In the seventh lesson, I know more about how to make use of techniques, materials, and syllabus design. I also believe that using appropriate teaching skills, interesting materials, and well-designed syllabus will indeed help teachers to teach in a great degree. Indeed, all the above can help students become more concentrate and get involved to learn effectively in a class.
Actually, I have experienced these familiar techniques during my learning process. When I was in junior high school and senior high school, lessons were often taught in a traditional way. The teacher just used lots of controlled techniques to teach and almost everyone in the class just got used to them. The teachers led us to read aloud, practice drills, copy the text, and then gave us lots of tests. At that time, I think most of us just learn by following the teacher’s instructions step by step, doing much homework and preparing for passing the exams only. It seems like we just accustomed to learn in such a passive way instead of trying to explore something novel, fresh, or beyond the text by ourselves. However, when I entered the college, I was a little bit unable to adjust myself and change this kind of passive learning way. I found out that teachers in university are quite different from teachers in high school in the aspect of teaching. I realized that more and more semi-controlled and free techniques like brain-storming, referential question-answer, role-play, problem-solving, discussion, and so on are used to encourage students to think independently and work on our own. They make teaching more interesting, challengeable, creative, and inspiring for us and I also trained to be more active in my own learning process and learn more independently in a subject. I think teachers can measure students’ ability and level to adjust using different kinds of techniques ranging from the easy controlled techniques to semi-controlled and free techniques with more challenges or difficulties to facilitate different student’s learning.
