Many students choose to study in the UK because they are attracted by the rigorous teaching system and diversified teaching models of British universities. It is the teacher’s lecture in a large classroom or the education model in a small class. Let’s learn more about the teaching model of studying in the UK.
What is the teaching mode of studying abroad in the UK? 1. Teacher Lectures Lectures in British universities are usually given by one or more professors or lecturers to explain professional knowledge, theories, recent academic development, etc.
It is very effective to build a professional theoretical framework through lectures.
The classroom used for the lecture will usually choose the classroom or the room with large space, the teacher will use slides, multimedia and other ways to show.
At the end of the class, the teacher will give students time to ask questions and give feedback. After class, the teacher will also answer some questions.
The length of lectures in British universities is generally 1 to 3 hours. The amount of information is relatively large, and the speed of the teacher is also relatively fast, which requires everyone to digest knowledge quickly.
In addition, teachers usually assign reading requirements before class and discuss problems in the reading materials in class. Therefore, people need to do pre-class reading to preview, otherwise it is easy to miss knowledge points.
The class time of discussion class is usually 45 minutes, and the number of people is about 10~20.
Sometimes the person leading the discussion is a professor, sometimes a PhD student in the same field.
This kind of class is also more relaxed and casual in form. The teacher will set a topic for discussion at the beginning of the class, and then form a group of three or four people to discuss the problems raised by the teacher.
After the discussion, the teacher will listen to the discussion results of each group, or the group will select one or more members to make a self-presentation, and the teacher will give comments on the performance and results of the discussion process.
In this way, students can consolidate what they have learned in the lectures.
In British colleges and universities, each student is assigned a personal tutors to a teacher or a college researcher.
Personal tutors are mainly responsible for asking, tutoring and following up everyone’s graduation thesis, including the early topic determination, research methods, structure of each stage, the final written, the first draft review and so on.
Teachers in UK universities will not be on campus every day, so during the only office hours, teachers in each major will open their own tutoring schedule accordingly. Students can make appointment for tutoring by Email.
During the 15 to 30 minutes of individual tutoring, students can communicate with the teacher about any issues in the course.
Field survey Students of architecture, archaeology, urban planning and other majors in British universities often go on field trips.
You will travel to different countries or cities and learn from field trips.
Engineering, medicine, journalism and other majors will also visit companies or factories in the industry to let people know about the real enterprise environment and work process.
Presentation presentation class is a person or more people come to the platform, using their own information board or ppt to make a statement on a topic, generally in 10~20 minutes, the teacher and students can ask questions after the end.
This skill is especially important in the future, when you are launching a product, or coming up with a plan to be approved by the board of directors, the ability to present yourself will directly affect the results of your work.
Therefore, it is very important for you to develop your clear thinking, graceful manner and clear expression during your study.
