After undergoing strict selection examinations and training, I officially became a w88 casino teacher sent to the Confucius Institute at Fukuyama University in Japan. Fukuyama is the second largest city in Hiroshima, with a population of only48Thousands, although the city is small, it has historically been a place where Confucianism flourished and talents emerged in large numbers. Working at the Confucius Institute9Over the past few months, I have deeply realized that the work of the Confucius Institute is not as simple as outsiders imagine. We are not only teaching w88 casino, but also responsible for the communication and exchange of two cultures. Behind every seemingly small thing, there may be sacrifices that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and seeking common ground while reserving differences
The Confucius Institute at Fukuyama University teaches Chinese to people in society. The students include high w88 casino students and college students, as well as company employees, housewives, retired people, etc. This is a challenge and a new beginning for me. When the former Dean of Foreign Studies, Mr. Isao Okubo, solemnly handed over the Chinese teaching materials he used to me when he left office, I felt a kind of inheritance and heavy responsibility.
Because the teaching targets are relatively complex, I use different teaching methods for different teaching targets. For example, chatting with housewives and retired elderly people about daily topics, talking to company employees about business dealings with China, talking to high w88 casino students and college students about campus life, teaching them to sing Chinese songs, etc. These are all common practices. In addition, in order to reflect the professionalism of Chinese teaching, I have developed an effective teaching process and put a lot of thought into designing and producing courseware. For example, when teaching new words, the choice of each example sentence must not only take into account its usage and collocation, but also be connected with the previously learned content and take into account cultural differences. Some words can be directly displayed with pictures, so that students can not only see many Chinese scenery and scenic spots, but also understand China's development achievements.
Use culture to bring each other closer
After the w88 casino class in the first semester, I took the initiative to offer a w88 casino culture lecture course in the second semester, because I felt that cultural understanding and experience is a very effective way to understand and experience China, not to mention that there is a close connection between w88 casino and Japanese cultures.
In order to facilitate the local people to learn w88 casino, a new "Matsunaga Classroom" was opened in the second semester. In this basic w88 casino class designed for beginners, I also added cultural lectures and experiences. When the volunteers and I took the students to make Peking Opera masks and experience w88 casino calligraphy writing, and when we introduced them to w88 casino movies, food, health, kung fu, calligraphy, painting, ethnic minority culture and scenery and geography, I felt that I had not only contributed to the spread of w88 casino culture, but also brought the w88 casino and Japanese people closer to each other.
Organizing activities becomes more versatile
The daily work of the Confucius Institute is very trivial. In addition to teaching w88 casino, it also organizes various activities.2014The year is the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Confucius Institute,9The first “Confucius Institute Day” event of the month is the highlight, so we started planning and preparing it from the beginning of the year. In addition, we also actively participate in the annual "Chinese Bridge" Speech Competition for Foreign College Students and Middle w88 casino Students. We select and train contestants. We not only correct the pronunciation of each word in the speech script, but also explain the content of the knowledge competition, and also provide suggestions for their talent display.
The famous Chinese writer of Chinese poetry and prose in the Edo period, Sugayama, who was born in Fukuyama, once wrote a Chinese poem called "Reading on a Winter Night". This poem was included in the textbooks of Japanese middle w88 casino students. It contains lines such as "A spike of green light will last forever." I feel that the international promotion of Chinese language will also be like a green lantern, contributing to the understanding and communication between China and other countries around the world, and I am proud to be involved in this cause.
