Grade English Subject In Small Classes, Layered Teaching

After years of learning English, there is a big difference among thelevels of personal and cultural knowledge, and psychological qualitiesof Junior High School students, especially in Grade Nine, the graduatingclass. Besides the heavy academic burden, the students will face theHigh School Entrance Examination, therefore, it’s necessary to carry outteaching reform based on students actual. The essence of the gradedteaching that "individualized" to break the unified approach of thetraditional teaching methods, a more flexible way to solve the problemsthey have， to meet their different needs, and adapt to thedevelopment of each student.On the other hand, in recent years due to reduced enrollment, aswell as policies and regulations, students of Grade Nine withoutShanghai household registration can not participate in the examinationin Shanghai, so the number of class size reduced to two-thirds of theoriginal class in Junior Three, naturally formed a small class. Small class ismore conductive to the graded teaching, and make level teachingfiner and better.According to the grades of the final exam of the second semesterof Grade Eight, I’ve selected two average scores are similar, with thesame number and class sizes, male to female ratio of parallel classes inthe experimental study of the level teaching. Compare the teaching inthe control classes (with traditional teaching) and the experimentalclass (with graded teaching, divided into three levels. Level A:morethan90points according to academic performance, Level B more than72points, Level C below72points) throughout the whole grade nineschool year, especially the basic test, mock exams, high schoolentrance exam, found:On academic performance in terms of level teaching is superior to traditional teaching, in particular the significant effect of C layer (thebasis of weak students).Second, after the implementation of graded teaching, theperformance of students in the classroom are more active than those intraditional teaching. Students took an active part in the activities inclass. Graded teaching benefits the students in learning, the creation ofeveryone involved in the learning environment, enhance the feelingsbetween teachers and students.Graded teaching is beneficial to the teachers own development,so that teachers implement the curriculum of two real oriented"concept.After the implementation of level teaching, the confidence ofteachers and students are enhanced.Stratified requires cooperation among teachers.
