That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in for seventeen years, I had no about my ability to hold their attention and to on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
My students diaries.However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 49 by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a theme."Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
, I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
