Mei: Self-invasive modular teaching

He was the founder of the New Oriental IELTS VIP, the youngest group trainer in addition to the IELTS teacher, his other status is badminton country level two athletes and bar resident singer, the first job is the PwC auditor; early in the month, he left the Heaven education, and Le Jing, Zheng and so on to form the "IELTS Five", Hope to use a different play to pry industry ... He is Mei, the students all call him "Uncle Mei". Recently Mei and more than the net face-to-face, talk about the IELTS teaching understanding and experience. From learning imitation to self-creating modular Teaching Knowledge Network: Can you talk about your teaching experience? including preparing lessons, lectures and so on. Mei: Divided into several stages. Previously in the new Oriental teaching IELTS vocabulary, the first lesson is to learn and imitate, then there are many masters can learn from, such as classical, Liu Chang and so on. I belong to a very good memory, Pisces character and more delicate, coupled with the understanding of students, students are very recognized me. However, after the fifth shift, the more slowly, because the content of the course, added too much of their own experience and ridicule. Originally 300 pages of PPT, only to talk about the front 150 pages There is no time, I know this will not be, so start the second round of preparation, that is, the second stage. I deleted the things in front of me, began to use modular teaching, the knowledge is cut into modules, such as teaching vocabulary, there must be introduction, methodology, the development of different methods, the relationship between each method, as well as the extension of vocabulary. These are scattered, first-level, somewhat like mind Map (Mindmap). When this is ready, the lecture content can be adjusted according to time, for example, I have 10 classes, to find a full 10 class knowledge module on it. In the third stage, I can not use PPT at all, only need a Word document and a system with drawing software. Multi-Knowledge Network: The modular content of the course is very interesting, how to understand? Mei: With a special vulgar saying, is the knowledge point. Each module, in fact, from students completely do not understand, to fully understand to design. Each module is an organic unit, with the introduction, expansion, example, the process of illustration, practice and so on. Multi-Knowledge Network: Is this the only way to fit the vocabulary class, or is there a process for other subjects? Mei: There will be, reading words, is a certain type of questions, a certain problem-solving steps, an article, a certain kind of article theme. Each account can be subdivided into such units, and the methods are similar. According to a normal learning process, should be introduced, explained, exemplified, practice again. Multi-Knowledge Network: A class to set up a few modules more appropriate? Mei: Not necessarily. I speak a question, cut for import, explanation, example, but in the example, inside is also import, explain, example plus practice. Multi-Knowledge Network: Is a large module set small module. Mei: Yes, it's the same as programming. The program can not write at a time, must be in a module to write a part of the first, debugging, to see if there are bugs (many know the network note: program errors), and then to write another part, and then put a few modules together. Multi-Knowledge Net: This kind of modular thinking, to student memory how much help? Mei: Very helpful.Support。 Students can remember the class is a point, after home review, you can teach the whole idea of the teacher to wear up, logic out, it is easy to remember. Multi-Knowledge Network: Vocabulary has been a faction of controversy: Root method and association method, how do you think of memory methods? Mei: I'll string all the methods in class. method is not important, remember the word is important. There are three criteria for memorizing words: the memory of fast, profound and expanding vocabulary. Associative memory can be quickly memorized and recorded for a long time, but in terms of long-term learning and expansion, or root affixes. I do not reject associative memory, the ultimate goal is to remember words. "To do the problem is to practice the" internal force, "" More Knowledge Network: Vocabulary class said a lot, read it? Mei: Reading at that time is also Shang, from the notice I want to class to the commencement of only 7 days, can not escape from imitation and learning. The first class is more than 200 people's class, the response is not bad, the students rated 4.89 (total score 5 points), than my first vocabulary class is still high. After the first summer vacation, I began to do a crazy problem. Read want to perfect words, the topic must do at least five or six times, and each time must have their own purpose: the first time is to do the question, the second to third time is for analysis, the fourth time is for preparing lessons and so on. After the question is over, the reading will go into the third stage, the thing behind the excavation. Do a problem like tricks, but at the same time, but also to cultivate internal forces, the internal force and the use of tricks to integrate. What do you mean by the American culture? Mei: This is part of it, but definitely not, this is what I will do in the Teacher Training 3.0 version of the system. 1.0 is the surgery industry has specialized, the reading attacks down on the line; 2.0 is to cultivate the teacher's teaching posture, training teachers, 3.0 is equivalent to a group of gas, can be small, but absolutely can not cut, not cut skills, content, lesson plans, and students to deal with and so on. A teacher in the third year, it is possible to appear such a group of QI. Multi-Knowledge Network: From vocabulary to reading, there must be some common things to help you successfully complete this leap. Mei: Speaking words, in addition to simply speaking the word, but also to use, it will be used in sentences, reading, from the text to the sentence, they have this connection point. In addition, the cultural connotations of words and the cultural connotations behind the articles will be somewhat common. For example, I teach IELTS writing, reading some of the sentences, can improve the level of writing. Multi-Knowledge Network: As the saying goes, seven points of practice, in the layout of homework and consolidate learning effects, what do you experience? Mei: Homework must have and the content of the day is directly related to, and irrelevant. The relevant content is to allow students to further recognize the curriculum and to deepen proficiency, not related to preparation for the next class, or to prepare for some accidents. All the methods in class, there will be special cases, do not allow students to find special cases in the exam, to be in the practice of the students to find exceptions, and in the next class to solve. "Standardization can save the early repetition of the work" more knowledge network: There is no help students do studyPlan？ For example, for one or a certain class of students? Mei: Certainly will do. First, with experience, to see the student's achievements, chat with him, understand his study habits, make a week or one months plan. Listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, what to do every day, what kind of time to arrange. I prefer to do standardization, but also to do standardization earlier. According to students ' four grades, college entrance examination results, vocabulary, entrance test scores and each individual achievement, from various dimensions to describe the students; In addition to his personality, preferences and conversation, we will turn the students into a solid image of a variety of data. Describe the student and classify him. We divided the students into six categories, each class of students, the appropriate pace of study and the pace of learning is not the same. According to his grades and goals, make a study plan for him. Everything can be standardized, so later can save a lot of things. Multi-Knowledge Net: But from some point of view, standardization and personalization are conflicting. Mei: In fact, not conflict. Personalization means that when a student comes in, he will get his own study file and study plan. But not because of respect for his personality, he is not one of these six categories. Standardization can save some unnecessary repetitive work in the early stages. More Knowledge Network: Recently you also started to do some online courses? Mei: Online I am new, Zheng strong brother found me, the first lecture was at the end of June, when the students were in the final exam, the lecture was about 1300 people. Now lectures in 2000 to 3000 people, is yy 80128 channel lectures of the most students one of several teachers. I mainly activities in YY 8640 channel, after the fight every month yy on 3 to 4 classes, each Class 3 to 4 nights, a class of 2 hours. Now online education will also have some constraints, such as PPT without animation, want to rely on animation to show the teacher may be weak. Multi-Knowledge Network: line work? Mainly do le ya private "ielts Five" and "30 team"? Mei: le ya private school is mainly to do high-end customized course products, from one-on-one to six small classes, and now be emulated by the very powerful whole hosting mode, in fact this model Le YA 2009 has done very mature, should be the first domestic. "30 Team" five, is our summer market means, "IELTS Five" is only a recent selling point, we hope that the concept of the public relations industry often mentioned "event", there will be a series of activities. "30 strong team" main teacher low price, and accommodation and other ancillary services are very cattle, are my primary preparation. New Oriental 25-person accommodation classes charge about 14000 yuan, we 30-person class, the city luxury accommodation, received 12500 yuan, the first period of 80 percent 9999 yuan, the latter three part of the trainees 90 percent discount. Although not necessarily so low, but there will be some discounts. Students go to other institutions of the class, do not know who gave him the class, we told him that this class is five of us, the price tag, (students) know what he bought is something, this is also a difference. Multi-Knowledge Network: "30 team "This model, will not extend to such as the TOEFL, sat and other fields?" Mei: Autumn may be a surprise. What is the reason for leaving the heaven at the beginning of the month? Mei: The idea is not right, mainly with the market operators, and the boss of the management style also has a relationship.
