Personal reflection:
Teachers had better listen to students’ conversation and analyze their disadvatages and then provide positive encouragement. Students are apt to accept suggestions if they are praised fisrt. Providing useful and approriate advice with more verbs and nouns is better than mere encouragement.
It is fairly reasonable to collect students’ learning data and analyze horizontally. Teachers had better learn knowledge about offering appropriate suggestions as well.
