Similarly, teachers in high school are facing the wide capacity of the course material, wide knowledge, wide grammar, a large quantities of words and expressions, sophisticated sentences and so on. In addition, the teachers’ quality in high school are irregular, most of the teaching ways are single. As a result, students can’t catch up with it. So can their low interest. They have to give it up. Such situation has caused some educators worry.
In these years, teachers in the primary school, the junior school and the high school lose themselves in their own textbook.. The research activity is divided. In fact, teachers in different grades have few knowledge of other grades material, the common usage of teaching ways. What’s more, they couldn’t estimate the future students’ level. All of the above shows teachers have blindness in their teaching and make the running-in period longer. So the purpose for me to choose this topic is aim to solve the following four questions:
Q1: What kind of psychology features does students in the elementary school, the junior school and the high school have?
Q2: According to these features, how do teachers choose the appropriate and effective classroom teaching methods?
Q3: What’s the difference in the elementary school, the junior school and the high school?
Q4: How to solve the textbook material problems so as to improve the efficiency?
