English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天弋果新鮮事要討論的是: 教英文時常犯的一些錯誤。 Today we'll be discussing teaching and some of the biggest mistakes we make when we teach students English. Here are some of them which we can hopefully try and avoid:

● Failing to make children use their imaginations 不讓孩子發揮他們的想像力
● Failing to build relationships with children 沒有跟孩子建立良好的關係
● Using Chinese in class 在課堂中用中文
● Interrupt someone when they are trying 學生在想的時候打斷他的思緒
● Only using reading and writing as tools 只以讀寫為學習工具
● Failing to use English practically 沒有學習實用的英文
● Not setting routines 沒有養成學習程序或習慣
