How would you test the student's level based on a 20 minute trial class?

你如何在20分钟的试听课中测试学生的英语水平？

According to the student’s age I will pick a few short texts (or sentences) and ask the student to read one first. After reading the first text (or sentence) I will check whether the student has understood and adapt the second short text (or sentence) to his/her actual level.

根据学生的年龄，我会选择一些短的小文章（或者句子）来让学生先读一遍。读完第一个小文章或句子后，我会确认是否学生理解，并进行第二个小文章或者句子，已测定学生的实际英文水平

How would you structure a regular 30 minute class? What methods would you use?

30分钟的正式课，你是怎么安排？你用什么方法？

- 1-2minutes: Casual talking: ask how the student is, whether he/she is tired or busy at school lately, how is the weather like today, etc. This allows the student to relax and also helps me to adapt my approach (for example: be more encouraging, less demanding, etc.) - 3-4 minutes: review last lesson or correct homework. - 20 minutes: o Reading class: the student reads a text (I correct mistakes while he/she reads), I ask the student to tell me the events or summarize it, and we look for vocabulary. I ask precise questions about the text. o Writing class: We study spelling rules and learn how to put them in practice in different situations by doing short exercises. o Normal class: We continue the lesson at the student’s pace, doing short exercises after each new grammatical rule or type of sentence. It allows students to put in practice what they learn and helps them to remember it. - 5 minutes: Give homework. Homework helps students to write down what we have studied in the lesson, therefore giving them a chance to revise on their own.

1-2分钟，日常聊天。问学生怎么样？是否她最近上学很累，或者很忙？今天的天气如何等等。这样可以让学生放松，同时也能帮助我去调整我的方法（ 例如：给更多鼓励，要一些要求等等） 3-4分钟 复习上次课的内容，或者 修改上节课留的作业； 20分钟： 阅读课：学生读一段文章（我会纠正错误），我会让学生告诉我文章内容或者总结它。我们会学习新单词，我会问文章主要问题 写作课 ：我们学习拼写规则，用小短句开始学习如何使用这些规则在不同的情况下。 普通课：我们会会根据学生的进度来进行课程安排，学习每一个新的语法规则后，做一些小的练习。这样可以让学生实践他们学到的内容并且帮助他们记忆。 5分钟：留作业。作业可以帮助学生写下我们在课堂上学习的内容，给他们一个自己复习的机会。

How would you relate one lesson to nest so as to ensure the student has retained the key points and make your lessons systemic?

你如何让每节课和每节课之间都有衔接，系统化你的课程？

At the end of each lesson I usually give short exercises, which will help the student to remember the content of the lesson. At the beginning of the next lesson we will take a few minutes to recall the main ideas. It allows me see how much the student remembers and understands. If necessary, I will look for another way to explain it again.

在每次课结束后，我通过会给短的练习，这样可以帮助学生掌握课堂上学习的内容。下一次课开始的时候，我们会花几分钟就回忆一下上次课的要点。这样我可以知道学生掌握了多少内容。如果有必要，我会再找个方法解释一遍上次课的要点。

What improvement would you expect your student make after 10 or 20 hours?

10小时/20小时后你期待学生什么样的进步？

My first goal would be to make students be at ease. I believe they can improve faster if they enjoy their lessons. After 10 or 20 hours students are less shy and scared about making mistakes. Even though mistakes are not good, they are an inseparable part of the learning process. Making mistakes, and having them corrected, is a good way to learn. They will also increase their knowledge and vocabulary, which will help them to express themselves more precisely on a wider range of subjects.

我的要首要目标是让学生喜欢上我的课。我相信如果他们喜欢上课，他们可以进步更快。在10或者20小时后，学生不那么害羞，敢于犯错，尽管犯错不是那么好，但是他们是学习阶段的不可分割的一部分。犯错，然后让他们改正，是一个非常好的学习方式。这样可以增加他们的知识和词汇量，也可以帮助他们在一个更宽泛的主题中更精准的表达自己的想法。
