前言
classes based upon the students grades in all subjects(which this teacher does not endorse). Imagine this scenario:You are finally boarding your flight to China with about thirteen hours of flying time ahead of you before landing at your destination. As you settle down in your seat,waiting for the drinks to come down the aisle,you start wondering again what in the world teaching English in China will be like,anyway?Youre struggling with how you11 approach this new teaching job when you begin your classes. A hundred questions form in your mind,and your anxiety level begins to rise. Suddenly the man sitting next to you strikes up a conversation about the weather and other small talk. Then he tells you that he lives in China,has been working as a teacher there for seven years,and really loves it!He is now returning to teach at a University in Chengdu. You can hardly believe your ears!Here is a teacher who has been teaching English in China sitting right beside you. You have a captive source of information for the long flight over the Pacific Ocean!You dont want to scare him,So you very casually tell him youre going to China for your first time as a teacher,and you have no idea how you will approach this new job. Being the dedicated teacher he is,he offers to answer any questions you have. Now,pretend these events have happened to you,and that I am that man sitting next to you. By the time you land in China,you will feel a lot better about your new job. So,buckle up your seat belt,settle back,and relax as I try to answer all of the major questions you may have. And,by the way,what we11 be talking about will help new Chinese teachers of English as well. When one undertakes to write a manual,small or large,it usually indicates that the writer wants to share information that he feels i8 not out there for the people who need it. Such a manual should provide special information thats needed but not available in one source.

章節(jié)摘錄
Proponents of this method argue that by lumping students of similar skill-levels together,you can be more effective in teaching and raising the students skills. This method of class arrangement has its advantages. The main advantage is being able to teach those high comprehenders on their level and take them to higher levels of comprehension. The second method used is to randomly assign students to classes with no consideration of their English comprehension. This also has its advantages. In this ease the teacher has high comprehenders mixed in with low comprehenders and can use the more proficient students to help the lower achievers as we have mentioned in regard to class seating. High comprehenders can be seated in the class in such a way that they can assist the teacher in helping the Lets Both of these methods have their advantages. However,as I mentioned,I do not believein placing students based upon their overall grade point average. This method does not identify the students and doesnt give you the kind of information that you will need to devise your teaching strategy. A student with a low gradein physics may have a very high comprehension level,but because of his lack of competence in physics,he will not be placed in an HC English class but more probablv will find himself placed in a lower class. Basing class rosters on overall grade points across the curriculum ends up creating classes with mixed levels of comDrehension and does not achieve the aim of sorting students appropriately. Mv preferenee is the random class arrangement.I have found that high achievers can really help the teacher and the while at the same time benefiting from taking a role of increased responsibility in class and becoming an authority in English.Working closely with the teacher as an assistant is a great educational exDerience for the student tutor,but this method is not the best for some teachers who may choose not to integrate student helpers into the organization of the class.The important thing is that we are each effective in bringing our studentslevel of English language skills up.
