Comparison Compare American culture and Chinese culture
What may need to adjust Communication Community
Communication Doesn’t accommodate the goals Encourage meaningful COMMUNICATION Sustain Students’ motivation of talking Student-centered teaching Unbalance between four skills Listening< Speaking< Reading <Writing
Community Situational grammar practices
Conclusion Unattractive Provide few opportunities in talking Robotic exercises ____________________________________________________ Provide Various activities Multi-topics Include a broad range and diverse representation of countries
How to use ? Worksheets and knowledge of different topics are required to accommodate. Use authentic materials and field trips to instruct real life incidents In order to bring life into activities, role-play could be considered.
What I have learned Give specific information for high level students to learn and design a lot of practical activities in learning Supplementary activities will bring energy into serious topic teacher addressed. The rubric to examine connection and community are not specifically examined. The rubric are more like to evaluate beginner’s textbook and to examine high level is not really appropriate.
