A teacher pronounces an English word in front of the blackboard and then the students chant(重复地念)the word back to him. Then they are asked to write the word out 10 times in their exercise books after class. As a result, the teacher shouts himself hoarse(嘶哑的)while the students are tired of repetitions.
For decades, this teaching method has been used in most Chinese classrooms and has prevented development of generations of students. However, in the 21st century, notebook computers and the internet will hopefully make a difference in the Chinese classrooms.
“Great! I can learn English words and expressions through cartoons and games on my notebook computer now,” exclaimed 12-year- old Xue Jingkai, a first-grader at Beijing No.19 Middle School.
Xue is one of the 98 students in the two experimental classes, where everyone had a notebook computer. With a click of the mouse of several presses on the keyboard, students can do exercises, make notes, and most important of all, send ideas or questions to the teacher whenever they want.
“This kind of exchange is something we never expected,” said Pei Wenguo, a teacher of China in the two experimental classes. With 50 or60 students in a classroom, what he used to worry about most was students' talking in classes. “If each one airs his view or asks a question for as short as just 30 seconds, it would take most of the class half an hour to listen to them all, how can I get through the teaching plan in the remaining 15 minutes?”
Now with the help of the school computer network, Pei can warmly welcome ideas from his students. “Since everybody can talk on the school net at the same time, it saves time.” said Pei. “The network enables me to give instruction to every member of the class, even though their needs differ.”
Besides, he can give more to his students with-in the class hour. For example, he can list books and newspaper clipping on the computer for the students' selective reading, while teaching the text.
