Pronunciation problems with [θ]and number writing problem, e.g. first
