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？

I feel it is important to first spend time getting to know the student, making them feel comfortable. Asking a variety of questions and discussing various subjects helps me to tailor future instruction to each individual student. During our initial meeting I will have the student read preselected portions of text. Their ability to read each portion provides valuable information about the student`s strengths and needs which will be used first to determine a student`s level of English and second, to create personalized lesson plans. To determine a student`s level effectively I employ several methods endorsed by various Provinces of Canada to assess each student on an individual basis as well as a number of other strategies. It is essential that a student reads at approximately 90% accuracy level. Reading at this level allows a student to feel challenged, not discouraged. When students are able to read in this range, they solidify their word-recognition and word-analysis skills but more importantly, they will understand what they read and will enjoy learning and reading. Every student is unique and so there are no set rules. I like review the student`s progress from time to time and make any needed adjustments to allow the student to learn English at his or her own speed.

我觉得一开始花点时间了解学生是很重要的，要让他们感到放松。通过问各种各样的问题，讨论不同的主题来帮助我为每个学生置顶适合他们的教学计划。试听课上，我会让学士读一读提前选好的课文。他们在阅读过程中表现出来的优势和学习需求首先决定了他们英语水平，其次提供了我制定课程计划的条件。为了高效地评估学生水平，我是用的方法是加拿大多省用来评估单个学生英语水平的方法及其他多种方法。还要时不时的检查下学生的进步情况，并根据学生学习的进度进行必要的调整。最基本的要做到，让学生阅读准确率达到90%左右，因为阅读一个水平的文章要让学生感到具有挑战性，而不是打击学生的自信心。他们在这个水平范围内阅读，既巩固了单词的识别能力又提高了单词分析技巧，最重要的是，他们在享受学习阅读的过程中知道自己了解到了什么。每个学生都是对于无二的，因此没有所谓的规则。我喜欢时不时地检查学生的进步情况，也会做一些调整来适应学生的学习速度。

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？

I use communicative language teaching methods in conjunction with task based language learning. I incorporate strategies to amplify, or increase vocabulary and encourage oral language use. English proficiency must include both receptive English (which includes listening and reading) and expressive English (which includes speaking and writing). I initiate classes with free conversation time which allows the student an opportunity to practice their oral English. Comprehension is an important aspect of all classes and so I focus on how well my student understands the text that we have read. For example, after reading a selected portion of text, the student may be asked to retell what has been read and to answer some specific comprehension questions. The student should be able to retell the main ideas and most details and make connections to personal experiences or relate to current world events. We will review new words and phrases within the text, taking time to look at pictures and graphs to build background knowledge prior to reading. I like to incorporate technology which may include pictures or video to help a student grasp a new concept, word or phrase. I feel that each student needs to feel attached to and comfortable using their new language therefore I will integrate into our lessons topics that interest them most. I want to make learning English a fun experience for each child!

我会用交流教学法来连接来完成语言学习的任务。我会综合使用多种策略，或增加词汇量的方式，来鼓励学生口头语言的使用。英语的熟练必须要接受（包括听力和阅读）并表达英语（包括表达和写作）。开始上课的时候，我通常会给用一些时间和学生自由对话，这是一个锻炼他们口语的好机会。理解力的培养是课程中一个重要的方面，所以我比较关注学生对所读内容的理解程度。比如，在阅读一篇预选好的文章后，我会让学生对所读内容进行复述，然后回答相应的阅读理解问题。学生应该复述主要意思和大部分细节，还能根据个人情况联系到实际中。然后我们还要复习课文中的词汇和短语，看图片或图标来搭建起之前阅读的背景知识。在课堂中，我喜欢用一些类似于图片、视频等技术，来帮助学生掌握新的概念、词汇或短语。我觉得每个学生都要体会到参与感，放松自如地使用他们的新语言，所以我会把他们感兴趣的话题和课堂知识相结合。我希望让每个孩子都有一次充满乐趣的学习体验。

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？

I will review key points at the beginning and end of each lesson. Emphasis will be placed on new words or phrases which the student learned during our prior lesson. I encourage students to practice using these words or phrases so that they become natural for them.

我将在每节课的开始和结尾时复习知识要点，而重点放在哪些我们上节课学过的新单词或短语上。我鼓励学生使用这些单词或短语，这样他们以后就会很自然地使用它们了。
