Chapter 49: Interesting Questions
As soon as Jingzhi's words fell, a young girl sitting next to the American retorted: "But, after all, we are teachers, and we are the leaders of the whole class.
In my opinion, we should still control the overall situation at all times and be a teacher who guides students to learn knowledge at all times.
Personally, I think it would be better. ”
This young girl was dressed in *** costume, wearing a light pink headscarf on her head, covering her hair tightly; Her eyes were deep, and her eyelashes stood elegantly like the tail of a peacock when it opened the screen, and there was a strange charm from her brown eyes.
Before Jingzhi could speak, a girl sitting across from her spoke first.
The girl had long reddish-brown shawl hair.
Speaking in an authentic London accent, she tactfully expressed her point of view, saying, "We are the ones who dominate the class.
It's not much of a chance that students will be able to control the big picture.
However, we also need to take into account that we try not to resort to cramming teaching methods.
We need to consider the students' own feelings.
I think we need to keep interacting with the students at all times.
In this way, we can identify the problems of the students at any time, as well as our own problems in a timely manner. ”
For a while, several people sitting together sat quietly in their seats, thinking seriously, and none of them expressed their opinions.
Half a minute later, a male voice reached Jingzhi's ears.
"How about we discuss the next question?" Jingzhi turned her face and found that it was none other than the "polite scholar" who spoke.
He speaks English very fluently and pronounces it in the American style.
At this time, Jingzhi noticed that there were a total of five people sitting around this small round table, only one of the "scholars" was a man, and the others were all girls.
“OK!” Jingzhi agreed, "Please tell me your point of view first!" ”
It's a question about how teaching assistants should communicate with students: how do we ensure effective communication with students?
"Scholar" said slowly, "I think we should give the students our contact information: email and office phone numbers.
This ensures that we can be contacted in a timely manner if a student has any questions.
Of course, as teaching assistants, we need to respond to students' emails in a timely manner.
If a student wants to ask a question in person, we can bring him into our office.
Face-to-face communication may be more effective. ”
The "scholar" is both logical and reasonable, as if he were giving a "speech".
The girls sitting around the round table listened intently.
After the "scholar" finished his opinion, the others nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the "scholars" suggested that they discuss the next issue together.
Soon, everyone began to take turns speaking.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the classroom was quiet again.
The lecturer asked everyone to start talking about the first question.
All the girls sitting at the next table raised their hands to speak.
Among them, two Arab girls who looked slightly older were the most active.
The lecturer was very happy to see everyone speaking so actively.
She sped up her speech, spitting out long compound sentences after long compound sentences from her mouth.
Jingzhi had to prick up a pair of ears, concentrate all her energy, and dare not wander for half a second, in order to barely keep up with the lecturer's fast pace of speaking.
At this moment, Jingzhi is really glad that she has accumulated enough English vocabulary to allow her to smoothly receive the information that the lecturer is conveying.
When the first set of questions was discussed and the lecturer had just finished summarizing, a person sitting in the corner suddenly asked a question.
It was a tall woman with dark hair, big eyes, and a pair of golden studs on her ears.
From her wheat-colored skin and black hair, it is not difficult to tell that she has yellow blood.
The moment she spoke, Jingzhi guessed that she was probably from India.
She timidly asked, "What should I do if a student raises his hand to ask a question during my class, but I can't answer it for the time being, or I can't answer it at all?" ”
Her question aroused the interest of everyone present.
Everyone lowered their heads and thought about how to solve such a problem.
"That's a very good question!" The lecturer praised, "Who has a solution?" Let's share our opinions! ”
The high-pitched American sitting across from Jingzhi was the first to speak: "Just say to the student, 'I'm sorry, I haven't thought of how to answer this question right now; I'll tell you when I go back and think about it. ’”
"It's a solution." The lecturer nodded and said, "Are there any other solutions?" ”
"In that case...... Will the students ...... Think teaching assistants are incompetent? The Englishman, who was seated at the same table, asked implicitly.
"There's no way around that, I don't know, I don't know." The *** girl who sat at the same table as Jingzhi explained, "I would suggest that the student who asked the question ask another teaching assistant, or a professor in a related field. ”
"Well, that's a good solution too." The lecturer nodded and said, "If we can't solve the problems raised by the students for the time being, we still have to find a way to help the students as soon as possible."
It would be a good idea to advise him to seek help from others! ”
"The class lasts only a few dozen minutes," said an English girl sitting at the other table, "and in order to ensure the normal progress of the class, I can only finish the plan first."
I will wait until after class to explain the questions raised by the students in class. ”
"There is some truth to that," the lecturer concluded, "and sometimes one student asks a question that the other students may not be interested in.
If it is not very related to the content of the lesson, it is true that you can explain it to the students individually after the class. ”
At this time, Jingzhi also participated in everyone's discussion.
She thought about it for a long time before she came up with these two sentences: "If a student suddenly asks a question during my class and I can't solve it immediately, I will immediately tell that student that I can't answer his question for the time being."
After class, I would talk to him individually to see how I could help him solve that problem. ”
"If we don't address a student's question in a timely manner, will the student feel that we are incompetent? Will this reduce our prestige in the minds of our students? A Korean girl sitting at another table with delicate makeup asked excitedly.
At this time, the "scholar" finally couldn't help it, began to speak, and said patiently: "If I still can't give an answer after class, I can only honestly tell the students that I am not capable of answering this question for the time being."
After all, one's knowledge is limited, and there is nothing to be ashamed of in that.
After class, I will try to find a reasonable answer to the question as soon as possible, and then send an email to the student to tell him the answer to the question.
If I find that I can't find the right answer on my own in a short period of time, I can only suggest that he ask other teaching assistants, or professors in a certain field. ”
