3 New Teaching Methods Improve the Educational Process
September 19, 2012
By Sonia Jackson
The traditional “chalk and talk” method of teaching that’s persisted for hundreds of years is now acquiring inferior results when compared with the more modern and revolutionary teaching methods that are available for use in schools today. Greater student interaction is encouraged, the boundaries of authority are being broken down, and a focus on enjoyment over grades is emphasised.
As teachers, it’s necessary to be able to teach and remain engaging. It puts a greater level of responsibility on creating lesson plans that truly work. Here are three teaching methods that are making an impact.
Spaced Learning
Teachers have reported amazing results when it came to . Spaced Learning is a learning method in which the condensed learning content is repeated three times, with two 10-minute breaks during which activities such as physical activities are performed by the students – I think, that PE and lessons can be combined.
Spaced learning involves encouraging students to quickly switch through activities. For example, providing ten minutes of knowledge on the nervous system with a PowerPoint presentation and then having 15 minutes of basketball would be the way to get the better grades.
The results don’t lie and the creators of the system at Monkseaton High School in Tyne and Wear have reported that it does work. They
that it’s more effective than simply teaching students by utilising traditional methods for four hours.
The key is in the brain cells. It helps them to create the connections that they need to actually remember the knowledge. Furthermore, it has the additional benefit of allowing people to relax. If they are compressing sections of the syllabus into such small sections then there’s no time to worry. It’s all about the learning before moving on to another session of activity.
Flexible Fridays
Sometimes conventional lesson blocks just don’t work as every student is different and they all have their problematic subjects. The concept of Flexible Fridays is that an in-depth session of a subject can be acquired by simply having a whole day of mathematics or some other subject.
At Flexible Fridays lessons a teacher try to help each student to study and learn what is the most difficult for him/her personally. Somebody repeats, somebody learns. It makes it more convenient for students as now they can focus on one thing while in school. It means that students don’t have a breaking point by spending hours struggling with a subject along at home.
Teachers also find it easier as they can keep their lesson plans and simply go over them again with a more personal touch. Flexible Friday lessons are more in-touch with students and gives focused study time that can help students grasp difficult concepts.
Teachers are also able to aid students by simply having fast-track weeks. Having a whole week of mathematics or English can help students to get through the subjects in a shorter amount of time.
It’s good news for teachers and students alike because even though a lesson lasts an hour it could actually lose up to 25 percent of its designated time. There’s the preparing for class and packing away to take into account, and students are not always the quickest at performing these tasks.
Teacher should choose what method is more appropriate for his/her students: spaced learning or Flexible Fridays.
Engagement
Under a new teaching method called “engagement” students are urged to engage with the real world, analyse everything that happens in different life spheres (not only internship but also economical, business, social spheres, etc.). Business studies are where this new focus of engagement occurred at the .
Instead of conventional teaching methods, students were taken to visit local businesses where they were able to witness how the knowledge that they were learning applied to the real world.
Multiple days were set aside for this practice and all students were required to wear business suits in order to attend. The idea is to get students engaged and to connect their learning to the real world. If teachers can show them how what they are teaching connects to the real world then their own brain cells are going to connect them and associate them.
The results are there for all to see because before this new method was introduced only 40 percent of students achieved grades of A-C across both years 10 and 11. Under the new teaching method the institution reported that the numbers had shot up to a massive 91 percent of students achieving A-Cs in years 10 and year 11.
New methods of teaching have the purpose to improve the quality of education and involve students in educational process. Innovations mean a progress and development.

因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
动词短语的概念：
动词常和某些其他词类用在一起，构成固定词组，形成所谓短语动词(phrasalverb)。和动词一样，短语动词也可分为及物和不及物两种。短语动词可以作为一个整体看待，同一般动词一样使用。 &动词短语的搭配类型：1）动词+介词：这类短语动词用作及物动词，后面须跟宾语。如：The small boy insisted on going with his parents. 那男孩坚持要跟父母一起去。 &&&&&&& Do you often listen to broadcasts in English? 你常听英语广播吗? &&&&&&& Look at the children. Aren't they lovely? 看着这些孩子们。他们多么可爱呀! &&&&&&& We stand for self-reliance. 我们是主张自力更生的。 这一类的短语动词还有很多，如depend on(upon)(依靠)，wait on(服侍)，look for(寻找)，deal with(对待)，look after(照料)，wait for(等待)等。 2）动词+副词：这类短语动词有的用作及物动词，有的用作不及物动词。如：I always get up as soon as the bell rings. 我总是一打铃就起床。(不及物) &&&&&&& Look out, there's a car coming! 当心，来汽车了!(不及物) &&&&&&& Have you handed in your exercises already? 你已经交练习了吗?(及物) &&&&&&& Please don't forget to put on your coat, it's cold outside. 请不要忘记穿外衣，外面很冷。(及物) 这一类的短语动词还有很多，及物如put out(扑灭)，eat up(吃光)，put down(放下)；不及物如set off(出发)，come up(走近)，go on(继续)。 注："动词+副词"这类短语动词和上面第一类"动词+介词"的不同之处在于："动词+介词"用作及物动词，后面须跟宾语。"动词+副词"则有的及物，有的不及物；用作及物动词而宾语为人称代词或自身代词时，副词往往放在宾语之后。如：Please wake me up at five tomorrow. 请在明天早上五点唤醒我。 &&&&&&& If you have done your exercises, please hand them in. 如果你们练习做完了请交来。 &&&&&&& She doesn't normally behave like that, she's putting it on. 她通常并不如此表现，她是装出来的。 注：这类短语动词有不少可兼作及物和不及物动词用。如：He took off his hat when he entered the office. 他进办公室后脱下帽子。(及物) &&&&&&& The plane took off at seven sharp. 飞机在七点整起飞。(不及物) &&&&&&& Charlie rang up Neil to ask about the time of the meeting. 查理打电话给尼尔问开会的时间。(及物) &&&&&&& If you can't come, please ring up and let us know. 你如来不了，请来电话告诉我们一声。(不及物) 3）动词+副词+介词："动词+副词"之后有的可以再加一个介词，形成另一种短语动词。这类短语动词用作及物动词。如：Do not give up hope. We must go on with the experiment 不要失望。我们必须继续试验。(go on with继续) &&&&&&& He came up to me. 他走到我跟前。(come up to走近) 这类短语动词还有：look down upon(看不起)，do away with(去掉)，put up with(忍受)等。 4）动词+名词+介词：这类短语动词也是及物的。如：He shook hands with all the guests at the banquet. 他在宴会上和宾客一一握手。 &&&&&&& Young pioneers often come to the Children's Palace to take part in after school activities.少先队员经常到少年宫来参加课外活动。 &&&&&&& Pay attention to the temperature of the stored rice. 注意仓库里的稻谷的温度。 &&&&&&& Her job is taking care of the babies. 她的工作是照顾婴儿。 这一类短语动词还有：put an end to(结束)，take notice of(注意)，catch hold of(抓住)，lose sight of(看不见)，make use of(利用)等。 动词短语知识体系：
