This should be my last few classes, and I probably won't have many more opportunities to take classes on AmazingTalker after. So please take a look at my experiences in these three months of classes. Over the past three months, I've taken classes with three teachers, each of whom has taught more than five classes. The first was the American teacher, Teacher T, the second was the American teacher, Teacher J, and the third was Teacher Jack.
Teacher T
He is a professional instructor from a major test center. During the classes, he often praised me for speaking well, even though my English was...um far from perfect, he still praised me very generously, which made me feel embarrassed. Throughout the class sessions, which were usually 50 minutes long, he mostly lectured on his exam strategies for 49mins. While my main purpose in attending the class was to practice TOEFL speaking, it turned out to be TOEFL listening practice, which I found unhelpful. As a result, I stopped attending. In summary, despite numerous reminders about the lack of speaking opportunities and requests for changes, he continued teaching according to his old materials.
Teacher J
He is a professional business English instructor. At the beginning of the class, the teacher used self-developed materials to allow students to practice speaking and learn through various teaching methods such as filling in the blanks, making sentences, and answering questions based on videos. However, around the fifth class, I felt that the class was not quite suitable for academic TOEFL preparation but rather everyday English. Some grammar topics were too simple, such as "sth is as adj as sth," which seems more appropriate for elementary-level English. Additionally, some topics discussed, like travel and tourism, were unnecessary for the TOEFL exam. The playback speed of the class videos was too slow, making it difficult for me to understand and providing no help for TOEFL listening. Despite my reminders to play the videos at normal speed, the teacher consistently played them at 0.5x speed. Eventually, I gave up reminding, whatever.... This teacher was similar to the previous one in continuously praising me for speaking well and for my great viewpoints, without correcting my grammar or pronunciation errors.
Teacher Jack
I initially chose to take classes with Jack with a "let's give it a try" attitude, as there were only three weeks left before the TOEFL exam, and I had already wasted three months with two pervious teachers. So, I didn't have high expectations. At the beginning of the course, although Jack said he had no experience teaching TOEFL, he did his homework thoroughly before the second class and taught based on TOEFL questions. The teacher occasionally pointed out my mistakes and offered different perspectives during discussions. For example, when we discussed artificial intelligence, I expressed my support for its ability to enhance work efficiency. However, Jack, who works in the technology industry, disagreed with the application of AI because he believes it won't promote human learning but rather lead to complacency. He had insightful discussions on various topics, including Taiwan-China relations, Taiwan-US relations, political issues, science, and psychology. Most importantly, he gave me ample opportunities to speak in class, allowing me to practice speaking.
Finally, I think Taiwanese people really need to consider how to improve their English. Is it by constantly being praised as "excellent, well done! wow amazing!!!" by teachers who keep you living in a fantasy, or by having a teacher who is willing to tell you the truth and correct you? I believe that knowing one's weaknesses is the key to improvement. The first two teachers, who always praised me as "Excellent, well done! bra bra bra" This behaviour has already deprived me of my learning ability. They have taken away my ability to think! On the other hand, if a teacher can occasionally offer different perspectives, it can not only make your brain work but also improve learning outcome.
