Holding a math problem, Hu Xinshuo came to the office of a foreign math teacher and asked his doubts. In 15 minutes, the discussion between them was extremely enthusiastic, and various mathematical words popped up one by one. When the problem was solved, the foreign teacher gave Hu Xinshuo a thumb. "You are great!"
Hu Xinshuo is the first student in the international course of excellent junior high school in Hangzhou Oriental Middle School. Students in this class have more courses than students in ordinary classes. In addition to completing compulsory education courses in junior high schools, they must also take international courses in English, mathematics and science.
"There are more courses and the learning burden has increased, but I don't feel too tired, but I feel very fulfilled." Hu Xinshuo said.
Oriental Middle School offers excellent courses.
The little girl wants to "gamble". Before attending junior high school, Hu Xinshuo made up his mind to go abroad to attend high school after finishing junior high school.
"At the beginning of Xiao Sheng, I told my family that I would lay the foundation for going abroad in the future. Later, I heard that Oriental Middle School opened an international course for Youxing Junior High School, and I was moved. " Hu Xinshuo said that she hesitated for some time. If she goes to this class, she will be the first student, and the effect is still unknown.
"Later, I said to myself, just take a gamble. The first person who eats crabs always takes some risks, but once he has income, it is still quite big. " Her decision was supported by her parents.
After more than one semester, Hu Xinshuo's evaluation of this class is "quite good". "There are more than 20 students in this class. In addition to junior high school courses, there are four foreign teachers who take math, English and science respectively. " Hu Xinshuo said that the pressure is still quite great, and there are three more classes than ordinary classes.
Her change is also obvious. "Primary school, I can be lazy, also must be lazy. This is not the case now. I preview before class and review after class, and good habits gradually form. If you don't do this, you won't understand in class. You can only force yourself to do it. Sticking to it for a while will become a habit. " Hu Xinshuo said that she felt that she had never been so conscious, but her heart was full of happiness.
Hu Xinshuo's vocabulary has grown rapidly, especially his oral ability. "I used to have a foundation and had English training outside, but my oral English has improved obviously in the past six months, especially in terms of professional vocabulary, and I can discuss it with foreign teachers."
Is the English level of this class really excellent? A teacher of the school told the reporter that if the English test paper of the ordinary class is used to test, the English level of the excellent class is not outstanding, but if the math and science test papers of the excellent class are given to the students of the ordinary class, they can hardly do it because they can't understand the questions at all.
Learn one more choice.
The happiness index of students has been greatly improved. Hangzhou Oriental Middle School conducted a survey of excellent classes, and the "burden" of schoolwork increased instead of decreased. What do students and parents think? The result is surprising. Almost all students think that their happiness index is rising, and parents' satisfaction with this class has reached 100%.
Student Ma said that foreign courses are too informative. After a semester, every student has developed a good habit, that is, taking notes in class, writing down key points and things he doesn't understand, and asking the teacher for advice after class.
The classroom form of foreign teachers also makes students sit steady. For example, when a foreign teacher teaches muscles in a science class, students will be asked to make various muscle models out of cardboard, and then put them on in order, like puppets.
In math class, the foreign church takes out the dice and asks students which number is most likely to appear on the dice, so that students can experience the boring mathematical concepts in vivid experiences and turn abstract mathematical thinking into vivid memories.
The homework of foreign teachers is also a big brain hole. For example, in mathematics, it is required to design new year's element patterns on square paper and calculate the total area with parallel formulas; For example, in science, animal or plant cell models are made of common materials such as mung beans, red dates, candy, plasticine, etc., and the names of each part are marked.
Li Lieming, the principal, is a special-grade teacher in Zhejiang Province and was hired as a tutor for master students in Zhejiang University. He believes that based on the educational ideal of students' happy growth, we should actively explore the real way of "reducing the burden", start with the construction of characteristic courses, open up broader channels for students to enter colleges and universities, and give them one more choice.
There is an international class between China and Australia in the senior middle school of Oriental Middle School. After years of development, I handed over a satisfactory report card. 100% of the 20 17 graduates were admitted to top universities in Australia, and 72% of them entered the top eight universities in Australia. President Li said that after more than a year's research, the school opened an international course for junior high school students in the second half of last year, also to broaden the access for junior high school students to further their studies.
President Li said that after graduation, students in excellent classes can be sure to enter the "green channel" of the International Department of Oriental Middle School and enter the top universities in Australia and Canada 100. The course is also effectively connected with sister school David Gorm Middle School and its branch schools Bath Middle School and Southwest Cheshire College High School. After finishing the ninth grade, students can go directly to high-quality schools in Britain.
For students who have performed well in junior high school international programs, the school will provide 1-6 months of international school exchange places to exchange and study in international middle schools such as the United States and Canada. Tuition is free, and only transportation and living expenses are provided.
