1112-MoonShinYoung-Topic 175: Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Give specific reasons and details to support your choice. |
There are various ways of teaching students. These days, many schools and private institutes find debates and discussions as an effective way to educate students. Often, students learn ways to improve speaking skills by debating. Also, it is helpful for improving students’ vocabulary ability as well as helping students to be more confident in expressing their thoughts. I prefer the idea of having students to speak their thought while in class. First of all, by debating during class, some students improve their speaking skills. Not only do they learn to organize their thoughts, they also learn to speak more persuasively. One of the private institutes that I enrolled myself in always divided the class into two groups for debating. Instead of having three hours of boring workbook-based lessons, they allowed students to speak their own opinions. Although it did not look like studying, it had helped a majority of students for interviews as well as debating. In addition, through discussions, students are likely to enhance their vocabulary ability. In my opinion, the easiest and the most natural way to increase vocabulary ability is by having a lot of conversations. The reason why students who have stayed abroad know more vocabulary than others who have never been abroad is not only because they had more exposure to English, but because they had more time to speak in English with their class as well as with their friends. Lastly, speaking in class makes it easy for students to be more organized and confident when speaking their opinions. These days, in universities, not to mention in workplaces, students are required to do presentation whether for a project or a conference. While many foreign countries are accustomed to giving presentations throughout their childhood and teenage years, Korean students lack the experience of speaking in front of the audience. They tend to be baffled and embarrassed when standing in front of the crowd. When presentations and discussions are done frequently in classes, students may be more relaxed and organized during presentations. All things considered, I would like to have lessons which give opportunities to speak my opinions in front of my fellow classmates. Although it may be embarrassing and hard at first to talk about my opinion, I believe the benefits of students speaking their own ideas far outweigh those of listening to the instructions of a teacher. Also, I think that the classes through interactive participation with talking are by far the most approach to efficient lectures. |
