走近高效、高能的英语外教课堂

　　Many parents are overwhelmed by a series of questions relating to their children’s education during the transitional period from primary school to middle school. What subjects will they learn? What kinds of abilities will help them improve their Chinese, Math or English? How should they prepare for arts in High School Entrance Examination? In order to make the transition easier for the students, both in daily life and in academics, Clifford School started a special program for sixth graders to experience life in middle school so that they can have a head start.

　　在小升初进程中，更多家长知道到小学和初中有很大差异，教育类别有哪些改变？语文需要注重那些方面的前进？数学本质如何培育？英语归纳才能如何在铢积寸累中前进？艺术类课程如何非常好应对中考？学业水平考试类类别如何愈加高效学习…….一系列疑问迎面而来，疫情防控面临关闭打点的学校，如何协助孩子们顺畅度过习气期，真实做好专业联接、脱颖而“初“，祈福英语实验学校中学为本校六年级孩子倾力打造”探秘课堂“领会活动，让孩子们在初中真实感触一次中学日子。

　　The following introduction will give you a glimpse of what the students have learned and explored in western teachers’ classes.

　　今日，咱们就跟跟着外教教师，一同走进高效、高能的英语外教课堂。

　　In science the students learned about space, Mars, and how to grow plants hydroponically as well as carried out experiments growing potatoes.

　　在科学课上，同学们尽情探究太空、火星，学习如何用水培法栽培植物，并施行马铃薯栽培的实验。

　　

　　The English reading and listening activities tied into the topic of space. The primary focus of the activities was to test the student’s listening and reading skills. One of the listening activities was a listening dictation. Afterwards they read the article the dictation was from. After thoroughly understanding the article, they answered comprehension questions on the reading. They also did a listening exercise using a science video about the sun. The students had to answer questions while listening and watching the video.During the reading process, they focused on using context clues to find the meaning of new words. If there is a new word, there may be a definition right there in the sentence to explain what the word means! They focused on looking at the part of speech, asking “Is it a noun, a verb, or an adjective?” “Would the sentence make sense if we replaced the new word with this synonym?” Knowing a lot of words can allow students to understand better what they are reading and be able to read more.

　　英语阅览和听力课程紧紧环绕太空主题来设置。课程活动要点是查验学生的听力和阅览技能。以其间一个听写活动为例，学习进程如下：先听写，再精读听写的文章，接着结束阅览了解操练，然后经过观看与太阳有关的一个科普视频来操练听力，并答复疑问。阅览有些的要点是训练学生根据上下文猜测新单词的才能。新单词的意思一般会在句中有说明。教师会经过不断发问，比方“这是名词、动词仍是描述词？”“假定我用这个近义词替代这个词，这个语句意思还对吗？”，引导学生判别词性和词意。掌控许多的单词可以让学生非常好地了解他们阅览的材料，进而更多地去阅览。

　　

　　In the writing classes the students were first introduced to descriptive writing. They discussed what this method is and in what situations it would be used. After pointing out the importance of using adjectives and looking at examples, the students wrote a descriptive paragraph. After completing the task the students shared their paragraph with the class.

　　在写作课上，学习的第一个写作办法是描绘性写作。学生们先谈论这一办法是啥、何时用，然后根究运用描述词的重要性，并赏析有关比方，再写一段话描画事物，之后再和全班同学共享。

　　

　　Compare and contrast was the second method they focused on. The students were taught how to use a Venn diagram to plan before writing a compare and contrast paragraph. The students used the Venn diagram to compare and contrast two things of their choice, and then they swapped their diagrams with their classmates. After receiving a diagram the students had to write a compare and contrast paragraph according to the information they saw on the Venn diagram they had received.

　　比照与比照是同学们要点学习的第二个写作办法。学生们学会了如何在写作前用维恩图比照和比照两个目标。首要，学生们画出维恩图，比照他们选择的两个目标， 然后与同学交流。每位同学拿到其他同学画好的维恩图之后，根据其间的信息来写一段话。

　　

　　For the cause and effect assignment they had to draw a comic strip that showed cause and effect events. The students really enjoyed this assignment. Many of the students can draw very well and also have a great imagination. Some of the comics were amazing and very detailed and funny. The students were excited about coming up in front of the class and showing their work of art.

　　第三个写作办法是因果联络。学生们要创造一幅包括因果联络的故事的连环画。学生很喜爱这个活动。许多学生画得极好，很有愿望力。有些作品很冷傲，有细节有“笑”果。学生们也很积极地到台前展示他们的作品。

　　During Math class the students spent time learning about Geometry and Statistics. For Geometry they learned about multiple 2-dimensional shapes, many of their properties, and how they are named. Later the students made tangrams and moved the shapes around to make various objects. For statistics, they spent time looking at how to create various charts depending on different data. The class discussed how to gather data for these charts. The charts discussed were bar chart, histogram, pie chart, and line charts. For the final project, students spent time collecting data to a question they decided to have answered, then they made a chart to showcase the data they gathered.

　　在数学课上，同学们学习了几许和数据分析。几许的学习内容包括：多种二维图形及其性质和称号意义。同学们还制造七巧板，并拼制成不一样的物品(图7)。数据分析方面，学生首要学习如何搜集数据，并根据不一样的数据创建不一样的图表，比方柱状图，条形图，饼图，折线图。课程使命是要肄业生搜集对选定的某一个疑问的答复，然后据此数据，制成图表呈现出来。

　　

　　For drama, the students were introduced tosix founding principles of performing the English language: pronunciation, loudness, body language, eye contact, fluency and intonation. In order to assess their proficiency in using these skills, they had to do a three minute performance entirely in English. This was based on an extract from a story that we had previously read together in class. Students were put into groups of four and asked to dramatize their part of the story. The dramas were a real success anddemonstrated that the students had understood the principles and were able to incorporate them when they spoke the English language. For many of the students, drama was their favorite class.

　　在戏曲课上，同学们学习了英语言语体现力的六个根柢要素：发音、音量、肢体言语、目光交流、流利程度、语音语调等。为了衡量学生们对这些要素的掌控情况，他们需要结束一个三分钟的全英短剧扮演。短剧内容节选于课堂上集体阅览过的一个故事。学生们四人一组，扮演各自人物，用戏曲的方法将故事呈现出来。戏曲扮演非常红功。学生们能极好地了解六个根柢要素，并融汇贯穿地运用在言语表达中。戏曲课是许多学生最喜爱的课程。
