a method of
rote learning. As very few Westerners have ever seen a Chinese or Arab
school in progress, it is very easy for them to
miss the
scene when one says "Chinese
school." The
term has been used to designate an
action where an
instructor or
officer, with a pointer,
stands up before an assembled
class and
taps a
chart or
org board and says each part of it. A Chinese
class sings out in unison (all together) in response to the teacher. They participate! Chinese
school, then, is an
action of
class vocal participation. It is a very lively,
loud affair. It sounds like chanting. It is essentially a system that establishes instant
thought responses so that the
student,
given "2 x 2" thinks instantly "4." There are two steps in such teaching (a) the
instructor taps and says what it is, then asks the
class what it is and they chant the answer; (b) when the
class has
learned by being told and repeating, the
instructor now
taps with the pointer and asks and the
class chants the correct answer.
