奇幻橡樹(shù)之旅，感受英語(yǔ)魅力?。ㄒ唬?/p>

The previous semesters at Jiahui Oak Foreign Language School were an exciting and interesting experience for our learners. We had some fascinating events and contests that our students thoroughly enjoyed. It must be said that the start to this semester has been a trying and challenging period for us all, however this hasn』t stopped the teachers from Jiahui Oak Foreign Language School from delivering a world class teaching experience.

嘉匯橡樹(shù)外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)校的學(xué)生們擁有很多興奮和有趣的經(jīng)歷。我們有一些有趣的活動(dòng)和比賽，學(xué)生非常喜歡。我必須說(shuō)，這學(xué)期的開(kāi)端對(duì)我們大家來(lái)說(shuō)都是一個(gè)艱難和挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)期，但這并沒(méi)有阻止嘉匯橡樹(shù)外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)校的老師們提供世界級(jí)的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

We have striven to ensure that the education of our students hasn』t stopped as a result of the interruptions. We, as teachers, remain fully committed to producing lessons and content to encourage our students and to ensure that active learning still takes place.

我們努力確保我們學(xué)生的教育不因這些突發(fā)情況而停止。作為教師，我們?nèi)匀怀浞种铝τ谥谱髡n程和內(nèi)容，以鼓勵(lì)我們的學(xué)生，并確保他們進(jìn)行積極的學(xué)習(xí)。

Before I speak about what we are currently doing in Grade two, I would like to share some wonderful events with you that took place during the previous semesters.

在我談到我們二年級(jí)正在做的事情之前，我想和大家分享一些在前期學(xué)習(xí)中發(fā)生的精彩事件。

We had some interesting themed days during the previous semester that included 『Pajama Day』, 『Red and Green Day』 and 『Scary Day』 to name a few.
The aims of these events were not only for the students to have some fun but also for the students to engage in English learning in a relaxed and collaborative environment. We read stories, watched interactive videos and also engaged in arts in crafts. Through all these activities students were continuously engaged in learning English.

上學(xué)期我們有一些有趣的主題日，包括 「睡衣日」 、 「紅綠日」 和 「恐怖日」 。
這些活動(dòng)的目的不僅是為了讓學(xué)生們玩得開(kāi)心，而且也是為了讓學(xué)生們?cè)谳p松和協(xié)作的環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)。我們讀故事，看互動(dòng)視頻，還做了手工作品。通過(guò)這些活動(dòng)，學(xué)生們可以不斷地學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)、享受英語(yǔ)。

However, it was not all fun and games. We also had our English Poem Recitation and Spelling Bee contests. Every student showed great determination and a will to succeed. They were very dedicated and all of them performed admirably. We are extremely proud of all our students.

然而，我們并不是只有樂(lè)趣游戲。我們還舉行了英語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌朗誦和拼寫(xiě)比賽。每個(gè)學(xué)生都表現(xiàn)出極大的決心和成功的意志。他們非常投入，所有人的表現(xiàn)都令人欽佩。我們?yōu)槲覀兯械膶W(xué)生感到驕傲。

Actually, what amazed me the most was how all of the students』 speaking and spelling improved as a result of the contests. Students were excited to show their teachers how they are able to spell difficult words! This shows that friendly competition can sometimes have a positive effect on a learner』s education.

事實(shí)上，最讓我吃驚的是，所有學(xué)生的口語(yǔ)和拼寫(xiě)能力都在競(jìng)賽中得到了提高。學(xué)生們興奮地向老師展示他們是如何拼寫(xiě)復(fù)雜的單詞的！這表明，友好競(jìng)爭(zhēng)有時(shí)會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)者的教育產(chǎn)生積極影響。

Online teaching in the current school environment

目前學(xué)校的線(xiàn)上教學(xué)情況。

Due to the current, unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves in, we』ve had to evolve and move to online learning in order to ensure that learning doesn』t cease during this difficult period. This has posed certain problems and challenges, however we as teachers will continuously find a way to ensure our students』 education always comes first.Teaching online requires different methods from the traditional classroom. It』s imperative that we, as teachers, adapt our skills to the online learning environment in order to ensure that our lessons remain effective and engaging for learners.

由于目前我們所處的不可預(yù)見(jiàn)的環(huán)境，我們不得不轉(zhuǎn)向在線(xiàn)學(xué)習(xí)，以確保學(xué)習(xí)不會(huì)在這個(gè)困難時(shí)期停止。這帶來(lái)了一定的問(wèn)題和挑戰(zhàn)，但作為教師，我們會(huì)不斷地尋找一種方法來(lái)確保我們的學(xué)生教育始終是第一位的，在線(xiàn)教學(xué)需要不同于傳統(tǒng)課堂的方法。作為教師，我們必須調(diào)整我們的技能以適應(yīng)在線(xiàn)學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，以確保我們的課程對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)者保持有效性和參與性。

Teacher Kylie and myself, Teacher Layton, actually live very close to each other in South Africa and this has really helped us to collaborate on lessons to ensure we make exciting and interesting content for our wonderful Grade 2』s. As is evident in the videos, we endeavour to include real life videos and pictures in order to make learning exciting and more relatable to our students. This, we believe, assists students to make real life connections and assists in the recalling and memorization of information.
Kylie 老師和我，Layton 老師，實(shí)際上在南非住的非常近，這真的幫助我們?cè)谡n程上進(jìn)行合作，確保我們?yōu)槲覀兙实亩昙?jí)制作令人興奮和有趣的內(nèi)容，我們努力把真實(shí)生活中的視頻和圖片包括進(jìn)來(lái)，以便使學(xué)習(xí)更加激動(dòng)人心，更加貼近學(xué)生。我們相信，這有助于學(xué)生建立現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的聯(lián)系，并有助于回憶和記憶信息。

Our grade two teachers thoroughly enjoy the time of the week when we read to our students. We carefully select the books and the vocabulary we are going to teach.
我們二年級(jí)的老師非常喜歡我們每周給學(xué)生讀書(shū)的時(shí)間。我們仔細(xì)挑選要教的書(shū)和詞匯。

We, as foreign teachers.
我們作為外教老師

As foreign English teachers, our main goal is to ensure that our students master all aspects of the English language; be it reading, writing, listening or speaking. Additionally, we also strive to ensure that, through English language instruction, we enable our learners to use English for communication with people from different cultural backgrounds. This ensures that they will be able to communicate with people from around the world which could lead to endless possibilities. More importantly, it』s about fun. We would like our students to feel excited when they come to our class. We want them to feel that they are able to freely express their own thoughts and ideas in a safe, supporting environment.
作為外籍英語(yǔ)教師，我們的主要目標(biāo)是確保學(xué)生掌握英語(yǔ)的各個(gè)方面，無(wú)論是閱讀、寫(xiě)作、聽(tīng)力還是口語(yǔ)。此外，我們還努力確保通過(guò)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)，使我們的學(xué)習(xí)者能夠使用英語(yǔ)與來(lái)自不同文化背景的人進(jìn)行交流。這將確保他們能夠與來(lái)自世界各地的人交流，這可能會(huì)帶來(lái)無(wú)窮的可能性。更重要的是，英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)是有趣的。我們希望我們的學(xué)生來(lái)上課時(shí)感到興奮。我們希望他們能夠在安全的環(huán)境中自由表達(dá)自己的想法。

We wish that all our students as well as their families remain safe and healthy during this testing period and we, as teachers, look forward to welcoming everyone back to school as soon as possible. Until then, we promise to continue to educate and enrich our students with our online and interactive lessons to ensure uninterrupted learning persists.
我們希望我們所有的學(xué)生和他們的家人在這個(gè)期間保證安全和健康，我們作為教師，期待著大家盡快回到學(xué)校。在此之前，我們承諾繼續(xù)通過(guò)我們的在線(xiàn)和互動(dòng)課程來(lái)教育和豐富我們的學(xué)生，以確保持續(xù)不斷的學(xué)習(xí)。
