加拿达国际少儿英文学校-淘金学校

  第一次接触全英文课堂的小朋友们带着好奇的心态坐在教室里，他们把自己的英文名字贴在衣服上，等待课堂开始。
  “Hello, What’s your name?” （你叫什么名字？）外教热情地打招呼，亲切地与孩子们进行了第一次交流。利用TPR，伴随一些指令和游戏，引导小朋友们回答。在这个过程中，老师们会给孩子们Dollars（代币）奖励。 Dollars可以用来换取礼品，如Two Circles, Byebye Chairs（木头人游戏）。

  在游戏过程中，孩子们反复练习单词和句子，整个课堂呈现出浓郁的学习氛围。当外教喊出指令“stop”时，有些孩子会维持动作，等待下一个指令。这时，外教夸张的动作总是会让人忍俊不禁，孩子们被逗得开怀大笑。在课堂上，孩子们非常喜爱这种代币奖励游戏，也能快速进入状态并完成指令，获得礼品，真是太棒了！

  第一次来上课的孩子会有不同的表现：有些会哭，不愿意进课室，需要妈妈在旁边陪伴；有些刚接触陌生的环境，不知道自己要干什么；还有些听不懂指令，十分困惑。孩子们天性调皮而敏感，但他们聪明、可塑性强。等到第二次、第三次上课时，这种情况一般都慢慢消失了。哭闹的孩子会甩开妈妈的手大步走向教室，跟老师打招呼；适应了新环境的新同学，开始变得自信，敢于大声说英语；慢慢掌握课堂指令的孩子会协助老师摆好椅子，认真复习。这种变化也会令老师们感动，成就感十足。
  在轻松快乐的气氛中，学习起来往往不会感觉到压力，反而更容易消化吸收课堂内容。合理利用教学环境，辅以有趣的游戏并配合适当的奖励，小朋友们学得开心，学得扎实，乐此不疲。

Rewarding Games for New English Learners
Canadian International Kid's English – Taojin (CTC-TJ)

Children in Canadian International Kid's English – Taojin (CTC-TJ) Students enter the classroom with their English names written on name tags on their clothes, and sit down in their chairs, ready to go.
“Hello, what's your name?” These are the first words from our foreign teacher as they warmly greet the new children. Our foreign teachers use large actions, accompanied with some instructions and games, to guide the children to answer questions. In this process, the foreign teachers can give the children rewards – special Canadian School money. Canadian School money can be used for gifts and toys.
While we play our English games, children repeatedly practice words and sentences, to create a fun learning atmosphere in the classroom. In on game, children walk around the room, performing an action.  when the foreign teacher calls out "stop ",  the children would freeze during the action, waiting for the next instruction to come. However, during this “frozen” time, the foreign teacher tries to make them laugh, and this causes a lot of hilarity throughout the class.  Our students love this kind of game, and can quickly learn the English and instructions that the game is based around.
Many children react differently to their first day in class. Some will cry, and don’t want to enter the classroom. Some are a bit confused by the new environment. However, as they continue to attend classes, they will begin to get used to our classroom, and look forward to attending. Adapting to the new environment, new students become self - confident, daring to speak English loudly. Some children will even help the teacher begin to set-up the classroom.
A relaxed atmosphere allows for students to feel less pressure in learning a whole new language.
