I was so excited that had the first visit of teaching model in Lishan high school. I have heard about the school but I do not where it sets. I was in group B and our group were going to visit 賴佩玲老師and 陳映廷老師. When I went to the classroom, there is a similar scene appearing before my eyes. I just fell into the memory of my high school period. Because of the reason, I understood what was going to” happen” in class.In 佩玲老師’s class, the process of the model is following:
1. recall
2. vocabulary teaching( use a picture of baseball scoreboard)
3. a oral practice of the students
4. Listening practice of the students—the teacher read a short article and the students have to pay attention to what the teacher said.
5. grammar using
6. PC English
First, I’d like to appreciate teacher 佩玲 spent time to showed us a model before their mid-exam, her teaching process it quite logic and she tried to let all the students do their best to learn English. I saw several students in the back of the classroom were trying their best to join the activities. That touched my heart because they seem not like to study English but they still be a “model” to us. Second, in the course, the teacher showed us that pronunciation is very important to help realize what and how to use a sentence and vocabulary using and also showed the students a very important connotation—English provocation is not only helpful in learning, but language is a tool in communicating with others.
We got a different view from 映廷老師.She used power point with pictures and grammar to help the students study English. They are 11th grades students. They were learning the mythology stories; it’s amazing that the students they were studying English literature. At first, I doubt”what the students can learn from it? It is very difficult.” But teacher 映廷’ flexible teaching skill and clear explanation let the students absorbed in the course. I think that is another way in teaching skill. She is also a good stories teller. Not only tell the students a story, she also explains the sources of several vocabularies, and I find out that is another way in helping them to learn vocabulary using and realize the background of the vocabulary. Every vocabulary has a story. English learning is not jus t making students to be the test-takers, but help them knowing the history and expand their views in connecting the world. Two of the teachers use different in teaching English, but their modes of the teaching spply us a good mean– patience, logic and technological.

The way how every teacher conducts their classes varies from person to person in their beliefs, styles and personalities. Experiences play an important part, too. No matter how, I believe that every teacher in Lishan is trying their best to motivate students. They use different strategies to make their teaching not only interesting but also meaningful. Observing other teachers’ learning sure gives us a lot of food for thought, doesn’t it?
