After 80's math teacher was invited to the British secondary school lectures, you must play WeChat.
Zhejiang Online - Qianjiang Evening News reporter Shen Meng and
two British workers appeared in Cambridge high school. It is said that they came to Hangzhou this time to follow Zou Hailian, a math teacher in this school. To be sure, it should be "continue", because in March this year, Mr. Zou had been in their camera for 1 months, but in a British high school. The cause of
is that the British BBC broadcasting company launched a research project - "the Chinese School of Britain", which opened the "Chinese experimental class" at the top public school in the UK, which is not only the same as the Chinese school, but also the Chinese teachers. Cheng heel, planned to be recorded as a documentary.
Zou Hailian is one of the Chinese teachers in this project.
"they want to know more about school situations, and enter my classroom to shoot for more elements for documentaries. Tomorrow, they will come to my home to make up shots. "
Mr. Zou said that he could be selected by the British project. It's really not easy. "They chose teachers very strictly, and I spent half a year before I passed the heavy barriers set up by the organizers. There are only two teachers in China, and the other is English teacher at Nanjing foreign language school.
can be cut off by five passes and six will be chosen by the British BBC to teach in England for a month. What kind of teacher is Zou Hailian?
is a post 80, with the master's degree in Zhejiang University's master's degree
to know that Zou Hailian was a post 80. After he got his master's degree in Zhejiang University of mathematical statistics, he had been teaching to Hangzhou for 9 years. The current QQ signature is the IGCSE A-Level course math teacher.
, like most teachers, Mr. Zou is very talkative, especially in his math class. Unlike the ordinary math teacher, he says he will suddenly take one or two English words, and most of his students will think he is an English teacher.
"I teach mathematics." Mr. Zou stressed, "it's only math in English." He took math lessons in English and went to Hangzhou for third years. He was transferred to Cambridge high school to teach mathematics.
Mr. Zou's math class looks quite western. Every class, he will take out part of the time and students to interact, and even after the end of the question to walk down the platform, run to the middle of the students, no one on the other side of the discussion. "Because there are about 30 students in class, there is enough communication time in class to enable students to think and let students speak."
but compared with the real English teacher, Zou feels that his lessons are quite Chinese. For example, he prepares lessons very carefully, will estimate the classroom, the student will occur various situations, and wants to deal with the solution. Even if you choose a few examples, you should also think about the knowledge before and after the sequence. "Just like helping students design learning routes, foreign teachers are usually not so careful." Mr. Zou said.
mathematics in English is the "winning bid" reason
the students who have been in the classroom of Zou teacher's combination of Chinese and Western are all doing well. Last year he brought two classes, almost everyone was A or A.
Zou feels that she will be caught in BBC. It is certainly not because her students are excellent. "Mainly in language level, there are not many teachers who can use English in math class in China."
, in order to practise maths in English, Mr. Zou didn't make much effort. "When I read graduate students, I have to read the papers and write papers, so my written English is good and my oral English is not good, so I often go to the English Corner practice in Zhejiang University, or look at the American opera. Later, when I went to Hangzhou to teach, the English atmosphere was better.
Mr. Zou said he remembered the first maths lesson in English, which spent several times more than usual to prepare lessons. In his words, it is really hard to crack the head: first, comb the equilateral triangle and other mathematical nouns, then translate the original lesson plans into English. When he worried about half of his shell or encountered unexpected situations, he wrote down every word he might say in class.
Mr. Zou said so, saying that he had slipped away the math class. "There's no trick. It's going to come out in class."
to the British class, it is difficult not difficult
selection is very strict, it must be four pass
to be BBC in the UK, how difficult to British high school students in the UK? Mr. Zou said that he had to calculate four points. The first hurdle of
is to play WeChat, because if the information is not well-informed, there will be no chance.
it is understood that this BBC is looking for Chinese teachers and has not published the news in the domestic media. In September last year, Zou heard the news for the first time. Two colleagues also heard the news from the students studying in England. They all forwarded the message to him and encouraged him to give it a try.
Second, the teaching age is 5 years, and can teach in English.
Mr. Zou recalled that the 3 basic conditions that BBC had made during the selection stopped most of the teachers' footsteps. First, the project was to find teachers in the Chinese basic education system; second, these teachers were engaged in the teaching of English grammar, mathematics, science and Social Sciences for at least 5 years and less than half a year. No, the third condition is the most difficult. These teachers also have the ability to teach English in English.
Ms. Zou, who taught in Cambridge high school outside Hangzhou for many years, usually gave math lessons to students in English, so she was selected for the primary election of BBC. There are three or four rounds of interviews for
third level.
Mr. Zou said he submitted a resume to BBC and soon received an interview notice, and more than once. "There are only three or four interviews on the phone, at least half an hour at a time, and the longest one for a whole hour."
the specific interview content, he did not remember: "mainly to verify my situation, including educational experience, teaching methods, and the compatibility of the research project. In addition, they gave me a detailed account of the context of the project.
teacher Zou was most impressed by the repeated emphasis on the phone in the interview, hoping that he could use traditional Chinese educational methods when he was in the UK.
Fourth, a psychological test.
when all the procedures were similar, BBC also specialized in finding an independent institution to assess her mental state.
the test was completed online through the Internet, and it took 1 hours. "From the point of view of the topic, it is mainly testing whether there is any psychological trauma, adaptability to new environment, and ability to resist pressure." Mr. Zou recalls, "I felt that the British picked the teachers carefully, and later heard that the German flight was lost, probably due to the serious depression of the pilot, and I thought this test was really necessary. Mental health may be more important than teaching level for teachers to face so many children. "
of course, Mr. Zou, who was cheerful and talkative, passed the test smoothly and was hired at the end of December last year. He flew to Britain at the end of February this year, giving 50 British students a month's math class, and he served as the head teacher of the experimental class.
