Do you know Doraemon? Doraemon has a very special pocket which offers all kinds of magic tools if necessary. Today's seminar is like the magic pocket of Doraemon where fantastic teaching ideas keep popping out!

 It is very surprising to know that today's sharing focus on the same topic: cooperative learning. Richard begins by giving a short but clear idea about what cooperative leering is, why to adopt cooperative learning, and how to practice cooperative learning with the comparison of pros and cons of a traditional lecturing class.

    Normally, students will be given lots of tests before the midterm or final exam. However, via cooperative learning, Ms. Zhu transfer the stress and pressure into easy and interesting activities for reviewing. Who says only paper and pencil tests can help increasing conversance?

    After the exam, scores will tell the teacher how much his or her students have learned, and that's why Ms. Li has her students grouped into 3咖: A咖 (fast learners),B 咖 (average learners), and C咖 (slow learners). The way to do so is to reinforce peer support. Let A咖 teach C咖, B咖 help B咖 and make learning more active and positive.

    The exam or test itself can be different, too. Teachers from Dayeh Junior High School group students heterogeneously; therefore, the design of handouts, homework, and exams will fit different learning levels. Furthermore, adding integrated skills with cooperative learning is a very good way to practice teaching and learning much more effectively.

    Ms. Du holds the English interview which offers the chance for students not only to practice basic 4 skills, but also to be socially behaved. From how to speak precisely to how to wear properly, English is no longer a subject for learning, but a tool for students to promote themselves.

    Overall, the change of the way to teach and learn English is mainly to help students get involved and become active learners. Ms. Li from Li Ming Junior High School encourages students to express what they think by adopting brainstorming for vocabulary learning, running dictation for reading essays in the course book,...etc. It is very important to unblock students' thoughts even sometimes they might gone a little bit too far, but what bothers. Falling in love with English should be preferential!

Feedback:

How much passion do you still have after 5- year teaching or even 20- year teaching? How necessarily do you want to adjust your teaching routine? After today's seminar, most of the teachers feel alive again. Why not have the students run around the classroom to reorder the reading essays in the course book? Why not have the students help each other and make "peer pressure" more positive? A little change might overturn the atmosphere of a traditional class and motivate those who always play dead in your class.
