跟外教提升英语实操技能

　继“英国女孩Fran,你身边的伦敦音”系列外教口语VOB节目之后，为了进一步激发我院学生学习英语的热情，提升学生讲英语的能力，开展新一期的外教口语VOB节目，届时着重培养我院学生口语实战能力。

　　外教Scott

　　Scott Powers Houston，美籍外教，也许一份朴实无华的简历不足以调配Scott色彩丰富的人生。带着不断自我塑造的人生目标和怡然自得的生活态度，Scott就像沉香，从容而不露锋芒。

　　欧洲、北美游历之余，Scott享受着雇佣与自雇的工作乐趣。曾全职工作于好莱坞，并于2005年成为美国演员工会一员，期间创作完成17部电影剧本。

　　Scott的教学工作开始于中国。2007年在我国内蒙古一家英语教材出版公司担任总经理。2008年正式走上教师岗位，在蒙古国首都乌兰巴托的 Hartford Institute(后改名为莱佛士学院)担任英语教师。2010年于印度班加罗尔教授英语。随后，回到蒙古国开发72小时在线英语课程，并且兼任节目主持人、网站编辑、自由撰稿人等媒体工作。2011年获得乌拉巴托大学英语教育学学位。

         往期回顾  

        外教Joel  

　　Joel Reniker ，美籍外教，2007年毕业于乔治梅森大学，获得政府与国际政治专业文学士学位。2010年获得中国人民大学国际关系学院，当代中国研究项目文学硕士学位。曾在清华大学项目留学通、北京现代管理大学等任职。现任职于北京外国语大学国际商学院、北京外国语大学同文教育发展培训中心。

　　外教Joel具有丰富的英语教学经验，教学时长八年以上、创建超过1000页原创教材。主要教授英语口语教学、雅思/托福考前辅导、口音训练，学术写作，研究方法等课程。

　　如何提高口语实操技能，看看外教Joel的方案：

　　- We will do several conversation exercises.

　　- In each exercise, I introduce the topic and explain what to do.

　　- Then I ask YOU for answers; an answer is normally 2-3 statements; try to express yourself!

　　- We talk together about the answers.

　　- Ask questions any time(but please, stay on topic).

　　Joel的节目采取总分的授课模式，围绕当次节目主题进行发散式渐进引导。首先，阐述主题。再次，进行文化渗透式的举例分析。最后，说出你的观点。由此希望可以帮助同学们在理解中美文化差异的基础上，针对你身边的生活，围绕主题进行概括性学习，力求将英语运用到实际生活中，进而提高英语口语实操技能。
