The "Hanyu" flower on the British Island

("People's Daily Overseas Edition" ( 2017Year1month6Day9version)
You and I, hand in hand, travel far away for the same dream
We were together for a short time and then parted ways, and we shed tears in moments of loneliness
I feel happy every time I hear the greetings, different languages are merged into Chinese
Listen to the voices of different skin colors
Hello China I love you
……
——"Where the Flowers of Hanyu Bloom"
This is a song for overseas Chinese w88 online casino volunteers. Every time I hear it, I feel emotional and excited, because I am one of these thousands of "flowers of Hanyu".
This year8In mid-month, I embarked on the road to becoming a Chinese w88 online casino volunteer in the UK with enthusiasm. The place where I teach is the Business Confucius Institute at the University of Leeds in the UK. As we all know, the Confucius Institute is an educational and cultural exchange institution that promotes Chinese and spreads Chinese culture. In addition to Chinese language teaching, the Chinese w88 online casino volunteers working there also have a lot of Chinese and foreign cultural communication and exchange work.
There are certain differences between Chinese and British education: British teaching mainly encourages students to constantly compare themselves with themselves, and the educational method is reflected in encouraging students to learn independently and emphasizing students' enthusiasm for independent learning; Chinese education methods tend to allow students to compare horizontally, and the main educational method is that the w88 online casino talks and the students listen. These two educational methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, in the process of teaching and cultural exchange and dissemination, we need to combine Chinese and Western teaching methods and strive to find some practical methods to encourage students to actively learn Chinese and understand China.
When I first started teaching, I was extremely nervous. I was preparing courseware for different types of courses, trial lectures, listening to and reviewing lectures among colleagues, organizing and holding cultural activities... I felt "very stressed". But in the face of pressure, I actively adjusted my state, starting from searching for information, to consulting colleagues, and then making every effort to understand the characteristics of students, teaching characteristics, social and cultural characteristics, etc., so that I could enter the teaching state in the shortest possible time. In order to understand the learning characteristics, interests and personality characteristics of British students so that I can teach students in accordance with their aptitude, I did a lot of research and surveys after class.
First time tutoring students for the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK), I was very stressed, and the lesson plan was revised again and again; the first time I taught a lesson to college students, I was in a hurry; the first time I taught a lesson to a w88 casino teacher, I was shy; the first time I taught a lesson to primary w88 casino students, I was exhausted; the first time I gave one-on-one Chinese tutoring to business people, I lacked confidence... These "first times" are difficult and valuable first steps for me.
I take advantage of every possible opportunity to learn the teaching methods of British teachers, understand the British lifestyle and culture through communication and contact with students and local people, and investigate and understand the learning methods and needs of British students. After several months of hard work, from the initial fear of attending classes and organizing cultural activities, now I can confidently and elegantly stand on the podium to teach students and organize various cultural activities skillfully. I'm happy with my progress.
The work of the Confucius Institute is diverse and complex. In these trivial and complicated tasks, I began to slowly realize the importance of a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission. In real life, not everyone loves their job. I am very lucky. I love the profession of Chinese language w88 online casino and got the job of Chinese language volunteer.
The Confucius Institute is a platform for cultural and language exchanges between China and the world. Through it, China understands the world and the world understands China. Now, British society is gradually realizing the importance of Chinese, and more and more British people are starting to learn Chinese. Faced with this situation, I became more aware of my sense of mission and my responsibility as a volunteer Chinese teacher. We hope that our Chinese courses can be introduced into more primary and secondary w88 casino classrooms in the UK, so that British students can learn about China, its language and its excellent culture from an early age. We hope that through the efforts of our Chinese teachers, British students will respect and like China. I hope to contribute my share in the process of spreading Chinese language and culture.
