A Visit to Lishan Junior High School

As entering this small campus, I, suddenly, walked into a happy Neverland filled with joy, laugh, youth, and energy. Oops! I could never believe all the students here are almost ten years younger than I.

     The class we visited is so called EGRC, English Gifted Resources Class, composed of some gifted students in English from each class. What a small class it is? There were only six or seven students that day. Knowing that all the children there have talent for English, I wonder how the teacher had lesson with those gifted students.

     Mr. Hsu, the teacher of the EGRC, seemed to drive a light carriage on a familiar road, started the class by asking a few questions about some pictures to review the students’ memory. I was not surprised that those students always gave response actively. They seemed to be the knowledge hunter zealously. And then, Ms. Hsu played CD and asked students to repeat the dialogue they heard. Of course, all the students had good accent and intonation. The class proceeded, Mr. Hsu began to explain the main part of the context by paraphrasing, expanding the meaning of the vocabularies, and making more and more examples to the students. Everything there was perfect. The course went smoothly without any obstacle, just like an ideal model.

     I wonder how those incredible children learned English in their childhood. Do they come from well-income family? Or are they really genius in language learning? Since they have no problems in learning English, I don’t know what the teacher should teach them? More vocabularies or foreign culture? They are good at their English accent and grammar structure, and, doubtless, it seems that they would become more like native speakers one day. I am still learning, and looking for what a role of such kind of teacher should be. But I did learn lots of things from those gifted students and the teacher. I believe that I would find out the answer during my own teaching in the future.
