這次的研習車程來回就花了快六小時 真正看到的點不多 倒是看到貴族學校的投資 除了中文課 其他都是請外師全英文教學 班級人數少 (但學費嚇人啊) 風光明媚 學生的英文程度果然不錯 走道上可聽到學生英文互相溝通 (還很巧遇到去年在惠文的外籍老師 Dylan Taylor )沒有這樣的設備和師資 希望靠我小小力量 也能發揮大大作用啦
這次研習主題式大英百科 Britannica 老師可以從線上得到許多經過組織的資料 並用於實際的教學上 大英百科也舉行Britannica Starlight計畫 和星光盃 提供學生參加活動 目前因為該公司仍須營利 因此密碼每個月更換 校園內使用無須帳號(但我試了 需要帳號ㄟ) 老師若需要帳號密碼 請私下詢問

The Sun is Yellow
Why is the sun yellow? It wasn't yellow before. It was because it ate the lollipop. In the past, everything in the world was red. The boy was red, the girl was red, the tree was red, the grass was red, the birds were red because the sun was red. But it wasn't pretty. So the red boy gave the yellow lollipop to the red sun. The next day, the sun turned into a blue one. And then the boy was blue, the girl was blue, the tree was blue, the grass was blue, and the birds were blue. Does it look pretty? No, it was too dark. So the sun turned into a green one. Then, the boy was green, the girl was green, the tree was green, the grass was green, and the birds were green. Does it look pretty? No, it was not beautiful. So the sun turned into a black one. Then, the boy was black, the girl was black, the tree was black, the grass was black, and the birds were green. Does it look pretty? No, we couldn't see anything. So the sun turned into a yellow one. Wow......

這次輪到我研習 剛好在住家附近 住快一年了 沒聽過這裡有英語村
地點就在台中市大里兒童藝術館(除了英語村 還有提供其他適合小朋友玩樂的地方哦)
網址: http://www.artsfun.com.tw/index.php?fun=1&topimg=t1&linksrc=news
老早想參加啦 不過 心裡有點不安 參觀後 果真如我所想 非常棒的硬體 但沒有軟體---外師駐紮 哀阿 ----底下其實不少老師發出同樣聲音
英語村的使用方式包含三種: 體驗式約10-15 分鐘 教學結合體驗式約30-40分鐘 和沉浸式 其實若真要學以致用 沉浸式該是最理想的方式
其實 中籍英文老師多數能夠承擔這些基本對話 但是 地不地道又成一問題
一個學校只有一個外師 除非跨校合作 把外師集合一起 否則 大材小用(或許數各學校可以合作來一次吧)
以下是部分的場景(有銀行 超市 飯店 餐廳 警局 消防局等等 )
如果可以在這裡用英文玩扮家家酒 一定很棒......心中不免有那種幻想
不過 這三小時幾乎都針對國小 因為往下紮根(雖到了國中 我沒發現學生的聽說特別好 反倒覺得 除了少數三四個很優異的之外 多數都得調教個一兩個月後 才能慢慢起色) 收穫不大 但我內心的聲音卻越來越大 政府花大筆錢落實英語教學 但獲得的實質效益有限 大家都想把它做好 但做法若不得當 效果就會打折
下面這些聲音 常會在某個時刻出現在我腦中
1. 學校教授學生日常生活會應用到的英文 然後到英語村進行體驗 而非教學裡面竟放黑板 便會把重心轉移 老師應該花10%時間教學 90%的時間讓學生使用應用語言(我正朝這方向前進) 到英語村應該是多給學生講話的機會 就好比學生扮家家酒
2. 歌唱比賽: 平日教學便會給學生聽英文歌 多半是抒情歌曲 因為希望學生能聽懂 那些rap 雖是文化的一種 但是上課拿來教學 學生還是聽不太懂 看到今天會議上播放的英文歌唱表演 那真是扼殺學生的喜好 今年國三主動說要去報名 他們很開心很主動 但當我一開始訓練他們唱和跳時 他們的熱誠少了一半 也感到沒耐心 跟我在班上讓他們分組唱唱跳跳時相比 少了許多歡笑 其實要讓學生喜歡英文 該是無壓力 期末我讓他們自己找流行歌 唱完並錄下 寄給我 我會課堂上播給大家聽 學生超期待的 表演藝術要讓孩子們在無壓力狀態下自由發揮創意 必要時給與指引 或許比起不停的反覆的機械式動作來的好 (這次沒得名其實在意料中 國三生 只能利用那午休三十分鐘練習 重頭到尾加一加 大概練不到四小時吧 不過學生都覺得自己表現得不錯 其實 鼓勵他們用心去做好一件事情 比起得獎更重要吧)
3. 教師的專業應該放在運用現有資源而非變成創造資源 好的教材由專業的團隊來研發 老師則是負責發揮創意來運用這些教材於教學中 要求或鼓勵老師做電子書 PPT 製做那些學習單等等 倒不如拿這些時間來收集資源或資源分享(網路上一堆 youtube 電子故事書 VOA BBC......坊間的用書用都用不完 跟大廠商和專業的team比技術 比財力 老師還是專心教書比較實在) 我光找這些資源就占去大半時間 還得想想怎麼運用或修改 加上改學生的作業和上課 初老症都上身啦
4. 往下紮根的確是個好的想法 但若從國中開始往下紮根 國中生的成熟度和自主能力應該會比在國小推行來的更順暢 英語營和電子書都從國小推行 其實如果先從國中開始 國中生會比國小生更自動自發 學的也更多吧
5. 卡通加上英文字幕 語音也照原本的語言 國小生和小朋友愛看卡通 電視人卻得打中文字幕 還翻譯成中文 學生不愛看新聞 卻偏偏有英語新聞 往下紮根 卻本末倒置(這一點我已經發出聲音很多年 但是我太太渺小啦 我的聲音 只有自言自語)
6. 國小和國中銜接仍有問題 每年接新生都充滿信心 想說國小應該都比以往專業 但是每年一接手 英文字母大小寫幾乎有一半的孩子無法全對 得訂正個幾次才能改善 更別說背單字啦 往下紮根?? 可別只是口號喊喊而已
