A few months later, you will start to teach international students. Today, we will talk about the tea

16、ching methods for effective communication, which are generally helpful for your future teaching career. Teaching methods can help increase communication effectiveness.(1)Clearly organizing ideas and writing an outline on the chalkboard that lists the main points to be covered during the class helps

17、students follow along with the organization of ideas.(2)It is also very helpful for students when teachers write technical terms or theoretical concepts on the board as they are mentioned. Students need and appreciate this effort. When a teacher is unsure about the pronunciation of certain words, th

18、ose words should also be written on the board. The importance of writing words on the board is illustrated in the following experience of an undergraduate student. “ I had a biology professor from Latin America. He gave a lecture on hung trees. I had never heard about that kind of tree before. After

19、 class a bunch of us students were talking about the hung trees. The American teacher heard us and asked us what we were talking about. It was really funny. He said the lecture was about young trees, not hung trees!“ (3)This example of miscommunication points out the necessity for student participat

20、ion in the international teachers classroom.(4)By setting aside class time for students to explain and discuss their understanding of the course material and the teachers lecture or explanations, marry communication errors can be corrected before they interfere with student learning. Of course, some

21、 difficulties may be assumed to result from language problems when in fact the problem lies elsewhere. “For the foreign teacher, we have a problem with the language.(5)When students dont understand, it could be a language problem, but it also could be that the teacher doesnt have good teaching skill

22、s. So its important to communicate with students to find out what the problem is. “ Using effective teaching methods does facilitate classroom communication.(6)As teachers with teaching experience in their native countries already know, when lecturing, it is important to clearly state each point bef

23、ore speaking about it, make the point and then summarize what has been said.(7)Before beginning another idea or point, its necessary to inform students of this change or transition. (8)Students are reluctant to continually ask teachers to repeat what theyve said, even when they havent completely und

24、erstood the teacher. Thus, it is important for teachers to frequently stop to ask if students have any questions.(9)An even better method is to ask questions of the students in order to check their understanding before going on to another topic.(10)Another method often used by both international and

25、 American teachers is presenting the same idea in more than one way. One teacher from France says “ As a foreigner and since I dont speak the language as well as an American, I repeat very often the same thing in different ways. So they may pick it up the way they want during the many times I say it

26、 in different ways. Its a technique I am spontaneously using. I guess it helps them to understand me as a foreigner speaking. And certainly its useful for understanding certain things that are very hard to understand. If you say it one time, its not enough, so repeating it several ways from differen

27、t aspects even making some language mistakes will help them to pick up the idea. “ When giving multiple explanations or examples of the same idea, the teacher should preface each explanation to indicate that the same idea is being explained, only in a different way. Common phrases used to indicate t

28、hat a different explanation of the same idea is about to be given are: * “ Stated another way.“ * “A simpler explanation of the same idea is.“ * “Said another way.“ * “ Let me present another way of understanding this.“ * “The same idea can be explained in this way.“ * “ Another example of this is.“

29、 * “Ill repeat that in a different way.“ Although teachers who have had extensive lecture experience in their home countries may already use the lecture techniques described here, it may be necessary to exaggerate these methods to ensure adequate communication. Many effective teachers learn to elici

30、t the help of their students.(11)If the teacher and students have a friendly relationship, students usually are more willing to help facilitate communication in the classroom. In the following statement a teacher from Iran described how he uses certain teaching methods to be sure his students unders

31、tand him. “Ive been trying hard to be clear, to say the words separate so that students can understand.(12)Once in a while I stop and ask, Do you follow? or Am I clear? and pretty much make them feel that any time they can stop me. Anytime they want they can stop me and say, I didnt get that point.

32、Then I explain. You have to encourage their questions, say, Good question , Interesting , or Who else has a question? You have to make them feel comfortable in the class.“ (13)Getting students to participate in the class by being friendly and supportive of their comments, ideas, and questions can he

33、lp both the teacher and the students feel more comfortable in the classroom.(14)When students feel comfortable enough to participate in class, they may be more tolerant of the teachers language difficulties and(15)be willing to cooperate with the teacher in solving communication problems. Today, wev

34、e talked about ways for you, future international teachers, to enhance communication in the classroom. The suggestions are offered as a starting point. By endeavoring to understand communication problems that can occur in the international teachers classroom, you can take action to minimize these pr

Hows everything going? W: Fine. Busy t

44、hese days? M: Yeah. With lots of things to do. Would you like to join me for a drink? W: OK, thanks. M: Any news recently? W: Oh, well, yesterday I read the newspaper and got very shocking news. You know,(1/2- 1)its not the federal government that sets the calendar for our public schools. Public sch

45、ool calendars are set by individual states and districts.(2-2)According to the news, instead of a long summer break, our local school decided to keep students in class year-round with shorter breaks throughout, offering about 20 additional school days. M:(2- 3)The students must feel very sad when he
