A few months later, you will start to teach international students. Today, we will

17、talk about the teaching methods for effective communication, which are greatly helpful for your future teaching career.Teaching methods can help increase communication effectiveness. Clearly organizing ideas and writing an outline on the chalkboard that lists the main points to be covered during the

18、 class helps students follow along with the organization of ideas. 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

19、 words, those 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

20、. After 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!This example of miscommunication points out the necessity for student particip

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

22、ifficulties 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. When students dont understand, it could be a language problem, but it also could be that the teacher doesnt have good teaching skills. So

23、its important to communicate with students to find out what the problem is. Using effective teaching methods does facilitate classroom communication. As teachers with teaching experience in their native countries already know, when lecturing, it is important to clearly state each point before speaki

24、ng about it, make the point and then summarize what has been said. Before beginning another idea or point, its necessary to inform students of this change or transition. Students are reluctant to continually ask teachers to repeat what theyve said, even when they havent completely understood the tea

25、cher. Thus, it is important for teachers to frequently stop to ask if students have any questions. An even better method is to ask questions of the students in order to check their understanding before going on to another topic. Another method often used by both international and American teachers i

26、s 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 in different ways. Its

27、 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 different aspectseven making som

28、e language mistakeswill 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 that a different explanation

29、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.* Ill repeat that in a different way.Although tea

30、chers 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 elicit the help of their students. If the teacher and stude

31、nts 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 understand him.Ive been trying hard to be clear, to say the wor

32、ds separate so that students can understand. 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. Then I explain. You have to encourage their questions. say, Go

33、od question, Interesting, or Who else has a question? You have to make them feel comfortable in the class.Getting students to participate in the class by being friendly and supportive of their comments, ideas, and questions can help both the teacher and the students feel more comfortable in the clas

34、sroom. When students feel comfortable enough to participate in class, they may be more tolerant of the teachers language difficulties and be willing to cooperate with the teacher in solving communication problems.Today, weve talked about ways for you, future international teachers, to enhance commun

35、ication 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 problems. I hope you would have had a good time.填空项1:_（正确答案：communication en-or

37、ECTION B(总题数：1，分数：25.00)(1).Who set (s) the public school calendars?A. Federal government. B. Individual public schools.C. The education chief. D. Individual states and districts.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.解析：听力原文W: Hello, Frank.M: Hello, Miriam. How nice to see you again. Hows everything going?W: Fine. Busy

38、these 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, its not the federal government that sets the calendar for our public schools. Public school calend

39、ars are set by individual states and districts. 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: The students must feel very sad when hearing this new.W: Ye

40、ah, I think so. And this idea is gaining increasing popularity. Its a strategy school districts across the country are experimenting with. Perhaps the most closely watched in Massachusetts, which has extended class time for 26 of its low-performing schools. The idea has even won the endorsement of b

41、oth President Obama and his education chief.M: Mm., I heard that the education chief said in an interview that our current school calendar was based upon the agrarian economy and the vast majority of the students in our country werent working the fields in the summers. So hehe thought it was really

42、an outdated, outmoded model. It needed to be changed.W: I dont agree with him. Extending school year seems so completely short-sighted to me. More time is no silver bullet for reform. Take Miami-Dade County Schools in Florida for example, it used an extended day program for three years, but dropped

43、it because they didnt see improvement in test scores. Besides, itit disrupts family life.M: Well, surely you must have to admit that we have a significantly shorter school year. Im worriederour students are at a competitive disadvantage with their peers in India and China. Students in those other co

44、untries are going to school 210, 220, 230 days a year. Our students are going to school 180 days a year, generally. And I think our students are absolutely smart, absolutely committed, can do extraordinary things. But we have to level the playing field. And if in a sports contest, one team is practi

45、cing three days a week and one team is practicing five days a week, the team that is practicing more is going to do better.W: But simply extending school time in and of itself will not produce the desired results. Larry Cuban, a Stanford University professor of education, has argued that what matter

46、s most is not the quantity but the quality of time students and teachers spend together in the classroom.M: Well, yes. Mm., but, extending school time does bring some advantages. It gives the students learning experiences that they might not be able to get over the summertime. W: But you ask the teachers and students whether, whether they reckon that extending school time brings them advantages. I think goes without saying that no one wants to extend bad time. The teachers are fatigued at the end of the da
