Real Talk, a feature of Nanyang Model Private High School, has continued to develop this year with the establishment of a more complete system and a wider range of related activities. The students participated actively, and the parents also gave very good comments.
Our school has made improvements in Real Talk. In the past, Real Talk only required students to speak English in school, but no one was responsible for the supervision and there was no mechanism to mobilize students’ enthusiasm. Therefore, students did not pay so much attention to Real Talk. The Real Talk card, launched this year, addresses this problem. Each student will have three Real Talk cards. If they actively answer questions in English in class, there will be Bonus Real Talk cards, but if they speak languages other than English, they will be taken away by the teacher. Each card represents two points. Each student will have his or her own Real Talk team, and the ranking of the group scores makes it a healthy competition, with everyone trying their best to get a higher score for the group. This is of great benefit to students.
The benefits for students are to improve their practical ability to use English and to better adapt to the school curriculum, as well as to prepare students to live and study in other English-speaking countries in the future. The first is to improve the practical ability to use English, many students may have a large vocabulary, but skills are lacking, but real talk can help them in the process of communicating with teachers and classmates, gain more vocabulary at the same time, they will know the vocabulary proficiency and instant into sentences in the brain, to express their meaning, It exercises their ability to use English in real-time, instead of slowly piecing together words to communicate. This immediate practical ability is the embodiment of true English proficiency. The second is to adapt to the school curriculum, Nanmo foreign course is pure English lecture, some people may be because their English skills and affect their course of study, so this is a very good chance to improve students’ English ability, help each student better adapt to the course, show their real comprehension for class. The most important thing is to prepare students to live and study in other English-speaking countries in the future. The main purpose of high school education is for students to receive a better university education, which helps them to establish themselves and live abroad. Education level and the required level of English is proportional to the, of the university of education require students to have higher levels of English ability, so the high school is very important to the cultivation of the student’s English level, the emergence of real talk is very to conform to the goal of the school of education, at the same time it also can let students living abroad when there are no obstacles to communicate with the locals, It will not affect life because of language.
Not only our students actively participate in, the parents support, each teacher also for real talk out their own power, but they are also strictly abiding by the mechanism of real talk, let the students have a better competitive environment and the language environment, teachers will be active to help those students on the English ability is weak, help them to improve, Make sure Real Talk gets them to speak more and exercise themselves in a positive way, rather than avoiding penalty points by not speaking. This is how the teachers improved Real Talk through careful observation and reference to the real situations of some students. It can be seen that the teachers care about the students.
Nanmo’s excellent learning environment and education quality are the joint efforts of students, teachers, and parents. Real Talk activities are the best embodiment of our school’s scientific education and balanced development. Real Talk’s perfect system is also the crystallization of Nanmo’s innovation in education and the accumulation of time.
