Why I gave this lesson in this special way?

• Firstly, This lesson cannot be considered as a
  normal complete lesson.
• I intend to show you all my thoughts about the
  English language teaching to senior high students
  and to show you may ways to encourage and get my
  students involved in different activities.
  Because I believe that only by these activities
  and chances to practice using the language can
  make my students achieve better results.

21
Questions

• Id like to invite all the teachers here to think
  about these questions
• Why do your students make the same mistakes that
  youve explained several times?
• Why couldnt some of your students write correct
  sentences in their compositions?

22
The essence of senior English courses

• Teachers have responsibilities to provide
  students with enough chances to practice using
  the English language in junior English courses.
• Language acquisition input practice output
• Johns lesson focus on all these three aspects.

23
Difficulties for students in learning grammar

• Sometimes, it is difficult for students to
  understand grammatical rules.
• Very often, students meet new words because of
  the teaching materials. So it is really
  difficult for students to balance their mind on
  grammatical items and new words and phrases.
• I try to use the materials this book has provided
  for teachers and students to have students
  practice the language.

24
The framework of this lesson

• Free talk
• Reading and answering questions (related to
  grammatical items)
• Different ways to practice the items
• Drawing conclusion
• Translation practice
• Further practice (related to the topic)

25
Free talk

• Good morning, everyone! Our topic today is
  Pleasant smells reduce pain, which is in Unit 1,
  the world of our senses. So when you see this
  title, what do you think? Whats your opinion?
• Senior English courses should also provide
  students with enough chances to form the habit of
  thinking after they see something and read
  something.

26

• I think pleasant smells reduce pain. What does
  he think? (He thinks that pleasant smells reduce
  pain.) Do you think so? Do you believe it? Do
  you believe it is a fact? What does he believe?
  (He believes the fact that pleasant smells reduce
  pain.) OK. Next time, when you have to have an
  operation, you will just tell the doctor to give
  you something pleasant (some flowers, e.g.) to
  smell. You sniff and say to the doctor, now
  please give me the operation. Right? So Whether
  pleasant smells reduce pain should be proved.
  But how to prove that it is a fact? (To do an
  experiment and collect data / analyze the result.)

27
Thinking about different answers given by students

• Im thinking about / wondering whether it is
  true. OK. You are questioning. What does he
  think of the sentence? (He doubts whether
  pleasant smells reduce pain.)

Conclusion

• When evaluating a lesson, we do not focus on how
  well the teacher performs. Instead, we put
  emphasis on the behaviors of students. What do
  they do in class, how do they develop their
  skills and language abilities.
• For teachers, it is really important to know what
  to teach, why to teach it before he or she
  considers how to give students the lesson.

35

• In short, we should try to provide our students
  with enough chances to practice using the
  language in our courses.
