本网讯 2023年5月，由我校教师发展中心与福州外语外贸学院教师发展中心联合主办的教师全英授课（EMI）能力发展项目顺利进行。本次培训第一阶段由位于阿根廷的资深培训师Susan Hillyard通过ZOOM平台开展云端教学，来自福州外语外贸学院的13名全英教师学员参加线上培训。第一阶段培训历时三周，共计18学时，目前已圆满结课。
本阶段培训伊始，教师发展中心首先向大家介绍了全英授课及教师发展概况，让大家初步了解全英授课项目的国内外基本情况以及我校全英教师队伍的发展建设，并详细说明了广外全英授课教师的“培训+培养+认证”体系，旨在帮助学员们进一步了解全英授课项目的开展宗旨和培训认证流程。
导师Susan Hillyard与教师发展中心开展合作调研，精心设计本阶段课程，开展了生动又精彩的全英教学云端课堂，轻松积极的课堂氛围以及导师的热情幽默与博学均使学员们收获甚多。
第一阶段的线上课程授课内容包括课堂语言的使用、课程内容的呈现、课程互动策略、课程计划撰写、课堂氛围营造等等。Susan Hillyard分享了许多高效又有趣的学习及教学方法，比如：SQ3R五步学习计划（Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review）、布鲁姆的目标分类学（Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy）、“Growth Mindset“、“BO Room”、“Inclusive Brainstorming”、“Professional Learning Community“等等。此外，该阶段课程注重互动式教学，在课程中运用了互动式引导与研讨、小组讨论与实践等形式进行教学，目的是让学员们能通过研讨与实践学习如何开展有效的全英教学，体会到“从做中学”的重要性。
据悉，教师发展中心已连续八年引进国外导师对我校全英、双语授课教师进行专项全英教学培训。从2020年起，教师发展中心采用了校外引进与校内培育相结合、国外导师与校内导师合作的方式开展该项目，进一步提高了我校全英/双语授课教师的教学信心。2023年下半年，校内导师将结合第一阶段线上培训的成果与学员的反馈，通过“问诊式”辅导与递进式研修的形式开展第二、第三阶段的培训，以期实现线上线下培训的衔接与融合。
附部分学员的结课感言：
Jiang: Participating in the EMI study course has broadened my understanding of effective EMI strategies and transformed my teaching by equipping me with practical tools to enhance language acquisition, engage students, and create a1n inclusive learning environment.
Vicky: In EMI’s classes I have become more open to new things and use body language to teach and encourage students more.
Kitty: In this class, the most interest part is about “interactive technuqies ”, I can find more useful methods to interactive with students to let them feel more fun in class.
Lilian: Growth mindset is like muscle, the more you use it the more powerful the intellectual capability would be. This is the same as the teacher, who are supposed to be a life-long learner.
Monica: The EMI teaching is not simply a translation of Chinese course, it involves plenty of interactive techniques and students should be the center of class.
Shao: I learn the importance of idea that“teaching is not the focus but to facilitate the learning process of students”, and start applying interactive techniques and visual aids in my lesson plannings.
Joyce: The course has helped me enable the implementation of effective strategies such as visual aids, simplified explanations, and interactive activities, and create a supportive environment to enhance student engagement and language acquisition.
Lynn: I am happy with that as I think about interaction, I’ve not only come up with the importance of interaction but also what to do, how and when to do it，and the terminology and ideology behind it; I will never run out of interactive activities now!
Emma: i used to think that the boring course content was the reason for students' lack of interest in learning, therefore my class was always ordinary, however, through this course, i gradually understand the role and function of teachers, and as teachers, we can actually use various teaching theories or methods（such as various of interactive techniques）to make the course content more attractive so as to increase students’ participation, make the entire teaching process interesting and efficiently, and help students master the knowledge well.
Emerson: EMI is a systematic belief，teaching thinking and skills, including growth mindset, English thinking pattern, SQ3R reading skills, lecture technique, lesson planning,teaching skills, such as classroom interaction skills, teaching language, k-cart, Journal, etc
Ling: I was vividly impressed by the earlier teaching stage of professional English class. I was tired for preparing the class because as a freshman of the school i was always assigned the maximum classes like 18 classes a week. So I tried my best to economize my preparation time. I just translate the all teaching materials and translate to the students. The result turned out the students are so boring in the class even sleeping in the class. Until i share sth intimate and interesting event in the class, the students would look up at me. What an awkward situation. I blamed on the students that they were not interested in the study.
But with the accumulation of teaching experience and teaching training, as well as the cut down of the teaching class, i found the awkward situation can not blamed on the students, but on me. There is a Chinese saying: "There are no students who cannot teach well, only teachers who cannot teach”. This proverb has been validated on me. Now the all I want is the eye contact thirsty for study. So I did a lot of change, including the EMI training, I learned a lot.
No matter what I teach, the center is not me, the center is the students. The teacher speaks all the time without any opportunity for student to speak, to move, to think, the class is destined to fail. So at the beginning, I can make use of the interaction tips of NO.21: RECALL, SUMMERIZE, QUESTION, CONNECT AND COMMENT, even NO.16 to MAKE THEM GUESS to attract students interest. During the process of the class, I can separate the students into the breakout room to discuss the topic, share their opinion, get conclusion what they have got, even make the mind map. Design the proper question and task according to the Bloom’s taxonomy.
ESL students are basically not confidence in their English expression. In the class, I should use more visual materials, hand gesture, even the action instead of oral speaking with former describe to make them have a distinct understanding. I used to adapt the teaching ppt made by the publisher. The students even don’t look up at the ppt at all. Because it is useless. So according to the DIVID PHILIPs ppt making skills i get sth useful points to apply in my future presentation in the class.
