【口試】國北師英教所在職專班口試經驗分享

最近迎接自己職涯中的一個轉捩點—考上國北師英教所在職專班！
之前在準備面試的時候，發現針對「在職專班面試」的經驗分享似乎比較少，決定把我自己的經驗放上來與需要的朋友分享～

覺得我之前寫的「教甄口試對策」和「教甄口試題目」有點太籠統，這次我寫下了實例，準備英語教甄面試的朋友也可以參考看看噢！





知道自己可以參加複試以後，我把自己備審資料中的「自傳」以及「研究計劃」拿出來重讀，並從中挑出問題擬定答案。


例如，我在自傳中寫到：
After 4 years’ English teaching experience, I realize that learning from the Internet or search around English teaching activities solely does not make me a professional teacher. Thinking critically and having perspectives can pave my way to be a batter educator. Therefore, I decided to undertake graduate studies in Children English teaching here.

這段是在說明我就讀研究所的理由。於是，我把這一整段整理在自己準備口試的檔案中，歸類為「自我介紹、就讀研究所的理由」。也就是說，如果教授要我自我介紹或是要我說明就讀研究所的理由，我就會把這段拿出來說。不過，畢竟面試是面對面的情景，所以我會多加一句話：I am ___. You can call me ___. I am an English teacher in ___ elementary school now.之後再說After 4 years' English...I decided to undertake graduate studies in Children English teaching here.

所有的待答題目我都利用這樣的技巧去整理，同時，我會想出一些「畫面」放進原本的「自傳」以及「研究計劃」中，畢竟當初寫自傳及研究計畫都有限制頁數，無法有太多篇幅書寫有故事、有畫面的實例。但我相信面試時，若能有感動人的「故事」，會讓聽的人感覺到自己的熱情。

比如說，我在自傳裡只有輕輕地提到My biggest ambition is to encourage and motivate my students. I want to let them know that learning English could be fun.在準備面試時，我會回想自己在教學現場曾有過的、印象深刻的師生互動—最好是要有衝突、有挑戰、有自己的努力、有學生的改變—然後把這個故事套進待答題目中。

比如說，我自己設計了一題：What difficulties have you encountered when learning English? How to motivate low-motivation students?（因為我在自傳中有提到My biggest ambition is to encourage and motivate my students. ）

我準備的答案是：

Let me tell you a story. （誰不喜歡聽故事）I have a student whose name is ＿＿＿. When I first saw him, his cool and indifferent face （描述一下學生的長相、增加一點臨場感）told me at once that he was not interested in English. He fell asleep almost every time in the class. When I tried to wake him up he even swore at me. But I don’t want to give him up. I want to let him know that he is not alone. I wake him up in every class. And I observe his learning condition carefully. I found that he wake up every time when we have a game in the class. I realized that he likes to play games just like other kids do. So, I started to put lots of English board game in my class to create opportunities for different level students to play and learn with each other in a small group. （展現自己為學生的努力）Surprisingly, ＿＿＿ woke up and started to join the activity with his group members. Though, he didn’t want to speak English at first. I still believe that he would give it a try when he is ready. One day, I heard him speak out a word, I praised him and encourage him to talk more. Gradually, Henry does not fall asleep in my class. He became the one who can participate in the class.（對比學生前後的改變） I can see his confident smile when he has a chance to learn and to be succeeded. ＿＿＿’s story reminds me the reason why I want to be a teacher. I want to create opportunities for students with low achievement. I want them to be involved in my class. I want to give them chance to be succeeded and to trust themselves again.（再次強調自己的企圖） To sum up, I believe every kid wants to be seen in the class. And the best way to motivate students is to give them opportunities to get involved in learning activities and to light them up in the class. （有時間最好做個總結）

準備的故事不用太多，要夠經典（最好是要有衝突、有挑戰、有自己的努力、有學生的改變。）畢竟我們沒那麼多腦容量記太多故事...哈！

我準備的答案都比較長，讓自己腦袋裡的資料庫盡量豐富一點，到了現場再針對問題做調整。從之前就寫好的自傳及研究計畫中挑出問題與答案、再適時補充一些場景故事的好處是，因為是自己寫的，所以比較好背。但畢竟寫作和口說不同，在練習的時候如果發現自己有某幾句話、某些詞會一直講錯，就乾脆換成自己講得最順的說法吧！

我在背稿子的時候，一開始會先逼自己完全照著稿子背出來。到了快接近考試的時候，就訓練自己不能照著稿子背出來、脫離設好的軌道時，也不能卡住，要用自己的話把內容調整回軌道上。

另外，我也發現，教授很愛問How的問題。在準備面試時，大家不妨多用How開頭的問題來準備答案。

＊＊＊

面試當天，一進考場，坐下後，教授就請我唸放在桌上的一篇文章，進行面試的第一部分—「朗讀」。文章大約200-250字，測驗你的發音和流暢度，唸不完會被扣分、唸錯也會被扣分（網路上有人分享是唸不完一個字扣兩分、唸錯一個字扣一分）

文章是一篇關於嬰幼兒語言習得的文章，所以沒有太多生難字，但還是會遇到兩三個需要稍微拼一下的字，我有稍微被卡住幾次，因此沒有在兩分鐘內把文章念完。

＊＊＊

接著，兩位教授各負責接下來兩個階段的提問。第一階段「英語會話」四分鐘。一開始，教授會跟你說他準備提問幾個問題，目的是要你自己掌握回答的長度。

我原本很害怕被問到無法準備的問題（比如說「你最近讀了什麼書」啊～之類這種很生活化的題目），還好，教授問的是：

1. 自我介紹、為何我們要錄取你（我憑印象寫，原文當然不是這樣）

如上文所提，我有準備自我介紹，所以我就直接把準備的答案說出來（當然不能聽起來很像在背稿子喔！）

但「為什麼要錄取我？」這個問題我有點來不及反應。於是我把事先準備好原本要用在做整場面試的結論拿出來用：I would like to summarize that I am positive and hard working. I am willing to learn. I will do my best and I believe that I am the one you want.

只是把它改成：
I would like to tell you that I am positive and hard working. I am willing to learn. I will do my best and I believe that I am the one you want. So, please give me a chance to be your student and to learn from you.

總之就是展現強烈的企圖心和信心！當我說出I would like to tell you的時候，我發現原本低頭評分的教授抬起頭來看著我，我用更堅定的眼神繼續說完全部，發現坐在隔壁的教授給了我一個微笑。

2. 我忘記有沒有被問到第二個問題了...

＊＊＊

接下來，第三階段「英語教學理念」，總共有六分鐘可以作答。換成另一位教授問我問題。同樣的，在提問之前，她先告訴我總共會問我四題問題。

1. 如何提升學生學習動機？（大概是因為我的自我介紹中有提到「動機」）

我就把上面準備好How to motivate low-motivation students?的答案拿出來用。

2. 繪本在教學現場扮演的角色？

我沒有準備這一題，所以只有簡單說了一下繪本給予大量language input之類的...

3. 如何教程度落差的學生？

這一題就妙了。因為基本上我拿來回答第一題「如何提升學生學習動機」的答案就非常適合用來回答這一題，但我當然不可能像錄音機一樣重新播放我說過的答案，加上我事先準備好的第二個經典故事還沒用上！於是我現場把第二個我準備好一定要講到的亮點拿出來用，只是針對題目做一點調整...。

我原本預設的題目是：Talk about the teaching program “ Open your mouth, speak and smile”or What difficulties have you encountered when teaching English?
*the teaching program “ Open your mouth, speak and smile”讓我在苗栗時得到教育部資訊融入創新教學應用團隊全國入選，是我個人職涯的亮點，一定要拿出來講！於是我設計了這一題（結果沒被問到，我只好自己硬塞）

針對現場教授的提問「如何教程度落差的學生？」，我把原本預設的答案拿出來用，再加進黃色底的文字進去：

When I was an English teacher in Miaoli, I founded that most of my students have low motivation since they lack chance to practice English in life. To make my teaching more effective and attractive, I have integrated technology in my English classroom. For example, I introduced my students to “ real” English from variety of sources, such as video, radio, and website. I always remember that there was a little girl who was not good at English. After I showed an English song “ How’s the weather?” to my class. She seemed to like the song. She could sing the song alone. When I saw her smiling face and when I heard her singing, I know that she enjoyed my class. Furthermore, for the high-level students, I also create opportunities for them to generate content with different level students. For instance, I asked my students to make an English short film with group members. They cooperated with teammates to come up with a script, and recorded the presentation at the end. So, I think integrating technology in English class and let the different level students work with each other might be a way.

  Through the process, learning transferred from receiving to giving. My kids looked up dictionary on line and made sentences on their own. The kids who were reluctant to speak English could give it a try when they need to record their voice in the video. They even asked me “ Teacher, could I try again?” because they want to show their best in the video. My English class became one of their most anticipated classes because it is fun! My students’ progress made me believe that it is possible to motivate them by integrating technology in English classroom. （這段是我原本準備好，但沒有說的）

4. 你認為國小教師的責任是什麼？

到這一題的時候，我已經沒有太多時間回答。我只簡單說了讓學生融入於課堂中、讓他們喜歡英文。其實我事後想想，如果我當時知道自己時間不夠，我乾脆就說Never give up!好了！哈哈！（雖然現場會有提醒鈴聲，但當時實在太緊張，根本沒法理會提醒鈴聲啊）

＊＊＊

我事後想想，覺得自己準備研究所面試的回答，有些還是帶有準備教甄面試的影子，比如說His story just remind me the reason why I want to be a teacher...，也許會顯得不夠切合主題。回答的長度也拿捏的不夠準確...這些都是可以再改進的地方。

不過還好，我的成績還不錯，順利通過考試！
