【答辩题目解析】

1. What teaching methods are used in your class?

【参考答案】

In my class, I mainly make use of three teaching methods, that is, communicative approach, task-based language teaching method and situational teaching method.

As for communicative approach, as you heard, this method is used in the whole class. Firstly, I ask students several questions, and invite some of them to answer the questions. This is teacher-student communication. Also, I organize several activities to help students communicate with each other, like role play and survey. These activities help students cultivate the ability of communication and co-operation.

As for task-based language teaching method, in the presentation part, I ask students to listen to the tape and finish related exercises. Students can know new knowledge through this task.

The last one is situational teaching method. Since the content of this lesson is closely related to students’ daily life, I set a real situation to teach the new knowledge. Students are easily attracted to the class.

2. How do you organize students to make a survey?

【参考答案】

In my class, I usually organize students to do a survey by the following five steps：

First, I will tell students what the topic is and how much time they will have for this activity.

Next, I will divide them into several groups and ask them to take their time.

During their discussion, I will walk around and listen to their ideas, also I will give them some help if necessary.

When time is up, some volunteers will be invited to do reports at the front.

Last, proper evaluation will be given.
