摘要：
Three female English major students from Taiwan conducted a short term internship in the U.S. Their main task was to teach American high school students Chinese. It was the first time for those 18 American students to learn Chinese. In the process of language learning, they presented active and enthusiastic attitudes towards Chinese learning. The most impressive events occurred in the classroom were that American students asked questions actively whenever they were curious or puzzled, got involved in joining the activities, and had no fears on making mistakes. In addition to their active involvement, they were very interested in cultural issues, such as specific festival celebrations in Taiwan and the art of calligraphy. Owing to their enthusiastic attitudes, three student teachers were willing to give more extra instructions on Chinese teaching. It shows that well interaction appeared in the classroom will result in win-win situations on both teachers and students. Three Taiwanese interns made comments that the attitudes students performed in the classroom in Taiwan should get rid of being silent and indifferent and become more active and articulate to create an enthusiastic learning environment. Being student teachers, they also found that it was hard for teachers to manage a well classroom when students were distracted by irrelevant activities, such as playing with the smart phone, chatting, and making noise. In this case, they concluded that there were two main characteristics managing a successful foreign language class. One was the students’ positive attitudes, another an active classroom atmosphere.
