As a teaching model which is quite different from the traditional teaching, Inquiry-based Learning inevitably faces various challenges. Based on one of our group’s activities (debate), in general, not every student is good at debating competition or eloquence, especially when using a non-native language to express their views and ideas.

The unfamiliarity with the topic of the debate, the poor listening and speaking ability of the foreign language (French) and so on will be a great obstacle for students to improve their language ability in the debate. I hold a strong belief that there are always more ways than difficulties. In view of these potential problems, we can only analyze them one by one and take corresponding solutions, so that every student can benefit from the debating competition organized by us.

As for one of the problems, the unfamiliarity with the topic of the debate, this may be caused by two reasons, one is that students’ extracurricular life is not rich enough, they know little about things other than study and life, and the other is that students’ vocabulary about debating topics is insufficient. In teaching, we will actively encourage students to improve the accumulation of French vocabulary, and each section of the course will share vocabulary on different topics. after learning vocabulary, students can use what they have learned and combine it with real life. create a short story or write down your understanding of the field.

In terms of the problem of poor listening and speaking ability of the French, we will pay special attention to French listening and pronunciation training in teaching, because this will be the most basic ability to participate in the debate competition. In class, we will increase activities such as French song training, watching French movies and TV dramas, and recommend learning websites or applications for students to practice French pronunciation, so as to encourage students to listen more and speak more French in class and after class.

In the process of teaching, new difficulties and challenges will continue to emerge. only by making a detailed teaching plan can we get a satisfactory teaching quality.
