Thank you for your comments and suggestions.And we will bear it in mind and try to improve ourselves.

Well, we think the principles are very important and want to all of you can remember some of them. Therefore, Wendy put it at last, and asked some students to read them.

Summary We learned background knowledge of language teaching and learning from presentation. It is divided into three parts, views of language, views of teaching and learning. As for views of language, it consists of the structural view, the communicative or functional view and the interactional view. Besides, the views of learning is about the behaviorist position, the innatist position and the interactionist position. And we also learn that a qualified teacher should have the ability to show or help students to learn how to do something, give instructions, guide in the study of something, provide with knowledge, cause to understand.
Comments:

I have to say all of the girls have done a good job. They not only conveyed a wealth of information to us in fluent English, but also prepared many examples which makes it easier for us to understand the definition in the textbook. But I think there's still room for improvement. Firstly, I think taking good control of the teaching process, such as slow down a little bit or repeat the difficult part more than one time, would make it easier for students keep up with the lesson. Secondly, the learning points can be listed in a more structured manner. Sometimes, generalizing every main point a little bit enables us students get to know the main structure of the lesson better. Lastly, I suggest that examples be more typical and close to our daily life as well. It's very important for us to understand such theoretical knowledge.

Suggestions:

1. The content. The content was well organized, but the suggestion is to highlight the most important points.
2. The language. The speaking speed is a little fast, being slower is better. And when the speaker offered a question, there is no pause for thinking. Maybe next time, you can leave some time.
3. The delivery. Do not be nervous, try to loosen yourself and avoid stiff facial expressions. 4. The PPT. We are hoping that you can lessen the words and enlarge the font size in one cover. Besides, please make sure your PPT functions well. We think PPT is just a tool to help you remember your points and list the important information, do not read the whole cover. 5. The interaction. The discussion part is somewhat time-consuming.
Questions:
1. Why did your group put views of learning in front of views of teaching istead of teaching according to the textbook? Did you do that on purpose or just think the sequence doesn't matter？ 2. Why didn't you list the four higher-lever attributes of effective teaching in the summary part just like views of language and learning? 3. You raises a question in the "topic to discuss" part: Which plays a more important role in our language learning, the behavior or the innate ability? Why here th interactinist isn't included?

Summary:

We learned the background knowledge of language teaching and learning from the views of language (explained from the structural view, the communicative or functional view and the interactional view), the views of learning (explained from the behaviorist position, the innatist position and the interactionist position) and the views of teaching (mainly explained from our discussion on what good qualities should effective teachers have).

Comments:

The presentation was excellent. First, the first group which finished the presentation should be encouraged. Because they set up an example for us and they had much shorter time for the defined preparation than anyone of us and they shown a completed topic discussion. Second, the presentation was well organized. At the beginning, Vicky told us her group’s division of work and a brief introduction of their topic discussion aspects, that made a clear profile. At the same time, they set up many forms of audience interaction, like asking connecting questions and inviting us to read, and they also used many interesting story and dialogues to center our attention. And third, the presentation was informative. We can get a lot information from their well-organized presentation, and during the presentation we can also get our own opinions by our thinking. And I think a good presentation is not the one which can get almost scores from our presentation evaluation form but has made the presentation understood and has its own shining point. However, some pages of their PPT contained too much information, and it’s hard to get all of it at once. And it’s better to explain some of the new concepts before they were mentioned or used.

Suggestions:

They are familiar with the content and it’s better to have less words on the PPT pages. All the conceptions they taught were new to us, so in the presentation they should give us examples to explain them, it is a good way for student to make a clear conception. In this side, they did a good job and all of us should learn from them.

Questions:

How do you appraise your presentation? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

# data[].attributes.body
summary:

At the presentation, we have learned the three views of the language, which are the structural view, the communicative view and the interactional view.Beside, the whole class also discussed the basic qualities of the effective teachers. At last, we learned several views of learning.

comments and suggestions

Firstly, we’d like to state several advantages of this group.

1. The content was well organized. The group members strictly followed the orders of the text, and the audience could easily understand the sequence of their thoughts.

2. The content was supported by some interesting instances. I remembered when it was on Vicky’s part, she applied several examples to illustrate the “boring” theories, which could easily help the audiences get involved in the presentation. Nevertheless, I think this advantages stands out among the all.

Then, there is  one aspect that needs to be improved.

1. The speaker should try to avoid the grammatical mistakes at the presentation. Generally speaking, most of the speakers speak very fluently and clearly, however, I think the accuracy matters most while give a presentation, the best way to avoid the mistakes, in my opinion, is to slow down the speed of speaking.

question:

Where do you search for the related materials of this topic apart from the textbook?

# data[].attributes.body
Summary

We learned about views of language, strategies of teaching , proper qualities for teachers and three learning patterns, all of which are very important for FLT.

Comments & Suggestions

This group has done a wonderful job, giving us a clear instruction about the content. The usage of practical examples is not only humorous, but also very thought-provoking. And the discussion session

really gets all the audience to brainstorm, gathering all the brilliant ideas together. Besides, we think the

speakers can do a better job if the pronunciation and grammar is enhanced. But all in all, thank G1 for all

their hard work and applaud for them!

Questions

How do you evaluate your own presentation? `(*∩_∩*)′

# data[].attributes.body
Summary

1. Knowledge about LTL: we learned different views towards language and the relevant teaching methods as well as views of learning; we learned and discussed about the concept of teaching and qualities a teacher should have.

2. About presentation: we learned from group 1 about how to present in a clear and well-organized way.

Comments

The whole presentation is very good. Speakers' fluent and clear expression, the use of specific examples and the informative content improve the presentation. Eye contact as well as the discussion gets audiences involved, which attracts their interests. Although we benefit a lot from the presentation, speakers need to notice the conciseness and changing speed of PPT.

Suggestions

1. The speaker's speed is a little difficult for us to catch what he said, so he'd better slow down.

2.Words on some pages of PPT should be more concise.

3.They should check PPT more carefully before presentation.

Questions

1.What is the difference between the communitive or functional view and the interactional view of language?

2.Why did they talk about the view of learning before the view of teaching but not follow the order in the book?

3.Where did you find the examples to support your statement?

Finally, we really appreciate all the efforts you have made to give such an excellent presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you all giving us such a wonderful presentation.

Our summary: We learned three views of language. They are the structural view, the functional view and the interactional view. We also learned views of teaching, through which we know that what qualities a teacher should have to be a qualified. Besides, we learned views of learning, including behaviorist position, the innatist position and the interactional position

Our comments: Really thank you for giving us such a wonderful presentation! We really learnt a lot from your hard work. You gave us useful information and interesting examples and some materials for further study! Really appreciate it! We now have a overall understanding of the views of language, teaching and learning!

Our suggestions: 1)Vicky may speak a little bit slow so that we can try our best to follow you. You know not everyone can react so quickly as others! ☺

2)And when teaching different views, you may list their unique points, their advantages and disadvantage so that we can grab the essential part of the item.

3)As for Aretha's part, you may make the example easy to understand.

4)After answering the questions, we expect to be given a feedback.

Our questions: How long did you prepare your presentation? Can you give us some practical suggestions! We are just on the way!

At last Thank you again!

Ringing in the classroom, still

Having a dream about

You,

The rose blossom in my

Heart. I

Miss you so much.

May I dance with you,

A charming girl ?

Suddenly,

Teacher comes in,

Erupting into fury, and I

Roused from my dream.

This is the name of a interesting game, maybe you are familar with it. There are

several reasons why we choose this name: 1). If you want to finish the game, first,

you have to obey the rules. 2).Sometimes, we need to work together to win the game.

3). Although there will be some difficulties on the way to success, yet, there will

als o be happiness waiting for us, so we should enjoy the process.

That's the reasons, and we will help each other and work together! Fighting!!!

PS: About the poem, we are thinking because the name is a little bit long. But we
