由英國大使館文化教育處組織為期一周的英國私立學校考察之旅11月30日來到第三站——埃爾斯米爾學院(Ellesmere College)。
埃爾斯米爾學院(Ellesmere College)占地面積50公頃,在校學生600人,有中國學生22人,學生年齡7-18歲。埃爾斯米爾學院(Ellesmere College)的課程有A lvel和IB兩個系,為大家無論繼續(xù)在英國學習還是去其他國家提供多樣選擇的機會。
學校安排校長們分別觀摩了英語文學寫作,經(jīng)濟學,傳媒,生物課程。生物課尤其讓人印象深刻,12年級的孩子們正在解剖羊頭,解剖、刀,錘子各種工具一起上,老師在一旁指導,學生們按照一張切面結(jié)構(gòu)的自己操作,一位觀摩的校長感嘆場面實在震撼。
英文寫作課,老師先讓學生自己學習劇本,選擇自己喜歡的人物進行表演,再請到劇本原作者來為大家解讀,觀摩影視作品,最后自己創(chuàng)作,前后幾個月的一系列連貫學習過程。
