Meet Yue Yu, a grade two student in a high school in China. G
Yue Yu’s duty is to observe and report
the overall conduct of the students including the subject
study leaders, the group leaders and student on duty, to the school's head teacher. The monitor
is also responsible for reporting on the foreign teacher. Yue Yu reports absence, misbehavior, inappropriate language,
inappropriate topics, late arrival,
unfinished homework and homework not handed in. Yue Yu takes her duties as monitor very seriously.
“How did you get chosen to be the monitor?” I said.
“The Head Teacher chose me to
be the monitor because I have the highest marks in every subject”, Yue Yu said.

Yue
Yu’s English is a band score of 4 IELTS. IELTS stands for International English
Language Testing System. It is a test of English language skills designed for
students who want to study in the medium of English either at university,
college or high school. Yue Yu’s band score of four indicates that she is a ‘Limited
User” and that she has basic English language competence that is limited to
familiar situations. Yue Yu has frequent problems in understanding and
expression and is not able to use complex language. This is good news and bad news for
the teacher, because part of Yue Yu’s responsibility is to report
the teacher’s words and actions in the classroom to the Head
Teacher and you want her to comprehend your meaning.
The duty of classroom monitor is described by Peng Wen Juan, a Chinese English teacher, this way:
In
my opinion, the job of the monitor in a class is to be a good example and a
good guide, to lead the class to having a good attitude towards studying, and
also help teachers to have good classes. best wishes!
Peng Wen Juan
