陳守仁2nd Interview情況

shuet_tam

我有D唔係幾開心呀!   

因仔仔介紹自己同副圖畫時太細聲啦, 其實佢英文一向都幾好格, 呢次用英文都講啱晒, 問題係聱音太細, 老師坐得鬼咁遠, 聽到幾多都好成問題囉

呢次面試唔係單對單形式, 係要對住咁多人, 好似演講咁, 真係要考小朋友既膽量格, 雖然好多小朋友都係好細聲 (細聲過我仔仔都有幾個), 只不過我一直以為我仔仔都算係外向主動既小朋友, 應該唔會怯埸, 點知今日先發現原來佢對住太多人時會變得怕羞喔. 真係俾佢激親........

睇情形, 我諗仔仔今次都應該入唔到圍囉, 真慘! 我仲幾鐘意間小學添, 唔知可唔可以係落選後再寫信去 "危"下呢?   

法子

我都見到有d小朋友怕羞,細細聲.不過唔好太介懷結果,得唔得都係平常心.我亦冇咩特別去train 囡囡.
我囡囡都ok,介紹幾得好有信心.

I kept on telling my son to speak up but he still spoke so "politely" that even I could not hear what he said.      

But did any parents notice that even the teacher herself needed a microphone when she spoke. If my son fail, it was all my fault. I should have told him to ask the teacher for the mic.

Also, how can a 5-year old kid defeat stage fright in such a tense condition! I think they choose the wrong way to screen candidates.

There were 3 teachers in the interview room.They looked very unfriendly. Maybe that's why most of the kids did not perform well.

Napoleon,

I totally agree with you.  I don't like such interview arrangement, I don't understand  why they use this methold to choice the student.  

我完全無咁既心理準備, 根據前家長的報料, 以為應是大人同小朋友分開Interview添.

我個仔又係好細聲，不過我地整體氣氛就ok。一group 人都幾開心，不過，其實家長入去都冇嘜用，都冇考家長。

唔知係咪想睇下D家長係點樣？

請問你地有冇用廣東話同國語問問題？ 我地個課室就全程英文，一句中文都冇講過。

我囡囡個組有兩個無黎, 得八個 (6男 2女, 其中 1個女仔印度藉). 一入課室 個 Miss 全程英文, 另外三個 Miss 縮埋一角 monitor 的小朋友動靜同計分.

Part 1 - 五分鐘內砌圖 約 14-15塊, 囡囡第一個砌好 約 2.5 min.    然後教佢用英文 講述 砌圖內情境, 不過佢
一粒聲都唔出, 無跟我講, 估佢驚緊  個 setting  (似大機構見工咁)                       

Part 2 - 由小朋友 舉手 搶講砌圖 , 6個男仔全部舉手 ,
囡囡都係粒聲唔出.  諗住玩完, 第一個 口窒窒講完.
到 Miss 叫 1.2.3 舉手. 囡囡竟然舉手 答,
不過細聲 (我坐隔鄰都幾乎聽唔到) 同幾簡單. My name is X X X.  I am 5 years old.   I can see a bus stop, a park, an aeroplane.  我刻意坐開的無幫 / 提示佢.

total session around 10 min.  
and no other interview as mentioned here b4.

總結:  2nd in. 前 小朋友 無得 warm up,
           其他男仔都細聲講 或 講得好簡單. 好難 作準

睇大家運氣啦!

It is difficult to understand why TSL adopted this "group" approach for 2nd interview, especially the whole interview (part 1 & 2) only lasted about 25 mins. How does TSL assess the kids based on such short period of time? What are the selection criteria?

但係我囡囡個組無得話揀中文 / 英文,  同無咪.

in. 完出黎. 有個媽咪仲話點解唔洗考中文既 ?

in 時間實在太短,  唔通有 3rd in. ?

My case is similar that my daugther is shy and not showing high confidence(...especially, when she know that I sit next to her). Some kids may have a better self-introducing as they may practised at home before. But from what I can see for the story telling portion, all the kids perform in more or less the same level(at least for my group of 7 kids).

In fact, if you observe in more detail about school's arrangement. You may find that they are not very care whether you kid can solve the puzzle or tell a brilliant story:

(1) According to the teacher's instruction, you kids should finish the puzzle on their own. But there is no parent do not "take part" in my group. (Actually, teachers are not paying attending on it!)

(2) Most of the kids are speak in a volume that only their parent know what they are saying. I wonder if the teachers really can hear how many volcabulary  kids used to describe the picture.(Especially for the 2 other teachers who sitting on the back with no facial expression.)

That's why what the school really want to know is whether your kids are those "Active" or "resentable" type. And how is the relationship between Parents and Kids. What the parent will do when their kids need help...

If my guess above is correct, I tend to agree with their approach to screen the kids(or, in more precise, it should be the family...). As all of us understand that the learning model of PLK Camoes Tan is different from those traditional "hard-pushing" primary school.

搶答!? 我地個組無D Part喔, 個老師話順序由No.1開始咋講, 就係咁1號講完就2, 3, 4.........

D小朋友個個都好鬼細聲, 我見到坐係側面個兩位Miss個樣好唔耐煩咁. 鬼咩, 搞到個埸面好似見工咁款, 如果係大人要自我介紹, 對住咁多人, 心理上都會有D怯啦, 何況個D只係5歲小朋友咋, 佢地想要D?效果.

:evil:

shuet_tam

中文!? 可以用中文既咩, 我個Group連一句中文都未聽過或有人講過喔

個個唔同, 我想唯一相同可能係無老師可以聽到D小朋友講?

Fatty

我地果組係同快舉手，老師再叫小朋友答，小朋友都覺得幾開心，有D似玩遊戲。個老師控制得幾好，小朋友唔算太緊張。

其實唔算搶答，只不過係先後次序有分別，最後個個都答晒就finish.

shuet_tam

我覺咁樣幾好喔, 有D氣紛, 好似玩遊戲咁, 小朋友容易投入D, 我仔仔就最鍾意玩呢D野架啦, 但可惜我唔係你地個組呀, 我個組一板一眼咁, 死氣沉沉, "緊張"氣紛就大把, 再加上老師既不耐煩黑面........唉.....

我見到另外三個 Miss 一味 目及住的小朋友
所以我刻意 坐開的無幫 / 提示佢.

不過我個組有個男仔講得幾大聲
講左六七句後
Miss 以為佢講完
點知佢仲講句 not yet.
加多句

Dear LeeHoMa,
one interesting point... For the 1st session, according to the briefing (all in English), it was crystal clear that "parents are REQUESTED TO ASSIST in the puzzle session", such instruction was also in English only. For the second part (self-introduction & picture description), it was explained in bi-lingual by the teacher and most children answered in the same manner.

cheetah

After some thoughts, there are 4 possible criteria that the school may opt for:-

1. the ability+attitude of the parent involved. (judging from the Eng briefing session)

2. the parent-child relationship & co-operation. (judging from the puzzle session)

3. the child education+training level of the child. (judging from the self-introduction session)

4. the child's aptitude & gifted child classification if any. (judging from the picture description session)


comments are welcome.
