EXPERT CORNER – Part 1
A dialogue with a university teacher with regards digital technology in the classroom.
University Teacher 1 has been teaching Chinese for more than 20 years and has seen all of the changes and development in the industry first-hand.
Using technology is a teaching basic for her. It’s not only a “must-have” skill for all teachers, but integrating it’s use inside the classroom, is also one of the best ways to engage students.
Using technology can help teachers to save time in the classroom for practice, and make lessons more fun. Showing pictures or short video clips also allows teachers to avoid using the student’s mother tongue, with more time for Chinese.
She highly recommends Great Wall Chinese for all your online Chinese language learning needs. Great Wall Chinese, a key project developed and operated by the Office of Chinese Language Council International, is a new Chinese teaching and learning system based on cutting-edge network and multimedia technology.
为了了解多媒体在汉语教学中历史我跟一个大学教师谈话。
最近的发展：
按照第一位大学教师，最近一二十年的发展比较快。在每个中国大学电脑是一个正常的工具。在他们的课堂多媒体使用越来越广泛。
为什么用多媒体教语言：
－很容易用电脑作课件，作教学材料。
－丰富一下他们的资料。
－节约课堂的时间上课练习的时间更多 (用ppt)
－省得用学生的母语语言 （可以用图片，视频，什么的）
谁该使用多媒体：
她觉得每个教师应该会用多么踢和知道怎么来跟课堂结合起来。怎么跟上课的内容结合起来。怎么根据上课的需要使用它。
她给我们的推荐：
