上海燎原國際高中課程怎么樣?我們一起去聽聽G9-1 Kane同學是怎么回答的：真英語+加速度：走進燎原ESL課程。

2017年9月，為了接受更好的國際化教育，我來到燎原，開始了加拿大課程的學習。這里的生活是豐富多彩的，除了全英文教學外，學生還能接觸到很多之前不曾涉及的科目。其中，ESL課程給我留下了深刻印象。

This September, I attended Liaoyuan Bilingual School for professional international education, starting to study Canadian courses. It is obvious that life in Liaoyuan is wonderful and various, not only take all the classes in English, but have a try on subjects that do not exist in traditional school. Among all of them, ESL is this subject which is the best.

ESL課程全稱“English as Second Language”，是加拿大教育局針對英語非母語，且將英語作為第二語言的學生開設的專業英文課程，是申請大學的必修課。

ESL also known as English as the second language-is the professional language subject which is created by Canadian Education Department for students who don’t speak English as the first language and regard English as the second language.

燎原的ESL課程秉承“真英語+加速度”的原則，在日常教學中參閱托福、SAT考試要求，回歸英語教學本源，幫助孩子減輕來自課外培訓的精神以及經濟壓力。

ESL in Liaoyuan relies on principles which contain real English and fluent spoken English. The subject refers to standard in IELTS and TOFEL, which is not the same as other bilingual school.

我認為ESL課程相當于一個墊腳石，幫助我們更好地把英語這門外語變成能夠流利使用的第二語言，也能更好地適應英語環境，為我們接下來的留學奠定扎實的基礎。因此ESL課程對我們的意義很大，是最重要的學科之一。

In my opinion, ESL which helps us improve our English skill and speak fluently is just like a steppingstone which is the foundation for further study. Thus, it is one of the most important subjects which make us benefit a lot.

每天早上，伴著明媚的晨曦，我們在明亮的課堂中迎來了期待的ESL課。教師Sally帶著溫暖而又動人的微笑走進教室，將精心制作好的講義發給大家。我們的ESL課難度適中，課堂活躍度很高，每一堂課都讓我們受益匪淺。

Every day in the morning, with the first rays of sunlight, we welcome the ESL class in our tidy classroom. The teacher Sally steps into the classroom, smiling in a particular way, handing out the worksheets to us. I think the level of our ESL class is not too difficult, and it always makes the students active instead of sleeping in class.

首先語法的復習是必不可少的，為了鞏固之前的知識，讓我們的印象更加深刻。接著我們會進入新課部分，分析新單元的單詞，課文，教授語法。馬上就進入我們最期待的環節了—課堂話題討論。Sally 老師會把我們分成幾個小組，進行搶答或者辯論等會話的活動，既能調動起我們的積極性，也可以讓我們解開拘束開口鍛煉口語。作為一名國際學生，練習聽力也是必不可少的，難度適中的聽力讓我們耳朵對于辨別英語的能力有了不錯的提升。

Firstly we will review the grammar notes we have learnt before in order to strengthen our memories. Then we'll go into the new section, analyze and summarize the vocabulary words, the text and the grammar of the new unit. And then the class topic discussion is the most interesting part in among all of the students. Sally puts us into several groups and gives us a topic for debate. That is useful not only for it can make the class active, but also for practicing our spoken English. As an international student, it is necessary for us to have listening exercise which helps us make our hearing more sensitive in English.

可以說ESL課很好地提升了我的英語綜合能力，每一堂課都讓我受益匪淺。

To sum up, ESL class improves my English skills in every part and benefits me a lot.

ESL課程的**的特點就是課堂活動很多，而認真盡職的Sally老師把這一點作為重點，精心想出了Kahoot和Word guessing等我們最喜歡的活動。

The biggest trait of ESL is the various activities. Sally who is hardworking and responsible considers it is important so she creates activities such as Kahoot and word guessing which are so vivid that every student are eager to attend those activities.

Kahoot是一個可以在線答題的手機App，可以進行與課堂內容相關的答題競賽。Sally老師會在電腦上選擇一組題目，學生們只要在App上輸入pin碼即可參與答題，進行班級排名。我認為Kahoot可以讓學生們鞏固課堂的知識，又以競賽的方式調動的課堂的活躍程度，對學生的幫助很大。

Kahoot is an app which provides us a website for doing exercising online on our cell phones. The teacher will start a competition and shows the pin code on the board, and students can easily start and get their scores. I think Kahoot is helpful for students since it strengthens the knowledge we have just learnt in class and can put everyone together for ranking and fun.

Word guessing 也是一個令人期待的活動，Sally老師在黑板上寫出課堂學過的單詞，讓一位學生背對黑板，根據其他同學的英語提示猜出單詞。這個活動幫助我們鞏固了新單詞，過程中又不乏笑聲，是一個很有意義的活動。

Another activity with expectations is word guessing game that the teacher writes a word on the board and the student who faces his classmates should predict the word with description given by others. It’s fun not only for laughter during the activity but as it enhances our memory in new vocabularies.

這些活動都深受同學們的喜愛，成為ESL課上一道亮麗的風景線。

In a word, activities help improve the ESL class into a new level.

徒有一個好的課程體系是沒有多大作用的，授課教師才是一門好課的關鍵。我們的老師Sally認真負責，關愛學生，年輕卻不乏經驗，將ESL課發揮得淋漓盡致。Sally老師授課認真，對知識的講解非常到位，也想出了不少方法提升課堂質量，我們的volunteer card(小卡片)就是一個很好的例子。

It is said that whether a system is successful isn’t based on how prepared it was, but is determined by who executes it. Our teacher Sally is such a wonderful teacher that everyone likes her. She is young but not lack of experience. She is the key for why ESL class is successful. She tries her best on improving the quality of participation, getting good ideas about methods such as the volunteer cards.

為了提高課堂參與度，Sally老師特地制作了近五十張奪人眼球的小卡片，作為課堂參與獎勵發放給學生，并每周進行數量評比，成為了課堂上的寵兒。這既方便了老師打分，也能調動學生的積極性，是一個富有創新的課堂好幫手。Sally老師也給我們每人發放了文件夾，讓我們把所有ESL的材料都放入其中，將講義丟失的可能行幾乎降到0，解決了我們丟三落四的壞毛病。ESL課程能取得如此高的成就，一切都歸功于Sally老師。

She spent lots of time focusing on making the pretty cards which are popular among the students. When the student answers the question or finish an activity, the cards are given to them as the prize. That helps the teacher give us participation scores, and draws our attention as well. She also gives us a folder for putting ESL stuff inside, which solves the problem of missing. Thus, Sally is the key for such high-leveled ESL class.

轉眼間，我在燎原已經度過了半個春秋，也在ESL課堂學習了半載，感覺收益匪淺。起初我的英語口語不太好，參與活動的積極性也不高，但現在我自信了許多，與老師的交流也很順暢。通過不懈的努力，我一定能綻放出屬于自己的光彩。

It has been half a year since I became a Liaoyuan student, and also half a year in ESL class. Of course I have large improvements in many parts. My spoken English was not very fluent at the beginning of this semester, and I was a little shy in activities. Now I am more confident and there is nearly no doubt for me to communicate with foreigner. I believe, with tremendous efforts, I will bloom and show my excellence.
