Teaching Listening &Speaking

From 16 chapter, I learn a lot pf ways of teaching listening which I had not known or thought about before. Colloquial language is really an emphasis I should work hard to improve. Intensive is a good way to enhance students’ components but it also much easily to bore them I think. Responsive way could be used to check students’ comprehension, increase the interaction in class and make them have more chances to speak. It’s a nice approach I will take to tutor my student. I can also select some materials related to students’ interests and backgrounds to elicit their motivation in learning. Activity is really an interesting and effective way for teaching if we work it out appropriately. I learn from the content not only approaches but also these names of approaches. Three types of activities give me much inspiration. Though it is troublesome to use some teaching materials in the cram school, I’ll try to do this way. Actually, I have taught those kids with bottom-up exercises for discriminating between phonemes; however I seem to spend too long time processing the activity. It has always taken me 20 minutes to finish it. I will try to shorten the time next time. The context mentions that the imitative way is suitable for a very limited speaking time. Although I often use it before class dismissal, I also use it repeatedly to make them be ordered when those children are noisy. It seems a not bad way but I spend too much time on it in the class and thus it reduces some chances of other learning ways for them to learn.
