题目:giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. with the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. to what extent do you agree or disagree?
翻译:先来给大家一个词汇解释,相信auditorium这个词很多同学可能不认识,auditorium 可数名词: a large public building where meetings, concerts, etc. are held剧院;礼堂;音乐厅 --- 这个词在本题中既泛指教室,真实课堂。
教师在传统课堂中为学生们上课是一种老旧的教学模式。随着科技的发展,这种教学形式在今天没有存在的意义,所有课程教学都应当在线完成,你多大程度上同意或不同意这一观点。
话题:科技类-科技改变教学形式
类型:同意与否类
关键词: giving lectures in auditoriums, everything should be done online
解析:这道题目的本质就是让我们对比传统教育和在线教育,指出两者的优劣然后得出一个结论:传统教育是否还有存在价值。读书至今,相信小伙伴们都对传统教学形式比较熟悉,大家在一个教室中集中听老师上课,这种‘强迫型的聚集’对学生自觉性依赖度小。坐在教室中,即便可能走走神,犯会困,大部分情况下也还是会集中精力听讲的。对于老师而言,课堂活动也比较好组织,一些任务型的教学活动需要学生们以小组形式合作完成,在真实课堂当中相对是比较好开展的。而弊端就在于时间地点并不灵活。
今年的新冠病毒出现,不少学校不能按时开学,都开展了网上教学,于是网课一下成为热点。朋友圈中,微博,知乎上不少教师同仁以及学生都在吐槽网络质量不佳,学生参与方式死板,参与度低,影响课堂质量,不利于健康等等。小编自己的观点是网课不适用于幼儿教育+大部分的青少年课程,比较适用于高中,大学+成人教育。单以英语来讲,幼儿及青少年集中注意力的时间短,需要多样的课堂活动来不断吸引他们的注意力,提高他们的学习兴趣,网课在这一点上表现平平,当然也许随着技术的发展,网络授课软件可以演化出更复杂多样的功能,届时也许可以解决这一问题,但至少现在,没有哪个软件在此处做的很突出,对于年龄小的学习者,网络教育只可以是辅助而不能成为主体。对于年龄大一些的学生,学习动机明确,自主性强,网课对于他们而言,提供了更多的便捷,学习方式和时间都比较灵活,且可以反复回看,可谓是便宜高效。
好啦,说了这么多,给大家一些可以在自己作文中用的好句子:
even though e-learning has become an education equalizer, it’s still not a replacement for the traditional classroom. sure, the technology is advancing, but it’s not flawless. just like any new, burgeoning innovation, e-learning faces its own challenges.
from the teacher’s perspective, they can see where students get lost in a lesson and grade assignments with the click of a button.
if a platform(指在线课堂所使用的软件/平台) could actually cater content and interaction around the individual user—their speed, their interests, their location—then e-learning could give them the ability to learn whatever they want, from wherever they want.
some students need the push to get to class. online students who know they can do it at “their own pace” may procrastinate(拖延).
9分范文:
technology has changed every aspect of our life(我们生活的方方面面) including the way we learn and teach. nowadays it is possible to earn degrees online. online forums allow you to ask questions on any topic and receive answers within a matter of minutes. however, i still believe that online education cannot replace classroom-based learning and teaching.
(开头段:引出话题+给出观点- 要点:1)此开头写了4句话,大家在自己的文章开头段一般写2-3句即可,不要过长,但是一定要给出明确的观点 2) 大家注意cannot这个词的写法,首先是连着写的不要分开写成 can not,另外请注意不要简写成can’t,学术写作我们尽量避免简写)
online learning has its advantages. you can learn from the comforts of your home. the flexible learning hours are a boon(福利,恩惠-对于很多可以类的题目我们都可以使用这个词,technology can be regarded as a boon for ….对于…而言某项科技发明为其带来了巨大福利 ) for people who cannot afford to spend 6 or 7 hours in the classroom. also, the internet has made it possible for learners to find teachers from any part of the world. so, for example, a student who wants to learn spanish can find spanish teachers online and learn from her home. she does not have to go to spain or find an institution that teaches spanish in her country.(此处给出具体的例子---这一点需要大家借鉴,在自己的写作中如果论证过程中能尽量给出这样具体到人、地方、事件的例子,会为你的文章大大加分)
(网络授课的好处)
online learning has its disadvantages too. since there is no one to supervise your work or evaluate your progress you need a great amount of motivation(此处注意motivation的修饰使用) and discipline to complete your course successfully. distractions are a real problem for students doing online programs.
(网络授课的弊端)
by contrast, classroom learning does not have many of these drawbacks. the best thing about classroom learning is that it creates an ambiance(气氛,氛围) conducive(有助于,利于) to learning. in a class you are surrounded by other students who also want to score higher grades. this encourages you to work harder. in addition, subjects like medicine and engineering cannot be taught online because the emphasis is on practical not theory(再一次给出了非常具体的例子).
(教室授课的好处)
to conclude, online learning may have its benefits, but i still feel that classroom learning is superior(优于) to online learning. that said, the internet and information technology have endless possibilities. both students and teachers will benefit a lot if they take advantage of the power of the internet in the classroom.
