TEACHING AWARDS 2012
A Few Words From This Year’s Winners...
Mrs Chen Ing Ru
Centre for Language Studies, ATEA winner
“How would you describe your approach to teaching and educating students?”
When I am teaching, I try to
•
engage the students and get their attention,
•
provide linguistic exposure and meaningful input,
•
encourage discovery learning,
•
understand how my students learn, anticipate their needs and
incorporate them into my teaching.
The pictures on the right were taken during a class activity of the
module LAG2201 German 2. The focused linguistic feature was the
imperative sentence. The students were asked to download and print
out the worksheet and complete the tasks —giving suggestions/advice
—in class by looking through the utterances on the posters. After the
communicative tasks, the students were asked to focus on the forms
and write down the linguistic rules on their own.
