Little kids are a big tragedy for me

This week, from the text book, I figure out why those imps are always able to make me mad. The most serious problem is they lack intrinsic motivation so that they don’t care about grades, study and participation in the class. Except these imps, there are still some kids who are meek, studying hard and participating in the class actively but they would be disturbed easily by those noisy children. I don’t like to take over a new class actually because it would take a long time for me to manage the order of the class. I have no perfect way to keep order so that I couldn’t proceed with the curriculum successfully sometimes. I have ever inquired one of the imps why she always runs around and play around in the class and she told me it’s so boring to sit in the chair and study English, even to writing the homework. It's not a simple task to change her because she is get used to paying little attention to the class before I took over the class. Moreover, their English abilities are totally diverse and some of them couldn’t even tell 26 letters correctly. It confuses me and I have no idea about teaching materials sometimes.
I am much gladder to tutor single student at one time because it seems easier for me than teaching a group of kids. At least I don’t have to “manage” them. My experiences to tutor junior high students are great presently because we can become mates and talk about something interesting happening at school. They are so different from elementary students that I can talk something meaningful to them rather than being busy keeping order. I like the job of tutoring students on the premise that they have intrinsic motivation so far.

Teaching Methods(week2)

If I am the teacher who are going to choose which method she will use in Englisg teaching, I woud like to use mixed way of grammar translation, audiolingual , natural approach, CLT and so on, depending on the situation. Taiwaness students are accustomed to traditional way of teaching, and so far as the learning situation was concerned, it's hard to change the way of learning and teaching. Sometimes for The Basic Competence Test For Junior High School Students , I have no choice but to use grammar translation. It's really not an easy task to transfer the condition. What I can do may be to follow the former's steps. Although to continue a criticized way variablely as we have known is bad, it is difficult to vary the established way of learning. I could not forcast the result of using a in way of English teaching around all the world except Asia so I may be lacking the courage to enforce it sometimes. Teaching does need practicing and experiences, through these you can do better effectively. I am still doing trial and error in teaching eight to twelve children so far. Somewhile I thought I got the right way to teach and manage; however, next time it did'nt work. Teaching is not as easy as many people think and being a good teacher is therefore challenging.

self-introduction

Hello,I'm Amanda. It's not the first time I use a web log but it's the first time I use the English blog. It's kind of interesting and convenient to hand in homework by my own blog. It will be also a way to improve my English ability and force me to keep writing in English. I hope I can form a habit to keep writing in English from now on. Oh, I seem to stray from the main topic about self-introduction. Then let's come back to it. As I said in the first class, why I want to take this course is because I would like to be a teacher; what's more, from my tutor experiences, I found out it's not as easy as I thought to teach student English. Sometimes I felt frustrated about that. I tutor junior high students in English and as a tutor in a cram school so far. The most difficult task for me is to teach those 8 to 12 years old children in the cram school. I have even thought they are devils sometimes when some of them are out of control. It is really annoying to manage those kids who are running and clamouring in class. It's a tough task to teach chidren who are not obedient to your orders. It made me feel maybe I am not a competent teacher in teaching English. I think it can be a good experience to be a tutor; however, it can also ruin one's confidence in teaching. I really want to be a teacher if I can in the future so I try to discover and learn the more suitable way in teaching from my experiences. I also want to become the competent teacher who has good influence on my students. That's why I take this course.
In my English learning experience, I had never thought I would major in English someday; however, I have always wanted to be a good teacher. Before I came back from America this summer, I thought English is just a kind communicate tool for me, but now I have developed interest in English since I went to America for traveling. It is not just an tool for me anymore. I have more powerful motive and interest to teach English. I am glad to find the exect goal to achieve, even though I have been still confused and struggled in preparing a graduate school or not.
what I would like to get from this course at first are skills and the correct way for teaching. On the other hand, I want to know whether I am fit to be a teacher or not from this course. Nevertheless, after the teacher's explanation, I understand there's no correct way for teaching but many kinds of way. From other classmates' experiences, it seems not my own difficulty to be frustrated for teaching little children. I hope to learn more about how to teach and develope more confidence from this course.
