Cona：

　　Hello,Danny, hello, William，thank you very much for accepting my interview. Could you introduce yourselves please?

　　Danny老师好，William老师好，非常感谢你们能接受我的采访。可以请二位先介绍一下自己吗?

Danny：

　　My name is Danny. I am from North Ireland, in the UK. I have been in China for over 5 years now. I previously lived in Fujian for all of that time. I am 27 years old. I love going to the gym, playing football and cooking. I’ve always been a teacher and have always had a passion to share my knowledge on to others.

　　我的名字叫Danny, 我来自于英国北爱尔兰。我之前在福建工作了五年。我今年27岁，喜欢去健身房，踢足球和烹饪。我喜欢当老师并且我有着想要把知识传给学生的热忱。

William：

　　William Triska, I teach Art and Design. I have been working in Education for 4 years, mostly in Beijing and other locations in China. I was a founding team member and Curriculum Developer of a Speech Arts Education Technology company in Beijing, Cofounder and COO of an Education company in Beijing, and a Director of Studies for EF. I have helped to organize and run Summer Learning Travel programs to Xinjiang, Harvard University, as well as San Francisco and Stanford University. I believe that education is the greatest tool for agency and personal freedom that we can give to children. My goal is to make my students courageous autodidacts, and stalwart champions of public good.

Cona：

　　What are the important things in teaching do you think?

　　你们认为教学中重要的事情是什么?


Danny：

　　There are many things that make a good and effective teacher. I believe that it is important to have good communication skills, patience and an enthusiasm for teaching. I believe that a teacher is always learning themselves and it’s their job to give the students the best education that deserve. I believe my style of teaching is quite unique. I always enjoy teaching the students in fun and creative ways. I believe I am fun, passionate and lively teacher that the students can always relate to.当一个好的老师有着诸多因素。我认为作为老师需要有良好的沟通能力，耐心和对教育的热情。我认为教师需要继续学习并且给学生他们最好的教育。我的教学风格是非常独树一帜的，因为我总是乐忠于用有趣的并且有创造性的方法来教授学生。我是一个风趣的，有热情的，有活力的老师，学生总是能与我产生共鸣。


　William：

　　My first boss told me, “You have to teach to learn.” His philosophy flips the traditional narrative that new teachers encounter. I have not learned how to teach. I have learned how to learn. In this way I can lend the best of my abilities and processes to students and help to provide a context in which they may best explore and grow. Because I understand their experience relative to my own, and I have studied the mechanisms at play when students make progress, I can design curriculum and experiences around what works for each student.

　　我的第一任老板告诉我， “你必须在教中学”。他的哲学颠覆了新教师遇到的传统叙事。我还没学会怎么教书，但是我已经学会了怎么去学习。这样我可以借由我的最好的能力和方法帮助提供一个他们可以更好的探索和成长的环境。由于我自身经历过学生时代，我也研究了学生进步的机制，我可以围绕这些设计适合每个学生的课程。

　Cona：

　　What do you think of the students in our school?

　　你们认为世外的孩子怎么样?



　Danny：

　　I have been really impressed with the student’s desire to learn in this school. I believe their level of English is already good, and they have always treated me with upmost respect. It is clear to see that they thoroughly enjoy learning English, which is very important. The students always put a smile on my face and it is great to be able to talk and chat with them about other things outside of the classroom too. They treat me with the respect of an educator but always treat me as a friend, and I think that is really special.

　　世外的学生对学习的渴望令我非常印象深刻。我认为他们的英语水平已经非常高了，并且他们对我非常尊敬。很明显地可以看出他们喜欢英语，这一点非常的重要。在课余时间，我还会跟这些学生谈笑风生。我认为非常特别的是，他们不仅仅把我当成一个教育者，还把我当做一位朋友。
 

　William：

　　These students have chosen a new school which has numerous advantages. WFL has a long and respected history so there is a strong sense of support from the community of schools. However, being a student at a new school has a special advantage. They will have many opportunities to develop and shape the school and the academic programs with their opinions and learning preferences. Many have displayed a keen interest in expanding their role in this community, which I believe indicates their desire to be creative and impactful even at this early stage of their education.

　　这些学生选择了一所很有潜力的新学校。世外系学校有着悠久且卓越的历史并且会给杭州世外中学有力的帮助。对于学生来说，选择一所新学校会有一种特殊的优势，他们有机会用他们的观点和学习倾向建设校园环境以及建设学术项目。许多学生对扩大他们在这个校园中的作用表现出强烈的兴趣，我认为这表明他们即使在教育的早期阶段也希望具有创造性和影响力。

Cona：

　　Could you introduce the two courses (MYP or Honor’s class)?

　　可以介绍一下两门课程吗?

　Danny：

　　Honor’s class is small class of only the top students. We meet twice a week and it gives me an opportunity to teach things in a more project-focused way. In this class we complete things by individual and group learning, critical thinking, how to use logic in ways we learn, presentations, debates, styles of writing, creative work and more. It is quite new and unique to the students and I can already see the benefits they are beginning to get from it.

　　荣誉课程是为一些顶尖学生开设的小班课程。我们一周上两次课。我有机会用项目式学习的方法来教学生。在课堂里，我通过个人学习，个人展示，小组学，辩论，风格写作教授学生如歌进行批判性思维，怎样利用批判性思维写作。我相信学生能够从这种独特新颖的上课形式中获益良多。

　William：

　　MYP is a part of the IB program. In the IB program, all classes and activities aim to prioritize conceptual understanding above more traditional goals like information recall, and skill development. The belief is that a well-balanced student needs a program that gives them the tools they need to learn and act in accordance with what will be expected of them in an increasingly globalized society. For this reason, academic programs will be connected in an interdisciplinary fashion in order to assist the creation of meaningful and powerful associations between the student and the concept. I believe this is effective because it emulates the type of learning people do naturally when they pick up skills that suit their interests and abilities.

　　MYP是IB项目的一部分。在IB项目中，所有的课程和活动旨在将概念理解置于更传统的目标之上，如信息记忆，技能发展。这个项目的理念是，能够给全面发展的学生一个工具，使他们的学习和行动符合这个日益全球化的社会的期望。由于这个原因，为了在学生和这个概念中建立有意义强有力的联系，学术项目将会跨学科开展。我相信这是有效的，因为它模拟了人们在学习适合自己兴趣和能力的技能时自然学习的类型。

Cona：

　　How do these courses improve their English abilities and comprehensive abilities?

　　这两门课程如何提高孩子们的英语能力和综合能力?


　　Danny：

　　This class differs to regular class, in the sense that they’re getting a much more varied approach to learning. For example, in Western countries it is very important to learn how to learn through ‘critical and logical thinking’. In a project recently, students were asked to imagine being stranded on a desert island alone. They had to choose from a list of items which ones they would bring with them to the island and why. We began by learning how to search the benefits of certain items on the internet. Here we spent time learning how to correctly search, through western websites, the benefits and uses of certain items by using key words and correct terms when using search engines. Following this, students had to write a list of what would be beneficial for their survival on the island and why. Each student had to give their answers with logical reasoning. Each student had different answers and we then used various debate strategies to debate why each student believed their item was more useful and practical to survival. The reason I enjoy the Honor’s class so much is that it gives me an opportunity to introduce a wide range of teaching styles and strategies that are often seen in the western world. It’s a class that is very new but we have some interesting ideas and goals for the future of the class.

　　荣誉课程与普通的课程不一样的是，它运用了更多不同的方法去学习英语。例如，在西方国家，批判性思维和逻辑性思维是非常重要的。在最近的一个活动中，学生被问到当他们一个人在一个沙漠中应当带哪些东西。这里我教学生怎么样去正确地通过外国网站以及用关键词和正确的术语在搜索引擎搜索的好处。用这种方法，学生可以知道选择哪些物品并且知道为什么选择它们。每个学生的答案都是不一样并且有逻辑的。之后我让他们运用不同的辩论技巧去辩论为什么他们选择的东西对生存来说是有帮助的并且是可行。我喜欢荣誉课程的原因是它可以给我一个机会向学生展示我在外国经常看到的多姿多彩的教学风格和教学策略。虽然这个课程非常新，对于未来的课程我已经有很多的想法和目标，我非常期待未来的课程!

　William：

　　MYP is by nature leading towards comprehension. The instruction is in English, but much more importantly, the students can use English to accomplish their tasks, build their understanding, and communicate with others that share their interests. MYP should give the students an easier and more effective path towards learning English.

　　MYP本质上是通向理解的。教学是用英语，但更重要的是，学生可以用英语来完成他们的任务，建立他们的理解，并与其他有共同兴趣的人交流。MYP应该给学生提供一个更简单、更有效的学习英语的途径。
