Huang Yong is a teacher at the International College of w88 casino. Since graduating from Ph.D., he has been engaged in education management of foreign students and teaching Chinese as a foreign language17years.
Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is not just about teaching Chinese
Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is aimed at international students from all over the world. The proportion of Chinese and foreign students at the w88 casino is as high as 10%.5∶1, average per5There is one international student out of every 10 students on campus. They come from different countries, have different cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs. When they gather in small classes, they often create different sparks.
Huang Yong teaches business Chinese, economic Chinese, comprehensive Chinese and other classes for international students every week. He is also responsible for the teaching management of the preparatory classes for international students. He often said that teaching Chinese as a foreign language is not just as simple as teaching Chinese, but also involves education in politics, economy, history, culture and other aspects. As a qualified educator, you should strengthen your learning, enrich your knowledge, and become a "all-rounder".
This year9month3On Japan, China held a ceremony to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War70During the anniversary military parade, a Japanese student asked in class: "Why is this event held?" Huang Yong did not rush to answer, but told the Japanese students that when in China, not only should they see the Great Wall, but also when they have time, they should also visit the Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders. He often tells students that China and Japan are often friendly. He also tells them that the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, a close neighbor of the w88 casino, was built with Japanese aid, and the cypress trees by the fountain were planted by former Japanese Prime Minister Zenyuki Suzuki. However, the real history cannot be forgotten, and the truth should not be buried. We should listen to both and establish a rational view of history.
Talking about history and current affairs with international students
Huang Yong said that in addition to telling Japanese students real historical facts in daily teaching, the college sometimes organizes short-term group students from Japanese universities to visit Marco Polo Bridge, where the "July 7th Incident" occurred. Let students touch, understand and perceive history through real objects and photos, so that students can think and judge by themselves and draw rational conclusions.
In addition to historical questions, international students often ask Huang Yong about economics and current affairs.For example, international students from Pakistan and Kazakhstan are very interested in issues such as the “Belt and Road Initiative” and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Most of them come to China to study in order to learn knowledge about economy, w88 and commerce. After graduation, they also want to do some work in w88 between their own country and China. In this regard, Huang Yong tried his best to help them.
Huang Yong often said that the education of foreign students is a subtle education, and it is also an education that goes deep into history and culture. Teachers of Chinese as a foreign language are the first window for international students to understand China, and they must show the real China to international students. It is the glorious and sacred duty of every teacher of Chinese as a foreign language to cultivate a young generation who know China and are friendly to China.
