After the end of the "Cultural Revolution", the college entrance examination system was restored, and batches of young college graduates arrived one after another, injecting new strength into the w88 casino's teaching and research work, and the education of international students at the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation entered a new stage of development. As the backbone of Chinese teaching, Zhu Chengqi is responsible for many professional and public courses such as ancient Chinese, ancient literature, and modern Chinese for undergraduates. He is also responsible for setting up Chinese as a foreign language courses for international students. In order to teach the "Reading and Writing" course to the undergraduate classes of foreign students well, Zhu Chengqi spent more than a year writing a "Reading and Writing" textbook in addition to his busy teaching work. Practice has proved that this textbook can be called a booster to improve the reading ability and writing level of international students.
From the prose of pre-Qin scholars to the literature of the Republic of China, and from there to modern linguistics, Zhu Chengqi stood on the podium40Year.40His academic career has made Zhu Chengqi famous all over the world, and has also enabled the continuous development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language at the w88 casino.
Still teaching and educating people after retirement
1998Year,62Zhu Chengqi retired and devoted all his energy to teaching Chinese to non-academic international students.
After years of teaching practice, Zhu Chengqi has deep experience in teaching Chinese to international students. "When we come into contact with foreign students, we are often confused because their way of thinking and acting are different from ours; if not handled properly, friction will inevitably occur. Therefore, it is very necessary to respect and tolerate each other's cultural traditions." Zhu Chengqi said.
“Some of the foreign undergraduate students I teach are from Europe and the United States, and some are from Asia; their cultures are very different, and their Chinese language foundation is uneven, but I strive to teach without distinction. He teaches people tirelessly until they graduate happily." After the students he taught returned to China and found jobs, they would call him overseas to tell him the good news and thank him profusely; during the Chinese New Year, students across the ocean would call him to congratulate him. Zhu Chengqi was very pleased to hear the fluent Chinese spoken by students from overseas.
Befriended a young teacher for years to come
At the beginning of the new century, Zhu Chengqi began to serve as a teaching supervisor at the International College, exchanging experiences and insights in the field of teaching Chinese as a foreign language with young and middle-aged teachers.
When I first became a teaching supervisor, the international students were very surprised when they saw an old man sitting in the back row and asked him: "Are you here to learn Chinese too?" The teacher introduced: "This is Teacher Zhu Chengqi, he is my teacher and he is here to listen to my lectures." So the international students affectionately called him "Old Teacher".
For Zhu Chengqi, teaching supervision is a form of mutual learning, and it is also a kind of friendship and care between old teachers and young teachers. Zhu Chengqi was neither a good teacher nor a good teacher. Instead, he met frankly with his teachers and learned from each other. As time went by, he became friends with many young teachers. Young teachers all say, "Teacher Zhu is a treasure of our college!" Now, nearly80Zhu Chengqi, who is 15242_15264|years old, still comes to w88 casino twice a week to attend classes, each time4Class hours. Every time he comes to w88 casino, Zhu Chengqi, who lives in Nancheng, wakes up in the morning6Start at 0:00, sit in the classroom on time before class, and never be late.
Last year10In March, "Practical Chinese Vocabulary and Grammar for International Students in China" edited by Zhu Chengqi was published. This book is full of Zhu Chengqi’s practical experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. The reflections and exercises at the end of each lecture are examples of words and sentences collected by international students in oral and written exercises he has collected in the classroom over the years, providing rich and valuable materials for teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
Zhu Chengqi loves the podium and students. He said: "I gained endless fun and profound lessons in a dynamic environment."
