Many thanks for your suggestions: I told the boss my difficulties today. Iam the only one who teach first grade (GEPT) in that school. I explained everything to her, and she is really nice. Today, I encountered a tough problem, that is, how to explain "passive mood" Some students performed badly in the tests. Ex: He is thinks.....(one wrote this) They are not attentive and keep asking for "games" They think grammar is boring and difficult. What makes worst is that they refued any correction. .....!!! @@ I teach them an hour per day, five hours per week. I am just a part-time teacher, but I volunteer to stay longer. My purpose is to help them improve Engish. For their own good, I also carry their book home for correction. They do not appreciate what I do for them. It is not my responsibility, isn't it? Today, I taught them "past time" They said it is quite easy. But .... when I asked them to do one exercise, They gave me ..."He was watched TV" ...It is supposed to be "He was watching TV" Therefore, I used Chinese to explain "passive mood" Haha, I really ran out ideas ... At that moment, I had an impulse to quit my job. I can find something better. Why do I torture myself? Any living experience is of vital important for me. I believe I can learn something from my teaching, though it is unpleasant. ※ 引述《demonderrick (波士顿的秋天(美))》之铭言： : Hey there, : First of all, I have to admit that I am not a teacher just like you. : So, I couldn't say what is best nor what is worst. : However, I don't really agree the idea to teach grammar in Chinese. : Yes, it will be hard for both teacher and student at the beginning. : Take me as an example, when I first learned English in States. : I can barely understand what teacher was teaching.. : and it took me some serious time. : Once I get the idea of what teacher tried to teach.. : I was learning like fly. : Of course, one story doesn't go the other. : But this is what happened to me... : Again, it is to each of his own! : Oh!! BTW, for those foreigners who don't know how to teach grammar. : They are not good teachers!! All my teachers were good at it.. : I think we definitely need a system (certificate) : to ensure the quality of foreign teacher. : And this might be why I think Ko-Jen is still the top one in my mind. : Anywayz, I am just here to express my 2 cents opinion. : : Hello~~ : : I'm not a teacher. : : However, in my opinion, you can discuss this problem with your : : boss first, lenting him know what the difficulty is. : : To tell the truth, it's absolutely not easy to explain grammar in English. : : Even for the foreigner, it is not easy, either. : : It's because that the foreigner don't need grammar. : : You can surely keep trying explanation in English, but when the students are : : confused, you can re-explain in Chinese. Thereafter, I think they may : : understand better than before. : : Remember this: Never teach in Chinese without telling your boss, or you might : : lose your job. : : I hope my opinion may be helpful. : : Cheer up!!:) -- www.wretch.cc/album/liaohw2 --
