reflection about the EFL class on Mar 18 March 18, 2008

I had to say that this week class really “shocked” me a lot. After the second group’s presentation,  the professor asked us to prepare vocabulary teaching in 15 minutes.  Actually, for me, at that short 15 minutes my brain only could go through some traditional teaching ways like syntactic categories analysis or  translation, etc. However, the impromptu the two classmates presented for us really made me surprised! ” Wow! I havn’t thought that definitions also can be taught as a vocabluary teaching materials.”  I believe it would be a good lesson for me to absorb others’ inspiration, and I also have to read more and think more. Hope that one day I can be a creative teacher:-)
