TESOL Student's Experience -TESOL in China

Through 4 daystraining of TESOL advanced program, I have a better understanding towardsEnglish learning, teaching and communication. Hopefully, these appreciationscan be transformed into my intrinsic values which can be applied to my teachingcareer as well as to my interpersonal relationship.

The most fruitfulresult getting from TESOL advanced program is a new perspective towardsteaching English. Communicative language teaching (CLT) and TPR methods are themost commonly used teaching method in this course, which can motivate everyparticipant’s interest and make the classroom atmosphere veryactive.   Under traditional Asian teaching method, CLT and TPR areconsidered as inefficient even wasting of time, because these methods are notdesigned to passing exams. However, I believe the biggest obstacle in languagelearning is loosing interest or motivation. How can an English language learncan make progress if he or she lost his or her passion at the beginning? CLTand TPR can draw English learners’ attention to a large extend and expand theirinput and output as much as possible. Besides, classroom activities based onCLT and TPR simulate real-life English usage conditions, which prepare studentsreally well in real situations. Therefore, teaching methodologies such as CLTand TPR should be applied more widely in English teaching classrooms.

Besides teachingmethodologies, as a life-time language learner, I begin to review of mylanguage learning process after participating TESOL advanced program in orderto find a more efficient way for my future study. English used to be my leastfavorite subject in my primary school. There were so many vocabularies toremember, so many grammatical practices needed to be done and so manytranslations needed to be explained endlessly by my English teacher. Luckily,this unpleasant study experience did not last long because I was so into anAmerican rock band called Green Day. I wanted to figure out every song’s lyricsof their music to feel their emotions. At college, I was so interested intopsychology then I bought many original English psychology books to avoidtranslating inaccuracies which may hinder my understanding. At that time myreading ability improved dramatically. Everyone has his or her own uniquelearning style. Language learning can take many forms, not only just memorizingvocabularies, grammatical rules or endlessly mechanical drills. Languagelearners should understand their unique learning styles to meet their learningneeds. Language leaning can take many forms in music, movies, literacies, artsand interactions. Being conscious of these language carriers and make the bestresult out of them.

Last but notleast, by participating TESOL advanced program, I got acquainted with so manywonderful classmates. We may speak different dialogues with various culturalbackgrounds, ages, occupations and personalities. But it didn’t take long forus to know each other through warm-up activities-which I would like to callice-breaking activities – to form a sense of community. Some people alreadyhave been mums and dads, some people are still students, and some people arejust started running their own business. They are really kind-hearted andalways wiling to help. What inspires me most is their sophisticated and decentway of caring. For example, for classmates who maybe shy and feel uncomfortablewhen speaking in the public, most of my classmates act both like patientparents and loving friends to make them feel more comfortable and more adaptingrather than isolating and ignoring them, though it’s only four days’ training.If all the people around the world would like to show their kindness like myclassmates, there would be no terrible bullying in schools or workplaces. Ibelieve by joining TESOL advanced program, my social behavior will also belifted and my personality will be enriched by my classmates.

To conclude, TEOSLadvanced program provides me with valuable learning experiences through 4 daysintensive training. Not only my teaching skills will be improved, but also myways of learning languages will be more scientific andefficient.   Besides, it’s my privilege to meet all of my loving andcaring classmates. Finally, thanks to my instructor Alex, for your excellentinstruction and classroom management.
