My own teaching experience
Su Xue-jun Sept. 2014
My honorable judges, and fellow teachers,
Good morning , everyone. I’m Su xue-jun. It’s my great honor to be here and I’m very happy to see you all. What I’m going to talk about today is something about my own teaching experience.
I have been on the position of an English teacher for more than twenty years. As we can imagine, being a teacher is hard and being a teacher who teaches English in the rural area in China is even harder. But I don’t regret for my choice at all. And I must tell you how honored and grateful I am for being a teacher.
As we all know, being a good English teacher requires many qualities. Firstly, a good English teacher must learn how to love his students and how to guide his students to better understand the world through English learning .Moreover,being patient with the students who have made some mistakes, showing enthusiasm in class and humorously talking with them are also crucial for teaching. Probably, in this way,we’ll build up a harmonious English learning environment in which students can learn to learn with high motivation and great expectation. This is how I show my care and love to my students in my teaching.I still remember even today,
many years after my students’ being admitted to college, when they come back to their alma mater for a visit to me, quite often ,they’ll greet me first with ‘Love me, love my English ’, which is a pet phrase of mine used to encourage my students to carry on with their English learning. Secondly, teaching skills also play a key role in a teacher. We have to constantly update our knowledge and recharge ourselves like what we are doing here these days to maintain our professional competence , which, I believe, we all teachers are quite aware of. Apart from it what I especially want to say is that teaching English is more than teaching the language itself. Please do not ignore the richness of the English culture, which can often arose the students’ interest in English . Naturally, in order to acquire this capability, we need to think more, read more and do more research in teaching to meet our students’ demands . Here, I’d like to share another example of my teaching with you. Well, when I taught a lesson of advertisement in senior high, I brought in some typical heart-felt advertisements from wold-famous products.
‘Another day, another way ’,which is for Mercedes-Benz. ‘Don’t say show me another,but say show me Brother’, which advertises for a typewriter. While teaching a lesson of English Humour , I told my students an English equivalence for a Chinese public sign in the Men’s rest room to further understand the meaning of a pun in English. That is,
‘We aim to please you, you aim too ,please.’On hearing it , the whole class immediately were buried in laughter. That is why interest teaches all, I suppose. Thirdly, a good teacher should have the awareness of teamship , without which we would not reach our goals, letting alone our dreams. Fellow teachers, I dare not say I am experienced though I have been teaching for more than twenty years. I’m still green for teaching because the more I teach, the more I fear. I know the duties of teacher are too much for a man like me.Fortunately , I am not alone, I teach with my team.
Dear Judges and fellow teachers, in my short speech I can not tell you all the things that I believe we teachers should do. If I do, it will not be experience of a teacher but planks of empty words. It is not surprising, either, that even today here in this room--- all cannot agree.But it is possible to have different ideas on teaching without forgetting our common wish--- to teach English well. To teach English well, as Steven Jobs once put it, ‘Stay foolish, stay hungry ’ !
Thanks for your listening!。
