What is the essence of teaching English, can you be more specific?

The essence of teaching is to help students acquire knowledge and skills, as well as cultivate their thinking ability and creativity, so that they can become self-directed learners and self-developed people. Teaching is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about inspiring students' thinking, mobilizing students' interest in learning, and improving students' learning ability and quality. The essence of teaching is to promote the all-round development of students, so that they can grow and progress in their learning.

1. Education should first and foremost cultivate a complete person. A complete person cannot be without reason and virtue. Based on the basic characteristics of human survival and development, we should pay attention to cultivating everyone's independent thinking, free spirit, healthy personality, civic concept, sense of rules, and courage to question, so that people can develop the pursuit of wisdom, truth, goodness, and beauty, realize spiritual growth, and then pursue a life of goodness and filial piety.

Only when our education makes up for this heavy lesson will we be able to shine with the light of humanity and lay the foundation for healthy, positive, upward growth and development.

2. Secondly, education can cultivate useful people. That is, to have a certain knowledge, culture, and skills, to become a useful person to the country and society, and to realize the meaning of self-survival and development, self-worth. Much effort has been made in this area of education in the present era, but it has not been satisfactory.

The reason is still that the mechanized education model teaches students a lot of static, outdated and even dead knowledge and skills, which is difficult to connect with the ever-changing market demand, so that the trained people do not delay the draft to meet the needs of the society. In this regard, only through the teaching of knowledge and cultural skills can students be taught some learning skills, innovative spirit, adaptability skills, thinking habits, practical ability, etc., so that they can adapt to changes and always become useful people.

3. The ultimate goal of education should be to cultivate people who develop freely. The whole man and the useful man are the wings of the free development of man. On this basis, the ideals and beliefs of life, meaning and value, creation and innovation, struggle and enterprising stool have become clear and followable.

Then, through the shaping of free development, the interests and goals of the individual and the state, the nation, the people and the society can be unified, and the all-round free development of the people will be promoted in the process of striving for the goals of the country and the nation, and the goals of the country and the nation will be realized in the process of promoting the all-round and free development of the people. Only at this level can education produce a large number of first-class and outstanding talents.
