Who am I? Pei Ou Mandarin Teacher from China Majors: Teaching Chinese as a second language & Secondary Education (Mandarin) Optimistic, hard-working & caring
Iwant to be a teacher because… My dad taught math and music for 38 years. I’m good at planning, organizing and communicating. I love teaching others since I was eight. Language is so interesting for me. I like to learn and teach language so much. Using different methods to teach is what I like to do.
My philosophy of teaching Believe students can change their bad behaviors and always help them change. (Behavioristic Approach) Every student can improve with helps. (Humanistic Approach) Clear systems, procedures and expectations of classes will help students learn. (Managerial Approach) Rules are necessary for the classroom. (Authoritative Approach) A teacher can try different teaching methods to find the proper ones. (Folkloric Approach)
Classroom Rules • Talk only when permitted. • Answer questions actively (Hamaker, 1986). • Do not cheat. • Taking notes when it’s necessary (Beecher, 1988). • Use polite speech and body language. • Speak Chinese as much as possible (Swain, 1985). • Hand in the homework on time (Foyle, 1985). • Working hard in group work (Lou, 1996) Obeying the rules then you get a higher score in Performance! Performance score is 10% of your last score!
Theories & Principles Higher-level questions tend to produce deeper levels of learning (Hamaker, 1986). Notes should be considered a work in progress (Denner, 1986). Swain (1985) argues that learners also need opportunities to produce output besides input. The purpose of homework should be identified and articulated Establishing and communicating a homework policy are necessary (Foyle, 1985). Lou et al. (1996) finds that students of all ability levels benefit from ability grouping when compared with no grouping at all.
