学以致用

【Questions】

Please answer the following questions，give reasons for your opinion，and compare your answers with those you gave before reading this chapter.

1.Based on the theories in this unit，what are the main educational factors that cause teacher L's wholehearted enthusiasm to meet with cold indifference from his students?

2.In your opinion，what kind of classroom teaching activity conforms to the essence of education?

教师解析： 1. In the first place, teaching is an interactive activity in which both teachers and students become more developed. Teacher L conducts a completely exam-oriented teaching, which is boring and mundane. He is ignorant of students’ learning needs and there is no interaction between them. Secondly, in language teaching, the more important factor is students’ positive and active approach to learning. Teacher L obviously doesn’t care about students’ motivation and incentive; he crams learning materials and exam content in the students, regardless of students’ emotional response. Lastly, teaching should be teacher-led but students-centered activity. Here teacher L takes teaching as teacher-led and exam-centered. He is putting the cart before the horse. Only by focusing on students’ learning needs and motivation can they perform well in exams and achieve learning goals.
2. The essence of teaching is to lead students to develop and the teacher’s job is to help students to find answers by themselves and to explore language learning methods by themselves. Therefore, the teaching activity that conforms to the essence of education is a series of questions thrown to students to help deduce proper answers.

After learning this section, let’s make a summary.
