chinese.
haha.. de tv's beside me now n they are showin this informative show or watever its called lah.. oh.. 十分头条 then this episode's abt foreign workers hu are bullied.. then this social worker called 'fan bo han' was interviewed.. his eyes are so damn huge.. to add up to it, he doesnt blink!! haha.. was starin at de tv screen waitin for him to blink.. but he doesnt!! strange guy.. or perhaps he is too nervous to blink already.. n somehow he looks like someone i noe..
haha.. so today i was watchin 有话就说.. n today's topic is abt learnin chinese in schs.. so they were like discussin whether it is de method of teachin tat will affect u or de teacher alone tat will affect ur willingness to learn chinese.. of course i got a lot of things to say lah!!
methods tat put students off:
1. 习字
this is one necesssary evil.. 习字 helps.. but it juz suck.. so how?
2. lookin at powerpoint slides of chinese words..
haiz.. i dun think powerpoint work for chinese.. really..
3. 课本
some passages are nice.. but some.....
seriously i think de teacher affects too..
a chinese teacher must at least:
1. Know his/her stuffs
first.. if my chinese teacher dun even noe basic chinese stuffs i immediately switch off le.. i mean.. u dunno wat im gonna learn then how u teach me? so if a teacher really noe his/her stuffs it really impresses de students to want to learn.. dun juz read off straight from some vocab bk/dictionary/website.. it will only juz mean u dunno ur stuffs..
2. Dun speak other languages other than chinese durin lesson.
speakin other languages other than chinese juz wont motivate de students to.. i mean its de only time we get to speak chinese durin lesson then why dun make full use of it?
3. Dun be a frog-in-de-well.
chinese teacher=out.. haha.. but face de truth.. very often we will think this way one.. so why dun chinese teachers update themselves more often.. knowin what is 5566 is not enough.. at least noe wat they do!!
4. bonus: speak decent english language too..
dun shake ur head hoh.. but seriously u must hav once been put off by chinese teachers' lousy english right?
5. bonus: be either an enigma or make urself belong to de bunch of students u are teachin
somehow enigmas will produce gd students.. i wonder why.. if u cant be one.. then at least make de students feel tat u 照 de students.. how to explain this.. somehow like a gang-boss will 照 their brothers.. last time in sec sch i used to hav this teacher hu will really 照 us.. so of course we respect him..
6. return homework in time..
accordin to reliable sources (me n my friends) chinese teachers are de teachers hu take de longest time to return assignments.. be it comprehension or compo.. it sometime takes up to half a yr for a chinese teacher to return a homework.. haiz..
7.last but not least
of course is de gd old 热忱
in de mean time.. even if u hate chinese.. support 元卫觉醒.. :)
