IELTS
How to prepare IELTS exam? Many people who got the high band of IELTS told me that it's not a good idea to read the article from the first line of the paragraph. First, you have to see the title or the headline, look for if any illustations are contained in the reading and guess what is going on in following content. Second, begin to read the first paragraph by skimmimg and skip the words you understand. (It means that you don't need to know the meaning of every words). (Learning Strategies Training). Then, you have to guess and predict the main idea of next paraprapg after finishing the first paragraph. Anyway, I realize this learning method is correspond to the methodology of "advanced organization"(Learning Strategies Training).

嚴師出高徒
The excellent students who come from taking a little dose of tough love. I didn't agree this statement totally before until having some teaching experiences. I found the students of Kid Castle whose English abilities are better than another cram school. Not because their intellect are better than others, but their teacher treats them are stricter. The teacher has to take the responsibility of the teaching to the supervisors. Based on this pressure and policy, the teachers of Kid Castle ask their students more than another cram school which the instructors’ demands are much lax of assignment of reciting English texts.
The teacher’s standard of English learning process is also affected students’ learning attitudes which lead them have the different learning results. Students head on you in order to take the check-out of assignments without well-prepared. The worse is, they don’t care this learning attitude because they know the teacher will give them cues when they encounter trouble spots and will allow them to pass the verification loosely.

Phonics
I've never heard about "phonics" before unitil the end of senior in university. I remembered knowing it very little and didn't understand what the professor talking about in classes. Then, I engaged it again when I worked as assistant teacher at Kid Castle institution. I perceived little concept by the students while coming to recite the articles or pronunce the vocabulary, such as ie, ee, dr, etc.
I only was taught "KK" phonetic symbol from the beginning of learning English in junior high school. I have no idea when started teachers to teach "phonics" of children English in Taiwan. The people whose age are similar to me have the same problem with me that don't know how to aid thier kids or the leaners who are younger much than them.

TOEFL iBT # IELTS
The people who major in English have more chance to practice the English four skills and immerse themselves in the enviromtemtal where fulls with the target language atmosphere. Recently, I have to prepare the TOEFL iBＴ and IELTS test in order to apply the graduate schools. It's not easy task for us whose major in English in university to get good score on that kinds of English proficiency tests. Other people whose major are not related to English can't understand why English majors can't do well on TOEFL and it is a myth to believe the English majors are excellent English test takers.
On the contrary, the English majors are considerate know the situation with each other and know the knowledge that got from university was different with the English exams. The students who major in department of English in Providence University have to pass 71 score on iBT of TOEFL that make them obtain the qualification to graduate from college. There still has a gap between the graduating qualification and the addimission to study abroad.

Kid Castle 1.
Memorize the text of English have to be asked in the beginner level. There are many students recite the English in order to pass the level at Kid Castle, but most of the studtnts recite the text not fast enough and fluently.
This educational policy makes me remember life when I was in junior high school that teacher ask us to memory the paragraphs and recite the text when the English class began. Every classmates recited the content fluently without one second hesitattion, otherwise someone else would scorn, look down upon and laugh at you even the teacher. It didn't need to think about the grammar whiling I recalled the text, because I've already turn the content into the spoken language automatically in the brain which the prerequisite is having skillful memory .
After attending the senoir high school included college, the teachers never asked us have to recite the text anymore. Maybe was the paragraphs became longer or much more than the level of junior school. I want to say the poiont is that the advantage of memorizing the text what made me converse with other people in English fluency without thinking or transfering my native language into foreign language in that time of junior school.
Nowadays, I almost forgot the content what I memorized in the past days, but sometimes it can help me to hold the conversation when I try to reacall the English content text rather than figuring out the grammar there.

Issue NO.1
How many methodologies may apply to the real teaching situation after studying fourteen teaching methods of academic field in the university? The teachers who teach in the middle school usually use The Grammar- Translation Method. Another kind of the teachers who work in the commercial school usually apply the teaching method of TPR or some techniques of The Audio-Lingual Method which the institution of the students almost is young children or the beginner level to learn English as their foreign language. I mean, your boss won’t support the teaching ways if you tell them “ teaching should be subordinate learning (Silent Way).” or playing the classical music while in the class time just because you believe this way can unity between conscious and subconscious, learning is enhance (Desuggestopedia), etc.

The Educational Program of (Albert) Schweitzer's Spirit
I participated the educational program in July which held by the eucational department of government that the goal in order to help the students who had the low achievement of exams to remedy their schoolwork.
I found the students were more concentrate on the class of learning the foreing language by playing games. It was not attracting by pupils that teacher instructed by grammar pattern explicitely or taught the conversation by Audiolingual Method (rote learning). Therefore, the teacher has to think out many ideas of interesting teaching games and activities. Besides, I found the "bingo" was a great recreation to let students to review the lesson or good way to make a quiz to exam their degree of lesson internalization. Inspite of the play of "bingo" is so convenient and easy available to test the students' English ablility of textbook unit what you taught in class, teachers must not use it too often. In othe rwords, I suggest teachers have to vary the acitivities, otherwise, the students will get fed up with the play.
