Teaching Is Learning

Long long ago, some one said, “Teaching and learning  promote and enhance each other.”From two years teaching, I learned that teaching is learning. When I prepared lessons, I learned more knowledges. When I had lessons, I learned  more methods from my students. After class, from self-examination, I knew what I should study hard.

 Now I’d like to share one of my teaching stories with you.

When I taught fruits, first I learned more fruits words than the onesin  the  book  and  prepared some  teaching  methods.

 In the class, according to the situation,I designed to use a guessing game. I described one fruit, then the students guessed. For example, the riddle is “It’s round, it’s sour or sweet , it’s juicy,it’s red or green or purple or pink or yellow.” The answer is grape. But as we know,  the students like to say the answer before we say start.When I said it’s round.They guessed immediately.Some students shouted “apple”! Some students shouted “ watermelon”! Some students shouted “ plum”! And so on.I was surprised .   So many answers!But I was very happy ,because I believed that it’s a good practice method. It’s better than what I designed. So I used this method at once. I smiled to them and said, “ Which one is right? Please continue to listen to me ,OK?” They said “OK” together cheerfully, then listened to me quietly. I continue to say“It’s sour or sweet.”This time, they didn’t say “watermelon”. Then we continue to guess. Their answers became less and less. At last they said the right answer “grape”. We felt the guessing game was very interesting and helpful. It’s beneficial to arouse the students’ imagination. It’s beneficial to improve the students’ thinking ability. This case made me deeply  understand that teaching is learning! Do you think so?

 Personally in my opinion, to be a good teacher, we should think about that how to teach our students well. The most important is to be a knowledgeable person. We should learn from many persons and many things, because teaching is learning!
