Chapter 24 Classes Officially Commenced

The next morning, Xu Yiyang's oral training class officially started.

In the early morning, the electric classroom was full of people, and a group of half-grown children filled the entire electric classroom one after another.

Many parents of the students were standing in the hallway, and the two small glass windows were already full of people.

Xu Yiyang's parents and sister were curious about how he taught the students, so they also followed, and they were also standing outside the window at the moment.

In front of Xu Yiyang, there was the courseware that was sorted out last night.

Today is the first class for all classes.

He is not going to talk too much about the knowledge points in the first class, but is ready to use the first class to fully mobilize the students' enthusiasm for learning oral English.

The first elementary class to be taught is a group of children between the ages of ten and twelve, mainly because the six-year primary school in Yingzhou starts learning English from the fifth grade, so the students in the primary class are all elementary school students in grades five and six.

Children around the age of 10 are at the age of the most energetic and lack of organization and discipline, and they are not as easy to discipline as junior high school and high school students as a whole.

However, in Xu Yiyang's view, the comparison of primary school students, junior high school students, and high school students is actually very balanced.

Just like the three professions of warrior, mage, and Taoist in the legend.

Although the overall discipline of primary school students will be relatively poor, their sense of resistance and destruction is not strong;

Although the overall discipline of junior high school students and high school students is a little higher, their self-awareness is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not easy to obey a person or a group from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, it is also prone to the emergence of a small number of people with a strong sense of resistance and destruction.

At this time, the classroom was very noisy, so Xu Yiyang turned on the microphone and said into the microphone: "Please be quiet, students, we are going to class." ”

The most teacher-friendly thing about the electric classroom is the speaker system, and the teacher's voice is amplified by a microphone, which has an overwhelming advantage over the noise emitted by the students.

Xu Yiyang thought that these children still needed some time to calm down slowly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the whole classroom was suddenly silent.

This group of children sat in their seats one by one, looking at Xu Yiyang's eyes, there was curiosity, awe, and worship.

Xu Yiyang suddenly realized that he was different from other training class teachers, he had been on TV, and he had an idol halo in front of these children.

Then, he asked with a smile, "Before the official class, I want to ask you a question, do you know what you are going to learn today?"

"Learn English!"

The children below answered in unison.

Xu Yiyang nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Do you know what we learn English for?"

The children in the audience gave different answers, some said it was for talking to foreigners, some said it was for going abroad, and some said it was for exams.

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly, and said in a very serious tone: "We learn English in order to better connect with the world, our country is now developing rapidly, and there is more and more cooperation with other countries, the future will need a large number of talents proficient in English, you learn English now, is to lay a good foundation for the future development of the country, understand?"

"Got it!"

Although the children didn't understand Xu Yiyang's words, they suddenly felt a sense of lofty mission in their hearts.

When I was doing training in my last life, Gu Sijia once concluded: The best and most effective way to teach children is to let them have a strong sense of mission first.

Xu Yiyang asked again: "Then do you know which part of English we want to learn?"

"Learn to speak!"

As we all know, I came to the oral assault class, so naturally I mainly learned oral Chinese.

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "Very good, since everyone knows that learning spoken Chinese, then the first thing I want to emphasize with you is a few key points for learning spoken English." ”

With that, he turned around and wrote down three key points on the blackboard:

1. Dare to speak;

2. Be able to speak;

3. Say yes.

Subsequently, Xu Yiyang explained: "Dare to speak is to let everyone dare to speak, English is a language, if you don't say it, you will lose the greatest meaning of learning it." Therefore, in our speaking class, please be sure to speak boldly. ”

"To be able to speak is to let everyone learn the grammar and context of English, as well as the use of sentences and words, and know how to say a sentence in English;"

"It's good to let everyone have the correct English pronunciation, if the pronunciation is not standard, it will be difficult for others to understand what you are saying. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yiyang said again: "Let me give you an analogy, we usually watch TV, and when those foreigners on TV say our Chinese, the pronunciation is very strange, right?"

"Yes!" the children replied in unison.

Xu Yiyang smiled: "I'll imitate it for everyone." ”

As he spoke, he imitated the tone of a foreigner who said Chinese, and said: "Hey, hit the family, nest the feet, and make the hard nuts ......."

A group of half-grown children immediately burst out laughing when they heard the vividness of his imitation, and many parents of the students listened to the clear amplification outside, and they couldn't help laughing.

After the children laughed, Xu Yiyang said seriously: "Actually, what this foreigner said was 'Hello everyone, my name is Jack, and I am an Englishman'." However, because his spoken Chinese is not standard, we all sound not only awkward, but also may not be able to understand what he is saying, so he makes jokes, which is the disadvantage of bad spoken English. ”

After a pause, Xu Yiyang said: "If you don't speak English well, then the foreigner sounds the same as the foreigner I just imitated, and in this way, you will also make jokes, we are all flowers of the motherland, how can we let those foreigners laugh at us? We have to make them convince us and praise us, everyone is right?"

"Yes!"

This time, the children's enthusiasm was at an all-time high.

Xu Yiyang said again: "Everyone should know about the mountains, right? It is the foreigner who speaks Chinese very well. ”

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

In this era, Dashan was very well-known in the country, and almost everyone knew about it, and it can be said that he was the most famous foreigner, and there was no one.

The reason why it is so famous is because Chinese is very good.

Xu Yiyang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Dashan speaks Chinese very well, so more than a billion people in our country know him, if everyone speaks English well enough, then when they go abroad in the future, it is likely to be Dashan in the eyes of foreigners." ”

This remark immediately gave the children a strong expectation.

Xu Yiyang saw that the warm-up was almost done, so he asked with a smile: "Everyone has learned some basic English in school, I believe everyone should use English to make the most basic self-introduction, right?"

When they heard that they were going to introduce themselves, the children became shy.

Xu Yiyang understands this feeling very well, he was also a particularly shy and introverted person when he was in school, he didn't like to talk, and what he was most afraid of was that the teacher would let him introduce himself.

As soon as he introduced himself in public, he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, even when he went to college, he would be nervous when he introduced himself in class.

However, learning spoken English is to break this shyness and introversion, if you don't dare to speak when you see people, it is impossible to practice speaking well, even if you practice speaking well, it is useless not to dare to speak.

So he smiled very casually and said: "Okay, start with me, I'll introduce myself to you first, everyone pay attention to my pronunciation, and when everyone introduces themselves, try to follow my pronunciation, okay?"

As soon as they heard that the teacher did it first, the children were also relieved and nodded their heads and said yes.

Xu Yiyang spoke slowly and clearly in the simplest English: "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Yiyang, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Since many of the fifth-grade children have only studied for half a semester, they have only learned the alphabet and a little bit of the most basic English words, and they have not even touched the whole sentence, so Xu Yiyang wrote all the words he said on the blackboard.

Then patiently explained the sentence to them, and then said: "Okay, let's try to read it with me first, remember to be slow, clear, and find the right pronunciation." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiyang read it aloud to everyone in standard pronunciation.

The children below also read it to him, but when he looked closely, he found that many of the children only opened their mouths and did not make a sound, and even some children were bald as soon as they opened their mouths, completely mixed up with the indiscriminate refill.

So he said, "I don't think everyone seems to be confident enough, come, let's stand up in a row, and the students in the first row should stand up first." ”

If you let a person get up, he may not dare to speak in front of everyone, but if you let a small group of people together, it will be a little less stressful for everyone.

The eight elementary school students in the first row stood up, and Xu Yiyang led them to read aloud again.

When the number of people drops sharply, it's easier to focus on the problem.

In this group, there are three children who do not make a sound, and two children who are confused, and they may not know what they are reading.

So Xu Yiyang specially selected the three children who didn't speak and said, "Come, these three classmates follow me and read it again." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiyang slowed down a little more so that the three children could hear more clearly.

When it was the turn of the three of them, the three children did not dare to say no more, so they all tried to read it out of their mouths.

Because the sentence was originally very basic, and Xu Yiyang demonstrated it several times, they could all say anything, but their voices were a little small, and it seemed that they still couldn't let go.

After Xu Yiyang finished speaking, he immediately applauded and said: "Very good words, great performance! But I believe that you will be able to be a little louder! Otherwise, when the children representing our country communicate with foreigners in the future, they may not be able to hear what you are saying.

Children themselves are an easily inspired group.

After the applause, Xu Yiyang gave them a reading demonstration again, so the voices of the three children were obviously much louder, and the accuracy of pronunciation was further improved.

Xu Yiyang repeated his old tricks, and took other students to continue to encourage them and let them speak louder.

By this time, they had already spoken loudly and accurately, and the previous shyness and nervousness were thrown out of the sky by them in this warm atmosphere.

After a few simple back and forth, these three children, who had never dared to speak English, were taken to the road by Xu Yiyang, and the other children were also greatly encouraged.

When they found out that reading English was not as scary as they imagined, and that there was nothing wrong with them, they were also very excited.

The parents of the three children outside the window were also pleased, and one of them sighed: "My son, who usually twitters is a chatterbox, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak English, he immediately fell silent, and he opened his mouth silently, but he didn't expect to dare to speak today, this little teacher Xu's teaching methods are really extraordinary!"

Children are afraid to speak English, and they are aware of it.

But in school, the teacher's main task and energy is on the textbook outline.

Speaking is not an important part of the syllabus, and it is a part of the exam that cannot be quantitatively assessed, so it is difficult for teachers to pay attention to how well each student speaks, and even if they pay attention to problems, it is difficult to have enough energy to help them correct them.

Xu Yiyang is different, he teaches oral Chinese, so he directly abandons the school syllabus and starts directly from oral language, it is easy to find students' problems and guide them to solve them little by little.

All of a sudden, it can have an immediate effect.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Yishan were listening to Xu Yiyang's lecture outside, and when they heard the words of the student's parents, their hearts were full of pride.

At this time, Xu Yishan suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd, she hurriedly beckoned to the other party, and said in surprise: "Sister Lele, why are you here!"
