18、 you will start to teach international students. Today, we will talk about the teaching methods for effective communication, which are generally helpful for your future teaching career. Teaching methods can help increase communication effectiveness. Clearly organizing ideas and writing an outline on

19、 the chalkboard that lists the main points to be covered during the class helps students follow along with the organization of ideas.(1)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 th

20、is effort. When a teacher is unsure about the pronunciation of certain 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

21、a lecture on hung trees. I had never heard about that kind of tree before. 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!“ Thi

22、s example of miscommunication points out the necessity for student participation in the international teachers classroom.(2)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 c

23、an be corrected before they interfere with student learning. Of course, some 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.(3)When students dont understand, it could be a language pr

24、oblem, but it also could be that the teacher doesnt have good teaching skills. So 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 alr

25、eady know, when lecturing, it is important to clearly state each point before speaking about it, make the point and then summarize what has been said. (4)Before beginning another idea or point, its necessary to inform students of this change or transition. (5)Students are reluctant to continually as

26、k teachers to repeat what theyve said, even when they havent completely understood the teacher. 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

27、 to another topic.(6)Another method often used by both international and 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.

28、 So they may pick it up the way they want during the many times I say it 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

29、 it one time, its not enough, so repeating it several ways from different 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 bei

30、ng explained, only in a different way. Common phrases used to indicate that 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 s

31、ame idea can be explained in this way.“ * “Another example of this is.“ * “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 t

32、o ensure adequate communication. Many effective teachers learn to elicit the help of their students.(7)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 describ

33、ed how he uses certain teaching methods to be sure his students understand him. “Ive been trying hard to be clear, to say the words separate so that students can understand.(8)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.

34、 Anytime they want they can stop me and say, I didnt get that point. 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.“ (9)Getting students to participate in the class by being fr

35、iendly and supportive of their comments, ideas, and questions can help both the teacher and the students feel more comfortable in the classroom.(10)When students feel comfortable enough to participate in class, they may be more tolerant of the teachers language difficulties and be willing to coopera

36、te with the teacher in solving communication problems. Today, weve 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 internati

37、onal teachers classroom, you can take action to minimize these problems. I hope you would have a good time. 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 theoretical concepts 【试题解析】 本题设题点在并列关系处。 根据句 (1)可知，老师在提到术语或者理论性的观点时，把它们写在黑板上会对学生大有帮助，所以与 technical terms并列的是 theoretical concepts，故答案为 theoretical concepts。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答

Would you like to join me for a drink? W: OK, thanks. M: Any news recently? W: Oh, well, yesterday I read the n

44、ewspaper and got very shocking news. You know,(1)its not the federal government that sets the calendar for our public schools. Public school calendars 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

45、 year-round with shorter breaks throughout, offering about 20 additional school days. M: The students must feel very sad when hearing this news. W: Yeah, I think so. And this idea is gaining increasing popularity. Its a strategy school districts across the country are experimenting with. Perhaps the

46、 most closely watched is in Massachusetts, which has extended class time for 26 of its low-performing schools. The idea has even won the endorsement of both President Obama and his education chief. M: Mm.,(2)I heard that the education chief said in an interview that our current school calendar was b
