顧問
今天的顧問很有耐心,雖然有的同學回答問題都是虛晃一招,答了等於沒答,她還是滿用心地引導。
教單字的時候會用不同方式引導,讓學生有機會透過不同角度思考單字,例如:請學生舉同義詞、造句、舉不同類型的例子。
我也是透過顧問的提問,發現自己平時對ceremony這個詞的想像很單一。
(顧問、老師有時候不須是程度最好的,但引導學生思考的能力非常重要。)
同儕
我沒有做程度分析,自己選程度上課,結果第一堂課覺得同儕程度不如預期。
不過今天討論的主題是日本旅遊,沒去過日本的我剛好遇到去過日本好幾次的同學,覺得很有趣。
還有一個同學要說小甜甜布蘭妮的Britney,可是老師從他的發音無法辨識,所以他就直接唱「Like a virgin🎶」來表示,我忍不住關著麥克風大笑。
教材
會出現這堂課應該是因為選了旅遊和國家文化相關的主題,沒想到第一堂就是我沒那麼熟悉的日本。
雖然相對而言不是我那麼有主動興趣的地區,卻也因為這樣半強迫接觸自己平常不會主動接觸的題材。
這堂課跳出來的單字對我來說偏簡單,不過其中有一些詞的用法是我沒有接觸過的,而且並非內文全部的單字我都認識,所以難易度還可接受。
