Don’t be afraid of changes
So
the seating arrangement doesn’t work? Change
it. Use actions and simple words to let
students understand what you want. Demonstrate it first; of course, and then
show them what your intension is.
Physically help them move so they understand. Always say thank you when
they listen. When students are not listening during whole group instruction
time, change their carpet seating arrangement right away.
座位安排有问题?马上换。用简单的词汇和动作来让学生了解你的意思。示范一下动作,让他们知道你要他们跟着做什么。实际上帮他们搬移座位上的东西也可以让他们了解。记得说谢谢。如果学生在地毯讲课区吵闹说话,马上换。让他们知道每一个行为都会有特定的结果。
Take lining up as an example. Give clear directions. Count to three; a quiet line should form. If it doesn’t happen the first time, ask the students
to come back and do it again. Keep doing
it until a quiet line is formed. There
will be students who are obedient and know how to be quiet. Walk up to them and
say “thank you for being quiet.” Ask the whole class to go back and form the
line again. Pretty soon, the children will understand that you are expecting a
quiet line and nothing else. They will start reminding each other so they don’t
have to repeat this action too many times.
拿排队做例子。清楚说明要学生安静迅速的排队,数到3
然后看这队伍是否安静。不安静?回去再排一次,再一次,再一次,直到队伍安静为止。不用大声说话,只要轻声跟听话的学生道谢,然后要全部的学生继续努力排队。很快的,学生就会知道并提醒彼此安静排队,免得要再多跑几次。
Good
learning habits need to be created and practiced so a teacher’s can be effective. When fostering good habits, don’t worry about
spending time on it because language will be reinforced and behavior will be molded.
Henceforth, teaching will happen.
好的学习习惯需要被创造也需要持续练习,如此老师的教导才会有效果。养成好的 学习习惯时,不要在乎花费的时间因为语言也会被学习到,好习惯养成后,教书的工作才可以真正开始。
