一位国际上久负盛名的英国英语教学专家（Jeremy Harmer）,昨晚花了50多分钟看了一场他做的关于《Motivating the unmotivated》的视频。一位精神矍铄的老者在演讲时所迸发出来的激情和幽默感，以及在开场1两分钟就能让人感受到的一个中亲和，是在国内的种种演讲（关于学术类的）中所体会不到的。

下面是在演讲中所迸发出的思想火花：

       Five “A's”  Activity, Affect, Attitude,Agency,Adaptation

A goog teacher is ....

"Someone who asks the people who don't always put their hands up."

"Someone who cares about their students and understands what they want to know."

"Someone who knows our names."

                      The language--learning contract

           TEACHER                                          LEARNER

As your teacher I will                            As a learner I will

As your teacher I expect                          As a learner I expect

   PS.  在 Jeremy Harmer 的《How to teach English》中介绍了，当今语言学影响较大的物种教学流派：

1，语法翻译法   2， 听说法     3，三P法（Presentaion,Practice,Production）4,活动中心法（Task-based learning） 5,交际法（Communicative Language Learning ）

  人的精力有限，看到Jeremy Harmer 在他的英语教学中所作出的贡献以及所倾注的汗水，在脑中只能涌现出两个字“致敬”！
