E-learning and E-training
With
the rapid development of technology and people’s
demand for education mounting,
so-called
e-learning, or on-line long distance education,
has become very popular and important in
China. In some areas, e-learning has played a
role traditional classroom education cannot
accomplish.
Approximately 90 per cent of
the world’s new information is stored and
retrieved in English.
It is vital for China to
use the Olympics as a catalyst to boost English
acquisition to prepare itself
or the digital
revolution. To prepare for the Beijing 2008
Olympic Games, at least 6 million
Chinese,
including staff for the organizing committee, and
in the service, retail, police, volunteer,
technical and medical support sectors,
reportedly need to improve their English language
skills.
E-learning breaks down the barriers of
time and location, integrating education
resources.
When compared with traditional ways
of teaching and learning, it is far more cost-
effective for
both the teachers and the
students.
Teacher-centered or Student-
centered Class (233 words)
Today in China
there exists side by side two different teaching
patterns: A teacher-oriented
class and a
student-oriented class. And the differences
between them are obvious.
A teacher-oriented
class is a typical traditional passive class. No
doubt it is a natural
product of the deep-
rooted examination-oriented education. And there
are several characteristics
in this kind of
class. To begin with, a teacher is the main actor
on the stage and all the students
are passive
audience. Besides, he imparts knowledge to his
students in the same way he pours
water into a
container, never bothering to ignite the sparks or
enthusiasm in students.
In contrast, a
student-centered class is a kind of new active
class, resulting from the
quality-oriented
education system. Naturally, it’s a newcomer of
the education reform. The
main characteristic
of this kind of class is that the teacher and
students are all actors and all the
students
are actively involved in the classroom activities.
Besides, the teacher always tries to
instill a
love of learning in students and stimulates their
interest. As a result, students always
find it
a pleasure to sit in class, asking questions,
discussing or even arguing with the teacher.
It goes without saying that I prefer the
active student-oriented class, not merely because
it’s
fun, but because it can make may
knowledge permanent. . What’s more important, it
can develop
my creative mind and learning
ability.
Exam-oriented or Quality-
oriented
At present there exists side by
side two contradictory educational systems: the
traditional
exam-oriented system and the new
quality-oriented one, which leads to a heated
nationwide
discussion as to which is
preferable.
The exam-oriented educational
pattern is the inevitable result of the existing
exam
assessment system. In order to climb into
the ‘ivory tower’ or work for their degrees,
students
are cramming data and facts only for
exams and forget all the information right after
the exams.
What’s worse, when students become
interested in testing techniques, they gradually
lose their
freedom and creativity. As a
result, they always bury themselves in multiple
choices and never
attach importance to
practical ability and originality.
In
contrast, the quality-oriented educational pattern
stresses the creativity of students and
their
all-round development. Students are not expected
to memorize information mechanically
.
.
and passively as computers. Instead,
they are encouraged to do some creative work
actively and
independently as the programmers
of computers. In this pattern, what students aim
at is no
longer their academic performances,
but their practical abilities.
No doubt, what
the new quality-oriented pattern aims to train and
bring up are not merely
learners successful in
studies, but responsible citizens fit in health,
rich in knowledge and
competent in their work.
Therefore, it’s high time we reformed our existing
exam assessment
system and adopted the new
one.
Be a Graduate Student or Not
According to the reform of our educational system,
postgraduates will have to pay tuition to
colleges or universities. This brings a
dilemma to many undergraduates – to be a
postgraduate
or to get employed.
The
main reason for the dilemma is that, on the one
hand, they know their parents can’t
afford the
tuition, and they don’t like to see their parents
take on further financial burden for them.
During the four-year undergraduate study,
their parents have already paid a lot of money for
their
education and living. Especially the
students whose parents are farmers or laid-off
workers are
more worried about this. But on
the other hand, they want to pursue study further,
to learn more
knowledge and skills in order to
make greater contribution to the society in the
future.
In my opinion, they should get out
of the difficult situation and go on with their
study as
postgraduates. As far as the tuition
is concerned, they can always find some ways to
fund it.
They can do some part-time jobs in
their spare time, or loan some money from their
relatives or
friends or simply banks. They can
also try to obtain some scholarship by studying
hard and
doing well in their research work.
So don’t hesitate, study hard and try to
become a graduate student. The future will be more
promising.
English Teaching in
China
Some people say that English teaching
in China is a total failure. After ten years of
English
learning, most graduates can’t
properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they
translate
between languages with confidence,
let alone write in English.
As far as
college English teaching is concerned, there are
three main reasons that help bring
about the
problem. To begin with, College English teaching
is, to a great extent, teacher-centered,
turning a language class into a lecture on
grammar. It is still very common that the teacher
explains every language point in detail, with
students taking notes all the time. Secondly,
culture
is neglected in English teaching. Some
outdated materials and a great deal of grammar
exercises
in the book mislead students to pay
too much attention to separate words and
grammatical rules.
Finally, test-oriented
education, in a sense, leads astray language
teaching in China. For example,
the nationwide
College English Test is so over-emphasized in some
colleges that teacher teach just
for the sake
of test, and students learn nothing other than
testing techniques. As a result,
students’
language competence is weakened though the passing
rate has increased.
Therefore, in my opinion,
English teaching in China should be reformed. The
education
should be oriented towards all-round
development of personal qualities. And language
abilities
should be given priority in language
teaching and learning.

We Need to Learn How to Learn
Influenced by the new marketing system, students
have quite different opinions about the
objective of their study. Some of them hold
that a diploma is certainly something they are in
college for. They believe that the diploma
will enlarge the opportunities in their job-
hunting.
So their college life is almost
focused completely on book learning.
Others
tend to challenge themselves to learn more than a
diploma requires. They believe
that it is most
important to widen personal interests and develop
various abilities while at college.
For this
purpose, they have every reason to pride
themselves on excellent academic
achievements
in subjects they teach themselves beyond their
majors.
As a college student, I firmly
believe that college is a place where we learn how
to learn.
We should take best advantage of the
chance to broadly – math, history, and various
other
sciences, not merely for a diploma. On
the other hand, it is also quite necessary that we
take a
wide interest in computer, foreign
languages or other practical disciplines rather
than just confine
ourselves to textbooks, so
that we could become versatile candidates in the
future job markets.
Only in this way can we
keep up with the times.
