How would you test the student's reading 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 would ask the student to read a set passage for me. I would listen for fluency and speed of the reading, accuracy of pronunciation and whether they have any miscues, substitutions omissions etc. These would give me an idea of their reading level in general, and then I might have some multiple choice questions or comprehension questions to ask after the reading, to test their understanding of what they've just read.

我会要求学生读一小段文章，听学生朗读的流利程度和速度、发音正确度、是否存在失误、词汇遗漏和替换等。这样我能了解到他们的大致阅读水平，为了测试他们对所读内容的理解，阅读后，我可能会准备些多选性问题或理解性问题来提问。

How would you structure a regular 30 minute reading or normal 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？

The first 5 MINUTES; greetings and routine questions (how are you? Fav colour, animal? What's the weather like today? What did you do last week?) depending on the age/level of the student. Review what was done last lesson, highlight some points, then ask review questions. 5 MINUTES; Present/introduce the tasks or reading that will be done in this class, explaining the idea and maybe some of the vocab or grammar that they might not know or have used before. 10 MINUTES; Practice the grammar/vocab/reading using a text or multiple choice questions, open-ended questions, writing etc. Correct and explain and help with any difficulties, maybe explaining again but in a different way using examples, illustrations or picture forms. 10 MINUTES; They can produce the exercises on their own, showing their understanding of the task just done, give them appropriate homework depending on the level and their comprehension of the task. Tell them that you will review it next time.

前5分钟：互相问候，并根据学生的年龄和水平问一些常规问题（你好吗？最喜欢的颜色，动物是什么？今天天气怎么样？上周做了什么？）回顾上节课学的内容，突出重点，然后问些复习性问题。 接下来的5分钟：介绍本节课要完成的任务或阅读，向学生解释这个想法，可能还会有一些他们之前不认识或没用过的词汇或语法。

How would you relate one lesson to next 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 would review, at the beginning of the class, what was done previously. Ask Questions and ask them to produce their own answer, and I would try to use it again in the present class. You can often put grammar from the last class with this class and incorporate them together, so when they produce their own ideas they are remembering both. For example; frequency adverbs can then be used together with simple / continuous tenses. In the concluding part of the class, I usually review the ideas, give homework that is on the same topic and plan to follow the same logic in the next class.

在每节课的开始，我都会做复习，之前我们学过了什么，提问并让他们用自己的话来回答，而这些内容我在本节课也会再次用到。 常常可以把上节课的语法知识于本课内容结合，这样他们在表达自己想法的时候还能记得这些知识。例如：频率性副词可在简单或连续性时态中使用。在课程结尾部分，我通常会回顾一下大意、布置相同话题的作业、根据同一逻辑计划下次的课程。

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？

Each student is different, in level, age and speed of learning, but in general would expect a beginner/lower level to have grasped the basics, like answering the routine questions, simple grammar like the verb to be, to have and make and understand basic sentences. Reading of simple texts should become easier, though the comprehension may still be difficult. A higher level or quicker learner would be able to read a text with more fluency and quicker. Their accuracy of pronunciation should have improved, so that even though they make mistakes they might realise it's a mistake and/or they correct themselves. Assessment of a student's improvement has to be based on them, individually.

每个学生的水平、年龄、学习的速度都是不同的，但是总的来说我希望初学者或者较低水平的学术能够掌握基础知识，像回答常规问题、掌握简单的语法例如动词、能够表达和理解基本句子。尽管阅读理解可能仍然有点困难，但是已经可以轻松地阅读简单的课文。 一个较高水平或学习较快的学生能够更流利更快地阅读一篇课文。他们发音的准确度得到了提高，甚至在意识到出错时可以自行纠正。
