教师的英语演讲(8篇)
1.教师的英语演讲 篇一
Good afternoon, everyone.I am very honored to make a speech.I am Christy from Meishan Middle School.First I ‘d like you to think about the question: Do you become a teacher by chance? That’s what happened to me!English was my favorite subject when I was a middle school student.I felt so cool when I won the first prize of NEpCS in 1997.After that everyone said to me:“Hey,Why not become an English teacher?” So I did!Actually, I liked teaching very soon.I like teaching and learning with the children.Sometimes they are my students;sometimes they are my younger brothers or sisters.Sometimes they are even my fans because I can sing many pop songs in the class!But I have to say: to be an English teacher is not easy.Why? Teacher-centered controls, threats make no sense to students now!No one can be forced to learn without a desire to learn!I am so eager to find out a good way.But what are they? Nowadays, the use of tasks is commonplace.But I as well as other teachers is wondering: my syllabus is based on an old-fashioned textbook and is also exam-driven.How do I structure lessons by using tasks? Should I tell my students: “Today your task is to listen to me“ or “Yourtask is to finish part a on page 5”.Everything is unchanged, isn’t it? What makes Task? A unit of grammar? No!A collection of lexical items? No!After a long time study, I begin to know that task is a means of learning the language by its real use!Now, I’d like to give an actual example for you.That is Unit 5 a letter in a bottle from New Way Book 3I had this lesson in the internet-equipped classroom.Each student has a computer.The target language includes shall, let’s do, writing letters.Word competition and on-_line exercise are the pre-tasks.Next, three during-tasks.Task 1:group-work.Discuss a plan about where to go during the national day, practise the target language: shall.Task 2.Go to a teenager website to make foreign pen friends by the e-mail.Task 3: write a letter to the students of our school to call on them to donate to project of Hope the post task comes last, Ss read English news about Wangpeng who lost his life in a hostage crisis in pakistan, and write to Annan the U.N head to call for peaceAs you see, in this class, task-based method creates a student-centered learning environment and information technology plays an important part. We should try to be as flexible as possible in choosing the teaching techniques.Now, Dear friends, I would like you to think about our own task.What makes a good English teacher? Just years of little sleep, over-work? Just like the candle that burns out to help others? No!We should develop ourselves, both professionally and personally.Most importantly, we should love our students.In my heart, my students are the most powerful striving for me to work harder.I love my students!I love teaching!Before finishing my speech, I would like to say: to be an English teacher is the best choice in my life.I shall do all I can to be a good English teacher!That’s all.Thanks for your attention!
2.教师的英语演讲 篇二
英语演讲是一种极富特色的语言形式,在西方有着悠久的历史。早在公元前5世纪左右的古希腊和罗马时期,由于这些国家的规模小而且尚以口头语言为主,人们常常以演讲和辩论的方式决定公众事务。演讲从形式上分,可谓多种多样。从政治演讲到学校里的讲座,从教堂里的传经布道到公司各部门的工作汇报,都是在运用演讲这种形式,达到交流思想的目的。随着社会的不断发展,演讲变得越来越重要。因为演讲归根结底是一个交流的过程,所以演讲者的目的不外乎是要吸引听众,让听众明白自己的意思,并使其接受自己的观点。所以现在的演讲,特别是国外的竞选演讲越来越趋于口语化,因此,演讲成了身处非英语环境的人们学习英语的极佳素材。
1 从语法上
我们对英语中的人称代词的认知是通过语法书得知:we是“我们”的意思,you—你们,they—他们。但在现实生活中这些表示群体的词到底包括哪些人呢?仅仅依靠语法书上给出的条款很难把如此琐碎的细节涵盖完整,而且即便书上罗列的很详细,在头脑中也很难有深刻的印象。但从演讲中学习就不一样了。
1.1 人称代词we的使用
(1)we用来指代一个广泛的群体,即演讲者用其指代他/她认为所有与他/她同属一类的人。这里we的用法是从语法意义上的指示功能来说的。例如:
a.America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.(George W.Bush“Statement by the President to the Nation”)
b.Five score years ago,a great American,in whose symbolic shadow we stand today,signed the Emancipation Proclamation.(Martin Luther King“I have a dream”)
(2)we用来仅仅指代说话者和听话人在内的群体。例如:
a.Now we have the finest food and equipment,the best spirit,and the best men in the world.You know…My god,I actually pity those poor bastards we’re going up against.(George S Patton“General George S Patton’s Address to His Troops”)
b.We may have started on separate journeys but today,our paths have merged.And we are all heading toward the same destination,united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around because so much is at stake.(Hillary Clinton“Hillary Clinton’s Farewell Speech”)
(3)we用来指代不包括听话人在内的群体。
a.And I thought that was really cool,and we had a team and we put a team together and they won and they got to fly.(Randy Paush“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”)
b.The key partnerships we build with software developers around the world are central not only to the success of Windows but also to realizing the great possibilities that PC technology provides.(Bill Gate“Bill Gates’Keynote Speech”)
在实际应用中,人称代词we还可以用来指代不包括听众在内的群体。这时说话人往往是为了强调自己一方的立场与观点而仅仅用其指代演讲者自己以及他/她认为他/她所能代表的其他人。例如
1.2 人称代词you的使用
(1)you用来指代听话者,且仅仅是听话者。例如:
a.I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign…(Hillary Clinton“Hillary Clinton’s Farewell Speech”)
b.What Indira didn’t tell you is that this lecture series used to be called the Last Lecture.(Randy Paush“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”)
(2)you用来指代包括听话人在内的更广泛的群体。例如:
a.You’re young,you’re educated,and you are the very best China has to offer.My young Chinese friends,I believe in your dreams.I believe that you can achieve them,and I believe you can make a difference,a big difference.All you have to do is just make the commitment.All you have to do is create the action and commit…(Arnold Schwarzenegger“Keep Your Dreams A Speech Given BYGovernor Schwarzenegger at Tsinghua University”)
(3)you用来指代特定场合的群体。例如:
a.And this thing does parabolic arcs,and at the top of each arc you get about 25 seconds where you’re ballistic and you get about,a rough equivalent of weightlessness for about 25 seconds.(Randy Paush“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”)
(4)you表示一种泛指。例如:
a.If you had one last lecture to give before you died,what would it be?I thought,damn,I finally nailed the venue and they renamed it.(Randy Paush“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”)

【关键词】梁启超演讲 ;优秀教师;素养
【中图分类号】G625 【文献标识码】A
普通高中课程标准实验教科书中收录了一篇梁实秋先生记梁启超演讲的文章——《记梁任公先生的一次演讲》,文章虽然不长,却深深地表达了梁实秋对梁启超先生的敬佩之情。有人佩服梁实秋先生写人的本领,赞美文章幽默风趣,详略得当,文简意丰;有人乐见梁启超这位戊戌变法风云人物政治之外的另一面。而我读这篇文章,我从教师的角度感受到做一位优秀教师,尤其是优秀语文教师所必须具有的素养。
用梁实秋的话说,“过去也有不少的显宦,以及叱咤风云的人物,莅校讲话。但是他们没有能留下深刻的印象”,而在听梁启超这篇讲演后二十余年的茅津渡,竟然还能触景生情,“不禁哀从中来,顿时忆起先生讲的古诗”,这种对比说明作者对梁启超先生的演讲是何等高的评价。还有一句“听过这演讲的人,除了当时所受的感动之外,不少人从此对于中国文学发生了强烈的爱好”,这对我们语文教师来说,是多么令人羡慕的结果。
一次演讲竟能如此的成功而产生如此大的威力,细究其中的原因,确实如梁实秋所言,“倒不是因为他是戊戌政变的主角,也不是因为他是云南起义的策划者”,实在是从教师专业的角度看,梁启超有自己的一套,完全符合教育理论的有效手段,值得我们做老师的来借鉴。下面就是本人从读文的过程中,总结出一位优秀的语文教师必须具备的专业素养,以飨读者,以便共同我们语文教学水平的提高。
首先要有严谨的治学风格。虽然梁启超是大人物,虽然是大人物给学生讲演,本来高下尊卑判若云霓,可梁实秋在文中说这个大人物“他的讲演是预先写好的,整整齐齐地写在宽大的宣纸上,十分美观”,可见,梁启超事先已做好充分的准备,或查资料,或打草稿,或多次修改誊正,有着我们现代教师经常缺失的严谨治学之风。现在的时代,互联网发达了,我们许多教师,不备课或者备课不充分,照搬网上他人的教案或习题,不去弄懂他人设计此程序的原因,不懂得学生变了,可能教案也要变。
上海著名教育家、特级教师于漪老师曾提倡教案“三备法”:第一次备课,自己独立深入钻研;第二次备课,参照别人的备课,吸纳别人的智慧弥补自己设计的不足;第三次备课在课后,根据课堂的实际情况写出课后反思,调整自己的教学策略,为以后上课最好准备。无论是梁启超先生的演讲,还是教育家成功的例子,都充分说明,要做一位好老师,必须拥有严谨的治学作风。
其次要有美好的道德情操。一位好教师就是学生的一位道德引领者,他要不断地给世界观尚未形成的青少年以正能量,培养他们爱社会、爱祖国、爱科学,爱生命的精神。梁启超的这次演讲恰恰符合了这一标准。且看他讲到《桃花扇》的“高皇帝,在九天”时,“悲从中来,竟痛哭流涕而不能自已”,这是他从明朝皇帝想到自己辅佐的君王、已经灭亡了的清王朝时感情的真情流露。忠君虽然落伍,但从一个臣子的角度,这份情感是多么的真实而宝贵。而当他讲到杜甫的《闻官兵收河南河北》时,“又真是于涕泗交流之中张口大笑了”,这又充分体现了一位政治伟人对革命后新时局的热烈拥护了。对自己的国家有忠心,对安定的时政以拥护,这是多么宝贵的品质。
再次要有丰富的学问知识。习近平总书记在北师大与师生座谈时说:“过去讲,要给学生一碗水,教师要有一桶水,现在看,这个要求已经不够了,应该是要有一潭水。”是的,信息时代让知识的获得变得更容易,人们接触的知识会更多,作为传授知识的教师,如果没有更多的知识,“为人师”恐怕就会沦为一句空话。
而这一点在梁启超演讲中就能充分地体现出来,梁实秋说“先生博闻强记,许多作品大部分都能背得出”。语文是一门知识性的学科,记忆是学语文的根本,一位好的语文教师不仅要记经典的著作,还要记时事的变化,与时俱进才能成为一位好老师。如果谁希望凭一支粉笔、一本教材、一本教参来当一位好老师,那简直是天方夜谭。
最后要充分地为学生考虑。“事不关己,高高挂起”,一位教师如果不考虑学生,上课只照本宣科,照抄他人的教案,学生一定会听之无味。优秀的教师总是备教材之外还要备学生,找出符合学生特点的东西来吸引学生。习总书记提出做“四有”好老师中的要有仁爱之心,或许从梁启超的演讲中也能看出来。且看梁启超的演讲,梁实秋在文中说“每次讲过,先生大汗淋漓,状极愉快”,“到紧张处,便成为表演,他真是手之舞之足之蹈之,有时掩面,有时顿足,有时狂笑,有时太息”,这是为学生服务的充分体现,既为他们讲课,就要充分尊重他们,为他们真情付出,虽然学生年幼,但老师为他们真情付出,他们还是能感受得到的。
现在我们有的老师教学的积极性不高,不能尊重学生,更谈不上尊重学生的个性,上课语言枯燥乏味,甚至喜欢把个人情绪带到教室,把自己的不满发泄给学生,这样的教师如何让学生接受,如何向学生传授知识?古语云:“亲其师,信其道”,学生只有在亲近、尊敬自己的师长时,才会相信、学习师长所传授的知识和道理。
为师不易,做一位好老师更是不容易,尤其在当下的语文,日益被数理化边缘化的状态下,细心探究语文吸引学生的地方,学习名人卓有成效的方法,对于化解我们语文教学的困局,是一定有帮助的。

4.英语教师演讲稿 篇四
有一件事深深地触动了我。有一天我很冷,很严重。我把我的声音咆哮给学生,那天我偶尔穿新衣服。刚刚进入教室,幼儿园周围的孩子们大喊说:我只是张开嘴,让他们安静下来,突然有一个声音大声说:不要老师的声音是哑的!老师的声音是愚蠢的!突然,整个教室都很安静,孩子们坐在他们的座位上,静静地看着我。当我打开我的嘴,让他们跟着我,当我看到这个词,然后学生举手示意:老师,我们今天学会唱英语歌曲!我们可以跟随自己的磁带,所以你的声音会更快,我妈妈说声音哑哑少说!更聪明的孩子,只知道他们通常爱唤起我愤怒,我不知道他们实际上知道关心我!班,孩子们坚持把去皮的橘子放进我的嘴里,说:老师吃了!吃你的声音会很好!在那一刻,我感觉超过三十个年轻人我的安慰的精神,感觉他们的理解和支持我,作为一个幼儿园老师我愿意 的
去年12月,我想教四种英语,忙于期末考试,为教师艺术节排练,准备圣诞英语晚会幼儿园和一年级英语课程。孩子还是小,他们明白英语太少太少,我不能写下来的线让他们回去,只有嘴的嘴的话教。紧张的排练和偶尔加班几乎淹没了我,我真的想走开。一天几次后排练孩子们一直在练气喘吁吁,我说:你累了,只是休息吧!但没有一个孩子离开了我,他们用一个小脸包围我认真地说:老师,让我们练习一会儿吧!我们不累!真的,我们不累!看看孩子汗金金的小脸,我突然觉得虚弱。我说,你不怕,老师不怕,让我们一起练。排练后,我和孩子们带着微笑和喧哗,我的心感到从来没有容易,我知道孩子们帮助了我,激励了我。
5.教师英语演讲稿 篇五
Hi!Judges and friends, I’m very glad and excited that I have a chance like this to share my own experience of teaching with you.The topic of my today’s lecture is Better to Teach a Man Fishing Than to Give Him a Fish----Cultivating Good Studying Habits of Students In English Teaching.School education is very important and useful.The students not only learn knowledge but also get an education.Yet, no one can learn everything at school.The scientists, such as Edison, Newton, Galileo and Einstein, did not learn everything at school.They learned a lot of knowledge outside school or practice by themselves.A teacher, even he knows a lot, can’t teach his students everything.Our job is to show our students how to learn, how to read and how to think.A good teacher with rich experience in teaching can teach his students the methods(ways)of study.Through these methods the students are able to learn and get a lot of things by themselves.Since I became an English teacher over ten years ago, I have had a definite teaching thought: I teach my students not only English words and grammar but also methods of studying English by making full use of teaching materials so as to enable them to develop good studying habits bit by bit.Then, what are good studying habits of students? In my opinion, they should include the following at least: the habit of previewing actively before class;the habit of listening intensively in class;the habit of reviewing carefully after class;the habit of completing homework independently;the habit of thinking deeply and actively;the habit of making notes during reading out of class;and good habits of reading aloud, memorizing, reciting, etc.Those habits should contribute to assimilating English knowledge they have learned into their own ones, and promoting their abilities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing all round.So, as English teachers, we must be good at cultivating good studying interest of students, enable them to develop good studying habits and make English studying continue for their life.The first is how to preview before class.I call for my students to preview well before class which will be learned next class.For new words and phrases in text, students should not only practice spelling but also understand their meanings according to sentences and context.For texts and dialogues, students may understand them through the use of notes, reference books or dictionaries at hand, searching topic paragraph or sentence, then try doing exercises after class.Of all these can help them to find problems or questions as well as master the points that are important and difficult in text, which might lighten the pressure of students in new classes.This is a kind of good studying habit and of method available of training the ability to teach themselves.We should call for our students to last for practicing in a consistent way.In doing so, good studying habits can be developed ultimately.The second is how to listen to class.Teachers should make students develop good habits of concentrating on listening to class and questioning actively in class.Only if listening to class in earnest, can students settle questions found when they previewed before class;only if raising doubts actively, can they develop abilities of thinking independently and innovating boldly.Mr.Ye Shengtao once said, “A man should raise doubts when reading books, and settle doubts when running into them.” Aristotle also said, “ Doubts and curiosity precede thoughts.” And Li Zhengdao holds the similar idea, “To quest knowledge edge demands learning and questioning;to learn the answer is not the substance of knowledge.” So we can see, it is important to question actively and raise doubts boldly for studying.This is like sunshine and rain to the trees, little trees cannot grow into big ones without them.Therefore, whether in class or after class, we should actively encourage students to question, to raise doubts, to have discussion, stimulate them to analyze questions and to seek approaches to settle them, and cultivate their spirits of thinking independently and innovating boldly.The third is how to review and summarize.I always call for my students to go over what they have learned that day so as to have deeper impressions of the key contents, just like to see the film in their brains.It is very useful to strengthen the memory and the knowledge they have learned.Besides, after a week or a month, students should summarize the related knowledge, homework and analyze papers.This is also good habit of studying.Only in this way, can the learned knowledge be completed.It is of great help to get different thinking abilities for students.The fourth is attitudes towards homework of students.Good attitudes towards homework should involve writing it earnestly and normally, and completing it independently during a definite period.We should consider the homework after reading and amending, not only find the mistakes, including the spelling mistakes, but also analyze the reasons.I also together my students set up archives for mistakes and sum up all different types in order not to make the same mistakes during studying.Keeping on doing as that until they form a habit.It can not only improve the students’ practical English level, but also help them to analyze and solve the problems.Besides that, reading and reciting is one of the effective methods to English studying.As we all know, reading is a way to input the information.During the reading, the movements of mouth and tongue can be reflected in brain and become mechanical memory, which is very useful to memorize the words and expressions.In this way, we can not only train the instinctive feel for the language of the students, but also increase the process of turning the language accumulation into the language application.This is just the goal for input.So in my English teaching, I often guide the reading and reciting to make the students have good memorial habit and develop their abilities to read and write.Finally, I’d like to talk about how to form the habit of writing reading notes after class.We all know that writing is also one of the most important and basic abilities during studying English.So, Every week I choose five to ten English passages for the students to read and write down some notes by themselves.I check their notes at any time.The passages can be different kinds from the newspaper , Internet and other ways.Sometimes, the students also share some excellent articles they think with each other.Doing like that is helpful to enlarge the words and phrases, enrich the knowledge and develop the ability of using English.The old proletarian educator, Mr.Xu Teli said, “The good memory is not useful as the nib, you don’t know how to read if you never write.” He pointed out the method of reading and emphasizes the importance of writing notes.So besides having the habit to write down the notes in classes, the students should form the habit to write notes when they are reading.I tell the students to write down the particular usage of some words, quote some instructive sayings, well-known sayings and the opinions of themselves during reading.It can widen their outlook, practice the ability to make sentences and improve the whole level of using English.So we can see that it is far away that the students only have the interest to learn English, the important point is the students have reading method and good habit to use their brains and hands.In a word, good habit is the most important factor to get success in English studying, we must pay much attention to training the students to form the good learning habits.The old saying is: “Give a fish to others, that is just for a meal;but if we teach them hoe to fish, that is for their whole lives.” We should the students how to learn English and how to analyze the problems, make them form good learning habits and have the ability to learn new knowledge during teaching.It is useful for the students to become the creative talents, who have creative character and spirit and have firm foundation for entering the colorful society.That’s all for my lecture.Thanks for your listening and guiding.

大家好!今天我们齐聚一堂,我们即将奔赴战场。此时此刻,让我想起了前天看的电视剧康熙王朝,讲到施琅即将出兵攻打台湾,出发前,命所有的士兵大声呐喊,要喊出气势,这还不曾发炮,就要在气势上压倒敌人——台湾的郑经。那么,大家说,施琅要的是什么?
好,精气神。那么,今天,我们要的是什么?对,依然是,精气神。那你能同我一起呐喊吗?好,来来来。我们要喊出我们桥中人的气魄,展现出桥中高三人的精气神:我们,我们是同一战壕的勇士; 我们,我们是桥中的骄傲!
今天,在这个庄严而又难忘的时刻,作为一线教师,面对全体同学,面对学校、年级的领导,我们庄严承诺——我们全体教师仍将会一如既往地踏实工作;我们会刻苦钻研,耐心辅导,通力合作,随时关注高考动态,采集高考最新信息,不漏掉每一个问题,不放弃你们中的任何一个人。请你们记住,在这87天里,我们全体教师将时刻与你们同在,以最优秀的教学质量、最无私的投入、最真挚的情感与你们同舟共济!永远做你们最坚强、最可信赖的后盾! 同学们,你知道吗?我的喜悦来自哪里?对,你们的改变!当你们真正地做到了“静下心,坐得住,潜心学习”的时候,那是我最快乐的时候。20xx年2月27日,正月初九,我们开始上课了,我满怀信心地步入我的课堂,踏上三尺讲台——在我的内心,这就是我的殿堂,我的舞台。可当我讲得兴趣正浓时,有些同学嘻嘻哈哈的表情、左顾右盼的寻找他的目标的时候,我的心很是纠结,Duang的一下:是我讲得不好,亦或是你全然没有大战在即的意识?下课了,我在沉思,自己哪里备课不够充分,我到底该如何改进?我到底该如何真正地吸引你的注意力——哪怕只有20分钟?自习课上,当我一次又一次地把你从睡梦中死死地拽出来的时候,我又一次陷入沉思中,我知道了,原来真的是你,自己把自己丢弃!是你,放弃了自己!曾经的你,踏入桥中时,信誓旦旦,你的豪言壮到底去了哪里?曾经的你,稳坐桌前,潜心读书,我到底还能再次看到这种场景吗?你们说,能不能? ( 能!)是啊,在这短短的87天里,我们仍对你充满期待,期待你的改变!你的改变,我们铭记于心。
那一天,我看到了这样一个场景:高三4班,一个还曾在上学期的课堂上,东张西望,“左右逢源”的大男孩,今天,静静地坐在课桌旁,认认真真地读完型填空,很负责任的写下了一个又一个答案;自习课上,我再也没有见到他“只看不动笔”的情形,相反,他边思索边计算,他就是高三(4)班的吴胜旭;我这还有一个他,他不喜欢英语,更不喜欢我这个英语老师,这是我的感觉,前几天,他居然拿出了英文词典,逐个查阅单词,我笑了,笑得好甜好美,在心底乐开了花!他就是陈兴。同学们!我要告诉你的就是你点点滴滴的改变真的能带给我们无限的快乐!我坚信,在这87天里,我们一定能收获满满的幸福与快乐!
同学们,在你的身边,我的眼前,有许许多多桥中人的骄傲:有锲而不舍,永不放弃的李子闯、卢学文、刘晓彤、赵胤、李帅、陈俊瑶、蔡梦颖、马艺书;还有抓紧一切时间,全心投入到学习中的刘丹阳、夏朝阳、王天赐、周建、杨世光、贾丽娜、付宇成、孙颖、候峥;他们,他们就是我们的榜样!我们的榜样,就在身边,就在眼前!所以,我要说,只要你想,只要你脚踏实地地去做,奇迹就会发生!我相信,你们87天无悔的付出一定能带来奇迹!
20xx年3月9日,也就是前天周一的晚自习值班,离下课还有两分钟,我抬头往下环顾,一秒、两秒、三秒……一个小男孩看了我一眼,又快速地低下了头;一秒、两秒、三秒……又有一个大男孩看了我一眼,也低下了头。除此之外,无一人抬头,大家仍埋头看书写字。同学们,你知道我要说什么吗!我要说,这就是我们想要看到的学习氛围“静下心,坐得住,潜心学习”。
这,就是我们桥中人想要的氛围;这就是我们桥中人想要的改变!一个又一个的改变,一个又一个的高三勇士,你们真真的是我们的亲学生,所以我要问: 亲,你准备好了吗?(准备好了)
你们就是桥中的勇士!

7.教师的英语演讲 篇七
1 强化综合技能
给英语演讲带上“艺术”的桂冠, 是当之无愧的。从说理论证、谋篇布局、开首结尾到声调体态, 演讲又是那么讲究, 涉及那么多的技巧, 需要潜心琢磨、反复体验, 才能达到雄辩的境地。[2]英语专业听、说、读、写等课程侧重的是语言技能的某一层面, 而英语演讲教学则强调对学生综合技能的提升。首先, 英语演讲不是基础性口头表述, 而是深层次思想、文化及情感的传递。其次, 在演讲前的调研阶段, 演讲者必须广泛阅读, 仔细分析, 小心求证, 以期对主旨话题获得全面的掌控。如大卫·休谟所言, 凡雄辩之道, 必以实例入手。一个认真的、富有责任感的演讲者肯定不会局限于个人体验, 而会对话题开展调查研究, 以积累案例、丰富论据, 为撰写讲稿以及演讲的成功, 打下坚实的基础。[2]由此, 演讲者的阅读面变宽了, 思考也会深入。再次, 讲稿写作赋予写作更多的趣味和新意, 让学生在压力与乐趣并存的环境下不断提高其逻辑推理及有效表达的能力。最后, 演讲的过程中, 学生还能学做一个听众和评论者, 学会倾听和批评其他不同视角的意见, 以此来提升与他人沟通、合作等解决问题的能力。[3]
2 增强思辨能力
演讲中最重要的部分是思考, 其中思辨力的养成乃其要义。所谓思辨力, 即批判式思维能力, 指富有质疑性、洞察力、与逻辑性的思维, 是对已有观点与现象进行评价、反思并形成独立观点的思维。[4]思辨关乎逻辑, 不为感性或传闻所左右, 致力于发现别人观点中的强与弱, 并在自己的论述中加以扬弃。在准备阶段, 演讲者需要遴选出新颖的、有意义的话题, 随后, 基于丰富的信息材料, 对其进行综合、分析、甄别, 并由此形成自己的观点。其间, 演讲者的思辨力得到锻炼。在演讲中, 演讲者在揣摩如何有逻辑且连贯地组织思想, 力求用清晰准确的语言表达观点时, 思维能力同样会得到强化。[5]演讲后, 对于演讲经验得失的总结及反省本身也有助增强其思辨力。作为一种综合的、艺术化的交流行为, 英语演讲全方位地在真实生活中使用语言, 这些现实语境都需要多维考量, 也会反过来强化批判性思维能力, 即思辨力。
3 锻塑跨文化交际能力
语言与文化密不可分。有效的英语演讲者, 自然需要具备文化层面上的沟通能力。这就需要演讲者对文化差异保持高度的敏感性, 并努力从不同角度去理解不同的文化内涵与语境。面对来自不同文化背景的听众, 演讲者尤其要注意文化因素对他们可能的反应的影响, 尽量从听众的角度去聆听自己的演讲, 避免使用容易引起歧义、误解甚至是伤害性的语言或例证。演讲者应该明白, 其自身的文化认知与行为不一定得到听众的理解与认同。即便如此, 也应该努力尊重听众的文化价值和期望。但是, 这并不意味着演讲者要贬低自己的文化。恰恰相反, 跨文化沟通能力的培养需要演讲者同时关注自身与听众的语言与文化, 并给予充分的尊重。[5]在跨文化的语境中进行演讲, 以开放的姿态接受对方优秀的文化, 以得体的方式展示中国的传统思想与优秀文化, 有效吸收中外名人思想, 必然会提升演讲者的跨文化交际能力。
4 提高自信度
爱默生曾经说过, 世界上没有比被恐惧击败的人更多的了。公众对于演讲几乎是完全抱消极态度, 这是很普遍的现象, 并无语言、文化或地域上的差别。即便是在公共演讲已经相当普遍的美国, 情况也不例外。著名喜剧演员杰里·塞恩菲尔德曾戏言:“假如有得选择, 多数人在葬礼上宁愿做行将入土的那个, 而不愿当众致悼词。”这丝毫不算夸张。[5]但另一方面, 演讲的经历恰恰是提升演讲者自信的最好路径, 因为自信在本质上是说出来的, 演讲的紧张环境尤其能够锤炼人的毅力, 提升其自信。演讲时的怯场心理是演讲者都要经历的, 如果演讲者能够运用积极思维法去努力控制紧张, 提升其应变能力, 必然有助于提高其自信度。
5 提升公民道德
没有坚实道德根基的演讲不可能真正成功。无论对个人还是国家, 演讲都是一种表达思想和彰显正义道德追求的重要手段。正如世界著名演讲网站TED一样, 通过演讲所传播的观念首先应该是有价值的、积极的、符合伦理的。基于此, 英语演讲获得了一种道德向度。再者, 每当演讲者面对听众时, 有关道德的问题就会出现。在古希腊哲学家柏拉图笔下的理想国中, 所有的演讲者都要坦诚并专心致力于社会的繁荣进步。[5一名合格的演讲者还需确保实事求是, 且演讲的目标合乎伦理, 每一次演讲都是一份郑重的责任, 甚至是对社会发展的一次推动。不论于人于己, 演讲者都有责任为每一次亮相做好充分的准备, 以确保不会传达错误的信息或给出误导听众的建议。于己而言, 这份责任显而易见——准备越充分, 演讲越成功;于听众而言, 这份角色道德责任也同样意义重大。
6 结束语
世界著名华人华侨领袖、社会活动家陈香梅曾说过, 所谓言之有物, 能言人之不能言, 能道人之不能道, 这当然是有口才之人才能做到的。二十一世纪的社会更是一个无时无地不有竞争的社会, 若不能有点说话的才能, 定会吃亏。[5]对大学生而言, 英语演讲是提高英语表达能力及其综合素养的有效方法, 通过前期准备, 演讲者可以在广泛调研的基础上拓宽阅读面和视野;通过讲稿撰写, 演讲者可以练习将思想和材料组织得更有条理、更富逻辑;通过舞台实践, 演讲者可以克服对公众讲话时的恐惧, 变得更加自信;通过在不同语境中进行演讲, 演讲者的跨文化视角得以丰富, 传播力也会增强;通过捏塑自我的道德境界, 参与公共事务, 演讲者的公民素养肯定会日渐提高。总而言之, 英语演讲训练有助于全面提升学生的综合素养, 有助于培养自信、创新、善辩、正义的新型国际化英语人才。

8.教师的英语演讲 篇八
随着中国经济的蓬勃发展,对外交流合作的机会日益增多,具有高素质良好沟通能力的人才已受到社会广泛关注。全球化的时代是一个表达的时代。英语表达能力,尤其是演说与写作能力,更是英语交际能力的核心竞争力。着眼于培养适应全球化的优秀人才,许多高校在英语教学上有针对性地开展了一系列教学改革,加大听说训练在课堂中的比重。我国大学生的整体英语水平有了很大提高,但学生的言语交际能力仍存在一定差距。
这是由于大学英语本身课时较少,教学任务重,教师往往侧重于书本知识的传授。即使在课堂上安排了口语教学内容,也只停留在较浅的语言形式的操练层面上,学生缺乏一定热情。虽然语境教学的导入强化了语言学习和训练的文化环境,但不少学生由于为了语言而练语言,语言缺乏思想性、逻辑性、连贯性和地道性;不知如何有效组织观点、如何增强语言的说服力和运用非语言因素增加感染力;不知道如何与听众沟通,听众关注度不高,使得语言交际能力训练仍流于表面。要真正提高学生的口语能力,就必须革新英语课堂教学活动的模式;文章就英语课堂演讲这一简单的教学活动,论述如何科学有效提高学生跨文化交际能力。
一、理论基础
英语演讲有效进行,必须处理好各个环节之间的关系。美国学者Lucas认为演讲的言语交流过程一般由七种成分组成:1)演讲者2)信息3)媒介;4)听众;5)反馈——听众对演讲者做出的反应;6)干扰——任何妨碍言语交流的事情;7)环境——言语交流的时间和地点。其中演讲者、听众是主体;演讲内容是客体,连接主、客体的纽带是口语和相应的体态语这样的传播媒介。
二、研究的实施
1.时间安排。每次上课前10分钟左右为英语演讲活动时间。先由一位学生上台作主题演讲3—5分钟,接着师生共同参与答辩与评论。
2.实施对象。大学英语二年级(第一学期)学生。为保证学生有足够的语言输入量,在大一两个学期,学生分别进行了简单的口语训练和经典美文背诵准备。
3.演讲形式。学生一般按学号轮流演讲,但也可自行调整顺序进行演讲。
4.演讲题材与题目。演讲题材可出自教科书,也可以源于生活。
5.评价。每次演讲活动完毕,采取老师点评,师生提问,学生打分互评的形式对演讲者的表现评定成绩。课间休息,将该生的演讲成绩反馈给教师。演讲成绩分为优、良、中、及格、不及格5个不同等级。该成绩占平时成绩的50%。另外,教师对提问的学生表现情况给予记录,作为平时成绩的一个参数。
三、研究结果对教学的启示
1.将英语演讲引入英语课堂取得了相对满意的成绩。
(1)英语演讲丰富了课堂气氛,提高了课堂教学效率。学生非常珍惜这种交流机会,别出心裁地展示自己。百态的人生故事,热点的时政关注,贴身的校园生活,各地的风俗趣闻和声情并茂的模仿表演。这些精彩活泼的课前演讲,成为课文学习的热身,提高了学生学习英语的兴趣和英语教学的效率。
(2)英语演讲激发了学生学习英语的自主性。课堂演讲不但为英语爱好者提供了展示和交流的平台,还可以检验学生的英语水平,让学生认识到自己的差距。身边的榜样,能促使学生你追我赶,更努力地学习。
(3)学生的各方面能力得到锻炼。演讲活动的开展,增强了学生的正式讲话的自信心和交流意识,提高了学生的思辨能力和英语的综合运用能力。
2.英语演讲活动中存在的问题及应对措施。
(1)部分学生对演讲重视不够,准备不充分,疲于应付,达不到预期演讲效果。如在演讲内容的选择上,题材陈旧,选材面狭窄。有些学生选择介绍一个大家极为熟悉的西方节日;有些学生读两则英文笑话交差。演讲内容信息丰富度不足,导致听众关注度不高。
(2)演讲稿特色不分明。部分学生没有分清演讲稿和平时记叙、抒情小品文的区别。如演讲稿选词中式英文明显,用词不够得体,使用较生僻晦涩的词语,抑制信息的有效传播。演讲内容条理不够清晰,逻辑思维不强。演讲长篇大论,让听众抓不住重点,理不清头绪。
(3)演讲者缺乏一定演讲技巧。演讲者吐词模糊,语调缺乏起伏变换,语速过快,声音过小,信息传播率较低。学生难以听懂。或者演讲者表情、手势不自然。
根据以上出现的问题,笔者在活动开展后期做出了逐步的调整和改进。首先,笔者通过奖励形式来激励学生更积极地参与到英语演讲中。在演讲选材上,笔者指导学生演讲要考虑听众心理,做到“先声夺人”,力求选择新颖、独特的素材。演讲词要有较高的概括性、口语化,避免使用生僻、难懂的词语。文章内容做到条理清晰,生动形象。
四、结语
实践证实在英语课堂引入演讲模式不仅激活了课堂教学气氛,提高了学生学习英语的兴趣和英语教学的效率,同时培养了学生语言交流、逻辑思辨和创新能力。认识到英语课堂演讲在英语教学中的重要性,根据实践反映出来的问题加以改进,并坚持不懈地实施下去,笔者相信英语演讲就会不断为大学英语教学带来惊喜,最终会让师生都受益。
