Question 1
I like the time when teacher let us discuss the issues or problems on the class or share the opinions with my classmates. In my point of view, this is an important time for students to learn again what they learned before and student can avoid not to be so subjective through discuss to their classmates. In addition, it could be a best way for students’ interaction. Everyone can know others’ thoughts and they will gain many aspects based on one issue. If one just sticks to his or her thoughts and reject to accept another’s, they will be completely subjective, and do not know how to communicate with others. So, I think discuss on the class is significant and necessary for every class activity.
Look the opposite, I do not like the class which just only read the book and do not have some interesting activities. On one hand, students will feel bored and lost their interest on the class. On the other hand, students will learn little from the class for the teacher arranges the content and do not extend the extra knowledge. In conclusion, it will limit students chance to accept new aspect for the issues or the problems.
Question 2
The fun activity I experienced recently is show and tell. This is an activity which let every student to introduce something interesting or funny happened in their lives. Students need to step to the stage, use the power point, and introduce their topic in English. It quite funny to some extent and it always brings the audience burst into laughter for they will try their best to get the highest score on the show.
Question 3
I always seek for my friends or teachers’ help when I encounter the difficult knowledge. Like the point I mentioned above, it is very important for us to discuss the problems we face on the class. In addition, I will use the Internet to find the information about the knowledge as well.
Question 4
Based on the question 1, 2, 3, I think I am the type of open learning. I like to discuss to classmates on the class, and share my opinions on the issues. In addition, I love to know others’ opinions as well. It can not only expand my horizon but also teach me how to accept the voice which is different from yours. So, being an opening learner will gain more opportunity to know the knowledge when you are on the class.
I am glad to know that you prefer discussion most. From my teaching experience, I found that it is a good approach to help the students brainstorm for new ideas. I prefer this way of teaching, too because most of my students like to share their opinions with their classrooms. Whenever I give them a topic, they become eager to express thier ideas and I found that if I give them sufficient time for discussion, there are always some creative ideas coming out from them. On the contrary, when I ask my students to read something in class, they appear relucteant to talk and express themselves. Reading seems more like one-way learning for them. They think the teacher is the center in reading class and most of the time they just listen to me silently. In this way, there are fewer interactions between my students and I. I do not like this way of teaching because I can hardly understand what my students think of the activity.
回覆刪除Also I am glad to know that you are an open learner. I think you can obtain much useful knowledge and information from others if you keep your mind open, right? I do believe that we can benefit a lot from sharing opinions with others. So I hope you will keep this way of learning for long.
