The Use of Inquiry-based Teaching in Junior Secondary English Teaching

Abstract

With the development and reform of China's education, rich and diverse teaching methods have gradually appeared in people's vision, among which inquiry-based teaching highlights the main position of students, advocates learning by doing, thinking in learning and exploring the acquisition of knowledge. This teaching style has a wide range of applications in teaching. When students enter junior high school, their learning tasks become more demanding and difficult, and traditional teaching methods are no longer suitable for junior high school teaching. The "independent exploration" and "learning by doing" approach in inquiry-based teaching can be a good solution to the dilemmas that exist in junior high school teaching. Therefore, this paper takes inquiry-based teaching as an entry point to explore its practice and application in junior high school English teaching, with the aim of improving the quality of junior high school English teaching and enhancing students' learning outcomes.
