Teaching
Statement
As
a foreign language educator, I want to be someone who is going
to share the
knowledge of Chinese at
the same time polish my quality of teaching. There are
four
areas that I value the most and will apply them into
my teaching career. First
is to set clear goals to conduct
student learning. To carry out knowledge with the
students is important, however, to help the students to apply
their new found
knowledge in the future situation
is something greater to achieve. Perhaps
resourceful lesson
plans, help the students think for themselves, and
be flexible
for each student's individual needs are something
that I want to carry out in my
teaching career.
Second, classroom management is important, because it will
help
me to create an environment that promotes
safety and fairness. Establishing
and maintaining consistent
standards of classroom manner are setting a positive
tone in the classroom also it will help me to setablishing and
maintaining good
rapport with students. Third, I will
set goals for the class as whole but also set
goals for
individual and have good interaction with them. Confucius
was one of
our gretest teachers in Chinese history, and he
believed that
因材施教
(yin cai
shi jiao, which means
to teach students in accordance with their aptitude) is one
of
the keys of great teaching. This idea is very
much close to Howard Gardner's
Multiple Intelligence theory.
Their ideas both have influences eith my career goal,
which is to be more sensitive to different students' needs in
learning. Last but not
least, other areas like community
and culture are also important parts of learning
a different
language. Making connection with the local community
should be a part
of the source to student learning. Also
building relationships with colleagues and
parents will help
me to grow professionally, and parents' involvement will
encourage
the parents to have interaction with me and with
the students. |
