5月30日下午两点，国培中心宝安教学点本学期第十三次外籍教师专业技能培训在宝安教学点的多媒体教室顺利开展，来自宝安各个学校的40名外教及国培办公室工作人员参加了此次培训。

今天的培训主要讲述两大内容。一是导师评课标准，另一个是在课堂上如何有效地运用歌曲。导师Eddy首先给外教们讲述了当导师去听课时，他们的打分标准。课堂纪律多少分，课堂气氛多少分，课程目标怎样写才能更清晰等非常详细的标准。通过这样的讲述，外教们知道了在教学中需要注意的问题。我们也希望外教的课程可以越来越好。

This week’s training focuses on two major topics. One which was the assessment tool for Foreign Teachers and the other was how to use songs effectively in the classroom. Mentor Eddy first explained to the Foreign Teachers about the assessment tool used by the mentors when they observe a class. This included the class management, the class atmosphere and the lesson objective and so on. Through this explanation, Foreign Teachers were made aware of the key principles important within teaching. We hope that our Foreign Teachers’ classes can continuously grow from strength to strength.

歌曲运用SONGS

接下来就是我们本次培训的重点内容了，歌曲在课堂中的应用。Eddy先放一首《Baby》热身，然后就开始进行正式的讲述。当在课堂使用歌曲时，外教应该注意哪些问题呢？

So, here comes the song part. Eddy played a warm-up song, with which he then asked Jamie and Beth to get involved and collaborate on the song with him! When using songs in the classroom, what things should teachers pay close attention to?

唱前要先教。歌曲和课堂一样，同样也注重输入和输出。想要他们大声歌唱的话，一定要提前教给他们。

Teach first! If you want them to sing a certain way, be sure to teach them what you expect first before letting them sing. Guide them.

跑调也OK。对于学生来说，你不一定要求他们唱的特别准确，稍微跑调也是OK的，开心学歌曲才是最重要的。

Don’t expect students to sing the song correctly straight away. It’s okay for students to not sing as accurately and to make mistakes (This is all part of the learning process). It's important for them to just be happy and feel comfortable when learning English songs.

重复是王道。怎样才能学会一首歌呢？那就是不断地唱。Beth老师说对于四年级以下的学生来说，外教可以每周都放同一首歌曲，这样他们可以学得更好。

Once a song has been established and learnt, you are then able to use the same song most Weeks. Our teacher Beth said that for students below grade 4, you are able to play the same song every week and they will not grow bored by the same song.

歌词很重要。有些歌词可能并不适合学生。所以老师在挑选歌曲时一定要特别谨慎，要选择学生喜欢的并适合他们的歌曲。某些时候甚至可以让学生自己挑选他们想要唱的歌，这样他们会唱得更卖力哦。

Song lyrics are important. The lyrics of some songs may not be appropriate for students, so teachers must be very careful when selecting songs. From time to time, it could be a great idea for teachers to let students choose songs which can encourage them to sing and get involved.
