I
have worked in cram school for 4 years. Most cram schools don't have
enough computer equipments. The classroom only has desks, chairs and
one blackboard. It is a very traditional learning environment. Some
students have a computer in the home, others are not. Actually, some
families can't afford to buy a computer for their children. I will use
a "real situation" to analyze how to overcome "the application of
call."
| The
Real Situation |
| The
Class File: Location: City of Keelung, Taiwan Size: 6 students (2 girls and 4 boys) Age: 7-9 years old Level: beginners Hours: 16 hours a month. (four hours a week, two hours one class.) |
| The
Class Equipment: Chairs:6 Desks:6 Blackboard:1 TV: 1 CD player: 1 Tape player: 1 Projector : no Computer: no Internet: no |
| How
much advantages can I use? 1. There is a big TV and an amplifier in the classroom. 2. I have a laptop and an mp3 player. My laptop can wireless on-line. 3. All the students have computer classes in the regular classroom. |

Problem 1. Combing teacher's laptop and TV I has a laptop, which build in wireless. And there is a big TV in the classroom. I can use TV to do my screen. When I am playing some English audios or videos, students can join with me. In this process, students share us what they watch on TV or what they learn in the content. Obviously, there are some interactions between the teacher and students. I believe that this way is perfect because the boss don't spend money to buy any computer equipments and students don't worry about no computer. 2. Using school's Lab For poor students, the lab time is very precious. They desire to use computers everyday. I will give all information about learning English. Than, I make some handouts, which list useful websites and information. If they would like to realize these websites, they can take advantage of school's lab. In this way, I find a little problem. There is another teacher to teach computer skills. If students want to realize these language websites, they should finish their assignments first. Maybe they don't have others time to watch these websites. It is a pity. 3. Depend on friendship Some students, who have complete computer equipments, invite good friends to their home. They can watch and learn together. Peer learning is a good way, too. I admit that this way has some risk. Not all the students like to share their computer resource to other people. |
