Which age
group would you like to teach the most and
why
●
High School Age Development
(
14-17
)
1
I
want
to
teach
students
about
subjects
like
economics,
statistics and business-related
courses. The students who age
at
this
period
have
already
learned
English
for
6-10
years,
which makes the
verbal-based
instructions and
lectures
easier
understood
by
students.
Teachers
who
would
like
to
give
lectures
about more
abstract
concepts
which requires students
the
higher
perception
and
English
skills.
Students
meet
requirement with enough
English reading and writing skills can
take subjects like economics, history
and mathematics.
●
Describe
the
characteristics
of
your
3
most
influential
teachers throughout
childhood.
1.
piano teacher
Gao
：
She always asked me
training daily and
she
was
very
serious
about
the
weekly
progress
I
made
after the last course she had given.
Keep playing piano
for 8 years everyday
influences me a lot. Gao was not a
teacher
with
mild
personality,
and
she
was
always
demanding in my memory.
2.
Host training
teacher Wei: He is the most talented teacher
I had ever met. He did not talk
concepts much during our
one-to-one
course. I recited the poem over and over, and
1

，
Page5
he
gave
feedback
about
every
word
and
tone.
We
concentrated on the feedback and made
adjustments on one
piece of poem again
and again. He told me if I want to
get
the China Teenager Host Award I just needed to
mimic
his version of recite. There was
rules for appreciation
of speech
sounds, but it was unnecessary to understand.
To
learn
pronunciation,
the
only
thing
you
need
is
trying
your best to mimic.
3.
Math teacher
Zhou when I was in primary
school
：
I did not
perform pretty well in academics after
I transferred to
another
school
when
I
was
10.
Mrs.
Zhou
was
my
math
teacher in the new
school
，
she always encouraged
me and
thought
I
was
a
talented
student
on
math.
I
then
to
start
to
have
a
faith
in
me
that
I
actually
could
be
excel
at
studying.
This
faith
rooted
in
me
during
my
whole
student
period
——
I
then
really
became
good
at
math and I even chose Finance as my
college major.

What is
“telegraphic
speech”
According
to
linguistics
and
psychology
，
Telegraphic
Speech
is
2
TESOL for
Children Certificate
，
2018
，
Page4
the
speech
during
the
two-word
stage
of
language
acquisition
in
children. It has the feature of
concise, direct and precise.
3.
Name
five
different
type
of
gross
motor
skills
not
mentioned
in
the
text.
Do the same for fine
motor skills.
●
gross
motor:
throwing,
catching,
kicking,
squating,
waggling
arms, jumping,
running, walking
●
fine
motor:
shaking
hands,
blinking,
twisting,
nodding,
shaking

posture,
stamping
feet,
shrugging
shoulder
4.
Which
type
of
music
and
movies
would
you
like
to
introduce
to
children of other cultures
Why
I would introduce the
cartoon movies and folk music to children.
The cartoons are with positive attitude
and value, which is good
for shaping
the value of kids. The folk music are made with
simple
words and contains the native
culture, which is good for children
to
learn the culture and memory the L2
words.
5.
Name and describe one exercise that can
be utilized for learning
English
involving
Science
，
Math,
and
Social
Studies
separately.( The
answer should contain three different
exercise.
●
Science
：
running
is a good exercise for students to learn the
relationship
among
distance,
time
used
and
the
speed.
The
formula
among
these
three
factors
could
be
abstract
for
students in class, let them run in
different speed within the
same
distance
and
record
the
data
is
a
good
way
to
learn(physics).
●
Math
：
table
tennis
can
be
utilized
for
learning
English
and
geometry. If you want to
get score, you need to calculate the
relationship between the ball you want
to strike and the white
ball. Students
need to speak out the color and the angle after
he/she strikes the ball.
●
Social
Studies
：
playing soccer can
be really good exercise for
social
studies
，
as this sport has
changing rules in different
countries
and
period
of
history.
Moreover,
students
could
learn
vocabularies
about
the
verb
when
playing
soccer
and
interact
with
team
members,
which
involves
in
many
knowledge
about team management and teamwork
cooperation.

What is
“
comprehensible
input
”
What
is
“
comprehensible
output
”
How are they similar
How are they different
According
to
the
theory
generated
by
Stephen
Krashen,
“
comprehensible
input
”
is
an
“intaking”
second-language-
learning
process, in which the learner acquire the language
a
bit
more
difficult
than
he/she
could
handle
at
the
current
level(
Kra
shen
，
1985
page103
).
“
Comprehensible
Output
”
is the
theory created by Merrill K. Swain and
Sharon Lapkin according
to the
theory
of
comprehensible
input. It
means that
“
we
can
only
understand
that
which
is
paralinguistically
comprehend,
（
TESOL
Examination Syllabus
，
2018
）
”
The
differences
between
Comprehensible
Input(CI)
and
Comprehensible Output(CO) is that CI is
more about reading and
listening,
and
CO
is
more
about
writing
and
speaking(talking/communicating which
engages other S2 speakers
in a
conversation)
8.
Are children of bilingual households at
disadvantageWhy or why not
I think children of bilingual house
holds are at advantages to
learn
multiple
languages.
According
to
the
concept
“
common
underlying
proficiency
“
mentioned
by
Jim
Cummins,
two
languages
learning
process
involves
the
same
part
of
the
brain,
and
the
different
words
in
two
language
systems
are
stored in the same
memory area of a kid, which means children
living
in
the
bilingual
environment
could
have
advantages
of
learning two different languages within
a same time.

What
intelligence type are youDescribe your
intelligence type and
tell how it can
contribute to being an effective
teacher

I got: Logical-mathematical
Intelligence

The
logical-mathematical
Intelligence
are
good
at
reasoning,
recognizing
patterns
and
logically
analyze
problem
s.“
These
individuals
tend
to
think
conceptually
about
numbers
，
relationships
，
and
patterns
”
Because
people
who
have
advantages
in
logical-mathematical
intelligence
are
good
at
problem-
solving,
thinking
about
abstract
ideas
and
solving
complex
computation,
he/she
would
be
good
at
teaching
math/business-related
courses
to
high
school
students.
As
either
math
or
economics
requires
teachers
the
ability
of
teaching to explain abstract concepts
and formula to students
with
brief
and
logical
language
，
a
teacher
with
strengths
in
logical-mathematical
intelligence
would
enable
him/her
being
an effective
teacher.
10.
Describe a classroom activity for each
of the intelligence types.
Visual/Spatial Learners
The teacher show the picture and let
the students to speak out

from the box with the
instruction, the
rest of the students try their fast to speak
out the verb/activity on the
tape.
Interpersonal Learner
Let every two
of
students

students finish talking, the teacher give
the
feedback
of
each
group
and
indicate
the
best
group
in
which
the students have better understanding of
sentences and
words than the other
groups.
Intrapersonal Learner
Find
proper
topic
for
writing
an
essay
in
a
class
，
through
which students could use dictionary to
learn the vocabularies
related with the
topic and try to enhance their writing speed
with understanding of the
grammar.
Musical/Rhythmic
Pick
up
a
song
which
contains
your
teaching
goal
of
vocabularies
and
sentence
structures
which
you
want
students
to
learn.
Play
it
in
class
3
times.
The
first
time
let
them
enjoy the music without taking notes.
The second time let them
take
notes
to
help
memory.
After
the
third
time
，
ask
them
about
the meaning
，
important words
and grammar of the song.

Then
pick
up
the
items
randomly and ask students to name each
items correctly.

Name
and
describe
an
intelligence
type
that
not
named
and
described by Howard
Gardner.
Naturalist
People
who
are
strong
in
Naturalist
intelligence
have
strengths in understand
biological studies, work best through
“show
and
tell”
and
field
trips,
and
are
better
at
recognizing
the
power
of
nature
than
people
in
other
type
of
intelligence.
12.
How do
discipline methods change and evolve for each age
group
To
encourage
children
in
different
age
period,
teachers
need
to
use
differential
rules
—
—
not
too
much
nor
too
little
，
which is
necessary for class management and kids. Kids
younger
requires more clear
instructions
and more
positive feedbacks.
The
teenagers
group
evolved
less
emotional
rewards
and
positive
feedback
than
toddlers,
but
a
good
teacher
still
needs
to
give
them
encourage
at
least
once
a
week.
Moreover,
discipline means the atmosphere
management in classes. Do make
sure use
more gross motors when teaching younger kids.
13.
What do you think is the most important
rule for discipline that
is not
mentioned in the above text
Violation
of
principles
should
be
punished.
I
think
appropriate
rules
of
punishment
for
kids
who
violate
the
principles
of
teachers
should
be
carefully
designed.
The
punishment
should
make
students
feel
fair
and
standable
，
and
motivate them to correct the
misbehaviors.
14.
Name
and
describe
three
ways
that
you
can
create
a
safe
and
shameless learning environment for each
of the learning methods.
Call students by name. Make your
pronounciation of
students’
names correct.
Present all sides of an issue. Treat
all views from every
students in the
class as worthy of consideration. Support with
a student who seems alone in an
opinion.
“Play
the devil's
advocate for a less-popular
view.”
Asking students to
do
some research for a viewpoint which
they least agree with, and
as a
controller of the class you could play a role that
advocate for it.
You
could
set
students’expectations
high.
Make
sure
they
would try hard enough
to reach your teaching
goal
，
while also
providing the resources and support
they need to successfully
meet those
expectation
15.
In your own words describe five
approaches to TESOL.
Art/Music
Approach
：
art
means
more
about
images/pictures/painting/ solid
geometry here. Both art and music
tied
together
in
brain
processing
by
pitch,
rhythm
and
symmetrical
phrasing.
Students
could
learn
about
reading
easier
with
the
tool
of
art,
and
be
more
accurate
when
mimicking
the
pronunciation when
listening and singing a song.
Direct
Based
Approach/Communicative:
Speak
only
the
target
language
in
a
class
without
any
mother
language
spoken
among
students and the teacher.
TPR: use the gross motor
and fine motor effectively and fully to
attract and keep
kids
’
attention in one
class.
Natural
Approach
：
make
full
use
of
sense
organs
to
engage
students
themselves
in
the
learning.
The
four
language
ski
lls
：
listening
，
speaking
，
reading and
writing
，
may be practiced in
a
set
of
different
combined
strategies.
The
comprehensible
input
helps students absorb a language
better.
Vocabulary
Approach:
“listen
and
repe
at”,
“quick
peek
technique”
and
“what’s
missing”
can be used in this
approach.
Students learn the sets of
vocabularies and words in direct study
or by incidental
acquisition.
