I am a student from China, after studying hard for more than 10 years, I have passed TOEFL, IELTS and a series of other examinations to obtain the opportunity to receive undergraduate educations in the United States. After coming to the United States, in many ways it gave me a new experience in learning, life, making friends and other aspects. However, which impressed me most is the classroom teaching. In classroom teaching in China, I seriously listened to what teachers said, trying to remember what teachers said as much as possible and took notes in detail, and I was praised by teachers repeatedly because I listened to them carefully and quietly. While in classroom teaching in the U.S., I found that listening to teachers was not what American teachers’ favorite. They prefer and encourage students to speak, discuss, they allow and appreciate students' views on what teachers said, and they are willing to spend time on discussion with students. I have never met such situation before, and I also could not imagine it. Because in China, teachers do not like students who question them, they are always busy to teach us what they think is correct, and they will not spend a lot of time to discuss with us. The difference between Chinese and American teachers in terms of classroom teaching is related to their purpose of teaching, Chinese teachers hope that students can acquire more knowledge through classroom teaching, and American teachers aim to cultivate students’ learning ability and critical thinking through classroom teaching. As a Chinese student, my strategy to adapt to this diversity in teaching methods is to prepare for lessons as much as possible, through collecting more background information to prepare more knowledge for participating actively in the classroom discussion.
