6、ties.5. Learn from the professionals with an open mind; ask them to help me when I do not understand . Contents My internship started from 12 April. I went to No.2 middle school in my hometown, which I have spent 3 years there. I told Mr. Wang -one of my former English teachers my intention and he g

7、ladly accepted my request as an assistant of him. As we discussed, my job is to correct some students homework, give a few lessons in the following 3 weeks.Mr. Wang took me to the classroom on Wednesday-which was the first day I started doing my part of job. Mr. Wang introduced me to the students an

8、d I was welcomed. There are about 40 students in the class. The students are very cute, and it seemed that they were a bit nervous when I sat at the back of the classroom having few classes with them in that week. Some of them even turn around to see what I am doing when the class was going on. And

9、they seemed very shy when I looked them in the eye.I listened with the students for 3 days. During that short period I got familiar with Mr. Wangs teaching style once more. He is very rigorous in teaching, always prepare a lot. It is very homey to have his class again. I can feel that the whole clas

10、s was planning very well. It is not hard for those kids to understand. Mr. Wang can easily control the time even if emergencies happen. Besides, I figured out some new teaching style so that I may give class to the students in my style. After the listening period, I did an analysis to myself: I am n

11、ot a teaching professional, so I know little about teaching methods. Sitting in the classroom to have classes is very comfortable, but it is very hard for an English major to give classes as a teacher. It is not like giving a speech, being a teacher means you must be responsible to your students; yo

12、u have to understand what you should say in the class; you have to make sure most of them can understand what you have taught in the class. There are a lot of teaching methods available: let the students repeat what you have said, ask the students to answer questions and guide them when they really

13、need some help, let them practice immediately after they learned something new. English majors like me may not be familiar with these teaching methods. However, we have our advantages: we have solid English foundation, very accurate English professional knowledge, fluent oral English; and we are alw

14、ays ready to communicate with others.I had my first teaching class on 18 April, class begin at 8:00 am. I walked into the classroom at about 7:55. Mr. Wang came into the classroom with me. I asked him a lot of questions before class. I remember one of his suggestions: you have very fluent oral Engli

15、sh, try your best to encourage them to speak English; you should be a model to them. These words turn “you should be responsible to these lovely students and now you are on your own.” Standing in front of 40 grade two middle school students is not a big deal to me. I have been through that period. I

16、 began the class with “morning, class” After the greetings, I moved immediately to the text. Firstly, I taught the students some new words. And I found a very serious problem: the students pronunciation is terrible. Maybe it is because I am English major and I am more sensitive to pronunciation. So

17、I spend about 10 minutes teaching them some Phonetic Alphabet, but it seemed very hard to them. So I asked them to repeat for many times until most of them can remember. it takes about 10 more minutes to finish the words, which means I have to move faster with the text or I wont be able to finish it

18、. Finally, I managed finishing the lesson and leave some homework for the students. I feel ok about my first teaching experience. When I heard some students say that they have never paid so much attention to pronunciation and they think they are getting better on that part, I feel very good. For the

19、 first I have the feeling that it is very meaningful to be a good teacher. It is great to see your hard word have good ends.During the last two weeks, I gave about 8 classes to those students. We got familiar with other and I can remember most of the students names. I also spent some time doing spor

20、ts with them so that we can communicate with each other. I tried my best to find topics of their taste. I am glad that when I do not give classes to them they took me as one of their friends; it seems that they are willing to trust me. That feeling is really amazing. When I do not have classes, I sp

21、ent some time correcting the students homework. I found that those kids care a lot about their teachers comment, so I paid a lot attention to it. I gave different comments according to the students personality when I got familiar with the students. Such as “you can really do better”, “it is very goo

22、d for you to use what you have learned in the class, dont lose it” and so on. It means a lot to them. I also communicate with Mr. Wang and other English teachers. I was really glad to hear some teachers say that I have made some change to the students pronunciation. I can really improve their oral E

23、nglish if I can stay longer. Some student told their teacher that it is very cool speak fluent English like Mr. Li, though they can not understand what I was talking (That is embarrassing). I finished my internship on 29 April. Gains1. Guide the students to like EnglishLet the students know that it

24、is not difficult to learn English. Confidence and interest are the main components as Non-intelligence factors. The establishment of self-confidence and the development of interest will play a positive pole in English learning. The bad thing is that most of the students have the feeling that “Englis

25、h is difficult to learn and one can hardly manage the English learning stuff by himself”. This brought a lot adverse effects to English teachers. The best way to eliminate this psychological barrier is to teach students the proper learning style. Let the students grasp the regularity and have the ev

26、idence to according to instead of mechanical memorizing.2. Let the students believe in themselvesLet the students have a brief understanding of their learning achievements. Student can obtain some achievements by hard work, they should be promptly aware of their current situation such as the practic

27、al application of their knowledge, the results of their homework and paper works; these can consolidate and develop their learning motivation. Teachers should give affirmation or deny to the students oral answers; give timely revise to the students homework; let the students know their progress; the

28、se actors can work as driving force to arouse their enthusiasm.Cultivate good habits for the students Good habits can help a person improve his study efficiently and let him benefit from it for the rest of his life. While good habits can only be formed gradually through continuous accumulation and p

29、ractice. The best time to cultivate good learning habits is at the beginning of the learning stage, or it will be too late once bad habits formed. 4. Form the correct learning strategy The so-called learning is referred to improve the learning quality and learning efficiency in all kinds of activiti

30、es. It involves learning objectives, self-knowledge management, learning plan, learning method and skills etc. For instance, how to understand, memorize and use words and sentences; which form to adopt in knowledge understanding, memorizing and using, etc.5. Correct the study manner Firstly, study h

31、ard and practice a lot. English is a communicative tool. The purpose of learning English is to use this tool skillfully. The main approach of learning is practice. Only through adequate training can one understand what he or she have learned, and gradually reach the point of skillful use. Secondly,

32、never be shy to speak or read in front of others; pay more attention to overcome the psychological barrier. Thirdly, just persevere. Learning English takes time, one can only be good enough by long-term commitment to adhere to the study. There are a lot of students learning English with a good start

33、 but can not keep up with others gradually. Lots of reasons lead to that situation, while fear of difficulties, can not persist are always among them.6. Teachers should improve their own quality and made themselves Models for the students For most of the students, English is not the strange and mysterious subject any longer. Many kids started the learning of English very early; some of them even have a good foundation by the time their school offers English classes. Therefore, as a teacher, we should always be ready to answer questions asked by the students. We must answer th
