由于疫情的影響，春節假期前兩周的清瀾山小學生轉戰線上課堂。短時間內，清瀾小學部英語組的老師們各顯神通，將自己多年積累的“黑科技”應用到英文課堂上，通過大量有趣、互動的活動，提高孩子們的學習興趣與效果，保證了正常的教學目標進度。
To lessen the impact the epidemic could have on Tsinglan Primary School students, we switched to online classes for the two weeks before Spring Festival holiday. English teachers quickly prepared with skills developed over years of teaching in person and online. With many exciting and interactive activities, children’s learning continued in an effective way and made progress as planned and expected by teachers.

及時評估，寓教于樂
Making Assessments Immediate and Entertaining
為了及時了解學生的學習情況，老師們使用了Quizizz、Kahoot以及Gimkit等多種有趣的在線教育工具。
To increase student interest and participation in online classes, teachers have used several engaging education tools like Quizizz, Kahoot, and Gimkit.
Quizizz是一款很棒的形成性評價工具。通過在線工具老師可以將問題或小測試以游戲化的形式呈現出來，從而極大地提高學生的參與度與興趣。與此同時，學生可以及時獲得正確答案與老師的反饋，也可以實時在排行榜上看到自己的位置哦。對于競爭性選手來說，這個過程真的太刺激了！
Quizizz is a great formative assessment tool. Teachers can present questions or quizzes as games. This significantly improves students" efforts. At the same time, students can get the correct answer and feedback instantly from the teacher and see their position on a leaderboard in real-time. For competitive players, this learning process is fascinating! As an added bonus, teachers get a clear picture of each student’s understanding.
上圖是在譚老師的五年級英文文法課堂，學生們學習“完成時”語法知識，并通過Quizizz進行練習。此游戲旨在考核學生靈活運用過去完成時、現在完成時以及將來完成時的情況。可以看出多數學生都取得了令人滿意的成績呢，這也直接展示了在線課堂的學習效果!
The picture above is from Ms. Tan"s fifth-grade ELA class. Students learn about perfect tense grammar and practice it through Quizizz. This game assesses students" command of past, present, and future perfect tenses. Most of the students achieved high scores, which directly shows the effectiveness of learning in the online classroom!
上圖是在易老師三年級的英文文法課堂上，學生們閱讀說明文，了解人類如何從蝙蝠身上得到靈感并發明了一種實用的拐杖。精讀過后，孩子們完成了Quizizz問答游戲，從上圖可以看出每位同學都選出了正確答案呢!
In Ms. Yi"s third-grade class, students read the explanatory text and learned how people got inspiration from bats to invent something new, biomimicry. After close reading, children completed a Quizizz question-and-answer game. In the picture above, each student chose the correct answer!
上圖是魏老師的三年級英文文法課上，孩子們在老師的引導下精讀信息類文學作品，課上進行互動問答以深入理解作者的意圖并學習詞匯技巧，如詞根/詞綴等。之后孩子們進入老師提前設計好的Quizizz互動游戲，完成了閱讀理解題。在孩子們做題的過程中，老師都會停下來講解，系統也會在做完每道題后顯示正確答案，這樣不但增強了課堂活動的參與度、互動性，也增加了答案反饋的及時性。
In Ms. Wei’s the third-grade ELA class, children closely read for details and took part in interactive questions and answers under the teacher’s guidance. Doing so allowed them to deeply understand the author"s intention and learn vocabulary skills, such as roots and affixes. Afterward, children entered their Quizizz interactive game designed by the teacher in advance and completed the reading comprehension questions. When students were answering questions, the teacher stopped to explain. The system displayed the correct answer after each question. This not only enhanced the participation and interaction but also increased the speed for feedback.
GimKit也是非常有效的在線教學工具，其采用游戲方式讓學生相互協作、鞏固課 堂所學。
GimKit is another effective online teaching tool. It uses games to allow students to collaborate and reinforce what they have learned in the classroom.
上圖為Mr. Smith在他的英文文學課上，通過GimKit對過去一周的學習內容進行鞏固和復習。學生們需要通過回答問題獲取積分才能更好地進行游戲。學中玩，玩中學，怪不得學生們都迫不及待地進入每天的在線英文文學課!
The picture above shows Mr. Smith in 4th grade reviewing content of the past week through GimKit in his literature class. Students need to earn points by answering questions and playing more intently. Playing to learn is learning through play, no wonder students can"t wait to get into their online English literature class!
Kahoot作為最流行的在線教學工具之一，也同Quizizz類似為學生搭建了游戲化的過程性評價平臺，讓他們可以通過游戲競答的方式積極參與到課堂中。
As one of the most popular online teaching tools, Kahoot, like Quizizz, has built a program for testing students through games. This allows students to actively learn through game competitions.
上圖為Mr. Harris的英文文學課堂，學生們在閱讀了“Inspired By Nature”之后，在Kahoot上進行了趣味問答，老師以此來衡量學生對文章的理解程度。手速最快、答案最精準的小伙伴也成功登上了領獎臺。是不是很有趣？
The picture above shows Mr. Harris"s English literature class. After reading Inspired by Nature, students had an exciting question-and-answer activity on Kahoot! The teacher used the Q&A session to measure student understanding of the article. The student with the fastest clicks and the most accurate answers was allowed to stand atop the podium.
Padlet實時跟蹤課堂表現與課下作業
Padlet tracks class performance and homework in real-time
網課期間課下作業如何跟蹤？小學部的英語老師們將科技工具Padlet引入課堂，有些老師創建Padlet Bookshelf Wall，孩子們擁有自己的一列電子書架，將每日作業拍照上傳或者直接鍵盤打字，還能及時得到老師的評語和批改哦。孩子們互相學習，與同伴共勉、進步的體驗太棒了！
What’s the best way to collect homework during online classes? English teachers in the primary school introduced the tool Padlet into the classroom. Some teachers created Padlet Bookshelf. Each student has their own e-bookshelf where they can upload photos of daily homework, or directly type on the keyboard and received the teacher’s comments and corrections quickly. The experience students learning from each other, encouraging each other, and making progress with their peers was an excellent sight!
上圖為魏老師給三年級孩子們建的Padlet書面作業墻，網課期間，解決了老師無法及時收筆記本、檢查筆記本的問題。同時，開通了點贊功能，孩子還可以相互學習與點贊哦。同伴的影響之下，孩子們的作業完成率都提高了。
The picture above shows a Padlet of homework built by Ms. Wei’s third grade class. During online class, it solved the problem that the teacher could not collect and check notebooks effectively. At the same time, the like function is enabled, and children can learn from each other and like each other’s posts. Under the influence of peers, the homework completion rate has increased.
上圖為Mr. Barger使用Padlet收集的五年級學生課堂任務。學生們可以看到彼此的課堂成果，老師也能很好地了解學生的在線學習情況，更好的把握教學進度。
The picture above shows Mr. Barger using Padlet to both inform students clearly of their homework and to collect classroom assignments from fifth-grade students. Students can see each other"s results and the teacher can better understand students" online learning and control the pace and give feedback.
如上圖，在Mr. Smith的英文文學課上，每位同學選擇了一位改變世界的名人并且積極探索、寫下了這位名人的事跡以及他/她是如何改變世界的。自主選擇權、學習主動權再此交到學生們手中，他們通過Padlet共同完成了這個項目，老師為同學們豐富的知識儲備和極高的參與度感到欣喜!
In Mr. Smith"s English literature class, each student chose a celebrity or historical figure, then they researched and wrote about their deeds and how they changed the world. Students could take control of their learning and exercise freedom in choosing their learning topics. They completed the project together through Padlet. The teacher was delighted with the students" knowledge and high participation rate!
填字游戲,加深文本理解Crossword Puzzles Help Deepen Comprehension
在Mr. Hubbard五年級的英文文學課上,學生們協同合作,共同完成填字游戲。這確保了學生充分閱讀并理解文本的關鍵細節。在完成填字游戲的同時，他們還各自分享了對文本的解讀，學生們的分享見解深刻，大大超過了預期!
In Mr. Hubbard’s class, students were able to collaboratively work on a crossword puzzle that ensure students had read and understood key details of the text. As they worked on the puzzle they also shared their understanding of the text and shared ideas beyond what was required.
有趣的線上拼寫測試Interesting Online Spelling Test
相較于傳統的聽寫，五年級的顏老師也想到了好辦法！她在課堂內設計了在線拼寫練習，學生們通過即時的互動，將聽寫的詞匯短時間內打在對話窗口內。這一在線聽寫方式新穎有趣，學生們參與度非常高。原本略顯枯燥的聽寫因為能夠與其他同學競相互動而顯得生動有趣。不以打分為目的聽寫，目的在于通過形成性評價(Formative Assessment)讓學生與老師都能了解其學習進度，從而激勵孩子們自發地學習與提高。
Compared with traditional dictation, Ms. Yan in 5th grade also thought of a good way to teach! (pictured above) She designed an online spelling exercise for the classroom, and students quickly typed the dictation vocabulary in the dialogue window for instant interaction. This online dictation method is novel and exciting. Participation of students was very high. Dictation is not always the most engaging activity for students. Online, however, it becomes lively and exciting paired with the ability to compete and interact with other students. This dictation method allowed students and their teacher to use formative assessments and encouraged children to learn and improve spontaneously.
在線不記名投票，選擇題還能這么好玩！The online anonymous ballot and multiple-choice questions can be so fun!
葉老師四年級的在英文課堂采取了不記名投票方式，讓同學們選出文章的中心思想。提到投票,學生們興奮的情緒幾乎要溢出屏幕！同樣的學習目標，換一種新奇的方式，不但幫助孩子理解了文章內容，更是讓孩子們高呼：“太好玩了!”
In Mr. Ye’s 4th grade ELA class, they adopted a secret ballot to let the students choose the article"s central idea. Voting helped increase student excitement and the screen almost overflowed with emojis and likes! The same learning goal, but in a novel way, the secret ballot activity not only helped the children understand the article"s content but also made them shout, "It"s so fun!"
共享白板，連接師生A shared whiteboard connects teachers and students.
葉老師的課堂上，進行目標詞匯訓練時，老師開通了共享白板功能，讓學生通過批注將合適的搭配連線。孩子們積極參與、互動，有效地提升了學習興趣與參與度，從而達到了對新學詞匯理解與應用的教學目標。
In Mr. Ye"s class, they opened the shared whiteboard function while teaching vocabulary. This allowed students to connect appropriate phrases together. The children actively participated, effectively increasing their interest and participation. The students achieved their goals of understanding and using new vocabulary.
在四年級的精讀課上，Ms. Griffin老師提出問題并鼓勵學生在文本中查找細節、引用文本證據來回答。通過騰訊會議的批注功能，學生可以用不同顏色的下劃線標注出答案的出處。這種以學生為中心的課堂活動，讓孩子們感受到了主動權，他們享受可以自由選擇顏色并被激勵仔細閱讀尋找答案。可以說，此時的線上課堂將線下不容易可視化的思想碰撞與討論變得高效而便捷。
In the fourth-grade English Literature class, Ms. Griffin asked questions and encouraged students to find details in the text. Then they cite textual evidence to answer questions. Through the annotation function of Tencent Meeting, students underlined their evidence in the text in different colors. This student-centered classroom activity gives children a sense of ownership, allows them to choose any color they want, and motivates them to search carefully for answers. Currently, the online classroom alters the way students and teachers approach learning. Could you imagine asking every student in the classroom to come to the blackboard simultaneously? What would otherwise be impossible in an offline setting is made possible in a virtual world.
分組討論，協同探索Group discussion, collaborative exploration
在線課堂的一大挑戰在于如何讓孩子變成課堂的中心，掌握主動權。為了解決這一難題，一些高年級的老師使用在線工具開展分組討論。學生們被分到幾個研討小組中，每組的學生分角色完成討論與記錄，由學生主導小組活動，老師輪流進入各個小組提供必要的幫助與建議。當我們把學習的主導權交給學生，他們不僅積極討論、尋求答案，也與此同時鍛煉了社交技能以及溝通技巧。
A major challenge in online classrooms is putting students at the center of the classroom and encouraging them to take the initiative. To address this dilemma, some upper-grade-level teachers used online tools to conduct group discussions. Students were divided into several research groups, and the students in each group discussed and recorded what they needed in their individual roles. Students led group activities and the teacher entered each group to provide the necessary help and suggestions. When we give students the initiative to learn, they discuss and seek answers.
上圖為Mr. Barger五年級的在線英文課堂，學生們學習了一篇說明文，并就三個核心問題進行分組討論。在討論的過程中，他們需要將結果整理、總結并分享到屏幕上，每個人都有機會貢獻自己的想法，群力群策地解決問題。
The picture above shows Mr. Barger"s fifth-grade online English class. The students studied an expository text and had group discussions on three core issues. During the discussion, they must organize, summarize, and share the results on the screen. Everyone could contribute their own ideas and solve problems as a group.
葉老師四年級的ELA英文文法課上（如上圖），學生們在學習一篇傳記作品時也被分配到不同的群組進行分組討論，共同探討研究炸山采礦(Mountaintop Removal Mining)的影響。雖然學生們身處家中，仍有機會與同伴隔空交流、分享見解，從而對復雜的議題獲得更加升入的理解。
In Ms. Ye’s fourth-grade ELA class (pictured above), students were assigned to different groups for discussions and learned about biographies. They discussed the impact of research on Mountaintop Removal Mining. Although students were at home, they still had the opportunity to communicate and share their insights with peers remotely and gain a more advanced understanding of the complex issues facing our global society.
寫在最后：借助科技力量，不改教育初心
With the help of technology, the goal of education is achieved.
無論是線下學習還是線上課堂，小學部英語組的老師一直在持續思考、完善自己的教學方法與模式，最終的目的在于建立老師與學生、學生與學生之間的連接，讓網課在家的孩子們感受到課堂上老師的關愛與熱情，在同伴之間建立起協作、溝通、互助的橋梁，讓孩子們在積極、高效的在線課堂快樂、高效地學習與成長！
Whether in offline or online classrooms, Tsinglan Primary School teachers have been thinking about and improving their teaching methods and practices in English classrooms. The ultimate goal is to establish an effective and meaningful connection between teachers and students and between students so that students can obtain a meaningful education. Students can feel the care and enthusiasm of teachers in class and build a bridge of collaboration, communication, and mutual assistance among peers who study together. Children can learn happily in an active and efficient online classroom!
