For my volunteer experience in Chinese school and tutoring experience, I applied the theoretical knowledge to practice. Whether it is watching other teachers teaching methods or teaching students by myself, my teaching skills are constantly improving by keep practicing and learning. Know how to interact with students and make them understand the knowledge.
I like to combine practice with teaching, after teaching the knowledge, use some exercises to check if students understand, and interact with students. I plan to use PowerPoint in class for more visible and clearer, according to the needs of students to make teaching methods and content.
Teaching method: (Example of teaching text) 1. Follow the order of "new words - grammar - text - expanding exercises" step by step. 2. Start with reviewing the grammar points of the old lesson and lead to the content of the new lesson. 3. Using directly visual and multimedia. 4. Design interactive activities. 5. The combination of speaking and practicing, more training, listening, and speaking, also strengthen the training of Chinese character reading and writing.
