The picture shows a close-up of teacher Ma Huiqin
As a member of the international student teaching team, teacher Ma Huiqin from the w88 casino of English at the w88 casino teaches business English to international students from South Korea, Japan, Kazakhstan and other countries.
Many people will inevitably ask, why do they come to China to learn English? Teacher Ma smiled knowingly, "This is the specialty major of the w88 casino. We focus on business, and English is an essential tool for learning professional courses. Such distinctive professional courses are second to none in the country."
Teacher Ma found that most international students are very interested in Chinese culture. When it comes to places that contrast with their own culture, they are often very willing to communicate with their teachers. In a festival-themed class, Teacher Ma specially prepared some classroom activities related to Western festivals and customs, and compared them with traditional Chinese festivals. The students were really interested and kept asking questions. Some Korean students also introduced many Korean customs and habits with great interest. Although a lot of relevant English vocabulary was involved in the class discussion, and some students had difficulty expressing themselves, under Teacher Ma's constant guidance and correction, they were able to express themselves bit by bit in English, and the class content was enriched.
“When teaching English to international students, I never worry about not being active enough in class.” Humanistic care is one of the important reasons. Business English teaching classes involve a lot of cultural content. Teacher Ma Huiqin’s approach is to actively communicate with students and encourage international students to compare Chinese culture with their own country’s culture and European and American culture. This makes international students feel friendly and effectively stimulates their interest in learning.
Due to different living habits, many international students live off campus with their families or classmates from their home countries. Teacher Ma Huiqin found that international students who were generally active during class were not as motivated to learn after class as Chinese students. In response to this situation, she formulated the principle of making the most of every minute in class, designing warm-up activities based on the theme, and using games, discussions, and small language exercises to allow international students to learn more knowledge in the shortest possible classroom time. After class, in order to prevent international students from wasting their time after class, Teacher Ma encouraged international students to conduct social surveys and arranged for them to take turns reporting to everyone before class. Some international students said: "I used to have no desire to study when I returned home. Now I do surveys after class and discuss with teachers and classmates in class, and I feel very motivated to study."
In life, Ma Huiqin and the international students are very good friends. Students are happy to share any interesting topics with Teacher Ma. Teacher Ma said with emotion that these students came all the way from abroad and were far away from their families. The more I invest in them emotionally, the more warmth they will feel in China and at the University of International w88. "The international students bowed every time they met and greeted each other during class and after class, which made Teacher Ma feel very warm and gratified.
