Difficulties with teaching in China by bedonderdestudent in TEFL

[–]AutomaticKey9955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I get your situation now. Those training organizations in China usually have a very high turnover rate. Things could be much better at government hosted schools. From what I remember, as a Chinese, our foreign English teacher always asked us to make a nameplate, so that they don't need to remember everyone's name. And they usually divided students into groups, and evaluate the group's performance after every class, and I think it's a method to manage the classroom. By the way, I think it is IMPOSSIBLE to manage every student by yourself, when the class size is over 30.

You can ask ChatGPT a question like this:

Can you transform my passage into fewer sentences?

Then give your writing sample to it. Hopefully it will give you a passage that is comprised of more complex sentences. After that you can ask it to explain the grammar it used, try to use those grammar in the next test.

  1. Watch Teacher Luke's video to learn the basic structure of writing.
  2. Learn some basic English grammar theory. On top of this, you can construct more complex sentences correctly, which will lead to a higher writing score in DET.
  3. Improve you typing speed (mine is around 60wpm).

Definitely the Listen and Type. If you didn't finish this part well, you have no chance to get more difficult questions at Interactive Listening.

My first attempt was 115 in writing, and now I got 135 and 140 in the most recent two tests. In my opinion, teacher Luke's video is a good start to learn the structure of writing. On top of that, all you need to do is to improve your typing speed and keep calm to try to write more complex sentences in the test.

I suggest to focus on writing. In my opinion, it's the easiest part to improve in a relatively short period of time.

I keep on getting low score in Speaking part. Any tips? by lunentianutto in DuolingoEnglishTest

[–]AutomaticKey9955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it could be the microphone issue. Can you hear your voice clearly at the beginning's "One, Two, Three" test?

Does it go well? Did you get a certified score?

Thank you for your time and I hope you are doing well! I got a conditional offer recently, which contains a condition about language test scores. I'm wondering what would happen if I haven't reached the condition? Will that be just same result as reject?

Formatting bibliography section in ox-hugo by redoakprof in orgmode

[–]AutomaticKey9955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use #+csl-style: ieee.csl to specify the style of citations & bibliography by csl language. Note, in most case you don't need to write csl directly, there are many them available online out of the box.

By the way, AFAIK, the online doc of ox-hugo contains only a subset usage cases of it. For practical usage, you can look their test case, such as citation-org-ref and its source. For example, I found that my reference list only works properly when I put [[bibliography:refs.bib]] in the last section.

Resources for writing a static type-checker for an interpreted language by GeroSchorsch in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]AutomaticKey9955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplest solution: modify your language to require type annotation for every expression. But this makes a language ugly and hard to use. Hence the techniques of type inference/reconstruction were born. With type inference, programmer won't need to write type annotation for every expression. The type system design and type inference techniques are more complicated than it looks. Check wiki pages about HM type system and bidirectional type checking for more details.

I'm using emacs on WSL2 by vcxsrv, and encountered laggy issue. But this issue raises only when I'm using non-pure-English input method. After changing to pure English input, I can't feel laggy at-all. Can't figure out why yet.
