It is the second time for me to visit schools in this semester. I am surprised that the junior high school teaching and the senior high school teaching are much different. In fact, I do not expect to watch any astonished teaching style or skill before visiting Lishan High School. However, when I sit inside the Miss Yuan’s class to be the audience, I am excited about the class and eager to participate with them. Miss Yuan is teaching the lesson about Bermuda Triangle, and her tools include film, handout, ppt, and intercoms. After explaining some relevant vocabulary and story about Bermuda Triangle, she shows the film to students. In my opinion, the sources about Bermuda Triangle are not easy to search, but Miss Yuan prepares the film and some dialogue copies about film for students to discuss. That is an old document which records two pilots’ experience as they are in the myterious Bermudaa Triangle. Their preofessional dialogue becomes the good material for students to immitate and interpret in the class. Through the intercom, every student has opprtunity to speak and listen to one another. Miss Yuan seems to complete her mission that she leads students to learn english history, language, speaking, and listening. Indeed, if a English class contains these features, the students will have solid English groundwork.
As to Hedy, I can’t believe that she is just a practiced teacher because she is confident and sophisticated. She uses the traditional radio in her class, but it functions with ppt and handouts. Her voice is one of advantages to teach students because it is powerful and clear. I think she belongs to the attractive teachers whose personality draws students view a lot. Her interaction with students is her smile, language, and body language. She is young and easily get close to students. Her position for students is between teahcers and friends. Besides, she is quick-witted for she gives many connective daily examples to students. She is good at raising the atmosphere in the class. I suppose that it is not easy for a teacher to keep her enthusiasm and energy all the time, but I hope that like Hedy I can keep my enthusiasm for students in the future. The visiting of Lishan High School makes me learn a lot! I appreciate our teacher who arranges the visiting for us.
