What Chinese Students Expect

found on-line by Mario Rinvolucri, UK

1. I want to meet a kind, warm-hearted and inspiring teacher.
2. I want well-prepared and well-organized class.
3. I hope the teacher can help enhance my interest towards English learning through vivid methods, such as games, songs, short plays, stories, etc.
4. I want to experience the native like class.
5. I hope the teacher can correct my pronunciation.
6. I hope the teacher will show me the way a foreigner thinks.
7. I want to know something about western culture.
8. I hope the teacher will not use complicated words and sentences that prevent me from understanding.
9. I hope the teacher will not speak too fast.
10. I don't want the teacher to encourage "free" discussion a lot. In that situation only students with better capability talk, which will reduce the chances for shy students. If I am a shy student, I want the teacher to give me some "push".
11. I want to learn "real" English with slang and idioms.
12. I hope the teacher will not follow the textbook rigidly. Better bring something of life and culture into the class.
13. I hope the teacher will give me correction and evaluation as well as encouragement.
14. I want to know the kind of English that is not used to pass exams.
15. I think systematic teaching in a free-chatting way for the students to learn the spirit of the language is the perfect.
